    Jusant
    Jusant has all the ingredients of the best indie games. It shows with how much love it was made in its touching story, impressive sound design and one of a kind gameplay. But Jusant so relying on its climbing that unfortunately you will not be able to enjoy it if you don't like the way the game treats it, and the boring first half hour doesn't do justice to the rest of the game. Beyond that its a smooth climbing to great heights which make the game a very cool experience.

    Alan Wake II
    Games like Alan Wake 2 deserve to be celebrated. This game is doing a lot right, with stunning visuals, great story, amazing sound design and smart gameplay and puzzle loop. It's so heartwarming to see one of my favorite games growing up getting the sequel it deserves.

    Super Mario Bros. Wonder
    Super Mario Bros. Wonder is, without a shadow of a doubt, living up to its wonderous name. A game this good that manages to blend incredible platforming and level design with light humor and a ton of positivity (that even makes the multiplayer aspect positive), is truly remarkable and one of a kind.

    Sonic Superstars
    While Sonic fans (me amongst them), would certainly love this game, it does have its drawbacks that make it a good, yet kind of forgettable game. Still better than Sonic 4 though - by a landslide.

    Detective Pikachu Returns
    Pokemon have had a lot of brilliant spin-off games over the years. Detective Pikachu Returns isn't one of them. It's a fine game, but it has little to go with in terms of gameplay or even story.

    Forza Motorsport
    This is a fantastic racing sim game that like its fierce competition over at Sony, knows how to balance arcade gameplay with some realism in regard to weather and track conditions. It also helps that it looks and plays great.

    EA Sports FC 24
    We can change the name, but the "FIFA" heart is still there, and in full force. Ultimate team got most of the love (obviously), but although it doesn't feel like a new game, it is still the best football game you can buy right now.

    Marvel's Spider-Man 2
    Spider-Man 2 is a celebration for anything related to gaming, and one of the best superhero games ever made.

    Assassin's Creed Mirage
    The new installment in the popular Assassin's Creed series achieves what it sets out to be: an "old-school" experience that veterans of the series will enjoy. I just wish there were more improvements to the basic (yet fun) formula, and that the story was a tad better.

    Silent Hope
    Silent Hope, while being a good game, seems to be fighting with its own main gimmick of seven different heroes by making some contradicting design choices.

    Starfield
    Houston, we have a problem - i can't stop playing Starfield, despite its flaws. If you're looking for a Sci-Fi space RPG, this is the game for you to sink hundreds of hours on, even though its main plot is not interesting, its side content is more than enough, with engaging combat, addicting ship building system and more.

    The Crew Motorfest
    The Crew Motorfest is an excellent racing game, only hampered by its own big and empty open world. Unlike its rivals, the lack of missions and stuff to do in the open world really hold it back.

    Pokemon Scarlet / Pokemon Violet: The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero - Part 1: The Teal Mask
    A fine story and the return of some old favorites can't mask what is a poorly coded, poorly optimized and poorly performs new area. They could have taken the time and effort to fix problems with this DLC, but instead they made some things worse.

    Sea of Stars
    This is a huge contender for GOTY for me. It's one of the best throwbacks to classic JRPGs I have seen in a long while. The first thing I did after finishing the game was pre-ordering the physical edition one. It's that good.

    Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
    Being hip is cool again. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk trades its graphical fidelity and pixel counts for excellent gameplay loop and incredible music - all wrapped up in a neat and true Jet Set Radio spiritual successor.

    Thunder Ray
    Thunder Ray is a polished game - while it lasts. The absence of other game modes, including a scoring system, makes this a good, but extremely short experience.

    Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons
    In the past years we have seen a lot of great and ambitious attempts at the Beat-em-up genre. Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of The Dragons is mostly a step backwards towards more traditional arcade ways, and it pays of in his unique, quite rough-like, take on the story - whileֲ the basic combat and non-existing other game modes making the game feels empty.

    Baldur's Gate 3
    Baldur's Gate 3 is the pinnacle for RPG games that puts the "Role Play" back in Role Playing Games. Larian Studios sets a new industry standard that is beyond what we've seen in terms of gameplay, replayability, and graphics. The endless possibilities create the true feeling of an open world that doesn't lead you in a way and gives the player a way to explore the story in limitless opportunities.

    DAVE THE DIVER
    2023 didn't really need a game that good. It was already a banger of a year for video games. But here we are, with Dave the Diver being one of the most fun, fulfilling, wholesome, and sometime downright beautiful games that came out this year.

    Atlas Fallen
    Atlas Fallen might not be the best open world game of all time, but it's a fun experience and does a lot right, both mechanically and artistically-wise.

    Pikmin 4
    This is probably the best game in a criminally underrated series by Nintendo. Almost every gameplay element was handled with care, with very few mishaps. I know it really doesn't look like it, but Pikmin 4 is a game for hardcore gamers that are willing to dig deep to find one of the most fulfilling and exciting games out there.

    Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
    While the game is still a classic and fun to play, the fact that players with HDD simply can't enjoy this game like the rest of their PC brethren, basically means that you either upgrade your PC, or won't enjoy this game.

    Gravity Circuit
    Again we turn to the indie game devs in order to get a game that is this polished and satisfying to control. Gravity Circuit is really guilty of false advertising: It's way flashier and way more satisfying than what the store page description is telling you. Truly one of the best games of 2023.

    Sonic Origins Plus
    Is it a good Sonic collection? Yes, very much - and the addition of the Game Gear games is just the icing on the cake. But still, the tactics that Sega employed with this game collection, plus the fact that it is still missing some fixes bugs me a lot.

    AEW: Fight Forever
    While being a good first shot at the gaming market, AEW Fight Forever has too much mediocre parts to make it a good competitor for the WWE 2K Series.

    Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope: The Last Spark Hunter
    The Last Spark Hunter managed to do something we didn't think was possible: It made us care for a DLC other than the one that has Rayman in it. What a great DLC, with great combat, great new characters and fun world to explore.

    Final Fantasy XVI
    This was a big risk by Square Enix, but it paid off marvelously. The PS5 now has its Final Fantasy game, and although it doesn't really feel like a Final Fantasy game (mechanically), but it is an excellent game in its own right, with amazing graphics, incredible gameplay in what is possibly the OST of the year. I am so happy that this is my 300th review.

    Diablo IV
    Diablo IV is not just a great game by Blizzard. The company sorely needed that win - that one game that might drag it out of the mud, and Diablo IV with its great story, atmosphere, sound and world - may be the one to do it.

    Street Fighter 6
    Street Fighter 6 has managed to single handedly change the series from being one of the most complex in the genre to having one of the most welcoming, fun and enjoyable fighting games ever made.

    Bat Boy
    Barring some mishaps, Bat Boy is a triumph: Solid gameplay that keeps getting better with each stage. It's a very short game, but it's a sweet experience that I can definitely recommend to everyone that's a fan of 2D platformers (and especially Shovel Knight).
