Named one of the best years in the history of the industry, 2023 has already delivered several major launches in the first half. With great titles for all tastes, the year offered remarkable journeys in varied genres. Horror, RPG, fighting, action and adventure… the industry is no joke. Check out the top 10 games of 2023 so far.
Diablo 4
With Lilith being the big name of the game, Diablo IV leans on the villain to offer players a memorable journey. Recovering the franchise’s glory eras, Blizzard’s game is robust and mature, with a lot of technical quality.
In Diablo IV, action RPG fans will find a dark world filled with elements that encourage exploration. With a lot of content, the game offers an excellent campaign and several memorable challenges, including numerous great battles against powerful bosses.
Dead Space Remake
The original game is still a horror classic, and remains an excellent title even today. When it comes to games that have aged well, Dead Space certainly has a must-have position on this list. For that reason, a remake seemed unnecessary, however the launch came to prove that what is already good can become even better.
Keeping the essence of the original game, especially when we talk about the intimidating atmosphere, the Dead Space remake has improved the adventure and made the journey even better. Taking advantage of mechanics that only appeared in the following games and also delivering other innovations, the title renewed itself as one of the main names in survival horror, further highlighting its prominence in the genre.
Resident Evil 4 Remake
Resident Evil 4 Remake is yet another horror remake that arrived with everything in 2023. With the year being very interesting for survival horror fans, Capcom’s title approached even more of a dark footprint, gaining greater tension than the original game . However, the remake still respects the content that has become a fan favorite.
If Resident Evil 4 was already the most appealing game in the franchise, being a title that even broke the horror bubble by embracing action elements, the remake manages to repeat this feat and certainly attracted an even larger audience. With gameplay adapted to the present day, RE4 Remake is even more fun than the original, in addition to bringing scarier moments and making better use of certain characters.
Hi-Fi Rush
Coming out of nowhere, Hi-Fi Rush was a surprise day one in the Xbox Game Pass catalogue. Launched on the day of its announcement, the game is one of the great surprises of 2023. Developed by Tango Gameworks, known for The Evil Within franchise, Hi-FI Rush delivers a totally different proposition.
The action and rhythm game lets you follow the sounds or just approach it as a hack and slash, pleasing different types of players, while its only commitment is to have fun. Cheerful, colorful and frantic, Hi-Fi Rush has great quick-time events, good boss battles and an infectious energy.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
Continuing the journey of Kal Kestis, Jedi: Survivor sees the slightly more experienced character in a new stage of his journey. In the same way as the previous game, the title has an excellent level design that knows how to explore the possibilities of strength and other jedi skills very well.
With new planets and an even deeper dive into Star Wars lore, the new game in the franchise features a more mature plot than its predecessor, with a heavier tone. A definitive experience for fans of the work.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
After the resounding success of Breath of the Wild, which was voted the best game of 2017, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom had the mission to live up to the high expectations and deliver a result as good as its predecessor.
For the happiness of Nintendo fans, the title hit the market with the quality that was expected, and it is already pointed out by many as the big favorite for the best game of the year award. Expanding on what was seen in the previous game, the new Zelda also features mechanics that serve to bring an air of innovation.
Final Fantasy XVI
Final Fantasy XVI is another title that appears among the public’s favorites for the best game of 2023 award. The PlayStation 5 exclusive action RPG took the franchise back to a medieval theme, even being compared to Game of Thrones.
With colossal battles, the title has a great focus on its narrative, with many hours of dialogues and cutscenes that develop a mature story.
Amnesia: The Bunker
Less popular than most of the games on our list, Amnesia: The Bunker is a game that does its job very well and reaffirms the franchise as one of the great names in survival horror today.
Being the first title in the franchise that offers firearms to the player, Amnesia does not give up the constant feeling of vulnerability, with its equipment serving only as a momentary defense. Delivering an excellent backtracking, which gains weight with the fact that the game does not give the player even a minute of peace of mind, the title still features an excellent tracker. A really scary and competent survival horror.
Metroid Prime Remastered
The Metroid Prime remaster marks the return of a classic, with the end result being as good as it gets. Samus Aran returned in an updated version of one of his most well-known journeys, and such a return pleased longtime fans of the franchise.
Released at the beginning of the year for Nintendo Switch, Metroid Prime Remastered is a great example of a remaster. With good reception from fans and critics, this is one of the most successful titles of the year.
Street Fighter 6
Street Fighter 6 is the franchise’s grand return in style. The fighting game was made for veteran and newcomers alike, whether it’s Capcom’s IP or the genre in general. With the Drive System, the title delivers several mechanics that make the matches very dynamic and fun, with excellent gameplay.
Street Fighter 6 bets on being a game for everyone, and it manages to achieve its objective in a very satisfactory way. The fighting game is certainly one of the most fun of the year.
