2023 is the best year for gaming in two decades – check out the 20 best years so far

There’s no doubt that 2023 is a great year for gaming. For example, games like Alan Wake 2, Spider-Man 2, Super Mario Bros Wonder, and Forza Motorsport were released in October alone, while September was also full of releases thanks to Starfield, Mortal Kombat 1, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, Lies of Faction, etc. As if all this wasn’t enough, the year started with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Resident Evil 4, Dead Space, and Hi-Fi Rush, while the year also saw several blockbuster releases such as Hogwarts Legacy and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. In fact, we’re still waiting for other huge IPs, like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.

Yes, the year we are going through has games…chaosThis was also confirmed by a new statistical study. In particular, medium Axios I did some very interesting research and revealed how 2023 is the best year for gaming in two decades!

Specifically, it includes the review aggregation platform Metacritic’s database 25 games released in 2023 with a score of over 90, the most since 2004. Of course, this collection also includes ports of different titles, such as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition, which is a new release this year on Xbox Series 2023 was so good that it beat 2018 by a wide margin, while in the past decade, games with scores above 90 haven’t averaged even half that.

Of course, the planets had to align somehow for this to happen, as many of the games we’ve been waiting for for years finally arrived and got multiple releases this year. Anyway, below you can find a list of 20 new and exclusive games of 2023 (no ports), which received the highest scores on Metacritic.
