In the immortal words of Future Islands, “Seasons change.” It’s that bittersweet time when we savor the memories of the past and prepare for what the future will bring, and this week, we here at Kotaku asked you to chime in on what games you loved most in 2023, and what you can’t wait to play in 2024.

We recently asked you, dear Kotaku readers, what your most anticipated games of 2024 might be. The list y’all presented mirrors some of the titles I’m stoked about, but you also shared a bunch of games that weren’t yet on my radar. Thank you for that. Most of all, there appears to be one game we all—myself included—can’t wait to get our hands on, and it’s a sequel. - Levi Winslow Read More

2023 is almost over, folks. I’d say, “We made it,” but who am I kidding? 2024 will begin, and all the same shit that made 2023 a non-stop hellscape will continue in perpetuity. But 2023 did have a lot of cool games, and every December, we gather to talk about our favorites. We’re doing it here at Kotaku, as well. You might’ve seen some of our personal Game of the Year lists go up on the site already (like mine and senior editor Alyssa Mercante’s). We’ll be posting our site-wide Very Official top 12 list soon, but in the meantime, we wanted to ask you lovely folks: What was your favorite game you played in 2023? - Kenneth Shepard Read More

Sprawl is a wonderful fusion of challenging and stylish gameplay.
