Battlebit Remastered

As we head into one of the last holiday weekends of the year, we’re wrapping up GOTY-related announcements with more nominees. This time, it’s for Destructoid’s best PC game of 2023, and I reckon you already know it’s a competitive bunch. We’ve already hit the PlayStation and Xbox consoles, along with more specific categories like best indie and ongoing game. Looking back, I realize 2023 is one of the toughest years for GOTY choices I’ve had in ages, and I’m thankful this was a staff-wide endeavor; otherwise, this list…
