YOUR Game of the Year 2023

[TNA]

?????

Youll pay £60 for for Starfield which from broad opinion is a worse game of the two rather than spend £50 on BG3??... ok.....

Who spent £60 on Starfield? Not me.

I spent 50% less than that for the premium code on members market. I was hyped as it was fallout in space. To me getting Fallout in space right would always be worth a hell of a lot more than BG3.

Also I am not 100% sure if I will like BG3. I enjoyed divinity original sin, yet did not enjoy the sequel and never finished it.

Also I rarely pay more than around £35 for a game. Certainly not more than £40 unless it is from a franchise I love and want to support.

So yeah. Take your judgemental comment and stick it where the sun doesn't shine

Avatar for me, I'm normally a apex player daily but it's actually pulled me away! Only game this year to do so!

 

[Tombstone]

it said MY game of the year, and i only bought it this year

Which is fine, it can be your game of the year but unfortunately it doesnt follow the rules ( Rule #2 - Must have been FULL released between Jan 1st 2023 and Dec 31st 2023 (which means that yes, a game which was in Early Access pre-2023 but got its FULL release this year, IS allowed ) , so I cant add it to this list.

Cocoon was the only game I played this year, I loved the soundtrack, it really helped immersion in the atmosphere of the game

I havent tried that but I've actually heard very good things about it, seen its nominated for a few awards this year too

I gave it my most innovative gameplay award at the Steam awards. It's definitely something to experience.

I'm going with #6... I don't think ive played a 2023 release on the PC this year!

Tonight is the Game Awards for 2023, so might as well open my annual YOUR GOTY thread today too.

I paid for a single game this year: Assetto Corsa. I got Starfield as part of the AMD promo deal. Really, I've stuck to my old favourites.

So put me down for Nothing at all.

 

[Trublsumtrotsky]

BG3 for me as well

 

[Psymonkee]

D&D Baldur's Gate 3 and it's not even close.

 

[xaldub]

On PC my GOTY is Baldur's Gate 3. But my real GOTY across all platforms is Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

PC is THE gaming platform so only your PC GOTY counts

Baldur’s Gate 3… By a country mile.

May your next game be infested with necromancer minions

 

[Huddy]

Blasphemous 2 for me.

 

[Frenzy]

BG3 almost, but I'd have to say no to it as I personally feel release state and the fact it is unfinished gave me a bitter taste. Other than that I suspect I would have chosen ratchet and clank but I haven't played it yet. So nothing for me.

Vampire Survivors although it came out of early access late 2022 the game is awesome.

The console versions came out this year though.

Yeah went full release as the end of last year unfortunately

 

[Parky]

Always a little fuzzy on the release date rules with console ports, but if it's allowed, easily my number 1 for this year was Returnal.

If not allowed, it's very close, but I'd have to just pip RE4 Remake as the winner ahead of Armoured Core 6.

BG3 likely on my list to go through next year as I normally don't play that kind of game, but it's the only one that's really peaked my interest.
