10 Games Releasing 2023 That I'm Most Excited About

2022 was a wonderful year for games for me. I've played a lot of games in my backlog, as well as new releases as they came out. It can be tough keeping up with all the games that are releasing, but there are quite a few that I have my eye out for this year. Some big, some small, and some in-between! While I won't be talking about all of these extensively on this blog (mayhaps in smaller posts though, who knows?), at the very I want to gush about these in the turn of the new year.

Like a Dragon: Ishin (PS4, PS5, Steam, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S) February 21st 2023

To think that it's only been a few years now since I've first jumped on the Yakuza bandwagon. While there's still a few of the games that I need to finish, I'm excited to take on this spin-off game. Will I absolutely die because I insist on button mashing? Yes. Will I lose my mind the minute I see Majima? Also yes. I’d love to finish out the rest of my backlog with Yakuza before February comes around, but I know that’s but a lofty dream.

Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (Switch) May 12th, 2023

If there is one thing that I have always enjoyed when it comes to Legend of Zelda, it's the lore and styling of the series. Link knows how to make an impact, even in his simple tunic. While I never finished Breath of the Wild due to my attention span being really bad at the time that this game released, there is a hope inside of me that I'll see this game through to the end. That and, I'm also hoping that they improved on the open world aspect to tie in more story.

Master Detective Archives: Rain Code (Switch) 2023

When it comes to adventure games, my absolute favorite genre are mysteries. I love being able to solve the big question behind what's happening. So while I should know better than to put all of my eggs into one basket, my hopes are very high that this game will scratch my ever constant mystery adventure game itch. Given that the people behind Dangan Ronpa are behind this game, it should at the very least be an interesting experience.

Fire Emblem Engage (Switch) January 20th, 2023

Like a lot of the Fire Emblem fandom, when the first official trailer for Engage came out, I was not sold on the designs at all. It just felt too...gimmicky. But after the deluge of new character designs that have come out, along with just allowing time to settle in, I realize that I am generally excited to see what Fire Emblem has in store for us. Of course, it is still a mild excitement, given the disappointment that was the gameplay/map designs for Three Houses. Say what you will, while the story was very good, the tactics gameplay left quite a bit to be desired.

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection (Switch, PS4, Steam) April 14th, 2023

I have a soft spot for Gameboy RPGs. Growing up on Yu-Gi-Oh games, I just really love the styling of isometric views. While I don't have any nostalgia for Mega Man at all, I do want go play as many older RPGs that I can, especially those from the GBA era that I wasn't able to play in my youth. And perhaps, if I end up enjoying these games, it can show that fans want more from Capcom in terms of Mega Man RPGs.

Final Fantasy XVI (PS5) June 22nd, 2023

I'm not what you would call a Final Fantasy fan. That's not to say that I hate the series or anything, but more that I've just...never completed a Final Fantasy game. The furthest I've gotten was with Final Fantasy XIV and I haven't played Endwalker yet (and probably won't, just because I'm burnt out on MMOs for the foreseeable future). But something about XVI is drawing my eye and I find myself very intrigued. Perhaps its the gruff main character, or the fact that his charge is unexpectedly murdered, meaning that some intense angst is bound to occur. Who knows?

A Space for the Unbound (PS4, PS5, Switch, Steam, Xbox One) January 19th, 2023

I remember playing this little indie demo about a year ago and loving the atmosphere behind it. The pixel art was gorgeous and I followed one of the developers of this title as they were posting about the game on Twitter. To see it finally be released has me very excited, especially so soon too.

Suikoden I and II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars (PS4, Xbox One, Switch, Steam) 2023

I'm very late to the classic RPG train, due to the fact that I never had the opportunity to play these games growing up. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who had thought this, but over the past...decade or so, Konami just left a bad taste in my mouth. From my perspective, it was the fact that they had so many IPs that they underutilized and those that they did milk (Yu-Gi-Oh) felt like low effort cash grabs. So seeing them actually putting an effort to developing and publishing games over the last few years has been a bit surprising. But hey, if it results in them opening their vault of old games and bringing them to more audiences, I'm all for it.

Have a Nice Death (Switch, Steam) March 22nd, 2023

Roguelikes are a genre that I never imagined myself exploring until I played Hades. Now, I'm on the search for any other roguelikes that can scratch that satisfying itch of slashing through enemies, failing horribly, and getting back up and trying again (with some leniency since I'm bad at games). I'm not quite sure what to expect when coming into this game as I like to know as little as possible about new games I'm interested in (outside of the basics to make sure I'm actually interested in it).

Mineko's Night Market (Switch, Steam) 2023

This is another indie title that I've had my eye on since it was first revealed in a Nintendo Indie Direct a couple years ago or so. Since then, it's been remaining low key, trickling out information every once in a blue moon. But now, it seems as though we are at the end of the tunnel, with a potential release date coming this year.

Those are just some of the games that I’m excited to play this year. But what games have your interest peaked?

Happy birthday, and I'm sorry for everything

Hey Arthur, I can't believe you're 20. Remember when we met? I was 14, a freshman. You shadowed one of my classmates. I couldn't dance, so I sat with you and talked to you during that class. You wanted to be in musical theater. We exchanged DieviantArt usernames. You told me later you were sad when you found out I was dating someone, but that was in October, 2010 In January we shared a first kiss. My mom walked in on us, remember? Then, in march, I came out to see you for your birthday. That was pretty funny. But your friends hated me. Remember the drawing you did in the car of the two of us and your friend? I remember the music was playing so loud in the car I had a headache, but all I wanted to do was hold you. I was 15. We had been together a month and a half or so at that point. We told each other so many secrets. We had a difficult relationship - I know now that I had a lot of issues to work out then. I'm sorry I called you an idiot that one time over skype before the meet up in Japan town. And when I was in Italy. I tried to call you on skype as often as I could but, with school, and the time difference, it was hard. I sent you letters as often as possible. I sent you bracelets as well, I had gotten them in Florence. One letter I sent had a kiss mark for each day I was gone - so you wouldn't have to go a day without a kiss from me. I think I was seventeen when you proposed to me on the beach. I would have married you then and there. Sometimes, I miss you more than anything. Your kisses, your touch, the way you curled next to me when you slept. But... things are different now. From what I understand, you detest me. I don't blame you. I ended up being a shithead to you, and in a few relationships that followed - none of which lasted very long, usually because of me. I lost friends, too. Kaya, Cody, Griffin (well, he was dating you at that point but, anyways) to name a few. I'm sorry for how I treated you at the end. I'm sorry for not being able to let you go after you ended it. I don't expect you to answer this. I just hope you read it. I'm sorry. WE are sorry. All of us. Still here, inside. It's a little less crazy now. But we still think of you. Some more than others. I hope someone shows this to you. Happy birthday, Arty. I hope it's a great one @fluffyillustrator

My Top Games of 2022

With today being the last day of 2022 for me, I thought that it would be a good idea to look back on the year of releases (and games that I finally got around to playing) to see which ones really left their impact on me. There are a few games on this list that weren't released this year, but had been in my backlog for quite a bit. These are all titles that I feel deserved to be played one way or another, especially when it comes to the indie titles.

So without further ado, here are my top ten games of 2022!

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 (Switch)

While my list of favorite games for 2022 tend to be pretty fluid, changing ranks as my feelings shift, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is the only one that I can definitely say is my top game of the year. It is a full package RPG experience for me: wonderful story, fun combat, gorgeous art, and beautiful music. In a lot of ways, I wish I was able to experience this game again for the first time. Noah and Mia dragged out a lot of feelings for me and the ending really took me through the wringer.

Beacon Pines (Switch)

The art was the very first thing that caught my attention with this game. I have a love for anthropomorphic characters and had nothing but high hopes coming into this game. But don't let the cute characters fool you, for there is something sinister lurking in the shadows that you have to unravel. Beacon Pines is a fun experience, getting to explore the areas around the town and interact with the story in a way that brings back memories of crafting your own story (although not as extensive as one may hope). It is definitely an indie title that I would urge everyone check out.

Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen (Steam)

Utawarerumono is a series that has haunted me for a while now. I'd always wanted to jump right in, given that it's a tactics game and I have my love for the genre. But there always seemed like there was another game to capture my attention in the moment. Finally though, I dedicated some time to this game and came out wanting to plow through the rest of the series. The characters are all lovable in their own way, and while there is a bit of anime nonsense that occurs, it doesn't overstay its welcome. This is a series that knows how to mix the lighthearted moments with the serious ones without cheapening either experience. While the tactics gameplay is a bit simplistic, there's enough strategy to keep me enthralled outside of the story moments.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land (Switch)

I am a huge Kirby fan, and so when it was announced that Kirby would finally be wandering into the 3D realm a la Mario Odyssey, I was ecstatic. Sure, there have been some hiccups in Kirby's lifetime, but I had no doubt that this would at least be a fun experience. And what fun it was! Exploring through the vast worlds of the Forgotten Land was so much fun and I really enjoyed the collectible aspect of it. While I am a bit sad that I only got a glimpse of Meta Knight in the Coliseum, I am happy to see my favorite broody knight nonetheless.

Citizen Sleeper (Switch)

This is another indie title that I have been shouting to the heavens for more people to play. Text-based RPGs seem to be making their comeback and I am all here for it. Being smack dab in the center of a space colony, all you have are the clothes on your back and a target on your head. What you do from there is mostly up to you and your luck. There are a lot of storylines to explore, from figuring out how to dodge any possible assassins coming for your head to figuring out whether you want to stay in this colony or leave at the first chance you get. Whether you get the outcomes you hope for though comes down to the roll of the dice.

Please Be Happy (Steam)

I love a good visual novel, and even more so, a good romance story. Please Be Happy is a story of a fox girl who finds herself in Wellington and with it, a new home unbeknownst to her. It's a touching story about finding love in the places you least expect it, but not just romantic love. There's just as much emphasis on love for family and friends, something that isn't touched as much in visual novels.

AI: The Somnium Files – nirvanA Initiative (Switch)

As I tend to do, I jumped into nirvanA Initiative without playing the first Somnium Files game and came out of it very sweaty for Date. So I will go back and eventually play the first game. But this game, oh boy. The rollercoaster ride that I was taken through with the story was absolutely wild. I love to turn my brain off when it comes to accepting the world around me in stories, and as a result, I was slapped in the face when I eventually got to the twist in this story. While I do have feelings about how it was handled, I was definitely enthralled the entire way through. And of course, I do love a good mystery that gets my brain thinking.

The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story (Switch)

A good mystery game is one of my favorite things. I love being able to take in a scene and trying to piece together what happened and why it happened. It doesn't matter whether it was entirely predictable or an utter twist. As long as the mystery is well done, my hat will be tipped. The actual gameplay is a bit frustrating at times, but I really loved how the entire story of the Shijima family was tied together through the ages. And it being an FMV, something that isn't done all that often, was the cherry on top.

Triangle Strategy (Switch)

As a tactics fan, it's only natural that I include Triangle Strategy in this line up. Out of all the tactics games that I've played this year, this one has to be one of the best in terms of gameplay. The maps were fantastic, the combat was engaging, and the art was a full on chef’s kiss. This is truly an example of a tactics game that does its combat right. And the exploration and judgement scales sections were cute as well, even though the NPCs sought to divert my path many times, much to my stress.

My Vow to My Liege (Steam)

Do you have the urge to cry? How about feel despair up until the last moments of the story? Well then, I have just the visual novel for you! This game will take you through the wringer. Honestly, if you love otome visual novels, I would say go into this one without looking too deeply into the plot. The first playthrough of this game was one that I won't forget emotionally. All of the characters are amazing and the MC herself is one of my favorites that I've played. Gosh, if she was a love interest in another game, I'd want to date her myself.

Kimagure Temptation (Steam)

This is another visual novel that I would recommend jumping into without digging too deeply into the plot. Yes, there are anime tiddies. Don't let that deter you though! This is a competently put together visual novel and I found myself coming for the fanservice, and staying for the story. That's not to say the fanservice isn't nice, albeit a bit...awkward with the sounds. But! It's still a good game to check out. It's filled with mystery, intrigue, and even a touch of sadness.

Coffee Talk (Switch)

This was another game that I put off playing for a bit. So finally getting to play through Coffee Talk was such a relaxing experience. Being able to craft the perfect drink in the moment for one of your customers and friends is really nice. But it's not just coffee that you're delivering, but also a support system for when things get tough for them. Life can get hard for all of us, and having a warm place to relax and take your mind off the stressors is a blessing.

Wrap Up

2022 was amazing when it comes to games. There were a lot of other titles that I was excited to talk about, but just couldn’t talk about in my top ten, like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, Chained Echoes, Chaos;Head Noah, Validate, and many more. And with 2023 on the horizon, there are going to be even more titles that I’m excited to experience as well.

What games caught your attention this year?
