The Game Awards 2023, gaming’s biggest night of the year, are finally over. After a handful of hours filled with winners and the occasional announcement, the evening’s final award has been given out. That’s right, we have a new Game of the Year winner. While 2022’s GOTY race was decidedly boring, considering most people knew Elden Ring would take home the prize since the game’s release at the beginning of the year, 2023 was a much tighter race. While being a bad year for the industry at large, the games that came out in 2023 were remarkably incredible across the board.
