Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, Diablo 4, Alan Wake 2 and Baldur’s Gate 3 were among the best PC games of the year, but which took the top prize? It is BG3!
All misses for me. Maybe next year.

Yeah, I'm not sure why Phantom Liberty is in the running at all. Maybe because the 2.0 update was such a significant upgrade to the base game that they're classifying it as a new entry? I'm not really sure what else they're thinking.

Patting on the back for fixing a broken game is almost enabling game developers to release unfinished games only to finish them years later.

I’m not going to lie, I can’t remember the last time I had so much fun playing a shooter as I did playing Cyberpunk after the 2.0 patch and Phantom liberty DLC.
It became one of my top games of all time, and despite having finished it and trying to force myself to play something else, I’m itching to redownload it so I can get back to night city.
It took a while but I don’t think it should be excluded from the list just because of its original shortcomings. The game’s come a long way and it’s absolutely a contender for game of the year.
BG3 is still the well deserved winner though

Then they should go back in time and release the current version instead of the original. Phantom liberty is an expansion, 2.0 is a patch, neither is a game.

While I understand, Cyberpunk was released long before 2023. They already had their shot at this.

The Game Awards also treated it like a game. I think it’s giving it special treatment. Some DLCs like Freedom Cry were available without owning the base game, but that’s not even the case here.

I would have been surprised if that wasn’t #1

Baldur’s gate 3 was the best game of 2023. Saved you a click
