2023 is drawing to a close, and with it the flood of big-name video games is also subsiding. This year's game releases have been exceptionally strong and varied, pleasing fans of many franchises in almost every genre. Most recently, Alan Wake 2, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, and Super Mario Bros. Wonder all launched in late October, and they weren't even the only noteworthy games released that month. It currently seems like the wave of larger games will keep up until the end of February 2024, but, aside from the expected Call of Duty drop, major releases will slow down in November and December.
