10. Immortals of Aveum

Searching for something unique? Immortals of Aveum is a graphically stunning “magic shooter” that takes place in a magically chaotic universe. After hours of casting spells, the battle may get a little monotonous, but the realm and exploration will keep you interested. This might be your ticket if you’re looking for a shooter to pass the time until the next Call of Duty, but you should probably wait for a sale.

9. Remnant 2

The best elements of the action-RPG and third-person shooter genres are combined in Remnant 2 and placed in a mysterious, surprising universe. What makes it special? Every time you play, a different universe is chosen for you to begin in. Out of five worlds, you can choose from a range that includes high fantasy worlds to a sci-fi world in a post-heat death universe. Explore, learn, and confront the unexpected in this exhilarating game that’s getting a lot of attention from reviewers and fans alike.

8.  Baldur’s Gate 3

The Dungeons & Dragons: Baldur’s Gate 3 is ready to satisfy your craving for epic fantasy. Set 120 years after the previous game, the world is set in the Forgotten Realms, a popular Dungeon & Dragons setting. The storyline includes a plan based on the prophecy of Alaundo, which foretells the coming of the player character. You can play with up to three friends and have access to a large open environment with limitless possibilities.

7. Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon

The ultimate mech combat game, Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon, lets you modify your robotic body, switch out weapons, and fight against powerful opponents in frantic encounters. It’s a mech-lover’s fantasy, with simple-to-grasp but difficult-to-master aerial combat. The best thing, though? It doesn’t require prior knowledge—just hop in and start playing

6. Starfield

The developers of Skyrim and Fallout, Bethesda Game Studios, are returning with Starfield. A vast open world with customizable spacecraft, an epic plot, and a thousand planets to discover are all features of this space adventure game. You can even construct spaceships in the shape of a platypus because, why not?

5. The Crew Motorfest

You’re invited to The Crew Motorfest, an open, island-wide auto show with impromptu competitions and racing. You’ll feel perfectly at home here if you enjoy the Forza Horizon series. This is the ideal game to sate your racing urges while you wait for the next Forza Horizon release, boasting a stunning Hawaiian location and a range of vehicles.

4. Mortal Kombat 1

With the introduction of Kameo combatants and an epic single-player martial arts extravaganza ‘Kampaign’, Mortal Kombat 1 reimagines the 30-year-old franchise. This game offers a thorough and enjoyable single-player experience that will keep you entertained—if you can handle the excessive violence.

3. Lies of P

With its meticulous, brutal action role-playing experience evoking Dark Souls and Elden Ring, Lies of P is a dark horse for the top video game of 2023. It skillfully blends horror and action themes within a steampunk interpretation of the classic Pinocchio fairy story. Although challenging, it’s worth checking out—especially since it’s included in Xbox Game Pass.

2. Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty

Cyberpunk 2077 is back with Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, the first and only expansion for the original game from 2020. This game makes significant graphics upgrades and overhauls of the RPG systems and skills to solve the problems of the initial version. Get ready for a bleak future reminiscent of Blade Runner, complete with cybernetic enhancements, and a compelling tale featuring political intrigue. You will unfortunately need a more recent system to play it because it skips previous consoles (PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, Steam Deck).

1. Forza Motorsport

In contrast to other racing games, Forza Motorsport places a strong emphasis on the bond between the player and their vehicle. As you go, you can race, improve, and develop your car’s capabilities. This “CaRPG” is fun to play because it has engaging driving mechanics and responsive physics. With game features such as photorealistic graphics, immersive sound design, and dynamic weather effects, it provides a gorgeous setting with multiple gameplay features.

Forza Motorsport plays like a throwback to the genre’s past by letting players concentrate on the track rather than pummeling them with predatory pay-to-win mechanics. This gives it a focused feeling that is occasionally lacking in other recent racing games. With 500 vehicles to collect, the game gives you all the opportunity to make your way to the top and race wherever, whenever!
