# Expectations
Over the last year I have been gathering data from this subreddit regarding every single event using polls and comments. To set expectations for this event I have calculated the average score based on the last Showcase
**The last ONL got an average score of 7.1 out of 10 (based on results from 967 votes)**
The most talked games from **2023 ONLs** were **Starfield, Cyberpunk 2077 The Phantom Liberty** and **Mortal Kombat 1**
The least talked about games from **2023 ONLs** were **Bulletstorm VR, Alan Wake 2** and **Last Epoch**
Stay tuned for **more different statistics** and more of this in other events!
