What is Game of the Year for you? 2023 has been wild, and I’ve thought “this is the best game of the year” multiple times, but I’m playing Alan Wake II right now and I think it might dethrone Zelda and Spider-Man. It’s so trippy. Unlike anything I’ve ever played.

I have not played Alan's wake, but I think that Baldurs Gate 3 is the game of the year.

I’m interested and have it on my PS5. The radial menus are a bit of a turn-off, but I’ll get back to it when we’re back in a gaming dry spell. Heavy competition all around this year.

like

BG3 for me. That game ruined me so much for everything else that I blasted through spider-man 2 and felt nothing. Nothing. And I played the first instalment like 3 times. Bg3 is like having the best s*x of your life and then having to sleep with a virgin.

like

Cyberpunks dlc. But since that cant win I would say Tears of the Kingdom.

Haven’t played it yet but Baldurs Gate 3 is prolly gonna end up being the winner.

This has arguably been the greatest year of gaming in history. Would have to go back to the 360/PS3 days for anything that would come close to comparable.

Tbh baldur's gate was too overwhelming for me (and I love rpg's and D&D too!)

I'd say armored core 6 takes goty for me. One of my favorite games in a very long time. Perfectly executed arcade style game with modern polish and a very well balanced build system (after a few patches)

If you find open world and sprawling AAA titles overwhelming, this is a nice game that takes things back to basics and adds all the bells and whistles that modern technology can apply to the formula. I was pleasantly surprised by it.

BG3. Pretty clear. :)

like

Yes, I have in PS5 too and the radial menu is not the best, but is the only way to have all that options with a controller, I suppose is more easy to play in PC with keyboard and mouse. But once you accept the radial menu, the game is insane, the history, all the posible ramifications and consequences of your choices and actions makes every run different, I was playing at the same time with 2 friends and with only 5 hours of gaming we have already taken different paths lol.

A lot of decent and even good games but nothing deserves GOTY.

I’m sure BD3 will win but since I’m on Xbox and haven’t had a chance to play it have to go with Diablo 4

I think it’s a toss up between Baldurs Gate 3 and Tears of the Kingdom for the best game of the year. But not gonna lie nothing this year grabbed me as hard as Spiderman 2 did for like a week

Weekly Hot take. Accessibility=/= easy mode. I know it would take alot more time and resources to develop but more games sould come with accessibility features like color blind mode and maybe a bullet time for jumps. I am not a person with disabilities but i believe Celeste did a pretty good job at adding some of these features. I know it's hard to account for every type of disability but we can at least start with the most common ones.
