2023 UK game sales "holding the fort" compared to 2022, but still show signs of growth

2024 so far has been challenging in the industry. This is a good time to take stock of last year's performance to gauge demand-side conditions and what direction consumer spending is going in the UK when it comes to full games (games that are paid for upfront).

"Although physical disc spending has continued to slip since 2021, the rate of the decline had slowed. Between 2021 and 2022, spending declined by 4% to £496 million but between 2022 and 2023, spending declined by just 2% to £487 million."

Good news.

"Stellar Blade" Review \\ paulsemel

While this sci-fi third-person hack & slash action game is very "Devil May Cry," it's the mechanics cribbed from other game that make it more modern and compelling.

The three first "Fallout" games are still pure RPG gold in the current year imo.

I agree I played the original 3 a few years ago and they are fun. I feel this needs to be said though. Console players don't have access to these games and that's a shame. However, If you have any sort of windows laptop you can play them they are really old now a basic office pc can play it.

I also want to say is Fallout Brotherhood Of Steel on the PS2 the first console Fallout game. It gets hate for no reason. I enjoyed them more than the originals. I believe it's on Xbox as well. Anyone with access to a PS2 or Xbox or emulated them on pc. It's a fun game to play. Don't get why it was hated on.

"Console players don't have access to these games and that's a shame."

These games will run on just about any low end laptop/PC/tablet and they cost next to nothing. I'm 100% positive no one is missing out that actually cares to look into these games.

The series peaked at Fallout 2 and started going down hill from there.
