In the meanwhile, the Play Store team voted Pokémon UNITE the Best Game of 2023 for “its dynamic gameplay and cross-platform experience.”

Meanwhile, we’ve seen a rise in independent developers creating unique and intimate gaming experiences that we didn’t know we needed. Bird Alone is a game created by independent developer George Batchelor that challenges you to find friendship with the “loneliest bird in the world.” And in Annapurna Interactive’s Donut County, you become an expanding hole in a physics-based puzzle game.
