2023 In Games
It's that time once again! Time to look back at all the games I played in the previous year, and reflect on my life choices. Well, I mean, it is 2023 we're talking about. That's the best year for video games ever! Tears of the Kingdom! Baldur's Gate 3! Alan Wake 2! A year so packed full of amazing sequels has to be special right? Nah, fam. 2023 was not for me. I have been reeling in the latter season of the year trying to come to terms with why this year just did not land for me. And when I look at what I played compared to previous years, (heck, even just compared to 2022!), it's clear the issue is that I did not discover enough new to play. Everything this year felt like retreading covered ground, and of the games I played that were truly new, only a couple stood out. It was the year of the Sequel! The Remake! The RPG! The Oh God I've Played This Game For 200 Hours And Still Haven't Beaten It! ~ sigh~ ...
