Baldur’s Gate 3 is Game of the Year again, while Zelda and Starfield didn't make RPS's top 24 at all

Sometimes Baldur’s Gate 3 misses out on an award, but this time Rock Paper Shotgun honored Larian's hit. Some big-budget projects were overlooked, but a Russian indie adventure was mentioned instead

Rock Paper Shotgun has summed up the gaming year of 2023, publishing their top 24 best games. Baldur’s Gate 3 managed to take the lead this time (the game often “misses out” in such top lists, although it has already received dozens of top awards).

The list includes the Russian game Neyasnoe, miHoYo's renowned hit Honkai Star Rail, and World of Horror, whose full version was released recently.
