GOTY 2023
What to say? I echo for those that are following the video game industry that it’s been an incredible year for games yet shit for the thousands of employees who lost their jobs due to the company's unrealistic expectations. Personally, I’ve had a terrible time dealing with numerous internal family issues that have hampered my ability to play games in my current residence. I also did my best to refrain from buying too many games as I am preparing for a goal to move out of my current residence to an apartment. In terms of games I played that were released this year, it was a very slow start but then I picked up the pace as much as I could in the second half of the year.
