Google Play Awards 2024: Unveiling the Winners

Google Unveils 2024's Top Apps, Games, and Books – A Few Surprises!

Google recently announced its prestigious Google Play Awards 2024, recognizing the year's best in apps, games, and books. While some winners were expected, others were quite unexpected. Let's delve into the list of triumphant titles.

Game of the Year: AFK Journey

Farlight and Lilith Games' AFK Journey, a fantasy RPG, clinched the coveted Game of the Year award. Its expansive world, stunning visuals, and epic battles featuring a vast roster of characters impressed Google. The win is somewhat surprising given its "Away From Keyboard" (idle) gameplay style, but the game’s exploration elements and artistic merit clearly resonated with the judges.

Best Multi-Device Game: Clash of Clans

Supercell’s enduring hit, Clash of Clans, secured the Best Multi-Device Game award. Its expansion beyond mobile to PCs and Chromebooks was a key factor in its victory. Players can now enjoy raiding, building, and clan warfare across various devices.

Other Notable Winners:

• Best Multiplayer Game: Squad Busters (Supercell)
• Best Pick Up & Play: Eggy Party (NetEase Games)
• Best Story: Solo Leveling: Arise (A somewhat surprising choice, given the game's story isn't universally lauded.)
• Best Indie: Yes, Your Grace (Brave at Night/Noodlecake) – This popular PC RPG made a successful mobile debut this year.
• Best Ongoing: Honkai: Star Rail – Continuing its success with consistent updates and engaging content.
• Best for Families: Tab Time World (Kids at Play)
• Best Play Pass Game: Kingdom Rush 5: Alliance
• Best Google Play Games on PC: Cookie Run: Tower of Adventures
