The 20 Best Video Games of 2023, Ranked
27.12.2023 - 09:58 / fortressofsolitude.co.za / Best
As the sun sets on 2023, it’s time to look back at the year’s digital masterpieces. From groundbreaking graphics to storytelling that tugs at the heartstrings, here are the 20 best video games of 2023.
2023 Saw The Release Of One Of The Worst Games Of All Time
It’s been a while since gaming has seen a year as momentous as 2023. From instant classics to unexpected releases, the year has graced gamers with some of the most memorable interactive experiences in recent memory. The best part is that no one’s left behind: from Nintendo to Steam Deck players, 2023 democratized access to top-tier gaming for everyone.
While the usual woes and disappointments weren’t absent in 2023, the good outweighed the bad this year. With all that in mind, coming up with a list of the best games of 2023 sounds almost daunting. Still, each game on this list deserves every award and commendation it gets – from the AAA releases to the indie darlings.
But before we can discuss our picks for the best games of 2023, we should take a deeper look into how the gaming industry looks from a financial standpoint. Considering the ever-growing budgets for AAA games and some storefronts increasing the base price of their games to $70, we’d expect to see a slump in the gaming world. However, the truth is that gaming has never seen a stronger momentum.
2023 has been a year of ups and downs for the video game industry, highlighting its resilience and growing pains. Newzoo reports that revenue is expected to reach $187.7 billion, a modest 2.6% increase; the landscape shows successes and struggles. This is all par for the course of this whirlwind of a year.
Console sales soar, likely to surpass 7.4%, driven by Sony’s PlayStation 5 and Microsoft’s Xbox Series X/S, current-gen consoles offering gamers an undeniably attractive library of new releases and cross-gen titles. This highlights the industry’s ability to overcome economic challenges and adapt to changing consumer preferences.
Rumours of a new Nintendo console have somewhat affected the global Switch sales – but that was to be expected. After all, by this point, the Nintendo Switch has become an indispensable part of almost every living room. Everyone already owns Nintendo’s hybrid console, so a new model – or a next-generation entry altogether – makes perfect sense in 2024.
Mobile gaming remains a force, expected to reach $92.6 billion, or nearly half of the industry’s total revenue. Titles like PUBG Mobile and its innovative multiplayer experiences continue to captivate audiences worldwide, demonstrating the inherent reach and engagement of mobile gaming.
Cloud gaming services like Microsoft’s xCloud and Sony’s PlayStation Now are gaining ground, offering platform-independent access to huge game

This Slay the Spire-like made to teach a dev’s daughter maths looks like the best edutainment game I never had
If you’re like me, you probably have at least one treasured memory of being allowed to play an edutainment game at school under the guise of learning. What a blast, getting to play video games at school! For me, it was a floppy disk with a bizarre Pac-Man clone where you had to answer maths questions every time you ran into an enemy or obstacle. I’m sure for others it might be unforgiving classic Oregon Trail or globetrotting trivia quiz Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?
