Of all the games I've played in 2024, my current favorite is Animal Well. Ethereal, colorful, and absolutely fiendish, it reminded me of why I love puzzle games - sometimes, it's nice to down weapons, close League of Legends, and just vibe. While Animal Well is my 2024 favorite (so far), Strange Horticulture was my staple relaxing game back in 2022, incorporating the witchy aesthetic that I love with, well, a lot of planets. Now, Bad Viking has announced that it's getting a sequel, Strange Antiquities, and I am far too excited.
