From ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ to ‘Tears of the Kingdom’ to the same-day drop of ‘Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’ and ‘Super Mario Bros. Wonder,’ 2023 has been a fantastic year for gamers. But where does it stand historically in the GOAT gaming year debate?

    It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Remember for the first half of the year every new release competed with the last to be “the worst release of all time”. The second half of the year was spectacular though!

      This past year started the show with a show stopper when Hi-Fi Rush came out. Then things started popping off in spring.

          You’re thinking of High On Life, the FPS metroidvania from last year. Hi-Fi Rush is the cel shaded character action game where you’re essentially playing a Saturday morning cartoon version of Devil May Cry in time with music.

              Maybe in tone, but otherwise, I wouldn’t compare them. Check out some footage. It’s on Game Pass, and it’s on sale. I loved it and would recommend it.

          you could have just googled this–and the answer is no, you’re either accidentally making something up wholesale here or confusing this with High on Life, a completely unrelated game which was made by a studio he helped found but which he resigned from.
