The last days of 2024 are ahead of us, so we have the opportunity to look back and assess what kind of year it was. What were the ups and downs, the disappointments that left us and the surprises that reignited our love for games? And, importantly, how have Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo coped with this awkward period where all their consoles are a few years ancient but not quite ready to be replaced yet? (The company has confirmed that a Nintendo successor to the Switch will be coming soon, but has yet to officially announce or show off the device.) Well, we’ve spent most of the last week pondering these very questions.

And if you’re looking for more end-of-year coverage, don’t miss out our picks for the best games of 2024.
