In this video I share with you all the games that I played from start to finish in 2023. I mention in which platform I played each game and how long to beat they took me.

Platforms in which I finished games in 2023 include the PS1, PS3, PS5, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox Series X, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Switch, Super Nintendo, Game Boy, JVC X'Eye, NeoGeo, Arcade, FM Towns Marty, PC, Steam Deck and more! Some games I played via MiSTer FPGA or Analogue Pocket, some via original hardware!

Original hardware games were played using the RetroTink 5XPro for gameplay captured (since I only obtained a RetroTink 4K later in the year).

There are classic / retro games and modern / new releases in the list! And regarding genres, I played a lot of different types of games, ranging from RPG's to 2D platformers, beat'em up's, exploration, action, adventure, narrativefocused and so on.

My favourite indie game of the year was Dredge, my favourite actionadventure was Like a Dragon Ishin, and my favourite RPG / soundtrack / GOTY was Final Fantasy 16.
