EA's NHL series feels like it's slowly distancing itself more and more from the NHL and going more of the FIFA route for a wide variety of hockey around the world.
2K and HB Studios have made the necessary additions and changes to make PGA TOUR 2K23 the best in the series.
On the field, EA Sports has offered an even deeper and more immersive experience with FIFA 23.
NBA 2K23 is the game the community has been wanting, but that hardcore community is far more advanced than any casual player looking to just play a basketball game.
Madden NFL 23 takes a few good steps forward, but seems to forget other aspects that will hopefully be addressed in the future.
What makes F1 22 great are the improvements to the core technical aspects.
Evil Dead: The Game is undoubtedly the best Evil Dead game yet.
MotoGP 22 is the best game in the series to date, but is hampered by its aging core design.
MLB The Show 22 continues the tradition of being an excellent emulation of the sport of baseball, but this is another year without major changes.
Moss: Book II builds on the revolutionary platform VR title that the original was, but ultimately keeps the game safe and grounded without letting it get out of hand.

Based on the current model of Monster Energy Supercross 5 that dates back to its inception, this may be the most complete version of the game despite its legacy issues.

Codemasters has put a good amount of thought into reinventing the GRID experience.
Motorsport Games have invested a lot into racing games in hopes of offering plenty of options for racers.
After The Fall is yet another zombie VR shooter in the line of zombie VR shooters.
