2023 has been an interesting year for gaming. Now that the year is almost halfway through and our big June releases are out I’d like to discuss the best games you’ve played this year, but feel free to also mention your big disappointments this year.
Humanity was perhaps the biggest surprise. It’s not much of a looker, but I just couldn’t put it down until I had 100% completed it. The puzzles are really addictive.
Hi-Fi Rush and Hogwart’s Legacy so far for me.
In the “disappointments” category, has to be Redfall. I don’t think anyone expected anything from Gollum.
Undoubtedly TOTK and RE:4R. Both amazing single player experiences but Zelda is really in a class of its own.
For me I have one game that actually fits both of these categories: Jedi Survivor. It’s the best game of the year in terms of story, gameplay, and lore for me personally as a Star Wars fan. However, it’s also the worst game of the year because it was rushed out the door and my PC can barely run it smoothly despite having a Ryzen 7 3700X and an RX 6800 XT.
I’ve only really played two games that have come out this year, Street Fighter 6 and HiFi Rush. Both are GOTY-material if you like action.
Oh and Warhammer 40k Boltgun. Fun old-school FPS in the style of Duke Nukem 3D and co. Highly recommend it if you enjoy either the license or a satisfying shotgun or two.
