2023 was one of the best years for video games in a long time, and one of the three best games from this year is Alan Wake II. Gamers play as the titular novelist who is trying to escape an alternate dimension. But at the same time, a detective is investigating a murder that is suspiciously similar to one of Alan Wake’s murder mystery novels. [...] Video games continue to evolve more and more with each passing year, growing from classic titles such as The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time to modern sensations like Red Dead Redemption 2. While it is fascinating to see where gaming will go next, the past five years in particular have been home to some of the best games of all time. [...] 2021 was at the height of the pandemic, meaning a lot of gamers tried new titles due to the limitations of lockdown, which greatly benefitted It Takes Two, turning it into one of the best and most popular offerings. It is a masterclass of multiplayer gameplay that forces players to work together in fascinating and cooperative ways. The puzzles are fun and engaging, and the game is full of charm and heart, making it a masterpiece of the current half-decade.
