2024 may not have been quite the insane year that 2023 was, but it’s been a solid year for games nonetheless, and specifically on the PlayStation side of things, things have been quite interesting. Though Sony’s typical premium cinematic single-player titles were MIA this year, the PS5 has nonetheless seen plenty of excellent solo games in 2024 (including a fair few that were smaller but excellent first-party games)- and though this year is almost over, there’s still more waiting on the sidelines. Over the coming weeks, PS5 players still have a handful of notable single-player games to look forward to, and here, we’re going to go over the ones that stand out to us in particular.
DRAGON AGE: THE VEILGUARD
Let’s start things off with what’s probably the most obvious pick. Of the games still due out in the remainder of 2024, it’s fair to say that Dragon Age: The Veilguard is easily among the biggest ones, if not flat out the biggest, period. The wait for a follow up to Dragon Age: Inquisition has stretched on for over a decade, but based on everything that we’ve seen of it so far, it’s looking like The Veilguard may actually end up being worth that weight. In particular, the game’s cast of companion characters and its new combat system – which blends traditional Dragon Age tactics with more aggressive real-time action – have looked promising, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg in terms of why exactly The Veilguard has caught our eye in the lead up to its release. Hopefully, this will be the return to form that BioWare fans have been hoping to see from the studio for so long.
