Before we crown IGN’s Best Game of 2023, let’s first acknowledge what an amazing year it has been for game releases. There were great games almost every month, and every nominee — from Cocoon to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 — is certainly someone’s personal game of the year. But ultimately this year was defined by a presumed front-runner, and the surprising challengers for the throne.
Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is IGN’s game of the year, with Baldur’s Gate 3 as the close second.
Edit: to anyone downvoting. I’m playing the game with my partner on ps5. It has been fun, but now we are in act 3 and the game crashes every time she joins the game. The solution I have found is if I return to the camp and then let her join, it works. That’s why it’s not a “finished” game for me.
The industry knows. There were articles about how the game scared everyone because it was released finished and it’s fun.
