Two RPGs that are going to rock the world of gaming in 2023 🤯🎮👀

My senses stay on high alert when it comes to the latest and greatest video games released. 2023 is yet another massive year for gaming. When it comes to the potential game of the year contenders, I always look at the big-budget RPGs coming out for the year. There are many, but two of the best-looking games of the year both come out this month. I'm of course talking about Atomic Heart and Hogwarts Legacy.

Today we will talk about why each of these games must be taken seriously as GOTY winners. The competition will be thick as it is every single year, but I believe both of these games could have what it takes to pull out a valiant victory.

Let's talk about each game for a bit...

Atomic Heart

Here is what the official description for the game says:

Welcome to a utopian world of wonders and perfection, in which humans live in harmony with their loyal and fervent robots.

Well, that's how it used to be. With the launch of the latest robot-control system mere days away, only a tragic accident or a global conspiracy could disrupt it…

The unstoppable course of technology along with secret experiments have brought rise to mutant creatures, terrifying machines, and superpowered robots—all suddenly rebelling against their creators. Only you can stop them and find out what lies behind the idealized world.

Using the combat abilities granted by your experimental power glove, your arsenal of blades, and cutting-edge weaponry, fight for your life in explosive and frenetic encounters. Adapt your fighting style to each unique opponent. Combine your skills and resources, use the environment, and upgrade your equipment to overcome challenges and fight for good.

• An utopian world, both mad and sublime
• Visceral, spectacular, and unforgiving combat
• Blast giant machines and mutants using your multiple skills and advanced weapons
• Upgrade your arsenal and equipment

If that doesn't already have your attention, let me explain why I am so excited about this one. It mainly stems from the fact that the world in which the game takes place is just so damn cool to me. It's super futuristic and these are some of the most unique robot designs that I have ever seen in a game before. I get some serious Bioshock vibes from this but trust me when I say that Atomic Heart is in a league of its own.

The combat looks incredibly exciting and I'm sure there will be lots of upgrades to be had. It's said to take around 25 hours to complete, which is the ideal length of game for me. There will of course be extra content beyond the 25 hours of the main story.

If this game lives up to the hype that has surrounded it for the past few years, then it really might have a chance of winning game of the year. Then again, it could be another game that launches in terrible condition, but I pray that is not what happens. I have high hopes for the game and will be getting it at launch as long as the reviews that drop a few days before it comes out don't say to avoid it for a particular reason.

I'll leave you with the latest gameplay video for Atomic Heart. This will show you exactly why you need to keep this game on your radar.
