It\u2019s natural to start reflecting back on the gaming year at this point in the calendar, even though we\u2019re still waiting on a handful of big games such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and hopefully the parity-clause-busting<\/u><\/a> Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. Shout-out to a smaller game that\u2019s out in just a couple weeks, too: The Invincible, a retro-sci-fi walking simulator that looks right up my alley. Plus, a game very high on my list of most anticipated games, Alan Wake 2, will be out mere hours after you read this (here’s our glowing review<\/a>), if it isn\u2019t already. Anyway, it\u2019s been a heck of a year already so here are my five favorite games I\u2019ve played on my Xbox Series X so far in 2023 (in no particular order):<\/p>\n

Starfield<\/h3>\n
<\/section>\n
<\/section>\n

Is it perfect? No. But is it really good, not to mention incredibly massive? Most definitely. As I said on Podcast Unlocked<\/u><\/a> after it came out, for me personally, it sits right between The Elder Scrolls and Fallout in terms of my most beloved Bethesda Game Studios franchises (I love TES\u2019s take on fantasy, what can I say?). As with its sibling series, Starfield is not short on things to do, both big and small. I had an absolute blast with the epic UC Vanguard\/Crimson Fleet faction questline, which I fell into by complete accident, and I can\u2019t wait to play more. <\/p>\n

Diablo 4<\/h3>\n
<\/section>\n

This is the game I\u2019ve spent the most time with on my Xbox so far in 2023, and it\u2019s probably my favorite thus far as well. I go way back with Diablo \u2013 all the way to the beginning \u2013 and for me, Diablo 4 hit all the right buttons. It got the gameplay loop as perfect as any other time in the series, and yes, that includes the GOAT Diablo 2. Sure, it\u2019s had to navigate some bumps in the road in its endgame and post-release content, but the core of Diablo 4 gave me dozens upon dozens of maximum-fun entertainment. I stayed up late playing it. I thought about playing it when I woke up. And honestly, I found it to be better <\/em>on the Series X than on the PC, because direct control of my character felt so good, as did playing on my 55\u201d TV instead of my 27\u201d PC monitor. <\/p>\n

Forza Motorsport<\/h3>\n
<\/section>\n

We\u2019ve waited a long time for a new Forza Motorsport from Turn 10 Studios. Far longer than ever, in fact, as prior to the six-year gap between Forza Motorsport 7 and the next-gen reboot simply titled Forza Motorsport, the series had shipped a new game every two years like clockwork \u2013 raising the bar for simulation racing every single time. It got to the point where a new Motorsport wasn\u2019t all that sexy, because you just knew <\/em>it was going to be good. And I\u2019m not sure that was even very different this time around, even with the long wait. Turn 10 is insanely good at this, and while this platform-for-the-next-generation-of-Motorsport isn\u2019t perfect, it\u2019s still arguably the best simulation racer on Earth, and it\u2019s a must-play for any car geek.<\/p>\n

Sea of Thieves: The Legend of Monkey Island<\/h3>\n
<\/section>\n

For me and perhaps me alone, the most stunning, shocking, surprising moment of the entire gaming year in all the best of ways was the reveal of the Monkey Island crossover with Sea of Thieves. Rare got the voice actors back and crafted an entire three-part, puzzle-driven adventure playable in solo or co-op, and it\u2019s absolutely delightful<\/em>. The humor, the charm, the puzzles \u2013 they\u2019re all here! As someone for whom the original two Monkey Island games were core gaming memories in the early \u201890s, being able to walk freely around Melee Island in first-person put a gigantic smile on my face the entire time I played. I confess I still have to finish this \u2013 as I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll agree, it\u2019s been that <\/em>kind of year \u2013 but I can\u2019t wait to. I know it\u2019s basically guaranteed to make me happy.<\/p>\n

Hi-Fi Rush<\/h3>\n
<\/section>\n

Xbox started its year by shadow-dropping an absolute banger from Tango Gameworks straight onto Xbox Game Pass. Hi-Fi Rush blended combo-driven action gameplay perfectly with some rhythm-genre flair sprinkled on top \u2013 not to mention a healthy dose of fun personality and an absolutely perfect-for-this-game art style. It didn\u2019t take itself too seriously, and it had a blast just being what it was. It is one of our best-reviewed<\/u><\/a> Xbox games this year, and its praise is well-deserved. I\u2019ll be curious to see if Microsoft, Bethesda, and Tango double down on this with a bigger-budget follow-up, or if this was a one-off. Either way it won\u2019t be forgotten anytime soon!<\/p>\n
