2023 was a pretty great year for gaming. While there were definitely some major lows (looking at you Gollum), there were also plenty of incredible highs as well. Here are what have been deemed to be the best games of 2023, based on metacritic score. We’ve taken the liberty of excluding any DLC content released this year that was rated highly, so as to focus our list directly on the best games of 2023.
