Mod of the Year

We're back and better than ever for the 22nd annual Mod of the Year Awards. As we do every year, now's the time to look back and give talented mod makers the gratitude they deserve for their creativity shown throughout 2023.

Last year, the single-player adventure Entropy : Zero 2 that took out first place, followed closely by the all encompassing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly taking out second and Unification taking the third spot. If you want a look at how the rest of the placing went in 2022, check out the rest of player's choice for released and upcoming, as well as the editor's picks for 2022.

Some cool mods indeed!

I replayed DNF 2011 with Duke Nukem Forever: Enhanced, good improvements.
It got some interesting updates as well. If we could remove more crappy jokes it would be perfect! :D

I totally missed Jackie's Tapes for CoF, a game I really loved, both in SP or co-op!!
CoF universe, tension, endings, monsters… were excellent. I'll try it in early 2024.

I was surprised to see Forbidden Trip there! Thanks!
Small updates are planned as well as a big expansion with new chapters.
I won't say more for now, especially concerning the expansion pack because I'm very busy IRL (life). I just don't know when it will be finished, tested then released.
On the other hand, I plan releasing two smaller mods (TC) before that.

Half-Life : MMod could be an interesting way to replay HL but I heard there were lots of bugs… I wait for a new build!

Prey hidef looks good. I'll definitely install it the next time I want to replay that (it's been so long). 👍

Kudos to the Half-Life Alyx NoVR team.
I could finally play HL Alyx last month thanks to their hard work. My mod of the year. 👏👏👏

I still need to get around to played DNF: Enhanced. I already have an embarrassing amount of hours in the game as it stands but now it seems legit playable ;D
