- IGN staff has voted we've officially chosen our choice for the Best Game of 2023. From 16 nominees to one winner, check out which game won our Game of the Year as well as the worthy runner-ups that came close to beating out our first choice pick during the voting.

The Day Before should be high on the list. IGN please make the worst game list.
The scam before
4 days after.
3 days in between
It would be a hard fight. Day Before, Gollum, Redfall, Forspoken, Kong, Walking Dead, The Last Hope.
This will be legendary
The Day Before the studio closed
Any year that Zelda, Mario and Larian release a new game, it is gonna be one of the best year of gaming PERIOD. Example: 2017: Breath of the wild, Mario Odessey, Divinity Original sins 2; 2023: Tears of the Kingdom, Mario Wonders, Baldur Gate 3.
Another proof that nintendo is the best game company
There's also the theory of whenever Horizon series drops a new game, there will be a GOTY release shortly after. 2017 came Horizon Zero Dawn, and shortly after 3 weeks later, BOTW came out and was GOTY. Horizon Forbidden West came out in 2022 and shortly after, Elden Ring came out and was GOTY

Man this year was really stacked with amazing games.
This year was interesting, it a lot of amazing games and bad games.
such as???????????????????
Paradoxically, the industry is facing pain
@@largin386are u blind, deaf and living under a rock?
2022 was better
The fact that they achieved this on such old tech is a feat of its own.
10 million copies sold in 3 days for a reason.
Im glad you didnt just include Starfield on the nominated list like everyone else. It shouldnt be in the same coversation as BG3/TOTK etc
just like spider man 2, they're both 7s at best.
@@FrankGarrett72 go and play with traffic pal. Probably bit more your speed init
@@DonHaci spider-man maybe an 8. Although honestly...it was pretty mid
@@DonHaciSpider-Man 2 is actually a 8/10 unlike midfield💀
@@FrankGarrett72how is it busywork? It’s a fantastic sandbox full of awesome exploration and puzzles.
Look to Hogwarts Legacy or Spiderman 2 if you want to see busywork. Side content in those games is various levels of shallow busywork.
Looking back at 2023 will show it was one hell of a year for gamers!
This year's only rival is 2018 ngl
Fair. The amount of content in this game is incredible.
like 5 enemy types lmao
@@CustomGameNight bro clearly never played TOTK
@@CustomGameNight Just becuase you cant count past 5 doesnt mean there aren't more types ingame.
@@gwnsharpy6170 lol clearly you haven’t
@@CustomGameNightEnemies section in the Hyrule compendium has literally 110 entries ☠️
TOTK deserved it so much
Spiderman 2 coudn't even win the ign game awards 💀
Still better than shitfield
A great game but it's the same thing (mostly) as the previous ones.
@@ChrissakaEnDeD there's no better for them, both mid anyway
Could've at least added Spiderman 2 in the runner up.
Only 1 game wins it
This is the best, TOTK is the best, is very well deserved
Lmao no
Lol yes
Rofl no
Tear of the kingdom is simply beautiful
What an insane year for games. All of the entries on here are super worthy, and that doesn't even include Hi-Fi Rush, Cocoon, Viewfinder, Dead Space, Star Wars Jedi Survivor, Super Mario Wonder, Hogwarts Legacy, and Spider-Man 2!
@Maarij. The opinions of the people on staff. They have to have a cut-off somewhere.
Even after playing through so many other great titles this year, TOTK takes the cake for me as well. It's just a uniquely beautiful masterpiece in every way. Well deserved win!
Congratulations Nintendo, Mr Aonuma and Loz team!!
What an amazing year for gaming. TotK isn’t my #1, I didn’t love the building and so the game being so focused on it deterred me from doing a lot of the open world puzzle solving. The main temples are phenomenal however, and the game is certainly a technical anomaly. Still don’t understand how this is running on my switch.
Baldur’s Gate 3 won TGA 2023 GOTY while TOTK won IGN’s Best Game of 2023
In the words of a mad titan named Thanos, “Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.”
Yassss.. its not about hardware or platform, its all about game itself, and TOTK well deserved to win this year.. better you should start playing it before make any comment 🤭
Totk absolutely deserved it
Zelda is GOTY imo.
Kinda sad that Alan Wake 2 didn’t win any GOTY awards, visually and writing wise, it’s one of the most impressive games I’ve played in a long time.
It’s not that fun to play (IMO)
I’ve been playing video games for almost 30 years and Tears of the Kingdom is the best one so far. ❤ Fully agree with the editors on this one!
This is the correct answer!
Totk goty
Totk is in fact the best this year
It is in fact, not the best this year.
@@Karlach_ it is in fact the best of the decade you're right
@@sagacr6333 Baldur's gate 3 >>>>>>>your dlc
@@rbggsc6719 no
Phantom liberty came out MONTHS after TOTK, not “a few weeks after”…
You are not thinking like a gamer... months become weeks wen ur immersed into something. And this year kept us busy af.
I'm here to read the haters who never played Zelda and by coincidence new BG fans arguments in the comments ! Can't wait for "it's a DLC" and "BotW2". Their classics ❤️ they deep down know that their PS3 looking point and click topdown board game robbed the Goty so they have to say something even if it's totally wrong
This kid has never played bg3 lmao
@@danielwoods3896 probably can be your father. played it and got bored to death. why roast urself so hard ?
BG3 makes the Game industry fear of what a no greedy studio can do, and reserve the price, but TOTK is a great Game to
Crazy strong year for gaming. TOTK was my GOTY by far as well.
Well deserved!
for me, it Resident Evil 4 on the PSVR2 - a great game made even better in VR!!
How scary was it in VR?
TOTK so well deserved, the building mechanics alone and the way those systems interact are insane.
That’s all what that game is. Building mechanics.
What is even more insane is the fact that nintendo can make the most lame and lazy game ever ( in 6 years development time )and get away with it
@@AhmedBinMosad tf are you talking about ?
@@igoldenknight2169 huh ?
@@AhmedBinMosadlazy? lame? sounds like baldurs gate 3
NGL, pulled up this video thinking BG3 was gonna win. But, as many smart people have said just looking at the runner's up list at the end this year was a banger year.
Simple question: would you buy a switch just to play the 2 LOZ games?
Zelda totk the best ! Amazing year for gamers.
Spider-Man 2 is solid. But Tears is 1000x Better
ZELDA IS PEAK
Is cyberpunk’s a DLC? What’s the distinction? It’s also sad how most of these games are action adventure in a year that had awesome JRPGs
Great choice and worthy contenders! It’s been a terrific gaming year
The new best game of all time. You can update the IGN top 100 list. #1 TOTK #2 BOTW
does anyone know the cyberpunk music in the background?? most prominent at 02:13
TOTK is my personal GOTY as well. But boy this year had many incredible titles each worthy of GOTY titles too.
What's that

Alan Wake 2 and Baldurs Gate 3 the best of the best. And total disaster is Starfield.
Keep on crying pony, 3 months later
2 amazing gamecube remakes in 1 year, Metroid Prime Remastered and Resident Evil 4, and yet RE 4 mentioned everywhere while the godly Metroid Prime Remake is never shown. mainstream bias
Agreed. Metroid Prime Remastered was fantastic. A high point this year and for the Switch overall for sure.
completely agreed with this choice
There were game awards?
The fact that major game developers shiat on BG3 and told their fan bases not to expect that type work and dedication within their own games goes to show you BG3 is the true game of the year, and possibly the past decade.
Exactly. IGN just wanted to be different. Losers.
There were so many games that needed to win like gollum Walking Dead and Kong Skull Island
dont forget avatar quest for balance !
The latest one ‘The Day before’
@@sohrabjitsinghbhullar3259I was about to comment this xD
At least they put the average ones on top to make up for missing out these gems u mentioned lol
Lies of P was my game this year!
so much saltness in the comments.
Fr. Mostly Zelda fans that have never played BG3 that feel like they’ve been robbed.
Can’t agree more! People forgot how amazing this game was way too early in the year. Great to see it get the recognition it deserves!
The discourse would be completely different if TOTK had been released after BG3
No it’s just a bad game/pointless if you waited 6 years.
@@GoronMerchanthow is it bad and pointless? That is an absurd claim that you’d struggle immensely to justify.
The crucial thing missing from Breath of the Wild in TOTK is the ZEN!! Breath of the Wilds exploration was ZEN AF and TOTK is too busy and overstuffed. Pro-Tip: Turn on "Pro Mode" for the display and it becomes much more immersive.
AGREED.
Ghostrunner 2 is the real game of the year, ign just forgot that it came out this year.
Thanks IGN 🎉
Dang right it is!
Zelda!!! Let’s Gooooo!!!! 😊. This has been a great year for gaming!!!
2023 was a great year for gamers
Well deserved
IGN speakin' truth
Hi IGN, Please take a look at Night of the Slayers, too
This post is everything you need to read IGN...
So since I'm waiting till mid 25' for GTA 6 can we get Scarface the game :remastered 🙏🏻in pretty sure I'm not the only one who wants that
Wait... so apparently May 12th (Zelda TOTK release) and September 26th (cyberpunk PL release) are only a few weeks apart? Someone get this guy a calendar.
Now we're talking! ❤
i'm just here to witness the battle between Baldur's Gate 3 fans and Nintendo Fans
I'd preferred if this whole video was dedicated to Zelda and why it is IGN's GOTY, maybe few employees can share their experience with it, rather than having to mention other games. There is already a previous video for all the nominated games.
The other games got mentions as they were closer to winning than the other nominees.
IGN did weeks and hours of coverage on Zelda when it was released
Well deserved! Nice one IGN.
What's th name of the opening song?
Legend of Zelda always 🎉
Always being outdated and mid 🎉
@@Karlach_ Yes, the biggest mid of all, it's just the best rated franchise in history
It's definitely my game of the year aswell
This is just a real award game💯🔥
There's no real award game. Every show has their version. In the end, the real game of the year is the game that we enjoy the most through this year.
Why? Because the game you personally prefer won?
@@yoelchristian6332sorry sir your comment is too logical. Are you sure you’re in the right place?
@@apotato4939 What do you think?
Super Mario Wonder is the best game if 2023
I’m so happy TOTK won a game of the year
Only with IGN. Everyone else gave it to BG3 lmao
@@Karlach_ it is pretty annoying that people keep screaming to vote it for GOTY though like its a damn election. Wish RE4make got that type of love but it also came out much earlier in the year.
If its by the voting process them ofc TOTK wins , its way WAY easier to get into for majority of people than BG3
Sounds like a better game then. End of day game should be fun and if you can’t get into it then you can’t get to the fun part.
Lmao, Player Voice at TGA speaks different.
@@yoelchristian6332 not to burst your bubble but as dumb as it sounds the player vote is only 10%, judges are the other 90%
@@rjh9919 Lmao dude, next time check your sources. Player Voice technically are the votes pure from People, not Judges.
@@rjh9919Wrong. He's talking about the Player Voice Award which is 100% voted by gamers. The other awards are the 90/10 you mentioned. But with that in mind, players all over the world agreed with the critics at TGA.
Well done IGN, totally agree with the choice. Thank you for recognizing a game which will be remembered as a mind blowing game in a 2017 portable console, making the impossible to run it with the best physics ever seen. And of course... We can't forget the memorable moments Ganondorf and Rauru left to us. Game period
IGN on point with this one
yay totk
Great choice but would have included Spider Man 2 in the list especially if Phantom Liberty qualified as a new game.
Thank you Portkey for Hogwarts Legacy ❤️
100% agree!
Facts
WTF IGN Could have waited til the ACTUAL end of the year for the release of hungry hungry hippos HD 😡
Spiderman cant catch a break sheeeeiiiitt!!!!
The competition was strong
IGN GOT IT RIGHT
Well-deserved GOTY winner.
Keep in mind that ign gave botw there best game of all time on the list so say thats this game is basically better might mean they think its the greatest game of all time..... I'm also kinda in that camp so I'm not complaining.
When you need to explain how TotK is different than BotW…
Yeah which is silly because there’s a massive number of differences and new content.
@@mick9707 Reused map though is unforgiveable. Should not be a precedent for the industry going forward.
@@kairiamane3058 well in this case it arguably is forgivable. Apart from the fact it’s one of the best open world maps of all time; what you do in it has also been changed drastically, and HUGE amounts of new content and areas have been added as well. Even if they removed the map from the last game, you’re still getting a game and content better than the vast majority of what released this year.
Because those who haven't played it at all, all they say is "it's the same game" when it's so not.
Sad not one mention of Octopath Traveler 2
My big complaints with the first OP were that the stories were entirely disconnected from each other, and some basic battles were absolute grindfests. Was any of this fixed in the sequel?
@@thaddeusbligh7576 nope
Wheres the saved you a click guy?
The True GOTY 👌
Agreed, If BG3 didn't exist.👍
400 developers is a smallish studio?
"Level of quality the studio is known for" Are you kidding me Cyberpunk was totally broken upon release!
Have you not played the Witcher 2 and 3? You said that like they only made cyberpunk...why would you say that? Knowing they made 2 top level rpg's?
Unless you didn't know, and you're some dude bro pretending to know games lol
Hell cyberpunk ate alot of games lunch also from everything it was achieving in the open world rpg space. As proven by its current state, as the writing and direction hasn't changed.
Cheers, IGN! Couldn't agree more 🎉 I've been playing games for a very long time, but Tears of the Kingdom has topped them all.
DEAD SPACE REMAKE NOT BEING MENTIONED WAS A CRIME
Any Goty 2023 video that includes Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty is a huge W in my book 😂
Also, honestly, 2023 feels like one of those years where both ToTK and BG3 deserve the Games of the Year for how bold they are as Triple A games. Triple A games that respect the player and empower them.
Spiderman2 for my vote.
TOTK IS AMAZING ❤️
Totk is my game of the year as well
u didnt even mention totk music design it's killa man that rito boss song is some Wagner shet
LETS GOOOO TOTK!! WELL DESERVED
Final Fantasy 16 was GOTY material.
