YOUR Game of the Year 2023

[Yaayuh!]

Nothing to note

 

[Tombstone]

If there's one category BG3 is guaranteed to win at The Game Awards, it's 'Best RPG' - still, getting nominated isn't nothing - some solid competition in all categories this year but I think Larian's going to sweep most/all of what they've been nominated for - and good on them - BG3 was unquestionably a labour of love for them.

Larian definitely been the best studio this year imo, those presentation shows they did were superb

I think Baldurs Gate 3 has to take it for me.

Its a close run thing between that and Starfield, whilst I preferred the setting and style of Starfield. The Gameplay and quality of BG3 really seals the deal.

 

[Sweey]

Baldur's Gate 3 easily for me.

 

[strumpusplunket]

Pleased this came up before I properly got stuck into BG3, as that means I can without clouded judgement nominate Lies of P, which really deserves more kudos, I think.

 

[Amatsubu]

RE4 Remake, easily.

Didn't need months of patching to work and offered a complete package of polished gameplay, great atmosphere and insane replayability with lots of unlockables.

Quite a few games I liked this year, Returnal PC, Dead Space Remake, Armored Core 6, Street Fighter 6 and EA WRC but I have to go with RE overall, even though some were great.

Haven't played either BG3 or Starfield and Hogwarts Legacy was rather pathetic in most regards except being an atmospheric Hogwarts tour.
EA WRC is a disgraceful technical mess that should have never been released like that so that automatically disqualifies it.

That's all I've played this year.

 

[something daft already!!]

Last of us on PC was about the best for me.

Starfield is the only game I've played this year that qualifies..... I ran out of steam with it around the 50hr mark.

Will be keen on this list for what games to pick up and play next year. BG3 and Hogwards are already on the list.

edit: correcting autocorrect to Starfield

I've only completed 4 games this year (the 3 tomb raiders and Alan Wake 2), so dont have a lot to go on, but I thought Alan Wake 2 was amazing and gets my vote.

 

[Terminal_Boy]

I’m guessing that the 2.0/2.1 releases for Cyberpunk 2077 aren’t counted as 2023 games, so my vote is for Aliens: Dark Descent.

Squad based shooter featuring Colonial Marines in the Aliens universe, what’s not to like?

 

[Zerolimitz]

Baldur's Gate 3 nothing even comes close.

 

[Noxia]

Was I supposed to write my choice and then something like "all day long" after it to try and give more weight to my choice among others?

 

[Neil79]

Baldur's Gate 3 easily for me.

 

[Chuk_Chuk]

Armoured Core VI.

 

[SpudMaster]

Street Fighter 6 for me, haven't really played any other new releases this year as they've mostly turned out to be a let down or buggy mess and then by the time they're fixed the want to play has worn off becuase I'm still playing Street Fighter

 

[Littlenose]

Nothing to note
I tend not to play games on release, preferring for them to "settle in", gain a few stability / bug fixes and also the price to drop. The only benefit from playing "on release" is riding the hype train, but being an oldie, the hype train passess me by without stopping these days

 

[Tombstone]

Stargate is the only game I've played this year that qualifies..... I ran out of steam with it around the 50hr mark.

Will be keen on this list for what games to pick up and play next year. BG3 and Hogwards are already on the list.

I didnt even know there was a Stargate game this year ! I must have missed that, 50 hours seems like a pretty good length too, what sort of game is it? I've always thought a Stargate RPG would be pretty cool, or an RTS for that matter


EDIT : Ahhh, I suspect you meant Starfield. Though having said that, searching Steam for Stargate came up with this https://store.steampowered.com/app/1523650/Stargate_Timekeepers/ , which does actually looks pretty promising ! So silver linings and all that

The Last of Us.

doh! I'm going to blame it on autocorrect.

but you are right...... a well done stargate game would be sweet!

 

[TNA]

Starfield.

May have been BG3 but not paying £50 for it. Once they drop the price to £35 I will buy it.

I did enjoy Resident Evil 4, but it is a remake after all. Got most pleasure from starfield in the end, even if I expected better.
