2023 has been an interesting year. I decided to take my game reviews a lot more seriously, and as a result, I got to cover a cool event, meet some interesting people, and play some fun games. Since the year is about halfway over, I think it is the perfect time to make a list of the best games I’ve played so far. This list is based on my opinion and in no specific order. I put a lot of thought into only including the games I believe deserve the most attention. There were some hard choices, but I didn’t want this list to be long.

I am not the biggest fan of strategy games, but this one was so much fun. Check out the full review!
