Das aktuelle Spielejahr war so gut, wie schon lange keines mehr. Gefühlt erschien jeden Monat mindestens ein Kracher, der bereits den vorigen überbot. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Baldur´s Gate 3, Alan Wake 2, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Street Fighter 6, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Diablo IV, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Hi-Fi Rush und Starfield sind nur einige wenige Titel, die uns in diesem Jahr über die Bildschirme flimmerten und laut der internationalen Fachpresse absolute Meisterwerke sind.
