Whilst 2024 still has potential to reach the heights of all-timer 2023 in terms of amazing games, this year has had its fair share of disappointment too.

Whether fish-eye shooters gain significant popularity remains to be seen but it certainly adds an immersiveness not yet realised in other shooters. However, the novelty wears off quickly – aiming down sights is clunky, game modes are light, guns unwieldy, sound distorted. In short: there’s still a way to go for this early access game.
