League Overview:
Welcome to Year 6 of the GameTZ Fantasy Gaming League! This is basically fantasy football with games. Each person picks 10 games and those 10 games make up your "team" for the year. The Metacritic scores for your 10 games are tallied up at the end of the year to determine your total. Highest overall score wins. You also get 2 alternate picks (these should be safe choices) just in case one of your picks gets delayed into 2024. So if you shoot for the moon with a game like Armored Core VI and it gets pushed into 2024, one of your alternates takes its place and you don't end up with 0 points for that game. The goal is to pick games that you think have a very good chance of releasing in 2023. Don't YOLO your way into a bunch of 0s lol.
The Rules:
1. No DLC or Expansions
2. No Ports or Remasters (full remakes are allowed)
3. Alternate picks can only replace games delayed into 2024. They cannot be used to replace games in your top 10 that review poorly.
The Prizes:
1st Place: A $50 Amazon Gift Card
2nd Place: A $20 Amazon Gift Card
3rd Place: A $10 Amazon Gift Card

League Overview:
Welcome to Year 6 of the GameTZ Fantasy Gaming League! This is basically fantasy football with games. Each person picks 10 games and those 10 games make up your "team" for the year. The Metacritic scores for your 10 games are tallied up at the end of the year to determine your total. Highest overall score wins. You also get 2 alternate picks (these should be safe choices) just in case one of your picks gets delayed into 2024. So if you shoot for the moon with a game like Armored Core VI and it gets pushed into 2024, one of your alternates takes its place and you don't end up with 0 points for that game. The goal is to pick games that you think have a very good chance of releasing in 2023. Don't YOLO your way into a bunch of 0s lol.
The Rules:
1. No DLC or Expansions
2. No Ports or Remasters (full remakes are allowed)
3. Alternate picks can only replace games delayed into 2024. They cannot be used to replace games in your top 10 that review poorly.
The Prizes:
1st Place: A $50 Amazon Gift Card
2nd Place: A $20 Amazon Gift Card
3rd Place: A $10 Amazon Gift Card

Even though I finished #15 I’m happy that all but one game I picked, Atomic Heart, got in the mid 80’s and low 90’s. I enjoy playing each year. Thanks @Heavyd814life for coordinating and doing this annually! I’m gonna start working on my 2024 list soon since my selections for 2023 have just ran out with Spiderman 2.

No matter how this turns out, I'm pretty happy, since I finished second to last last year! The one big hit I took was on Horizon: Call of the Mountain, which was definitely a heart over head choice. I don't regret it, though, as I still think that game is underrated.

I also had Call of the Mountain and I feel like it's perfectly rated. High 70 is a good-great game still and it definitely didn't quite live up to what I was hoping for while still being a lot of fun.

I chose Call of the Mountain too. I thought it would get a lot of high scores based on the "omg this is so cool" factor of the new features PSVR2 offers that other VR headsets don't. But it didn't score as high as I had hoped. No PSVR2 launch games did for that matter, kinda why I haven't bought one yet.

The biggest criticism I heard was that it was a climbing simulator, but climbing is one of my favorite things in VR, so I really enjoyed it.

I don't mind climbing and archery but I was hoping there would be more to it. The game was beautiful though and I put my parents through safari mode and they were impressed. This reminds me I need to go back and plat it still as well as play all the other vr2 games I bought.

Well since it's a 3d side scroller and not 2d, that would have not given you any points.

I have Alan Wake 2 as an alternate pick and I'll end up using it since Kerbal Space Program 2 didn't release this year (it's still in early access).

OP updated with scores for Alan Wake II. It's currently at 88 on Metacritic from 39 reviews.
So happy for Remedy. Hopefully the positive reviews translate to good sales for them. Shame it's digital only, though. I likely won't get around to picking it up til it's like sub $20.

Why are there so few reviews for the Xbox version of Alan Wake II? There's only 4 compared to 28 on PC and 39 on PS5.
