Hogwarts Legacy did really well, not just in Google searches. But, surprisingly, it didn’t get nominated for Game of the Year, which surprised many fans. Strangely, the magical world didn’t get any nominations at the big awards ceremony.
On the flip side, Baldur’s Gate 3, which won Game of the Year and other awards, is only sixth on the list.
A game that might shock you on the list is Connections from the New York Times. After Wordle’s success, they found another hit with this word game. It challenges puzzle lovers to link groups of four items with something in common.
While most games on this list are big AAA titles, it’s cool to see smaller studio games like Sons of the Forest. The sequel to The Forest hit Early Access on PC on February 23, 2023, but a console release is still pending.
