Exactly! His list is pure, unlike some who you can easily tell they are struggling to justify the pick or are scared of being judged to be a fanboy if it's an exclusive title.
Everyone's lists are great, but a big shout out to Greg and Mike's lists. They're so personal and are truly a representation of what makes KF so unique and special.
I like you all personally but the fact that you put BG3 #4 (which for me has been the best game out in years) clearly shows we don't look for the same things in videogames :D
I love to see a four-hour KF GOTY pod! Barrett and Andy killed the graphics as always, and it was great seeing Janet in the studio! One of my favorite episodes every year!
Holy shit. Not a single person on the team had Resident Evil 4 anywhere on their list??? That's honestly insane to me. Edit: nope, Tim had it on number 9... it's still unbelievable that it wasn't like top 5 overall.
I love these guys, even though i miss Colin because he brought different taste and opinions to the group! But these guys when it comes to Resident Evil, they dont have a clue. Resident Evil 4 original is legendary, and the Remake is pretty much as good! It is arguably the best game this year (to me it was). And Tim calling himself an Resident Evil fan is funny, because the games are never high on his list and he play the games way later then it came out. Resident Evil deserves better, especially RE4!
@TheAndyCortez - Your question about BG3 and how to get into the small holes -- you can do this as any character too! There's a 2-spell combo you can use: disguise as either a gnome or a halfling, then use the "Enlarge" spell but pick the "Reduce" option. Not only can you get into the small space, but you'll have the ability to keep using skills/things in your inventory (lockpicking, etc).
Got through the 10 and still an hour and a half to go but this is definitely the best format for a GOTY video you’ve done and the conversations had about the games. It’ll rub some people the wrong way but I prefer seeing some games higher / lower than you’d expect but to just hear why you love them is great, excited to finish
My first turn-based game ever, I tried the free demo because I knew how pretty the game was so I figured I'd give it a try. Great gameplay, beautiful visuals, lots of environmental and enemy variety, incredible soundtrack, and an emotional story. Loved it. @@PeachBootyPoppin
So Greg the PS guy chose an Xbox game, SBM the Xbox guy went with A PS game and Blessing the PC gamer went with a Nintendo title. what a wild year. one for the memory books for sure.
Awesome show! Y'all did the damn thing! I was wondering why Mike was so quiet for the top 10 discussions...then I saw his list 😂 Also, Janet needs to be in person more often.
Dead Island 2 slaps. Fun zombie bashing, looks great, runs great, good level design, some of the best environmental storytelling of the year, and a shockingly decent story.. People been sleeping on it all year. Glad Greg gave it some love.
One of my favorite pieces of content you guys do all year, loved it. Here's my personal list: 1. Tears of the Kingdom 2. Octopath Traveler II 3. Final Fantasy XVI 4. Armored Core VI 5. Lies of P 6. Blasphemous II 7. Spider-Man 2 8. Super Mario Bros Wonder 9. Street Fighter 6 10. Dredge Games that just missed the list: Sea of Stars, Jedi Survivor, Metroid Prime Remastered (still some of the greatest games of the past few years, what a wild year!) Honorable mentions: Gravity Circuit, Terra Nil, Super Mario RPG Remake Most disappointing: Diablo IV (I'll go back once they fix itemization) Games I still need to play: Dead Space, Resident Evil 4 remake, Cocoon, Like a Dragon Gaiden, Mortal Kombat 1, Chants of Senaar, Baldur's Gate 3
Great year for games. My list 1. BG3 2. Sea of Stars 3. AC6 4. Cyberpunk 5. RE4 6. Jedi Surv 7. Like a Dragon Ishin 8. FF16 9. Mario Wonder 10. Hi Fi Rush
My logic brain tells me that if there's a tie then it's supposed to just count as both that number and the next number... but my content brain wants as much excuses to talk about as much great games as possible
Awesome episode!!! Love you guys and this community. I really liked the individual top 10 analyzing this year rather than the honorable mentions. It was great to hear each person talk about the games they loved that got left out of the collective top 10.
Saying FF16 is the best FF ever is one part of Tim's ridiculous take here, then putting it at number 3 of a single year is a whole nether level of ridiculousness!
Every year I look forward to watch and listen to this. I love the way you all come up with the list and talking about the games and why they are on the list. 4 hours didn’t feel like four hours, because I enjoy this so much.
Greg talking about Starfield, pulled on my heart strings. I feel where he's coming from so f'n hard man. I love Starfield and I think I just crossed 300 hours into it, which is crazy. Awesome show everyone!
Agreed…I know it’s not perfect but there’s no game I played last year that made me feel the way starfield made me feel. That game had its claws in me for a month straight. And I mean if I wasn’t working or sleeping I was playing. I’m really happy it’s getting some love.
@@Spartan-qw2tr Yeah, I know it wasn't a seemless open world, but no other game even comes close to giving that same sense of freedom that Starfield gives. I know why it's been more hit and miss for some people, it's certainly more "you get out what you put in" than most Bethesda titles, but in my mind it's an absolutely incredible achievement that they got a game that ambitious as good as it was.
I love this talk especially doing it at the start of the year. I agree with the goty. It just came out at a time that I needed it. Great game that describes how great 2023 was.
I love how y'all do your GOTYs but man, it's definitely time to get a Nintendo guy on the KF crew because the fact that Mario Wonder didn't make a top 12 games of the year list is absolutely insane. And I mean a Nintendo guy who actually plays Nintendo games lol. Tim is a "Nintendo guy" but his tastes are so specific and he's so busy being one of the people running the company itself, he doesnt seem to have time to try to really dive in anymore. No Mario in here is just wild.
A Nintendo game won GOTY though, while I agree it would be cool to have a more dedicated Nintendo person on the crew like they have for PlayStation and Xbox. I feel that Mario Wonder not being in the Top 10 or Top 12 doesn't really have to do with not having a dedicated Nintendo person. You probably don't wanna watch Minnmax's Top 20 then, which Janet is also on, it didn't even make their Top 20, and this is also the case for several others that didn't make a Top 10 either. - Sean.
Fantastic show, y’all have been crushing it this year and it’s only the second week! It was sad seeing Janet leave PSILY at the end of the year but seeing her here and on the Prince of Persia review has been so great. One of the most insightful voices in the biz, love it when she collabs with KF!
Loved this because there was no conflict on the winner and list. And because it also shows just the love they have for video games, and the games that made them feel that.
Did not expect a show featuring Blessing Adeoye Jr. to have him only fourth in the drip rankings. Yes, I argue Greg's colour coordination and good fit makes his basic shirt and tie combo win over Blessing's admittedly killer bomber jacket + t-shirt. Good job stepping it up, non-Blessing KF folks 💟
I’ve loved watching all year and happy to see so many games represented on this list, your personal lists and The Smily’s! We are living in the golden age of video games and there truly is something special for everyone.
As much as I disagreed with aspects of the list (Starfield being anywhere near a GOTY list, Mario Wonder's absence, Hi Fi RUSH being on so few lists - thank u Blessing for putting it up where it belongs) it's still a joy to listen to half a dozen ppl celebrate one of the finest years in video games.
I’m thinking Greg had to pay Phil Spencer back for coming on their show. Reminds when he kept talking about the avengers game that came out a few years ago.
My game of the year is Baldur's Gate 3 In June i was having a hard time deciding between Tears of the Kingdom and Resident Evil 4, but then came Baldur's Gate 3 and made it easy for me. Larian Studios have outdone themselves, the game is the type of game that fires on all cylinders, its great from all the angles you look at it, visually, musically, gameplay, writing, world design, community, its just a masterpiece, its in my top 10 games of all time.
Favorite GOTY episode yet. Loved it and really liked the format. We got to hear about all these good games but didn’t have to listen to constant arguing and bringing down other games.
What awesome and varied list. Wish Metroid Prime made it but i understand why it missed out. So many games! You all killed it and this 4+ hours went by so dang fast. Here's to a great 2024 of gaming! Cheers!
No one be talking about how Alan Wake 2 actually used New game plus as a way to actually close out the story. What a sweet way to use a mechanic that is not taken advantage of in a way Remedy did it.
@BirdsOfWar Seems like a strong list! Though my backlog is making me weep. The only game on that list I've gotten around to so far is Jedi Survivor, and I'm literally only playing through that as we speak 🥲 Not enough time!
@@BirdsOfWar Loving it so. Only wish it will start taking me to more planets. It's mostly been confined to like 2, with a tiny bit on Corusant and that moon
There was something for everyone this year. So many genre defining games it's hard to pick any one as the best because of the variety. If we are talking games that set a new standard for what we expect in gaming Baldur's Gate 3 is without a doubt the winner in my book. It even pulled in people who wouldn't touch a crpg with a 25 ft mouse cord. I've never played a better "video game" in my life.
Alan Wake II, Star Field, Final Fantasy 16, Tears of the Kingdom. are my top games for the year. Love yall Kinda Funny! You all worked so hard and made incredible stuff in 2023. Can’t wait to see what 2024 brings! 9 years and going strong!
Man im jealous of the people who loved starfield. Bethesda has made some of my favorite games ever, pre-ordered it and it was just not what i was hoping for. The lack of that meaningful on foot exploration just kills the game loop and immersion imo. Hopefully elder scrolls 6 is a rebound for them
That's fair. Personally I loved that they mixed their formula up. So it's a shame it didn't work for you! Maybe in time with more DLC and mods it might grow on you? Either way, I have little doubt that ES6 will be more their traditional loop of on foot exploration.
FFXVI was great! It could’ve been one of the best FFs ever if it had more town exploring and/or strange character/weird world things happening in it. Outside of the Kaiju battles it felt a bit dry.
My TOP 10 1. Baldurs Gate 3 2. Tears of the Kingdom 3. Final Fantasy 16 4. Spiderman 2 5. Sea of Stars 6. Lies of P 7. Resident Evil 4 8. Hogwarts Legacy 9. Octopath Traveller 2 10.Jedi Survivor Honorable Mention: The Man Who Erased his name. Also a few games I didn't get to play this year that I think would of made my top 10 are Alan Wake 2.
My personal list would be: 1. Sea of Stars 2. Metroid Prime Remaster 3. Super Mario Wonder 4. Super Mario RPG 5. Gunbrella 6. Front Mission 2 Remake 7. Fire Emblem Engage Thats every 2023 game I played on 2023, I still want to play Star Ocean 2nd Story R
Someone needs to give Barrett and Andy an award for the set cause god damn
Everyones lis is awesome but Mikes ability to just find joy in video games is contagious
Exactly! His list is pure, unlike some who you can easily tell they are struggling to justify the pick or are scared of being judged to be a fanboy if it's an exclusive title.
The top 10 games showing on the front of the desk during the show is rad as hell. Nice job to the production folks for that.
The fact that Sony Greg and Xbox Mike #1's are what they are should be spotlighted.
Everyone's lists are great, but a big shout out to Greg and Mike's lists. They're so personal and are truly a representation of what makes KF so unique and special.
Mike's thumbs up at TotK and Hi-Fi Rush killed me. "I liked it. I had a fun time." "Good game."
Omitting it from top 10 if he actually played it is just sad
I like you all personally but the fact that you put BG3 #4 (which for me has been the best game out in years) clearly shows we don't look for the same things in videogames :D
Such a great show! The set looked so sick 🔥 Andy and Barrett killed it!
THANK YOU!
I love how deep this show got. I listened in the car and was shocked and happy to see I had 3 hours more to go!
I love to see a four-hour KF GOTY pod! Barrett and Andy killed the graphics as always, and it was great seeing Janet in the studio! One of my favorite episodes every year!
I'm a newer viewer. From the Phil/Redfall episode. I REALLY like this format for a GOATY event.
Holy shit. Not a single person on the team had Resident Evil 4 anywhere on their list??? That's honestly insane to me.
Edit: nope, Tim had it on number 9... it's still unbelievable that it wasn't like top 5 overall.
I love these guys, even though i miss Colin because he brought different taste and opinions to the group!
But these guys when it comes to Resident Evil, they dont have a clue. Resident Evil 4 original is legendary, and the Remake is pretty much as good! It is arguably the best game this year (to me it was).
And Tim calling himself an Resident Evil fan is funny, because the games are never high on his list and he play the games way later then it came out.
Resident Evil deserves better, especially RE4!
@@wesker2nd He liked Dead Space more than RE 4 lol
I think after RE 2 Remake, these hit less for some people. Not me.
Huge props to the KF crew, Andy and Barrett with all the graphics and everything. Such an amazing episode!
Love Mike's list. Dude always has some cool takes 😂

I'd call baldurs gate turn based deus ex. It's probably the most impressive immersive sim I've ever played.
Insane amounts of Emergent gameplay
TIED... WITH... (Gottem, chat.)
People talk about the TotK depths but I don't hear as many people talking about the caves! I loved jumping into the caves and finding cool loot.
Greg explained exactly why Starfield resonates with me. I love Starfield so much and can't wait to see what future DLC's will do to the game!
I'm disappointed RE4 Remake didn't crack the top 10, but this was a fun list with some surprising picks.
Greg's list is surprisingly similar to mines and I don't care what people think
Was listening to this live while working. This got me through half of my work shift lol
Same here 4 hours of work time went quick
Appreciate our boy Parris calling in at the end and dropping his choices! Triggered some interesting conversations!
Glad Armored Core made it on the list, it’s very fun.
Great to see Parris get to call-in late in the show! Always enjoy his presence and thoughts, wish he could've been there for the whole show.
My GOTY was Octopath Traveler 2
Same
My first turn-based game ever, I tried the free demo because I knew how pretty the game was so I figured I'd give it a try. Great gameplay, beautiful visuals, lots of environmental and enemy variety, incredible soundtrack, and an emotional story. Loved it. @@PeachBootyPoppin
Not to make this longer but I would like to see a community list for next year.
This got me so hyped to play Zelda TOTK again, such a special experience ❤️
This cast and their respective personal favorites really shows how diverse gaming is and how there isn't just one perfect game for everyone.
So Greg the PS guy chose an Xbox game, SBM the Xbox guy went with A PS game and Blessing the PC gamer went with a Nintendo title. what a wild year. one for the memory books for sure.
Awesome show! Y'all did the damn thing! I was wondering why Mike was so quiet for the top 10 discussions...then I saw his list 😂 Also, Janet needs to be in person more often.
It was weird seeing how people reacted to Greg putting Dead Island 2 and Starfield on his list. I see why some of them don’t look at comments anymore
Dead Island 2 slaps. Fun zombie bashing, looks great, runs great, good level design, some of the best environmental storytelling of the year, and a shockingly decent story.. People been sleeping on it all year. Glad Greg gave it some love.
Hi-fi rush at 9 but starfield at 6? Trash
@@SuperMandibleclawsomeone has a different opinion then you, oh no
@@SuperMandibleclawgrow up dude, they have their opinions on the games they played. If you want your opinions to be heard, make your own show.
Imagine caring so much about another person’s opinion, to each their own.
Seeing Janet in person is a breath of fresh air... Happy Birthday Queen 🎂
Thanks for a great celebration of 2023 video games KF! Every game on this list is a winner.

This is the best celebration of 2023 anyone could ask for
Spiderman 2 is also my number 1 for game of the year
That Starfield for GOTY speech made me fall down and I can’t get up
I love Blesses' Armoured core 6 jacket.
Mike is such a treasure. Love his alternative view.
Awesome episode!!! Love you guys and this community. I really liked the individual top 10 analyzing this year rather than the honorable mentions. It was great to hear each person talk about the games they loved that got left out of the collective top 10.

Love that Starfield got some love. Too much people shit on it.

Top 4 is my top 4 in that order. My 5th would have been Hifi-Rush. W list.
This is a very good list and pretty much aligns with my GOTY list.
FFXVI was great! It could’ve been one of the best FFs ever if it had more town exploring and/or strange character/weird world things happening in it. Outside of the Kaiju battles it felt a bit dry.
Did everyone on this panel play all the games nominated? Because without that context, I don’t see how the scoring is relevant.
Best piece of content all year

Yo the set looks awesome
Blessing has impeccable taste in games. His list was very well thought out!
