I've tried to do a bit of a mix of old and new games, although of course a lot of great games were left out. I wanted to give at least a vote to Age of Decadence, but then I remembered that it's a Codex favourite, so I gave that point to Kingdom Come instead, which probably needs it a bit more than AoD.

I haven’t played ELEX or Atom yet or stuff like Realms of Arkania or Vogel’s games, so my vote for Codex’s 2024 best RPGs list could be different (Disco Elysium releasing by then should also be a factor )

I wanted to write that votes from new accounts are not counted, but turns out you waited exactly one year for your first post. That is some hardcore dedication (or autism).
