These 30 games drew the most discussion and interest from our panel of more than two dozen PC Gamer editors. Some of them will get awards, revealed first in the next issue of PC Gamer, which you can subscribe to at under $4 per issue in the US.
If 2023 had a theme, it was its prestige independent games. In Neon White, Weird West, Immortality, Citizen Sleeper, Dwarf Fortress, and Vampire Survivors, we saw small studios going off-genre to make original, captivating games. This wasn’t another year where a trend like roguelikes made up a disproportionate amount of the indie output.
Keep your browser tuned to pcgamer.com as we prepare to reveal a new award winner each day through the end of the year, beginning next week.
