Even though I'm vowing to spend a lot less on gaming this year (aside from Tears of the Kingdom and the Valve Index I just ordered), I'm still thrilled to see a lot of these games at least be played by you and many others!
The exploration in Dark Souls 1 is pretty good and so is the interconnected world. 😊 I still haven’t finished Dark Souls 2, Bloodborne and I haven’t even touched 3 yet but I *very* much look forward to playing Elden Ring someday! 😊👍
omg you're going to finish stray!? so excited! I was just rewatching the playlist the other night and wondering if it was gone for good... though I know you must have a million games on your plate as this video suggests!
Extremely excited for Starfield. Bethesda is probably tied for my favorite game studio of all time, I have loved their games since i was playing on my dad's pc, and could barely read and get through the games.
As someone who's very interested in story games and relatively recently got into roguelikes, Hades was incredible. Once you got the fundamentals down, the gameplay was pretty forgiving, which I liked as a newer player to the genre. That being said, there was A LOT of optional difficulty there that I dabbled in, with getting into the heat levels to unlock more of the weapons and the various upgrades for them while progressing through the story. I'm super excited to hear about a sequel!
Hope to see you see some more “exploration” vids in MMORPG’s like GW2, NW, etc but also driving Euro Truck, etc. Missing “series” from your side - but don’t get me wrong: love your channel!
The early EA Harry Potter games were awesome back in the day. Truly magical. They were probably the best EA games besides American McGee’s Alice and Alice: Madness Returns.
I think we're about the same age, so the games you grew up with resonate, especially when you talk about games like Kotor and Diablo. Our lists are fairly similar, and Starfield is my number 2, but FF16 will be my number 1. Long live FF.
Man.. It’s gonna be a gooood year for gaming, I’m so excited for almost everything 😂 rip wallet, I absolutely cannot afford them all so I’ll have to be very selective.. Thankyou for bringing us this great gaming ramble! I love listening these and hearing your thoughts for the year. Happy Gaming! 🎮
Not gonna lie: as a trans person, my heart sank when you mentioned the upcoming HP game. But I gotta say, I appreciate that you (even vaguely) referenced JKR's vitriol and your own complicated feelings regarding it. Despite this not being a place for political arguments, I appreciate that you recognised the controversy and included even a brief mention of it. It for sure made me feel better. :) All this is to say, thanks as always for your content! Your channel is one of my favourites and I appreciate how honest/fair you are when making your judgements. I just bought my first new keyboard in ten years because I liked one video you did so much, haha!
My most anticipated game for 2023 is definitely Blue Protocol. Of course there's still a lot we don't know about it, maybe it won't be any good, but I'm hopeful.
Play test rumors for starfield said it was incredible and their best yet. Can't wait. Hope they put that Microsoft first party money to good use. Stalker 2, starfield, redfall, halo infinite season 3 and 4, atomic heart, first half 2023 for gamepass, final fantasy 16 on PlayStation for the first half of 2023.
Certified first indeed! 🥇 And I knew you'd be salty about no Suicide Squad on my list 😂 I totally get why you're hyped about it, objectively it looks great and Rocksteady has a great reputation. But the truth is it's just not my kind of game. I never got big into the Arkham games. But who knows, maybe Suicide Squad will be the one to change my mind? Guess we'll see!
I wasn't to like Jedi survivor, but idk. Fallen order felt like a watered down soul/sekiro with some metroidvania. Problem with the metroidvania influence is all the back tracking is monotonous and not streamlined and it rewards you with merely cosmetic things. The point of metroidvania backtracking is using new skills to find other new skills, upgrades or new areas. Other than the dualsaber, fallen order just didn't have that.
I agree with your stance on JK Rowling. Personally, I will not support her in any way, which includes purchasing the game. The game itself does look pretty nice though. I'll probably just watch footage of it, or maybe borrow it from someone.
On the Hogwarts Legacy website, Avalanche and WB have stated that JK Rowling will NOT have any involvement in HL. Also, I highly recommend you take a look at the game Manor Lords. It unfortunately has no release date as the developer is just 1 man, but it's basically Banished with the ability to to first person and see you're town as you're people do
She may not be involved but there’s gotta be some sort of revenue she’s getting from the sales of this game. She’s the one who made it up. I could be wrong but I feel like there would be a whole lot of legal stuff behind it all
huge fan of your content but if youre going to bring jk rowling into this can you actually point out where she made one derogatory statment on trans people? I have yet to read one

So worth it. DS1 is really cool and bloodborne is also a great aventure! Elden ring is also beautiful, hope you get to play all
Always look forward to these, loved the retrospective too. Keep them up man, cheers from a couple hrs north of you on VI
omg you're going to finish stray!? so excited! I was just rewatching the playlist the other night and wondering if it was gone for good... though I know you must have a million games on your plate as this video suggests!
Absolutely, I'm gonna finish it! I promise :)
I cant wait for Armored Core 6, that's probably top of my list. Followed by Jedi Survivor and Diablo IV
Hell yes. Love these. One of my favorite types of videos you do. Thank you!
I too am a sucker for "another skeleton on a toilet"! Looking forward to Starfield. Good list!
Great video, already looking forward to next year's :)

The early EA Harry Potter games were awesome back in the day. Truly magical. They were probably the best EA games besides American McGee’s Alice and Alice: Madness Returns.
MY fave games of 2022 were Sonic Frontiers and A Plague Tale Requiem.
I am looking forward to Star Wars and FFXVI
Another Twilight Princess style Zelda game would be *AMAZING!* 😍
I think we're about the same age, so the games you grew up with resonate, especially when you talk about games like Kotor and Diablo. Our lists are fairly similar, and Starfield is my number 2, but FF16 will be my number 1. Long live FF.
So many games I didn't even know about, but very interested in nevertheless!! Excited to check them out
Let's start the best Sunday ever!
Im not even a huge harry potter fan, but I am definitely looking forward to playing this! Also Baldur's Gate 3 :D
Nick I recommend the Plague Tale games, amazing stories and atmosphere and they’re also decently short. Requiem was one of the best games of the year

One of my TOP 10 Most Anticipated video of 2023! 😁

And I will still always zoom in on that skeleton on the toilet too. Great list!
I'm super early for once! Thanks for all you do Nick!
You're super welcome!
My most anticipated game for 2023 is definitely Blue Protocol. Of course there's still a lot we don't know about it, maybe it won't be any good, but I'm hopeful.
Brilliant video nick. Agree about elden ring. Utter gem of a game
Yes yes yes a thousand times yes
im stoked for diablo 4 too cant wait for it
Sons of the forest and RE4 remake🔥🔥🔥
Love the list! I also can't wait for Diablo 4 to release! Also, if you don't mind me asking, what metal bands do you listen to?
I'm so excited for star wars jedi survivor the first game was so amazing 🥰
My most anticipated game is Wukong Black Myth for sureeee have you heard much about that game?
Absolutely!
Play test rumors for starfield said it was incredible and their best yet. Can't wait. Hope they put that Microsoft first party money to good use.
Stalker 2, starfield, redfall, halo infinite season 3 and 4, atomic heart, first half 2023 for gamepass, final fantasy 16 on PlayStation for the first half of 2023.
Zelda Twilight Princess was a darker Zelda game.
First! And still a sin that there is no suicide squad in here 😤😤 | holy f not even honourable mentions 😭
Certified first indeed! 🥇 And I knew you'd be salty about no Suicide Squad on my list 😂 I totally get why you're hyped about it, objectively it looks great and Rocksteady has a great reputation. But the truth is it's just not my kind of game. I never got big into the Arkham games. But who knows, maybe Suicide Squad will be the one to change my mind? Guess we'll see!
@@theASMRnerd i see, although you should really try Arkham asylum
Kerbal space program 2 is at the top of my list
Diablo 4 and it's not even remotely close. I have over seven days logged in D3 😅 I'm so excited to get my teeth into new Diablo content!!!
I’m excited for atomic heart. It caught my eye when it was first announced so I’m excited it’s coming!
I wasn't to like Jedi survivor, but idk. Fallen order felt like a watered down soul/sekiro with some metroidvania. Problem with the metroidvania influence is all the back tracking is monotonous and not streamlined and it rewards you with merely cosmetic things. The point of metroidvania backtracking is using new skills to find other new skills, upgrades or new areas. Other than the dualsaber, fallen order just didn't have that.
Just gotta hope they don't create a massive unplayable paywall for diablo 4 lol
Witcher 1 remake for me
With you on the whole JK Rowling thing, dude. Still curious to hear what the game is like though 👍🏻
Still don't understand what people have against her, nothing she has said was hateful or unreasonable.
@@lithium84 This isn't the platform for such discourse, but let's agree to disagree on that one.
@@primateboogaloo Nothing to disagree with. She did nothing wrong. It's that simple.
when did speaking up for women's spaces and safety become a bad thing?
@@WhippyWhipGamingterf alert
I'm super hyped to get into Diablo with 4!!! Starfield and Hogwarts, Spiderman2, and ect. I'm all hyped for!
I Like Your Video...

Armored Core 6 is this year right? That’s my 1. Then Starfield, then Zelda, then Jedi.
Solid top 4!
The Wii Avatar game sucked lol.
Damn, not H*gwarts Legacy, the transphobia fundraiser 😭
Manor Lords.
