Wow, 97 games. I'm very grateful for the filtering options here. They even have tabletop games, fantastic job!

Which of these have people here played, and might recommend?

I'll never not recommend Dead Cells. The graphics are gorgeous and the gameplay has a ton of variety thanks to all the different upgrades you can pick up. The Castlevania tie in is just gravy.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom broke sales records, alongside blockbusters like Baldur's Gate 3, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Final Fantasy 16, Diablo 4, Street Fighter 6, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Resident Evil 4, Hogwarts Legacy and Dead Space.

SAG-AFTRA union actors authorized a strike against the industry's largest companies.

Microsoft closed the deal to buy Activision Blizzard King for $69 billion — the biggest gaming acquisition in history.

And as the year wound down, more than 6,000 game developers lost their jobs amid a wave of layoffs.

Throughout it all, NPR staff and contributors scrambled to review the year's unrelenting release schedule.

Packed with modern spectacles, far-flung indies and revitalized classics, there's something for everyone on this list.
