Some folks chose older games and remakes in 2023

“I missed Metroid Prime the first time around, so that was my GotY, I’ll be replaying it soon.” – Aneural

“I was late to the party, but it was definitely Elden Ring for me.” – Brizian

“The games that I picked up this year, that engrossed me the most were probably Satisfactory and Undermine.” – rogueIndy

“Surprisingly, I’m going to have to go with Sable. This game has the magic, it has the wonder, the minimal storytelling that keeps you wondering what happened here…and it’s very pretty to look at.” – Endere772

“Final Fantasy XI: The Voracious Resurgence ended this year so I’m counting it. I’ve been going on a multiyear FFXI story binge, and I’m surprised and glad that the story ended on such a fun note. The Destiny Destroyers are real, and they are my friends.” – glooga

“Hands down it was Star Ocean for me. New and nostalgic for the 16-bit era at the same time. It was just the Goldilocks of games, just right.” – IstillmissmyXJ

“Trails to Azure is #1 with a bullet (but I haven’t played Zelda yet).” – creid

“What I’ve been playing the most? Darktide. I can’t seem to stop playing it, and I don’t really know why.” – thetruegentleman

“I had never been a huge fan of survival horror-type games, but tried the remakes of Dead Space and RE4 and ended up loving both of them (after finishing RE4 and Separate Ways, I played the RE2 remake as well).” – maelstrom26
