1. Marvel's Spider-Man 2
2. Super Mario Bros. Wonder
3. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
4. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
5. Persona 5 Tactica

Super Mario RPG would've probably made the cut but I started it in December and I'm only midway through right now so I can't fairly judge it.

It's hard because I didn't really play games released in 2023. Can only think of Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, Cocoon, Persona 5 Tactica and Gal Guardians Demon Purge. And that makes top 4. All other games I completed are either late Xbox ports or remasters which doesn't count for 2023

I’ve been thinking about my top 5 for a few days now and honestly, even tho I could do a top 5 I don’t think I played 5 games that deserve it. Phantom Liberty is my de facto number 1 tho and if I had played it more last year (I started it on the 31st of December) FFXVI would be number 2.

I don't think I've played more than three 2023 games in 2023, so I'll just rank those three:

Cities: Skylines 2
Assassin's Creed: Mirage
Starfield

...Aand I just checked, and I guess Farthest Frontier kind of counts too, but it's Early Access since I think 2022, so perhaps not... And I'm not sure I want to rank it anyway since it doesn't have a clear place and it's not done yet. As for games released before 2023 that I only got around to playing in 2023, Wolfenstein: The Old Blood is probably the only one worth mentioning in such a good light, but I'd probably rank it lower than any of the 2023 games I listed anyway. All of the games I've mentioned are fun though, although all of them also have their flaws.
