As the year 2023 comes to a close, the gaming world has experienced a surge in new projects and game releases, setting numerous records. While some projects, such as Forspoken and The Day Before, faced failure or swift removal shortly after launch, there have been standout titles that garnered almost perfect scores. This article highlights three exceptional games that have dominated the gaming landscape in 2023.
1. Baldur’s Gate 3 and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (96 Points)
Topping the charts with an impressive score of 96 points each are Baldur’s Gate 3 and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. These two titles stand out as the most remarkable and high-quality projects of the year. Baldur’s Gate 3, especially, has secured its success with a notable victory at The Game Awards 2023. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, being part of the renowned Legend of Zelda series, naturally commands attention and maintains high-quality standards. Therefore, these leading positions have almost become a given for these outstanding games.
2. Asgard’s Wrath 2 (93 Points)
Surprisingly securing the third position on the list is Asgard’s Wrath 2, a virtual reality (VR) game, instead of other anticipated blockbuster titles. Even more surprising is that Asgard’s Wrath 2, as a VR game, successfully incorporates all the elements expected from a virtual reality experience. Furthermore, the game’s narrative connects with its predecessor, involving the protagonist countering Loki’s betrayal and seizing control of Asgard’s Wrath. With a captivating storyline and visually appealing combat style, Asgard’s Wrath 2 rightfully earns its success, receiving an average score of 93.
3. Against the Storm (92 Points)
Closing the list, Against the Storm takes the fourth position, defying expectations set by popular titles like Super Mario Bros. Wonder or Resident Evil 4. Rather than following the current trends of combat, role-playing, or open-world games, Against the Storm is a straightforward city-building game. Besides, the narrative begins with a devastating storm destroying the last remnants of the world, and as the governor of the Queen’s City, your task is to rebuild. Despite being a departure from prevailing trends, Against the Storm earns an impressive score of 92, leaving many puzzled about its position as the fourth-best game of the year.
