Top 30 BEST PC Games of 2023

[@Boss_Fight_Index_muki]

The problem with Starfield is the things NPCs asks you to do would only make sense in a medieval setting. Those "talk to [person]" quests where you travel to another planet, talk to [person], then travel back to the 1st planet, would only make sense in a future where phones somehow don't exist.

[@Dethmothcreations]

Having to run across an open barren planet to find an NPC that could have found their way back on their own and for some reason has zero way to communicate with their crew... its bad

[@gahangore111]

@EmKayBass Cyberpunk opinions changed way before the DLC dropped. I've also been playing games for over 30 years, and Starfield was not good. It was not bad, but it wasn't good. Based on Bethesda's track record (minus Fallout 76), Starfield is a big miss. Also, jumping the the conclusion that I haven't played the game and am regurgitating hot takes from KZbin is just lazy. You're gonna need to come to terms with the fact that Starfield isn't a good game in many people's eyes. Having done basically all the content in the game, it makes me wonder if you've actually played another game besides FO76.

Dave the Diver was one of the few single player games in years i actually stayed up late playing. Despite having all the characteristics of grindy games I don't like yet because of it's charm and the way it's broken up and each activity supports others. The timing of how it introduces everything is just excellent. The boss fights were way too easy, stupid easy but other than that if you want a change of pace i'd recommend Dave the Diver even if you generally are turned off by singleplayer games.

Guys please try Laika: Aged through Blood. It's a bullet time, biking based shooter that has some insane art, amazing melancholic music and a touching story It's an indie game and could be done in a few hours. Please don't miss it and more people need to hear about the game.

In regards to Starfield, idk how people can just ignore the game lacks computer hacking, real NPC inventories, scrapping, weapon components, real maps, clothing like glasses, you can’t loot a single desk in the game, there’s no in game radio, meaningful reasons for posts(it’s cheaper to just buy resources from vendors than manufacture them yourself), no way to explore, meaningful dialogue (all npc encounters are a pass fail, it literally doesn’t matter what you do to get there), meaningful leveling progression (just unlocking things you could do by default in previous games doesn’t feel progressive, it feels hindering) It's a bad game that has less than what we've previously seen in Bethesda games. It feels cheap and lifeless, and the NPC's feel like they're just computer prompts being activated when you talk to them

[@psudodrake]

#1 most Major change with the DeadSpace Remake that people who didn't play the original DIDN'T know, and the #1 reason this is such a major change to the game, is that Isaac Clarke... DIDN'T HAVE A VOICE in the original! He was the mute protagonist! They had to not only bring in the original Voice Actor from DeadSpace 2 and 3 to do lines, but all of the other characters had to have their dialogs rehashed to respond to a now NON-silent protagonist. What they did to make this game, other than what Falcon mentions - the continuous, single ship experience - along with upgraded sound, upgraded graphics, certain elements were changed. Like the Hunter fight... that thing kept popping up hunting you in room after room after room, and you had to TRAP it in an engine test room and flame the sucker instead of just get your timing right on a console. I'd go so far as to say the original game was harder! Then they added collectables and side stories and... this is just generally an AWESOME remake, and I hope they give the same business to DeadSpace 2, which in my opinion was superior to the original Deadspace 1.

He mentioned a lot of mid games and excluded some way better games. When u look at review scores for many of the games on the list, there's a fair amount of games like Against the Storm that he never mentioned, while mentioning games like the 75ish Robocop or 71ish Avatar instead. My guess is he's not into city builders and some other genres of games, so he just left them out or maybe never even thought about them, instead adding some mid games to the list. Ready or Not, Slay the Princess, Ugly, HiFi Rush, Vernal Edge, Gravity Circuit, Blood West, Jusant, Turbo Overkill; all these games also scored higher than tons of the games on this list and they're all excluded for more mediocre titles

With regards to Starfield, you'll often hear people say "It's a Bethesda game!" toned as both an excuse and as an explanation for the weird design choices and the game's overall presentation. I don't think that such a statement should absolve the developers for anything. The game was only 75% completed. I make that statement after having played it a considerable amount but the game needed flesh out the universe FAR more. It's a mile-wide, inch-deep kind of approach. There's generic space pirates, generic space marines, generic space cowboys, and generic space bandits, and generic space explorers. The "substance" of all of their work is mostly participated in through a kiosk. It's a boring and repetitive gameplay loop that I believe they implemented in order to not distract the player from the overarching goal of completing the game and entering it's New Game Plus system. Those factions needed to be much bigger, in my opinion. Constellation itself needed to be much bigger as well. The ship builder was the most robust part of it and nothing felt worse than building an amazing ship and then having nothing but repetitive and boring tasks to use it for.

I have no issues with Starfield being ON the list. I just think it should be lower-tier, considering the amount of caveats it automatically brings with it. I enjoyed playing it, on a number of levels. But I also had plenty of negative things to say about it, not the least of which is that when I finished an initial playthrough and about half of a NG+ playthrough...I was just bored. It's aggressively mediocre, and especially forgettable, in comparison to every other game on this list that I've personally played. To sidestep a bit...I feel the EXACT same way about Hogwart's Legacy, in pretty much every respect. Neither of those games is going in my top 10, or maybe even top 20, of the year. That said...Baldur's Gate as #1 is definitely an easy and accurate choice. Larian outdid themselves, and I can't say enough good about this title...it's 99% perfect.

[@chrisstopher2277]

What amazes me is youve played 30 PC games this year. I know its your job but that is impressive. PCs are great but man they are frustrating.

[@Balorian]

Sad to see D4 and Starfield on here but not Rogue Trader. D4 wasn't up to par with free games developed 5 years ago, and Starfield while it did have some gems in there, for the most part was empty, lifeless and joyless. Phantom Liberty for me at least was amazing start to finish, Starfield was forgotten until this video.

Wrong wrong wrong. What a dumb comment.

[@FearBoo]

Hearing how Falcon defends himself when talking about Harry Potter is just sad.

[@shanielson]

The reason Starfield is disliked so heavily by the fans isn't because we're being unfair or because we just want to hate BGS. It's disliked because the writing is utterly lazy, without question the worst writing in any bethesda game bar none. The gunplay feels somehow worse than fallout 4, the world is utterly vapid and devoid of any interesting content to explore, and to top it off the devs responding with braindead takes about how the first astronauts on the moon weren't bored when they weren't playing a damn video game. The engine isn't even in like the top 10 list of biggest problems with the game yet somehow people continue to default to that because they didn't actually put the time in to see what people are saying or play the game themselves. Kind of an L take honestly love you Falcon but you're off with the take here.

[@JayRacer]

I agree with your take on the writing. Holy crap. Vapid is exactly the verbiage I’ve used to describe it and some other “epic” games released this year.

[@jackfulger9454]

I so wish these countdowns had nightmode. I need new eyeballs now. Good video.

[@cenciende9401]

Let's be honest, 2023 needed a Top 50 list!

[@wasakawakawaka2028]

There’s some really interesting games in here that I actually forgot about.

[@shaun.shub2003]

Hogwarts and Jedi Survivor are my top two for 2023 . I m surprised to see Jedi Survivor couldnt make it to the list

[@lynkx5066]

I think its horrible optimization on PC prevents it from making the list.

[@alexhades69]

@@lynkx5066 I played it on 3060 ti and 5600x and it felt good enough. Remnants 2 are more demanding then Jedi Survivor, but is on the list.

[@skoulikantera]

Its more of a console game rathen than a pc one

[@lynkx5066]

@@alexhades69 3080 with a 5800x and the game runs fine but frame rate can be all over the place

So glad you had Blasphemous 2 in here! Man that game had me locked in

[@843Bobinator]

Well done on including Starfield, it’s my favorite game of 2023 and I own all 3 consoles. Something about it just clicked with me

[@Petr_Pekar]

Aliens: Dark Descent deserves at least a mention. It´s one of the most inovative strategies in years. I will just tell myself, that Falcon purposely forgot that, because as a bird is scared of tight corridors.

[@James-gj8rn]

i've said this before but i really wanted to get into Baldur's Gate 3, i can definitely see a great game there but the combat is too difficult even on Easy difficulty, i get wiped out so easily (i'll have to experiment with different builds)

[@AlluringSpy]

I found it pretty fair, look up some guides and if it still feels hard to you then don't feel bad about using cheats in a singleplayer game, look up wemod or fling trainer online

[@zagon8692]

The game is for People that cant get a partner IRL sooo. They are beating there meat everyday in that game. Sad if you think about it. PornGate 3

[@rayven1234]

Build a party where everyone has a heal i.e paladin, cleric, fighter

[@80Elminster]

it's not hard at all. You really just need to learn the mechanics. Your builds are not the problem

[@gavinjones]

I am glad octopath 2 was mentioned, its way better than the first

[@Arctic2724]

Cyberpunk 2077

[@gregvonderahe6072]

Seeing the 60fps numbers makes me happy

game does feel great at higher fps
