Super AiG Screenshots of the Year: 2024

This year on Super Adventures, I got a little busy with stuff and wasn't able to cover as many games as I would've liked. It's a bit frustrating actually, as I'd put a hundred hours into a epic RPG trilogy (DLC and all) and I was about to get to work on an article about the third one when my focus was pulled elsewhere... for 6 months. I'm sure I'll be able to remember some of it though.

Anyway, you might be thinking that there's no point in me writing an article showing off my favourite screenshots of the last year when I only played 11 games, and I can definitely follow your line of thinking. In fact, you're starting to talk me out of it. But it's what I do at the end of every year and I'm fast running out of December, so I'm just going to get on with it.

Besides, some of those games are absolute classics. And one of the other ones is Loadstar: The Legend of Tully Bodine, so expect to see an exploding skeleton at some point. The GIF's a bit graphic.

The Crew Motorfest (PC)

Developer: Ivory Tower
| Release Date: 2023 | Systems: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X

This week on Super Adventures, I'm finally back after a five month break and I'm writing about a racing game! The fifth racing game in a row! This wasn't my original plan, but a free trial came along and to be honest I didn't really have an original plan so I figured I might as well put some words underneath the screenshots I was taking.

Everyone calls this The Crew Motorfest, not The Crew: Motorfest, so I'll be skipping the colon too. In fact, I'll probably just call it Motorfest. Or MOTORFEST  if I feel like adding a bit more style to it.

The game was originally going to be called Motorcamp. In fact, it wasn't originally going to be its own game at all, it was going to be DLC for The Crew 2, but the ideas they had were incompatible with the game's capabilities so they just made it its own thing. With an upgraded engine and shinier graphics.

Okay, I usually play through the first hour or so of a game and write down what's happening as I experiencing it, but for racing games I give them more of a regular review, so this is going to be something a little different. Except I just reviewed four other racing games, so this is actually extremely normal now, I guess.
