Games in 2023 people aren't talking about enough.

Looking at all the game awards Nomnations for this year made me realise 2 of the best games Ive played this year got snubbed IMHO. There were a bunch of big games but 2 I dont feel like people are talking enough about are Exoprimal and Lies of P. Exoprimal is an Original IP from CAPCOM and no ones talking about it. Its a fantastic experience especially with friends. It has a surprisingly great story wrapped up in solid gameplay. It can be a bit repetitive, but the Special Game Modes make up for it. Its FREE on Xbox Gamepass. Give it a shot.

The other is Lies of P. People use the term "Soulslike" all wrong. They use it as a term of difficulty. Hollow Knight, Dead Cells, Blasphemous even TUNIC, a game about a fox that plays EXACTLY like Legend of Zelda, is labeled as a soulslike. NONE of those games have anything to do with the feel and style of Dark Souls. Its fucking infuriating when people slap a label on something cause its popular. Its like calling Battlefield a "Call of Duty Like" because they both have guns.

Now, Lies of P, is actually a souls like. It has that same viseral feel of combat and mechanics that follow the formula. The new Lord of the Fallen is another example. For those people who enjoy Dark Souls 1-3 Elden Ring and Bloodbounre, (Notice how I left out Sekiro) should be giving Lies of P a shot. It has such great everything. The world is well crafted, the idea is original, the atmosphere is palpable, and the music and sound design are spot on. For a brand new IP from a new company, they deserve more credit.

What about yall, which game(s) are people not talking about enough?
