Google recently announced its top picks for the best apps, games, and books of 2024, revealing a mix of anticipated and unexpected winners. Let's delve into the Google Play Awards 2024 winners.

Game of the Year: AFK Journey

Farlight and Lilith Games' AFK Journey, a fantasy RPG, claimed the coveted Game of the Year award. Its expansive world, stunning visuals, and epic battles featuring a large roster of characters impressed Google. While the "Away From Keyboard" idle game genre might be an unexpected choice for this accolade, the game's exploration elements and impressive graphics clearly resonated with the judges.

Best Multi-Device Game: Clash of Clans

Supercell's enduringly popular 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 strategize, build, and battle across multiple devices.

Other Notable Winners:

• Best Multiplayer Game: Squad Busters (Supercell)
• Best Pick Up & Play Game: Eggy Party (NetEase Games)
• Best Story: Solo Leveling: Arise (A surprising choice, given the game's story isn't universally praised).
