2023 is spoiling gamers

[Jumpin]

And this year (well, really the 6 years) has been good for those like me who prefer creatively fresh games, retro, and RPGs. This year (hopefully) is Suikoden 1 and 2 Remaster year. There’s also Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters that came out earlier in the year. Tears of the Kingdom is probably the best game since Breath of the Wild. Breath of the Wild was a benchmark title both critically and commercially, the first in the Zelda franchise since the original game. Tears of the Kingdom is in range of Breath of the Wild critically, and hot on its heels commercially. Breath of the Wild’s commercial success can’t be understated because of all the games that have surpassed the 30 million mark for a single platform, it’s the only one in the critical top tier. The rest of them are well regarded, getting lots of 8 and 9 scores, but not getting mainly 10/10 review scores like Breath of the Wild. Grand Theft Auto 5 has high sales, though these are not on just one console, they’re spread across 6 different console platforms and multiple generations of other platforms (such as Windows) - only about 20 million sold on PS4 (according to statista.com).

But, to the topic, still holding out for the Suikoden games that were announced a long time ago, and are now annoyingly late.
