Baldur's Gate 3 on PS5 was a perfect port.
Tetris Effect being on a 2023 list is funny, but it's timeless
Spider-Man 2 swinging is the best traversal in any game.
Alan Wake II's musical chapter is one of the best things in gaming.
Dead Space remake was excellent.
Rogue Legacy 2 is a hidden gem.
Cocoon is so clever, worlds inside worlds.
