    Yeah - Hogwarts, TOTK, Baldur’s Gate 3 and Starfield is quite an amazing run.

    Yes. 2023, at least from a AAA perspective, is probably the best gaming year we’ve had in at least half a decade. Many of the covid delays are finally reaching their conclusion this year.

    For indies/AA it’s always hard to tell until the end of the year because so many things come out of nowhere. But with stuff like DREDGE, Darkest Dungeon II, Wildfrost, and Hifi Rush already out plus demos for future 2023 games like Jumplight Odyssey and Norland being great it seems like a pretty solid year on that front as well.

    For sure, and not even because of those five. PSVR2 and FFXVI were released this year which have been awesome

    Zelda tears of the kingdom is probably my favorite open world game uptil now, there’s just so much to do and the building mechanics make the game a lot more fun. I’ve spent more time building and exploring rather than doing the main story, also collecting outfits and farming is fun as i figure out new ways to kill hoards of enemies. Can’t wait to see how other open world games get inspired by the new zelda.

    And we still have Starfield, BG3, Phantom Liberty to come before the end of year! Possibly Silksong? GW2 expansions is coming as well, Remnant 2 is releasing,…

    We had some colossal disappointments too but I gotta admit it’s looking like a pretty good year overall.

    Didn’t get any of them. I’m so over triple a games.

    For all the hate COD gets, the new one is honestly great for someone who hasn’t played in around a decade.

    I could do without the silly skins, but I guess that’s what sells these days.

    I am very happy to see RE up there. Can’t wait until we get another mainline game!

    HiFi Rush is such a unique banger both in terms of art direction and game design, shame it released so early in the year.

    I hope it’s not forgotten when awards season rolls around.
