Our TrueAchievements Game of the Year 2023 vote brings together 32 of the best Xbox games of the past year for a single elimination tournament where you decide the outcome.We’ve got an interesting match up today, as the horrifying Dead Space remake takes on the colorful adventure game Chants of Sennaar. Talk about two games on the opposite ends of the spectrum. Dead Space is a stunning remake of the horror classic, bringing the graphics up to modern standards so you can really appreciate all that gore and viscera, but it also improves the gameplay, reworking some old sections that frustrated players and adding a few new surprises. Hopefully its success will lead to a revival of the series.Meanwhile, in Chants of Sennaar you spend all of your time translating and learning about languages within a tower inspired by the Tower of Babel. It’s got a strikingly colorful aesthetic and unique puzzles that really stretch your brain to its limits as you try to decipher different languages, many of which use different rules. Dead Space is the favorite in this one for sure, but never say never.We’re attempting to keep this tournament as fair as possible, so AAA games have been put in the top bracket while the smaller indie games make up the second tier. It’s just for a bit of fun to stoke the flames of conversation around 2023’s best Xbox games, so expect to see a more traditional TrueAchievements GOTY vote arrive later this month.Game of the Year 2023: Round 13 – Dead Space vs Chants of Sennaar
