It’s been a damn good summer for fighting games too, and arguably the best year for all of video games. I’ve still got probably 10 hours to go in Baldur’s Gate 3, haven’t touched Starfield or Phantom Liberty yet, and I’m also looking forward to Broken Roads. There’s not enough time to get to all this good stuff, and there’s still Wargroove 2 coming in a week and a half.

That is a very bold claim.

1998, 2004, 2007, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017…I think 2023’s got all of them beat.

1998 was such a monster year because it spawned so many big franchises, including two that were arguably the genesis of e-sports. It’ll be a while before we know how 2023 measures up in that regard, although there’s not much new stuff this year that might have legs. Hi-Fi Rush and Starfield, maybe?
I’ve been thinking for a while that this is probably already the best year since 1998 though.

2010 is my favorite. the beatles rock band and rock band 3 came out the same year. one being a nearly perfect game and the other being my most played game ever by far (unofficially, 360 does not track days played)

broken roads looks pretty cool, thanks for the mention

It was also mentioned in the article, but I heard about it from SkillUp.
