A Plague Tale: Requiem.
To be fair, 2023 was the year I played the most games I'd consider masterpieces, so the list goes on, but Requiem got up there immediately as my favourite ever and it's been "living in my head rent-free" ever since.

A Plague Tale: Requiem.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales got its Steam release in November of last year, but I didn’t get to it until after New Years. The Steam Deck handled it really well, which just makes me pissed that Insomniac signed a PlayStation exclusivity agreement for Spider-Man 2.
Guild wars 2. I’ve loved the new expansion though it is short.
Just started this one but Afterimage is becoming a big favorite of mine. A really great Metroidvania game.
Older, but also played Frostpunk. It's a really great twist on a city building game. Highly recommended.
One odd ball I'll throw out is Last Case of Benedict Fox. It's a complete mess of a game, but the exploration and puzzles are a lot of fun. I never realized how much I want a metroidvania where you go around just solving puzzles. If LCBF just dropped all combat and focused on puzzle-solving it would have been a lot better.
Y'all gotta play The Finals. It's so much fuckin fun. I'd honestly been pretty bored with games until recently when it was released
Counterpoint: that game was so boring, it briefly made me play OW2 again just for contrast.
The one I've sunk the most hours in gotta be Overwatch. The one that sucked me in the quickest is Valheim
For me it still has to be grim dawn. I play so many games and I get bored with all of them but grim Dawn has been very consistent. And the idea of a DLC coming out is phenomenal. The latest update also added a shit ton of quality of life changes that just make it even more fun to play.
Stacklands.
City Skylines 2
