Back in January, MobileSyrup created a ‘Fantasy Football’ league-like draft for 2023 video game releases.
Dean Daley, Brad Shankar, Chris Brown and Steve Vegvari contributed to the list of fantasy selections. Here’s how it worked: in January, we were given the chance to select three games we felt would be among the year’s top-scoring on OpenCritic.
This time, we selected two more games for a total of five titles for each participant. Points will then be awarded or deducted for every percentage point each pick falls above or below a 70 on OpenCritic. By the end of the year, we’ll only look at the top four games, ditching the least impressive score for each person’s collection of titles.
