Game of the Year 2023
Another year is almost gone. It's fine though I don't feel any older. Nope nope nope. Where was I? Oh right video games! Not the greatest year for the devs with layoffs across the board, but the games themselves were amazing and plentiful. Here's some of the ones I enjoyed the most which I actually got around to playing.
Good stuff from not this year:
- Streets of Rage 2X: An amazing fan game which blends SOR2, SOR3, and even some of the gameplay elements of SOR4. The mode where you can play as bosses is the icing on the cake.
- Halo Master Chief Collection: I clocked in over 500 hours on my steam timer this year. The campaigns are great gaming comfort food.
- Cannon Dancer – Osman: This insane Strider-like finally got a console release through arcade archives.
- Mystic Defender: Same as above except this one is a Sunset Riders like :)
Probably good or great, but I haven't gotten around to playing it yet:
- Dead Space (2023)
- Hi-Fi Rush
- The Last Case of Benedict Fox
- System Shock
- Baldur's Gate 3
- Marble It Up! Ultra
- Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
- Lies of P
- Final Fantasy 16
- Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged
- RoboCop: Rogue City
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
