There are very few games I would be ok with TotK losing to but BG3 is one. Even if it wasn’t my personal preference it’s such a stunning achievement

Speaking as someone who prior to a few months ago had no experience with CRPGs or DnD, and also someone who's a big time lifelong Zelda mark

they're both real good and I'm not going to be shocked or upset at either result.

Yes it's the same (mostly) map, and (mostly) the same characters, and pretty much exactly (maybe?) the same villain, so you'd think this would just be more of the same. It is. But it's more than that too.

Compelled me to keep playing even after beating the final boss, there's lots to experiment and have fun with here.

I almost didn’t want to give this the top spot because it seemed too obvious. Like is the game I put 200 hours into within 40 or so days really my goty, is it that easy? I suppose so.

Red Alert 2 Yuris Revenge posted:

In fact, it took several sessions of sitting down to actually beat it to actually beat it. I would get sidetracked by one thing or another and suddenly I spent an hour hunting down Tingle’s pants and made no forward progress. Even after playing it for dozens and dozens and dozens of hours, the shine still hasn’t worn off.

Really adore how densely packed with compelling stuff to do and explore this game is. Truly a joy for most of it.

Epic High Five posted:

was just a real achievement in a lot of ways, it totally consumed me for a month in a way that almost nothing out there can anymore.

Escobarbarian posted:

It’s unbelievable just how much joy this game gave me, how much fun it packs into every single moment, how much it encourages experimentation and play within an existing world in a way very very few other games ever have. Nintendo - who are famously extremely rigid in many ways - really made a game where the primary focus is seeing how you can break it over your knee, and in the process created maybe the most fun game of all time.

BigDumper posted:

At its core it was more time in one of my favorite game worlds ever, for that alone it was the best game of the year for me.

really gets me in a way that most other open world games cannot. No stupid waymark pointing out every attraction on the field. Just pure freedom to travel the land and sky

sticks the landing in a way very, very few open-world games do, and that earns it my #1 spot.

chiasaur11 posted:

t's a massive game that manages to actually do interesting things with all that space. It's one of the few games where your random, stupid first idea will work. It'll take some fiddling, you usually have to understand the nature of the puzzle, but you don't go "Oh. That's what you wanted me to do, then. I wasted an hour". You go "Ha! My brilliant rocket car solution eventually worked!"

TriffTshngo posted:

This game is incredible. There was never any question that this was going to be my #1. It did everything I wanted, several things I didn't realize I wanted until it was already doing them

It's unquestionably boldest game on this list from a technical and developer perspective.



02. Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (Nintendo) (2023)
763 points. Voted for 102 times. Appeared #1 twenty-eight times. Average of 7.5



Nintendo apparently hit a homerun of a Zelda game with this one, and I need to play it myself this year after having hit up so many of the other major Zeldas. Seriously, the gushing about this game (and pretty much all of the 751 games) has been a joy to read.

It put up a huge fight against the top spot but ultimately, more people played and loved the number #1 game and of course, it is

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

It’s absolutely insane that at the beginning of the generation Nintendo released a new Zelda game that remains a high point of open world gaming that people have taken inspiration from every year since. then at the very end of the generation they did it again, in a different way but somehow using the map/controls/engine/world from the first

TotK is a miracle of game design
