It's official 2023 is the best year for gaming since 2003

With 25 games this year that scored 90% or higher review scores, it's the best year for gaming in the last 20 and leaves gamers spoilt for choice

Other particularly good years for gamers: 2003, 2007 and 2011 with each generating 20 games each scoring 90%+

2016 was the worst year with just 8 games scoring 90%+

I'm currently on Alan wake 2 and just purchased physical copies of spiderman 2, super Mario wonder and Metroid prime. Also still have the latest Forza installed from gamepass, as well as Lies of P and Lords of the Fallen to play. There is also some new PSVR2 games I want this month

I technically have 4 game platforms that I use regularly, ps5, pc, switch and psvr2 so I'm drowning in games

The games have been so good publishers and developers have laid off thousands of staff.

It's everywhere though

Businesses around the world on average hired an extra 20% staff during Covid, and now that Covid induced customer demand is gone, that 20% is being let go
