We’re back with round 2 today, which sees Dambuster Studios’ zombie-slaying action-RPG take on Tango Gameworks’ colorful action-rhythm game Hi-Fi Rush. Considering how well Microsoft’s early-year shadow drop went down with the Xbox crowd, we’re expecting Hi-Fi Rush to walk this one. However, there are a lot of (very patient) Dead Island 2 fans out there, so who knows how this one will end! The TrueAchievements Game of the Year 2023 vote is here. We’ve brought together 32 of the best Xbox games of the past year in a single elimination tournament that will be decided by you.We’ve split the field into two seeding brackets, with all the major AAA releases going into the top bracket, while small titles and indies go into the second tier. This should prevent two serious contenders from smashing into each other in the first round, while still giving smaller titles the chance to stage an upset.Oh, and we should address the elephant in the room… Baldur’s Gate 3. It’s not out on Xbox yet, but we know it’s going to be launching in December. If it releases before the end of the first round of knockouts, we’ll turn the final match into a three-way battle. Just picture Baldur’s Gate 3 running in with the Money in the Bank briefcase.Other bookkeeping. We’ve allowed remakes, but not remasters — Resident Evil 4 is going to be a lot of people’s GOTY vote and it felt unfair to kick it out. Nothing in early access makes the field though — a game must have had a full release since we last did this vote to be eligible. And don’t worry… there will still be a more traditional GOTY Awards vote later in the month.Game of the Year 2023: Round 2 – Dead Island 2 vs Hi-Fi RushWe’ve had 3 responses.
