The year 2023 turned out to be the best for games in the last 20 years, but investors are often not thrilled
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
The year 2023 saw a great number of releases of varying quality. Both Redfall with Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3 happened
Axios decided to take a look at how things are going in the gaming industry. The year 2023 seemed particularly successful for releases to many, and that is no coincidence.
It turned out that 2023 is the best year for gaming in the past 20 years: 25 games received an average Metacritic score of 90+ on at least one platform.
Some of the highly acclaimed projects of 2023:
- Baldur's Gate 3 — 96 points out of 100
- The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom — 96 points
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition (updated version) — 94 points
- Metroid Prime Remastered — 94 points
- Tetris Effect Connected — 93 points
- Resident Evil 4 (remake) — 93 points
- Street Fighter 6 — 92 points
- Sea of Stars — 91 points
- Diablo 4 — 91 points
- Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty (expansion) — 90 points
It might seem that 2023 was great for the gaming industry in every way. However, that is not entirely true: there has been a noticeable drop in parts of the stock market, investors are in no rush to invest money, and many companies are laying off employees.
