Google Unveils 2024's Top Apps, Games, and Books
Google recently announced its prestigious Google Play Awards 2024, celebrating the year's best in mobile apps, games, and books. The winners showcase a blend of expected frontrunners and some surprising choices. Let's delve into the complete list of victors.
Game of the Year: A Surprise Contender
The coveted Game of the Year award went to AFK Journey, a fantasy RPG developed by Farlight and Lilith Games. Its expansive world, stunning visuals, and epic battles featuring a vast roster of characters impressed Google's judges. While the win for an "Away From Keyboard" (AFK) idle game might seem unexpected, the game's exploration elements and artistic merit clearly resonated.
Best Multi-Device Game: A Cross-Platform Champion
Supercell's Clash of Clans secured the Best Multi-Device Game award. Its expansion beyond mobile platforms to PCs and Chromebooks was a key factor in its victory. Players can now strategize, build armies, and conquer villages seamlessly across phones, tablets, and desktops.

The remaining awards saw a mix of familiar names and fresh faces:
- Best Multiplayer Game: Supercell's Squad Busters
- Best Pick Up & Play: NetEase Games' Eggy Party
