For many, the Bethesda game and the Tang Gameworks game should have had more impact, but in 2023 the truth is that it left us with many great games. AND 2024 looks much betterso maybe the GOTY candidate is harder to choose.
Fortunately, if there is something that is not missing on these dates, it is the awards and nominations from different associations, magazines, entities and more. So, in some of these awards, a place is given to other types of games. Because life doesn’t stop at Geoff’s beach bar.
