The best year in gaming was 2001. Nothing else even comes close.
Halo
Super Smash Bros Melee
Devil May Cry
Jak and Daxter
GTA 3
Metal Gear 2
Max Payne
Advance Wars
Animal Crossing
Final Fantasy X
Silent Hill 2
Conkers Bad Fur Day
I could keep going. It’s literally not even a competition. Some of the biggest game series ever got their start that year. Sequels released that year are arguably some of the strongest ones in the series.
2023 was a great year for games, but it’s nothing compared to impact 2001 had.

Maybe it’s nostalgia, but for me the PS2 - Gamecube era was absolutely the best.
All right, that is indeed a hell of a list. You’ve got good story, good gameplay, genre innovation, it’s all there
I would argue that “the best year in gaming” highly depends on taste and generation.
To me that year doesn’t seem that good.
I personally think it’s pretty useless to even compare years in this way.
But 2011 was neat, because Portal 2 is the best game. Minecraft was pretty good too.
