It depends on one's perspective. For me, those small indie games are games I'm looking forward to, whereas BG3 is 'meh'. Plus there is also Starfield, which is the big game I'm looking forward to this year.
Or rather what you define as "big year in gaming". As much as am interested in new game from Mimimi and couple others I don't expect them to be big in the way Elden Ring was.
Starfield is the big unknown, so I don't count it yet as we have seen nothing of it. It might be great it might be not. Bethesda hasn't had a great record recently - let's just hope that Starfield won't follow the trend.
All I know is that:
A) it was delayed B) MS is reportedly pushing Bethesda to release it as soon as they can rather than when it’s ready
I hope it’s good. I had a lot of fun with Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Skyrim, but Fallout 4 was so disappointing and I’m afraid Bethesda might be going through a prolonged rough patch.
When I say it’s a big year, I’m not only saying it’s a big year for me personally, but it’s objectively a big year for the industry. Lots of games I’m not interested in (Street Fighter 6, Diablo 4, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Hogwart’s Legacy, Assassin’s Creed Mirage and others) have or will release this year. 2023 is abnormally stacked with big name titles.
