It’s The State of Gaming Podcast…for the year 2023! And what a year it was. On this happily supersized episode our regular hosts Cory Galliher and Nate Evans are again joined by extra special guest Antal Bokor (from 3rd Coast Review and Culture Combine) sort through the embarrassment of interactive riches one of the very best years in gaming history had to offer.
It’s a smorgasbord of gaming goodness – did your favorites make the cut? Besides the expected “Game of the Year” candidates like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Baldur’s Gate 3, Alan Wake 2, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and other digital delights, other games discussed include: Dead Space (Remake) (Antal’s GOTY), Amnesia: The Bunker, Jusant, System Shock Remake, Metroid Prime Remastered, The Talos Principle 2, Viewfinder, Firmament, and Tchia.
But there’s more! Other games include Master Detective Archives: Rain Code, Hi-Fi Rush, Wild Hearts, Dave the Diver, Lies of P, Exoprimal, Honkai: Star Rail, The Void Rains Upon Her Heart, and Sanabi (Cory’s GOTY), Final Fantasy XVI, Air Twister, Resident Evil 4 (Remake), Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon, Street Fighter VI, Quake 2: Remastered (Nate’s most played GOTY), DOOM (1993) Sigil 2, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, The Making of Karateka, Humanity, RoboCop: Rogue City…and many others. We said it was a year for the record books, and we weren’t kidding!
