Alan Wake 2 is a AAA game that was outstanding out the gate. Diablo 4 is one of the rare live service games that was in good shape at launch and ha sonly improved from there. Hogwarts and Jedi Survivor were great at release as well.

So it's a mixed bag but overall 2023 was probably the strongest year for gaming in 20+ years. There were probably half a dozen games that take game of the year any other year.

Ok. Maybe just reddit and Twitter have made it seem like everything sucks balls for ages and then retroactively they're seen as fine.

Just catching up on Ghosts of Tsushima on the PS5. It's nice. Tried Starfield on game pass ultimate streaming the S/X version on an Xbox One, but the lines are so long now I don't want to wait 1/2 hour to play. Still have Elden Ring and Hogwarts purchased but haven't installed either for the PS5 yet.
