MODERATORS
I think going by overall mainstream appeal and zeitgeist it's correct. Everybody was talking about BG3 that year, even people who are usually not fans of the genre. So in that sense I agree that 2023 was the year of BG3.
On the games' merit alone as standalone pieces of art abstracted from context I think Alan Wake 2 puts up a good fight.
Yeah, last year was not a weak year. There was a new highly-regarded Zelda game as well, which is easy to forget when Baldur's Gate 3 won every award so unanimously.
