The title that has been mentioned in this story is Caves of Qud – a game that has just exited Early Access after a long 9 years of development.
After nearly a decade of anticipation, Caves of Qud has managed to capture everyone’s attention, just as it stands out among various major releases this year such as Balatro, Black Myth: Wukong, Hades II, and Satisfactory.
According to reports, with a score of up to 95 on OpenCritic, Caves of Qud has become the highest-rated game of 2024.
In terms of substance, Caves of Qud is not just an extremely prominent release; this title belongs to the genre of science fiction roguelikes, which tends to challenge players. Its quality is undeniable, as after 17 years of development, Caves of Qud 1.0 has launched and received an overwhelmingly positive reception. Even on Steam, a platform known for its challenging games, Caves of Qud has achieved a 95% positive rating.
Caves of Qud can be compared to Dwarf Fortress in terms of depth and complexity. Notably, its simulation elements in creating a vibrant living world have made other games envious. Currently, Caves of Qud is not part of the Steam Winter Sale but is available with a 15% discount on purchase. The current price of Caves of Qud on Steam is quite steep, reaching over 600,000 VND.
With its recognition as the highest-rated game of 2024, Caves of Qud is also a worthy contender for many other games, especially for those who are fans of the roguelike genre.
