Calling 2023 the best year ever in gaming is a real overreach. It hasn't been as bad as the last couple years, but its hardly that standout, and the last couple years aren't exactly a high-bar.

I mean, what notable new games came out?

  • Hi-Fi Rush
  • LoZ: Tears of the Kingdom
  • Baldur's Gate 3
  • Spider Man 2
  • Super Mario Bros. Wonder
  • Street Fighter 6
  • Dave the Diver
  • Starfield

All solid games, but its not a long list, and other than maybe Baldurs Gate 3, none really stand out when compared to every game ever released.

Pulling a random year, lets say 2011, because its when Minecraft released, you have:

  • Minecraft
  • Portal 2
  • Skyrim
  • Dark Souls
  • Batman: Arkham City
  • Mass Effect 2
  • LittleBigPlanet 2
  • Uncharted 3
  • Gears or War 3
  • Deus Ex: Human Revolution
  • Limbo
  • Dead Space 2
  • Total War: Shogan 2
  • The Witcher 2
  • Red Orchestra 2
