    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

      It’s old now, but 2004 is another big year.

      • GTA San Andreas
      • Pokémon fire red/leaf green
      • halo 2
      • spider man 2
      • star wars battlefront
      • wow

      • half life 2
      • burnout 3
      • Sims 2
      • far cry
      • metal gear solid 3 snake eater
      • unreal tournament 2004
      • metroid prime 2 echoes
      • counter strike source
      • doom 3

    Baldur’s Gate 3 came out of nowhere and was all anyone could talk about for an entire month

    Excuse me, fucking what? “Came out of nowhere”? “Entire month”, huh? What are you talking about now?

    Oh, ok, I’ll leave you to it.

    Great games for sure, extremely happy. But, best year ever? I don’t think that exists. Afterall, Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst didn’t release again this year so it can’t be the best ever.
