The year 2023 is almost coming to an end and here we are once again to share with you the games that have captivated us the most over these 12 months. As usual, we ask you to share with us the games you have enjoyed the most this year and we reciprocate by sharing a bit of our reality as gamers.
This 2023 has been a year of pure excellence, with many popular titles making a comeback to spread magic. After a calmer 2022, we had a year full of energy and whether with remakes, remasters, new properties, or the most famous names in the world of interactive entertainment, there were plenty of incentives to escape to other realities.
These choices also serve as a mirror to our soul, showing the games that have dazzled us the most and also revealing the genres we most enjoy spending our time with.
With a wide variety of tastes and curiosity for new experiences, we try to play a little bit of everything, from colossal-scale titles to the smallest and most adorable indies. After all, escaping to other universes and allowing our minds to dream of other lives is one of the greatest pleasures of video games.
On this page, I share my choices, Adolfo Soares, with Dead Space Remake in the spotlight. I am a true horror game enthusiast, something also evident in my appreciation for the unmissable Alan Wake 2. And to demonstrate the breadth of my preferences, it is mandatory to mention EA Sports WRC, which once again brings the passion of rally to all fans of the genre.
### Dead Space (remake)
The choice of Dead Space Remake as my game of 2023 may raise questions for some, essentially due to the fact that it is not the original version, but a reconstruction of the masterpiece that has stood the test of time until today, brought back to life by the talented hands of Motive Studios. This choice represents a personal encounter with the best of a horror and survival game. It has the unique ability to instill feelings of despair and anguish in the player, to awaken fear of the unknown, and to explore the darkest corners of our deepest nightmares. Dead Space Remake gathers everything one could wish for in this genre, making it an interactive work of art that involves us and transports us into a whirlwind of emotions and memorable experiences.

In addition to this choice for Game of the Year, we also present honorable mentions, titles that have also dazzled each member of the team. Passion has a lot to say in the choices and the life experiences of each individual mirror the individualization of those choices, so consider this as a reflection of who we are:
**Honorable Mentions:**
– **Alan Wake 2** – This second chapter of the Alan Wake saga is one of those games that deeply transforms us, keeping us uneasy throughout the entire journey. The visual richness is the first captivating element, but we are quickly drawn into a narrative that deepens in a disconcerting way, demanding all our attention. The seemingly dispersed threads, with no apparent connection to events, reveal themselves as intertwined lines, connected by a journey that unites each point. As the story unfolds, these threads begin to converge towards the same destination, giving rise to a complex and interconnected plot. It is more than a visual experience, it is an immersion in the art of storytelling through a video game, an experience that transforms us and rewards us for the appreciation of a unique narrative.
