Top 10 MOST ANTICIPATED Video Games of 2023!

Top 10 MOST ANTICIPATED Video Games of 2023!

Author: Andrew Bascom and Mikey Ehrenworth January 3, 2023 Duration: 1:23:57

Happy New Year, everyone!

Since we capped off 2022 with some backwards-looking lists, we figured we'd start off 2023 with a conversation about what we're most excited about in the gaming realm!

Sure, some of these games may have appeared on PREVIOUS "Most Anticipated" lists from prior years, but that doesn't mean we aren't still very excited for them!

But with 2022 having so many heavy hitting sequels from Triple A developers like God of War: Ragnarok and Horizon: Forbidden West, will 2023 be the year where indie games like Cocoon and Hollow Knight 2 reign supreme? Or will the favourites like Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Spider-man 2 run away with the glory?

There's only one way to find out: listen to this week's episode, then talk to us in another 365 days!

Remember those games you spent hours on as a kid, the ones that felt like perfect worlds? The Retrograde: A Video Game Podcast is a weekly conversation between hosts Andrew Bascom and Mikey Ehrenworth that digs into exactly that feeling. They don't just offer a simple review; instead, they revisit the titles that defined a generation-both the celebrated classics and the notorious flops-to ask a tougher question. With the clarity of adulthood, do these childhood favorites actually hold up? The discussion naturally blends personal nostalgia with a critical eye, often wandering into related pop culture from film and TV, all delivered with a casual, comedic tone. Listening to this podcast feels like hanging out with friends who share your specific, deep-cut gaming memories, debating whether that legendary 10/10 score was ever truly earned or if it's time for a more honest reassessment. It's less about definitive rankings and more about the fun and sometimes painful process of looking back.
