Top 3 Games You Should Play Before 2023 Ends
With all the great films that premiered this year, most of the best ones have been original stories. However, we have something to offer you that will keep you engaged and entertained for an even longer period and will take you to new worlds!
We are going to go through 3 of the best games of 2023 that you must play before the year ends! All of these games have been nominated for several Game Awards, including ‘Game of the Year’ and ‘Art Direction.’ Usually, sequels are not as good as their predecessors, but this year, all 3 games are sequels of already existing games! But before we dive straight into it, we need to establish whether you even have a strong internet connection or not.
We’d personally vouch for Spectrum Internet, as it offers great speeds, smoother signing-on processes, and an overall better experience. Spectrum is also one of the biggest ISPs in the U.S., available in over 41 states, and has over 500 store locations! Needless to say, the reach of this service provider is massive. If you’d like more details or information about it, you can reach out to its 24/7 customer support team at 844-760-4220.
Now, without any further ado, here are the games!
1. Alan Wake II
‘Alan Wake I’ was released in 2010 by Remedy and received a very positive response from critics and audiences alike, making the game ahead of its time from a graphic and narrative point of view! For over a decade, fans of the game wondered if there would ever be a sequel, and after 13 years of waiting, we finally have a sequel that is not only worthy of its predecessor but it takes everything that was great about the first and makes it even better in every single way!
It is a dual protagonist narrative, where we follow Alan Wake, who is trying to escape his nightmare. He has been trapped in this for 13 years, while simultaneously, an investigator is uncovering a dark and disturbing case, which is directly connected to Alan Wake.
We are taken through a mind-bendingly dark and profoundly cathartic experience, as we switch between the 2 characters and explore what it means to be a storyteller and the responsibilities we hold as artists. The gameplay mechanics are pretty sharp and inventive with a very intuitive and satisfying third-person shooter mechanics, mixed with some creative reality-shifting levels that keep you on edge the whole time!
Alan Wake II is available on PlayStation 5, X-Box Series X and S, and Microsoft Windows!
Spider-Man 2
Insomniac gave us 2 of the best superhero games, and now they are giving us a sequel that does an amazing job of advancing the story of the first, while also perfecting the game mechanics. Not only do we get to play as Peter Parker, but we get to play as both Peter and Miles.
The game manages to capture how it feels to swing through the New York skyline. We get to glide into the air and swing through skyscrapers at an incredible pace that feels extremely freeing and relaxing. Even when you don’t follow the main story, it just feels wonderful to exist in the open world. Everything is masterfully crafted and the characters are also well-written, so it's just a really fun game to play since you get to be Spider-Man for a few hours!
Spider-Man 2 is now available to play on PlayStation 5.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
‘The Legend of Zelda: The Breath of the Wild’ was the game of the year when it was released in 2017, and it was so universally loved that everyone wanted more! With 6 years in the making, Nintendo finally released the sequel this year and it is as beautiful as the first one, if not better.
There is an amazing world to explore and the new gameplay mechanics (which include being able to craft your own vehicles) allow you to travel vast distances quickly from land or air. This never gets old because you get to enjoy the beautiful world of this game and perform fun and challenging puzzles to progress through the story!
If you are a fan of the first game, you are guaranteed to love this one and if this is your introduction to the world of Zelda, then there is no better way to enjoy a game that is handcrafted for the console!
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is now available on Nintendo Switch.
In Conclusion
We hope you enjoy our picks of the best games for this year, since this has been a fantastic year for games. Enjoy ending this year with a wonderful experience of getting lost in these wonderful worlds!
