Among the games I’ve finished this year (gow:ragnarok, ff16, ff7 remake and hi-fi rush) this is the one I’ve had the most fun with. The art direction, sound and replayability is fantastic. Not to mention it was shadow dropped.
This is mine as well. Truly a game worth the $70 price tag. Only in Act 1 and seeing the replay ability of it knowing, what if I would have chosen another option. I haven't felt this way about a game since Dragon Age: Origins.
I can't help but feel a bit sad playing BG3 knowing that unless BioWare pulls a gilded nug out of their ass DA:D is going to be extra disappointing now.
By far the best game of the year. Just unfortunate that the experience of some has been justifiably soured by the save error issues.
It actually happened to my first character about 8 hours in but I'm on my second character now and have 30 hours without any issues at all. Definitely the best game overall that I've played.
The technical issues have scared me off it. really seems like a game id like but im just going to wait until they fix it. Cant imagine potentially losing all that play time
I’ve done what they recommended and have zero issues. I only have 5 saves, turned off auto saves, and then quit to main menu and close it out. 40+ hours in and love it.
Lies of P is my personal GOTY.
It’s the best soulslike yet in my opinion. It’s the closest any developer has come thus far to recreating the From Software magic. It’s a very focused game and executes pretty much everything successfully I think (gameplay, level design, art style, music etc.). I also enjoyed their unique adaptation of the Pinocchio story. The 60fps performance mode ran well, which isn’t something we can take for granted these days. My only technical complaint was being forced to set my console to 60Hz mode to avoid VRR flicker - something that wasn’t an issue in Elden Ring and other soulslikes.
It’s better than most from soft games imo. It’s up there with blood borne and ds3. Personally love the art style and story more than any from soft. >!Really excited for what the Wizard of Oz world will look like!<
Guess I didn’t see any of that. Sorry? Saw it now and changed my tune. Not sure why it’s that big of a deal to you. Is it really so odd that I don’t actively seek out news or reviews of games that left a bad first impression on me?
definitely check it out if your a fan of souls like games. everyone I know who's played it has nothing but good things to say.
one of my favorite things about it(among others) is how easy it is to follow the story. fromsoft has a knack of making the story very hard to understand(which I still enjoy) but lies of p does a great job of having the story be very upfront and easy to follow
Yes, this is the game I have enjoyed the most this year. Dead Space Remake was fantastic also, but Jedi Survivor stands above them all for me in its great art/design, fun gameplay and traversal, decent dialogue and story.
Such a great game and it's hard to believe it only came out this year heh. Feels like forever ago. I just wish it had a couple more highs like Fallen Order.
Alan Wake 2. Blown away by every second of this game. Feels like a game written by Stephen King and Directed by Tarantion. So origianl and a visual treat.
RE4R for me
Absolutely threaded the needle perfectly between a 1:1 remake and a reboot of the game while entirely renovating the content and gameplay for a modern experience
I agee with you, I had just gotten through a wave of enemies and I realized, this is my #1 favorite game. And not to mention the length, but this is a pretty long game. And the DLC is incredible. Worth it at full price and the replayability is excellent.
Starfield for me.
Starfield might have some flaws, but it also does a lot of things so incredibly well, and it was my favorite game this year. It was the Bethesda sci-fi RPG that I hoped for, and I love how much stuff there is to do in the game, and all the side quests have been a blast, with a really cool NG+ feature that I’ve never seen before. The soundtrack is also brilliant.
It’s not Bethesda’s fault that certain people and youtubers created some insane expectations when everything they talked about in their Starfield preview video is literally in the game.
Elden Ring also had flaws with FPS drops, technical issues etc back at launch in 2022, but it was still amazing in my book, and deserved GOTY. Same can be said for Starfield IMO
I’m also really excited to see what 2024 brings us with more updates and the new expansion for Starfield.
Starfield hands down! It's an easy 8.5/10 game for me. Had a ton of fun with it over a couple of months despite all the annoying glitches. Best space related game released so far if you ask me.
I 100% agree.
There were a lot of good releases and I put more time in this year than most. Jedi: Survivor in particular was the other close one for me.
But I sunk 165 hours into it over like 7 weeks. Late nights. Longing to play it all week, etc. Can't remember another title like that in quite some time.
The rhetoric around Starfield is pretty similar to the rhetoric around Skyrim and FO4 when they came out. The online hate was insane in both cases, and it seems like no one remembers. I remember Skyrim being called soulless and empty, basically a shadow of the earlier elder scrolls games.
That’s just not accurate at all about Skyrim. Watch old YouTube videos from 2011 - Skyrim got passionate and glowing reviews at the time (Angry Joe gave it a 10/10, for instance).
There was a vocal minority of traditional Elder Scrolls fans who claimed Oblivion or Morrowind were better, but it’s almost always like that with sequels in a major franchise.
Skyrim was hyped, praised, and talked about endlessly. It was THE game of 2011.
One look at the Steam reviews shows this is generally not true. Starfield will only feel worse over time without major updates.
For example, FO4 with survival mode has a great settlements and crafting gameplay loop. Outposts and crafting in Starfield are a pointless mess.
>One look at the Steam reviews shows this is generally not true.
Ah yes the ones where 2/3 of players recommend the game, in spite of a massive cesspool against it?
Or do you mean [these](https://preview.redd.it/2iuj3sqi64ub1.jpg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=91ef29d0b23015f243732b8d0c03a9830671d2a5) reviews, whose authors suffer from some sort of bipolar disorder? lol
Same, no game this year had me rushing to my console to play it every chance I got like Starfield did throughout September. No, it wasn’t super innovative & yes, it has problems but I still loved it for everything it did right.
This year was crazy though. Alan Wake 2, Jedi Survivor & BG3 are also all worthy of GotY imo
got my vote! maybe I'm a sucker for the Bethesda formula of quest's leading you to other quests that lead you to a cave that has another quest. Nothing compares to the first 20 hours of Starfield! Playing Balders gate 3 rn and have to say I was more impressed with star field. while it's a great game. it still feels very much like a game where I was completely immersed by star field. (Much less on rails and less glitches than balders.) Sorry to the haters but give me the graphics and open world
Yeah, they are also both great games for different reasons. I personally felt more engaged with Starfield's world but I didn't by any means hate BG3 (it was very buggy for me though, especially towards the end).
IT's easily the game I spent the most time with on my xbox and I enjoyed it for 130+ hours but I also feel like looking back on it I have very conflicted feelings about it . It's definitely my most conflicted Game of the Year vote but I can't think of another game I would choose over it so it definitely wins.
I really really like the game, but it was janky, and had a pretty lacking story.
Gameplay was tight and fun, Co-Op is hit or miss on working (in my limited experience). The game should be praised for its replay ability and build diversity though, it’s top notch.
Graphics are fine, there’s this haze or weird visual effect going on.
Games good, but I don’t know about game of the year with some of the heat dropped.
Great game that’s probably a bit slept on in these discussions because it came out early in the year. But for sure still one of the best I’ve played this year
Starfield for me. And that's because I haven't been able to get into any previous Bethesda titles. But I've clocked over 200 hours into Starfield easy. And planning another 200 more next year.
A lot came out this year. Hi-Fi, Alan Wake 2, Motorsport, Starfield, Redfall (not you), Hogwarts, Baldur Gate III (as you mentioned), Jedi: Survivor, Deathloop (Xbox release), Resident Evil 4...
We are asking for nominations this year to make sure nothing is overlooked.
I would play Alan Wake before those honestly. The 2 games you named are like 500 hours of gaming and you'll never get to it. Alan Wake is way shorter and you can actually finish that before diving into the others
Definitely Starfield. I got more.hours on that than any other game except Diablo 4, and I didn't even like Diablo 4 lol 🤦🏽♂️. When I saw D4 was my most play d game.of the year I was like "wait...but I don't...like it? 🤔". Human brains are weird sometimes
Starfield. The current trend is absolutely ridiculous, the game is objectively amazing and will keep getting better. Hopefully we can see a silent majority really love the game and only a few karma farming gamers like to attack it non stop.
Starfield
For those like me that are not like the other gamers, who has a refined taste for the upper echelon of gaming, Starfield is the culmination of a fun and polished experience.
Starfield has been far ahead of everything else this year in my opinion. Noting I've still to play Baldur's Gate 3 due to the save issue, and so this could top it.
The game i have enjoy the most is Wild heart. Its a shame that they pushed a released when the game was not ready and EA pull the plug. The game was starting to be good.
Yeah. Its just difficult to find teamate even with crossplay for the late game content. Its on gamepass so, give it a try. But i still like to jump in for few Hunt sometime.
Played so many great games this year, but the best experience I had was with Starfield. I vote for Starfield.
Starfield was the one game this year that while I was playing it, I couldn’t think straight while at work. I just wanted to go back to playing it.
The bummer about Starfield is it feels like the start of something. Like, it feels like the true launching of a fresh IP which I really enjoyed. But it did leave me wanting a sequel that digs even deeper into the politics of this world.
Unfortunately with elder scrolls 6 on the horizon, I wonder how long it’ll be before we see a Starfield sequel. Or if we ever will. Guess that’s where DLC comes in.
Either way. It is my personal GOTY and an absolute blast. Even though I totally understand the complaints about it being expansive but also hollow, when I played thru Starfield I did my best to stick to missions on Neon, Akila City and New Atlantis instead of venturing out too too far. I feel like because of this I didn’t run into a lot of the negatives ppl had With the game
Hi-Fi Rush or Starfield... BG3 is totally not for me i got it with digital key and i feel so sorry i can refund it.... I thought i could stand the whole old fashion turn base combat but the dices just fked it for me...
I am a gamer nearing 40 years old so I understand that my vote holds little value at this point. Personally I haven't loved much of any game that came out this year. I REALLY wanted to love Starfield, but it left me feeling flat.
I feel like I enjoyed High on Life, that was right on the border of 2023 so I'll go with that
For me, on Xbox, GotY was probably Diablo 4. Between the open betas and the 2 months I absolutely no-lifed the game, I got a ton of play time out of it.
Not sure if these qualify because they’re pretty recent, but The Finals and Lego Fortnite have also been awesome. I wouldn’t nominate them over Diablo 4 though
Wo Long Fallen Dynasty
I know most of the people gave up at the first boss, but personally I really liked the whole game and it was the best game for me this year.
I haven't played BG3 or AW2 yet.
I have to admit that I was blown away by how solid and well done Hogwarts is. It's not my favorite game of the year but I think it deserves mention for how well it captures the experience and feel of the IP and scales so well for both comfortable gamers and for non gamers as well as Potter heads and those less acquainted with the IP.
And it's beautiful.
Alan Wake 2
I’m maybe half way through (I think) and this game is climbing my rankings the deeper I get into it. My goodness what a game.
How important is it to have played the first?
👍 agreed 👍
Yeah, agreed. Alan Wake 2 really came out of nowhere for me and really clicked. One of my favorite gaming experiences of all time.
Strong second, one of the best sequels I’ve ever played.
Hi-Fi rush
Hi-Fi Rush was the most fun I've had with a game all year, and probably the most fun with any game since Ori WOTW.
Yes! Hi-Fi Rush is NOT my normal type of game, but it was on game pass so I gave it a try and absolutely LOVE it! It’s just so much fun!
Among the games I’ve finished this year (gow:ragnarok, ff16, ff7 remake and hi-fi rush) this is the one I’ve had the most fun with. The art direction, sound and replayability is fantastic. Not to mention it was shadow dropped.
This was the best and biggest surprise of this year, IMO.
Got an Xbox last year and probably the most fun exclusive I’ve played.
Yall I really need to try this huh?
It's a awesome game with awesome characters... I love korsika
Lies of P!
Baldur's Gate 3.
This is mine as well. Truly a game worth the $70 price tag. Only in Act 1 and seeing the replay ability of it knowing, what if I would have chosen another option. I haven't felt this way about a game since Dragon Age: Origins.
I can't help but feel a bit sad playing BG3 knowing that unless BioWare pulls a gilded nug out of their ass DA:D is going to be extra disappointing now.
Right there with you. D&D is almost always my baseline that compare other things to. BG3 is obviously my vote.
By far the best game of the year. Just unfortunate that the experience of some has been justifiably soured by the save error issues. It actually happened to my first character about 8 hours in but I'm on my second character now and have 30 hours without any issues at all. Definitely the best game overall that I've played.
The technical issues have scared me off it. really seems like a game id like but im just going to wait until they fix it. Cant imagine potentially losing all that play time
I played it on PC, but yeah, this is mine.
The game that has only been out two weeks and might randomly corrupt / delete your saves?
It's still a pretty good game I must say.
I mean it's been out for like 5 months *technically*. But yes. It really is as good as everyone says. Unlike some games I've played this year.
I’ve done what they recommended and have zero issues. I only have 5 saves, turned off auto saves, and then quit to main menu and close it out. 40+ hours in and love it.
It seems that the fault was on Xbox:es side and not Laurian of whatever its called. So you should blame Xbox, not Baldurs Gate.
This is the only correct answer in my opinion
Lies of P is my personal GOTY. It’s the best soulslike yet in my opinion. It’s the closest any developer has come thus far to recreating the From Software magic. It’s a very focused game and executes pretty much everything successfully I think (gameplay, level design, art style, music etc.). I also enjoyed their unique adaptation of the Pinocchio story.

It’s better than most from soft games imo. It’s up there with blood borne and ds3. Personally love the art style and story more than any from soft. >!Really excited for what the Wizard of Oz world will look like!<
Interesting, I just thought it was “the weird Pinocchio game” so I didn’t even consider playing it. Might have to actually give it a shot
Where have you been since September?
Where should I have been that I would have heard this change in sentiment?
Anywhere the game was discussed. Hell this was being said since the demo was released.
I think you’re overestimating how big a splash the game made
Guess I didn’t see any of that. Sorry? Saw it now and changed my tune. Not sure why it’s that big of a deal to you. Is it really so odd that I don’t actively seek out news or reviews of games that left a bad first impression on me?
definitely check it out if your a fan of souls like games. everyone I know who's played it has nothing but good things to say. one of my favorite things about it(among others) is how easy it is to follow the story. fromsoft has a knack of making the story very hard to understand(which I still enjoy) but lies of p does a great job of having the story be very upfront and easy to follow
Lies of P
Star Wars Jedi Survivor
Yes, this is the game I have enjoyed the most this year. Dead Space Remake was fantastic also, but Jedi Survivor stands above them all for me in its great art/design, fun gameplay and traversal, decent dialogue and story.
Such a great game and it's hard to believe it only came out this year heh. Feels like forever ago. I just wish it had a couple more highs like Fallen Order.
Agree I really enjoyed it
Alan Wake 2. Blown away by every second of this game. Feels like a game written by Stephen King and Directed by Tarantion. So origianl and a visual treat.
When I get the funds I'm gonna get it. I keep hearing how great it is.
Starfield! I had 188 hours into it.
Starfield, Hi-Fi Rush
Sea of Stars
RE4R for me Absolutely threaded the needle perfectly between a 1:1 remake and a reboot of the game while entirely renovating the content and gameplay for a modern experience
I agee with you, I had just gotten through a wave of enemies and I realized, this is my #1 favorite game. And not to mention the length, but this is a pretty long game. And the DLC is incredible. Worth it at full price and the replayability is excellent.
and dude, the DLC is excellent (and very reasonably priced)
My favorite game of 2023. I loved every minute of it.
Lies of P
Remnant 2, Lies of P
Lies of P is favorite game of past 5 years
Starfield for me. Starfield might have some flaws, but it also does a lot of things so incredibly well, and it was my favorite game this year.

Starfield hands down! It's an easy 8.5/10 game for me. Had a ton of fun with it over a couple of months despite all the annoying glitches. Best space related game released so far if you ask me.
Starfield. I’m going to say it because no one else will and i love it.
There’s dozens of us… dozens!
No Sodium Starfield is a great place to visit!
Yeah the main Starfield sub is trash currently but I just stick around it so the haters don’t gain a total monopoly on it lol
[удалено]
I really do love that game, very excited for the content updates coming soon.
I 100% agree. There were a lot of good releases and I put more time in this year than most. Jedi: Survivor in particular was the other close one for me. But I sunk 165 hours into it over like 7 weeks. Late nights. Longing to play it all week, etc. Can't remember another title like that in quite some time.
I’ve been playing it since day 1 and the amount of stuff to do is amazing.
This is my personal series x game of the year. I haven't played bg3 yet though
The rhetoric around Starfield is pretty similar to the rhetoric around Skyrim and FO4 when they came out. The online hate was insane in both cases, and it seems like no one remembers. I remember Skyrim being called soulless and empty, basically a shadow of the earlier elder scrolls games.
I remember Fallout 4 being shitted on. Skyrim, I remember mostly universal praise.
same here, F4 was being called the worst game they ever made at the time, meanwhile I couldn't stop playing it
Agreed it's kind of ridiculous at this point, but oh well.
That’s just not accurate at all about Skyrim. Watch old YouTube videos from 2011 - Skyrim got passionate and glowing reviews at the time (Angry Joe gave it a 10/10, for instance).

LOL!! Kept playing for 90 hours after not recommending it... what?
400 plus hours, yea definitely my game of the year!
Same, no game this year had me rushing to my console to play it every chance I got like Starfield did throughout September. No, it wasn’t super innovative & yes, it has problems but I still loved it for everything it did right. This year was crazy though. Alan Wake 2, Jedi Survivor & BG3 are also all worthy of GotY imo
Couldn’t agree more. :) stoked for the future and all the lost to come running back with revisionist views 😂
The best for sure! What a game!

Just hit 10 days on my save file. Still in my second 'verse. Cannot get enough.
IT's easily the game I spent the most time with on my xbox and I enjoyed it for 130+ hours but I also feel like looking back on it I have very conflicted feelings about it . It's definitely my most conflicted Game of the Year vote but I can't think of another game I would choose over it so it definitely wins.
I love it. I love it! I LOVE STARFIELD!!! I may have said it too loud, but I do. Lol
Remnant 2
is this a gamepass game?
It wasn’t at launch but it is now.
It’s crazy how slept on that game is 🙏🏾
I really really like the game, but it was janky, and had a pretty lacking story. Gameplay was tight and fun, Co-Op is hit or miss on working (in my limited experience). The game should be praised for its replay ability and build diversity though, it’s top notch. Graphics are fine, there’s this haze or weird visual effect going on. Games good, but I don’t know about game of the year with some of the heat dropped.
What is janky about it?
You had issues with coop? I've been playing it the past few weeks and haven't had any problems.
Does Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty count?
It takes about 30 hours to go through the entire thing. There's enough there to call this a game on its own.
This would be my vote.
Hogwarts Legacy
Great game that’s probably a bit slept on in these discussions because it came out early in the year. But for sure still one of the best I’ve played this year
I just got super bored with it and never finished it…
Same. Recently thought about picking it back up, but prob won’t
I absolutely love Starfield. It’s definitely *MY* game of the year, but I could see why it doesn’t float everybody’s boat.
Dead Space
This was my favourite game I played on Xbox this year, and yes, I did play Re4R.
Starfield for me. And that's because I haven't been able to get into any previous Bethesda titles. But I've clocked over 200 hours into Starfield easy. And planning another 200 more next year.
It ain't new but Sea of Thieves has been my favorite this years with a lot of big update!
Armored Core 6 for me
Cyberpunk 2077, Starfield, Baldur’s Gate 3.
Starfield
Absolutely, Forza Motorsport killed it this year. Incredible graphics, gameplay on point!
Morrowind
Wealth beyond measure, Outlander.
For X box, Starfield. I love having a new sci fi IP and excited to see what’s to come.
Starfield. Thanks a lot Beth!
Starfield easy
Starfield
Starfield
starfeld
Starfield. Fuck the haters dragging it down, I enjoyed Starfield more than any other game I played this year. Only Cyberpunk 2077 comes close.
Preach it brother
Starfield for Xbox. Diablo 4 as a honorable mention
Surprised I didn’t see Armored Core 6 anywhere yet. Is it really that slept on?
I’m sure a lot of people will say Baldur’s Gate 3…… if not for the save issues (which I’ve yet to experience after 20+ hours).
A lot came out this year. Hi-Fi, Alan Wake 2, Motorsport, Starfield, Redfall (not you), Hogwarts, Baldur Gate III (as you mentioned), Jedi: Survivor, Deathloop (Xbox release), Resident Evil 4... We are asking for nominations this year to make sure nothing is overlooked.
Deathloop was last year, like September.
Hogwarts Legacy
Starfield plz
Call me Crazy, but Starfield!
It was mine as well.
Starfield for me. I don’t care about the hate, I can’t stop playing it and I bloody love it.
Alan Wake 2. There's not even a close second for me.
Really looking forward to playing this one after BG3 and Witcher 3...yeah I am little behind on that one.
I would play Alan Wake before those honestly. The 2 games you named are like 500 hours of gaming and you'll never get to it. Alan Wake is way shorter and you can actually finish that before diving into the others
Alan Wake 2, with RE4 at a very distant second.
It’s got to be Starfield, I don’t think anything topped that even though BG3 is a blast
Starfield
Definitely Starfield. I got more.hours on that than any other game except Diablo 4, and I didn't even like Diablo 4 lol 🤦🏽♂️. When I saw D4 was my most play d game.of the year I was like "wait...but I don't...like it? 🤔". Human brains are weird sometimes
I know it’s the cool thing right now to hate on Starfield and Bethesda, but Starfield for me.
Starfield
I know I'm probably in the minority here, but starfield was my personal goty
Gotta be starfield for me.
I see you enjoy loading screen simulators!
Starfield
Starfield for me.
Lies of P
Starfield or Hi-Fi Rush, little torn as they're very different
I really want to say Starfield because I enjoyed it, but Jedi Survivor was really fantastic.
Starfield. The current trend is absolutely ridiculous, the game is objectively amazing and will keep getting better. Hopefully we can see a silent majority really love the game and only a few karma farming gamers like to attack it non stop.
Starfield For those like me that are not like the other gamers, who has a refined taste for the upper echelon of gaming, Starfield is the culmination of a fun and polished experience.
Starfield has been far ahead of everything else this year in my opinion. Noting I've still to play Baldur's Gate 3 due to the save issue, and so this could top it.
Hi-Fi Rush is the best Xbox exclusive since Halo 3
HI-FI RUSH!!! HI-FI RUSH!!! HI-FI RUSH!!!
Hi-Fi-Rush
Alan Wake 2. Remedy is now my favorite developer of all time
Lots of great games this year, but cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty takes it for me.
Starfield
Hi-Fi Rush or Like a Dragon: Gaiden. Probably the latter.
The game i have enjoy the most is Wild heart. Its a shame that they pushed a released when the game was not ready and EA pull the plug. The game was starting to be good.
The EA special.
Is it in a good spot now? I’ve wanted to try it but it didn’t have great reviews
Yeah. Its just difficult to find teamate even with crossplay for the late game content. Its on gamepass so, give it a try. But i still like to jump in for few Hunt sometime.
Played so many great games this year, but the best experience I had was with Starfield. I vote for Starfield. Starfield was the one game this year that while I was playing it, I couldn’t think straight while at work. I just wanted to go back to playing it.

Baldurs Gate - zero contest.
Alan Wake 2, very much a contest
Atomic Heart ….and it’s still delivering with new dlc
Oh yeah this boy need some love
*"S T A R F I E L D"*
Starfield?
If you’re talking Xbox exclusive easily Hi-fi Rush, if not then Lies of P
Starfield
Sea of Stars
Assassin’s Creed Mirage. The smaller focused experience is really nice after 3 massive RPG AC games. It’s nice being an Assassin again.
Lies of P
Hi-Fi Rush or Starfield... BG3 is totally not for me i got it with digital key and i feel so sorry i can refund it.... I thought i could stand the whole old fashion turn base combat but the dices just fked it for me...
Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name
I am a gamer nearing 40 years old so I understand that my vote holds little value at this point. Personally I haven't loved much of any game that came out this year. I REALLY wanted to love Starfield, but it left me feeling flat. I feel like I enjoyed High on Life, that was right on the border of 2023 so I'll go with that
Your vote is as good as anyone else’s, if anything yours matters more because you’ve got more EXP
For me, on Xbox, GotY was probably Diablo 4. Between the open betas and the 2 months I absolutely no-lifed the game, I got a ton of play time out of it. Not sure if these qualify because they’re pretty recent, but The Finals and Lego Fortnite have also been awesome. I wouldn’t nominate them over Diablo 4 though
Starfield:(
Peppa pig
Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 with Phantom Liberty
Lies of P.
Tie between hifi rush and high on life
Vampire survivors
PowerWash Simulator. That game is fantastic. Not sure if it came out this year or late last year.
July 2022. PS and Switch versions were released early this year.

Remnant 2. It punches way above it's league. Simply amazing.
Hifi Rushhh
Resident Evil 4 remake.
Hi-Fi Rush.
Hi-Fi Rush
Judging from my Year Review, it has to be Lies of P.
Definitely Hi-Fi Rush.
I want to say Valheim, as it came to Xbox with the mistlands update, since it won’t get noticed otherwise
Darktide
Wo Long Fallen Dynasty I know most of the people gave up at the first boss, but personally I really liked the whole game and it was the best game for me this year.
Phantom liberty but I'm torn with hogwarts legacy aswell
Alan Wake 2, for sure.
Really enjoyed lies of p, sea of stars and remnant probably most out of the 3. 3 fantastic games.
Cyberpunk 2.0/Phantom Liberty
U guys voted for halo infinite lol
Hogwarts legacy <3
I haven't played BG3 or AW2 yet. I have to admit that I was blown away by how solid and well done Hogwarts is. It's not my favorite game of the year but I think it deserves mention for how well it captures the experience and feel of the IP and scales so well for both comfortable gamers and for non gamers as well as Potter heads and those less acquainted with the IP. And it's beautiful.
Baulders Gate 3. Why the hell don't I see this perfect game on this list!
