2023 is coming to an end, and it will be remembered as one of the best in terms of releases in history, rivaling the legendary 1998 that we remembered earlier this year. Baldur’s Gate 3, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Alan Wake 2, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2... The list is long, and there were games left out of the GOTY pools that would have been strong contenders in other years after competing against these true titans.

At MeriStation we’ve started reviewing the best games by genre or category, such as platformers or strategy, but now it’s time to see what the specialized critics have to say.
