Around the Network

In no particular order these are the titles I would have nominated for GOTY.

Baldur's Gate 3
Spiderman 2
Super Mario Wonder
Final Fantasy XVI
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Resident Evil 4 on quality deserves a spot but as it's a remake I wouldn't nominate it for a GOTY award.



  1. Tears of the Kingdom
  2. Hogwarts Legacy
  3. The Talos Principle II

Played Hi-Fi Rush as well but wasn't a huge fan.

Still want to play RE4 Remake, Pikmin 4, Spider-Man 2 and BG3 in roughly that order, but it'll probably be a while as I'll be focusing more on my backlog.

I haven't get around playing many video games from 2023, but it was semi-disappointing year for me when it comes to "heavy hitters". TotK was 6.5/10, BG3 was 7.5/10.
I don't have many hours in Asgard's Wrath 2, but that might just turn out to be best thing from 2023. I also enjoyed Dredge.
I have yet to play Chants of Sennaar, Cocoon, Dave the Diver, Jusant, System Shock remake, Lords of the Fallen reboot, Talos Principle 2 and Jagged Alliance 3, to name a few that caught my eye.



1. SpiderMan 2
2. Final Fantasy 16
3. Resident Evil 4 Remake
4. Sea of Stars
5. Dead Space Remake

Down the line I'm hoping to play Alan Wake 2, Baldur's Gate 3, Mortal Kombat, Octopath Traveler 2, One Piece Odyssey, the Cyberpunk DLC, and the HFW DLC. Humanity, Lego 2K Drive, and Tchia are great palette cleansers, and will find their way into my rotation as well. 



2023 was quite the incredible year despite the fact that I prolly would've wanted to finish a few more games but oh well here's my top 5 of games finished as it is.

1. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Future Redeemed
2. Octopath Traveler II
3. Super Mario Wonder
4. Master Detective Archives Rain Code
5. Super Mario RPG

Honorable mentions :
Zelda TOTK (which I haven't finished yet so I could not rank), Kirby Return to Dreamland Deluxe (Magolor Epilogue almost made me want to put it above 5th) and Red Matter(Great VR experience!)
