At the same time, dozens of other 2023 releases excelled in their efforts to provide unmissable entertainment on various platforms.
So far, this list has five games that got an ultra-rare 10/10 score from GameSpot. But we've nonetheless got a hefty list to go through-games of an incredibly high standard that are spread out across a wide variety of genres and themes. That's not to say that the games that scored below that threshold (or that we didn't review) aren't worthy of playing. While there's still some time before 2023 draws to a close, we're taking a look at the games that got a review score of 8 (which we deem 'great') or higher on GameSpot so far this year. It's not often that you get so many months of high-profile and critically acclaimed releases, but so far, this year has delivered a seemingly endless line of AAA blockbusters and smaller games with impressive ideas at their cores. 2023 is set to go down as an all-time great when it comes to the most memorable years in gaming.
