Google just announced its 2024 best apps, games, and books. Some winners were predictable, others less so. Let's explore the Google Play Awards 2024 winners.
Top Performers
The coveted "Best Game" award went to AFK Journey, a fantasy RPG from Farlight and Lilith Games. Its expansive world, stunning visuals, and epic battles featuring a huge roster of characters secured the win. While the victory of an "Away From Keyboard" idle game might surprise some, Google highlights the game's exploration and graphics as key factors.
Supercell's Clash of Clans received the "Best Multi-Device Game" award, thanks to its expansion beyond mobile to PCs and Chromebooks. Players can now build bases, train armies, and engage in clan warfare across various devices.
Additional accolades include:
- Best Multiplayer Game: Supercell's Squad Busters
- Best Pick Up & Play: NetEase Games' Eggy Party, praised for its accessibility.
- Best Story: Solo Leveling: Arise (a somewhat unexpected choice).
- Best Indie: Yes, Your Grace, developed by Brave at Night and published by Noodlecake, a mobile port of a popular PC title.
- Best Ongoing: Honkai: Star Rail, recognized for its consistent updates and engaging content.
- Best for Families: Tab Time World by Kids at Play.
