This is it – 2023 is the time to try something new! So instead of peering mysteriously into a crystal ball and pretending to divine some trends for the year ahead, we thought we’d make things more personal. We thought we’d share our personal gaming ambitions for the year ahead.
What does that mean? Well, gaming ambitions are a lot like New Year’s Resolutions, but they’re about games rather than going to the gym. So it’s you deciding, for instance, that 2023 is the year you’re going to get into virtual reality, like Ian – and with PlayStation VR 2 out soon, now is a good time.
Or, maybe you want to get into speedrunning because you’ve always thought it looks cool, which it does. Or, maybe you’re ready to get serious about competitive Pokémon. Or maybe you want to make that game you’ve always been talking about. Who knows? These ambitions can be anything; dream big.
The ambitions below are ours, then, but we’d love to hear yours in the comments. Oh and Happy New Year! Here’s to brighter days.
