These 30 video games drew essentially the most dialogue and curiosity from our panel of greater than two dozen PC Gamer editors. A few of them will get awards, revealed first within the subsequent difficulty of PC Gamer, which you’ll subscribe to at below $4 per difficulty within the US.

If 2023 had a theme, it was its status unbiased video games. In Neon White, Bizarre West, Immortality, Citizen Sleeper, Dwarf Fortress, and Vampire Survivors, we noticed small studios going off-genre to make unique, fascinating video games. This wasn’t one other 12 months where a development like roguelikes made up a disproportionate quantity of the indie output.

Preserve your browser tuned to pcgamer.com as we put together to disclose a brand new award winner every day by the top of the 12 months, starting subsequent week.
