Our graphics of the year vid for 2024 is out! 2024 had some truly mind-bending looking games that pushed the medium forward either with impressive performance, materials, lighting or characters. The top 2 especially contrast in distinct ways. Congrats to all that made the list!

Finally came out the end of shipping Indiana Jones, very proud of the team pushing through and delivering.
Few people believed a good 1st person game was possible, from what i can tell we created a unicorn.
You should go play it , please tell me what you thought of it after new years.

Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is shaping up to be one of my favourite games of all time and it has gotten the "Full Ray Tracing" treatment on PC - massively increasing the game's fidelity and bridging the gap to offline rendering. How does it look and run? Find out!

Indiana Jones has a great PC version that looks noticeably better than the Xbox version, and runs well in spite of *mandatory* hardware ray tracing support for Global Illumination. 8-10 GB GPU users though will need to be careful with settings. My review below!
