Was it just me or was 2023 the greatest year for video games ever? It seemed like an incredible new game was coming out almost every week, to the point where I was kind of overwhelmed by the sheer volume of new titles available. I tried to get to as many of the big, new releases as I could but still have quite a few on my backburner for when things die down a bit. Nevertheless I managed to whittle my year-end list down to six games.
What follows are my personal favorite games of the year, the ones that left the biggest lasting impression on me and reminded me why gaming is my most loved hobby.
