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

Final fantasy is real fuckin good too.

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

It says top selling games tho.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Would've expected to see Diablo IV here. Isn't it like the best selling Blizzard game ever or something?

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.

Diablo 4 for me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It's going to be awesome. Starfield and Phantom Liberty look amazing.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Swear, I'm ready for "For the King 2" to come out

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The first is great!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Absolutely same here

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It’s gonna be interesting too see where Only Up! ends up.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That Jedi Survivor is in there is worrying considering the issues the game has/have…

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Because top selling doesn't mean top rating. Top selling mostly means top advertising and or top branding, sometimes top stupidity.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I've spent sooooo many hours in TOTK and looking forward to many, many more.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.
