Yes even better than 2007, which gave us great titles like Mass Effect, Halo 3, Cod4, Assassins Creed, Mario Galaxy, team Fortress 2, Guitar Hero 3, Crackdown, Bioshock, Skate, Uncharted, the darkness, the Witcher, portal, rock band, crysis
Holy sh. Maybe not. But it’s close.
In 2023 we got:
Remnant 2

Dead Island 2
Cyberpunk 2.0/Phantom Liberty
Street Fighter 6
Diablo 4
Spiderman 2
Mario Wonder

Jedi Survivor
Gta 6 announcement/trailer****** (huge)
Final Fantasy 16
Starfield
Mortal Kombat
Counter Strike 2
Skull Island Rise of Kong
RoboCop
Alan Wake 2
Okay. Actually maybe not. Too many remakes/remastered games. But if it’s not #1 it’s easily #2. Such a great year.
Many of these games aren’t particularly interesting to me. The best years in gaming are gone, as innovation became replaced with reiteration and monetization.
I don’t think we’ll get many games ever again as iconic as games like
Chrono trigger Final fantasy 7 Super Metroid F zero GX Halo 3 Portal 2 Ocarina/Majoras Mask KOTOR Diablo 2 Tetris Pokemon gold/silver Banjo kazooie
Etc etc
