The monumental feat was all down to an explosive contraption that was created by one player, leaving the Tears Of The Kingdom community in disbelief.

]]> Sun, 31 Dec 2023 11:00:23 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/best-games-of-2023/ 2023 was a year packed with back-to-back video game releases that included new AAA titles, long-anticipated sequels, top-tier remakes, and a slew of other games in just about every category and genre you can think of.

In this collection, we'll explore the top 10 best games in each category and dive into the personal top 10 games hand-selected by our editorial team.

]]> Tue, 26 Dec 2023 19:30:22 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/best-video-game-moments-2023/ Action-adventure games bring us thrills and chills through our controllers and keyboards. A good action-adventure game engages us with smooth combat, often fast-paced storytelling, and fantastic art styles. The best of them bring both flash and substance. When you’re looking for a good time, boot up one of your favorite action-adventure games and settle in for hours of bombastic entertainment.

]]> Tue, 26 Dec 2023 11:01:21 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/best-action-adventure-games-2023/ 2023 has been one of, if not the best, years for gaming ever. At least when it comes to releases and not the horrendous number of lay-offs that took place. There has been an abundance of great games, and just not enough time to play them all. Every corner of the industry came out firing; AAA titles, nailed it, indie games, brilliant remakes and remasters, you guessed it, fantastic. The relative glut of games kept me well-fed throughout the year, but that only served to make the process of deciding my top ten exceedingly difficult. It also meant that I missed so many good indie games (sorry devs!).

In fact, I would argue that 2023 has been the best year in gaming history. Well, unfortunately, that’s before you look at the extreme number of industry layoffs. When we hear numbers like 6% of someone’s workforce or 1,500 layoffs, it’s easy to look at that and forget the people behind those numbers.

]]> Mon, 25 Dec 2023 19:31:21 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/2023-best-year-for-games-worst-year-for-gaming/ 2023 has been a remarkable year for video game releases. The cadence of great titles has been staggering, as it’s been relatively non-stop since the start of the year. Most years, I feel pretty good about the new games I’ve managed to play — I love to stay on top of the newest, shiniest releases that review well or that simply catch my eye. 2023 is the first year in a long time where due to the sheer volume of incredible releases, I’ve had to pick and choose between amazing games multiple times throughout the year, leaving some reported excellent titles for my backlog. As the year comes to a close, I’m still scrambling to play as many 2023 titles as I can, but some sacrifices had to be made along the way.

]]> Sat, 23 Dec 2023 23:01:20 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/dualshockers-goty-2023-editor-picks-jeff-brooks/ I played 35 games that released in 2023, and paring that number down to just ten games that I’m passionate about was a unique challenge this year. Often, I find myself with only five or six games that I’m over the moon about in any given year, but 2023 brought the heat.

Never before have I felt like I had to move on from a game I could have explored more thoroughly because another top-tier title was knocking at my door, but here we are.
