    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
