Because of its remarkable selection of games that cover a wide range of genres, we believe that 2023 will go down as the finest year in gaming history. Many of our favorite games, including Street Fighter, Final Fantasy, The Legend of Zelda, and even a brand-new 2D Super Mario Bros. game, had sequels that we got to enjoy. Sea of Stars, Dave the Diver, and Halls of Torment were among the other games released that year. Of course, millions of players were first exposed to the role-playing game genre with Baldur’s Gate 3.
We’re now anticipating 2024, which should be exciting from the start, especially if you enjoy role-playing games. As further release dates are revealed throughout the year, we’ll keep this list updated.
