Let’s get this out of the way up top: Elden Ring is the game of 2022. Even if it’s not your favorite game that’s launched this year, it undeniably produced the biggest moment for the industry as a whole. FromSoftware’s open-world epic perfects the company’s signature Dark Souls template, creating the most approachable entry in an otherwise impenetr...
Horizon Forbidden West had the misfortune of launching right before Elden Ring, which left it lost in FromSoftware’s shadow. However, we can’t write Sony’s standout open-world game off. Aloy’s second adventure is even better than her first, giving players another gorgeous, postapocalyptic world to explore. With better combat and impressive environm...
Taking design cues from Super Mario 3D World, Nintendo’s Kirby and the Forgotten Land is the pink puffball’s first fully 3D outing. Kirby and the Forgotten Land has all of the charming character and level design we’ve come to expect from Nintendo’s cutest series, but isn’t afraid to get a little bit sinister toward the end of the journey. Check out...
Neon White’s odd mashup of first-person shooting, platforming, card-based abilities, and a heavenly setting doesn’t seem like it would work well, but it absolutely does. This godly adventure about forgiveness is one of the best-written games of the year, and it’s also extremely fun to play for fans of intense platformers like Clustertruck. Neon Whi...
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge isn’t a radically subversive beat ‘em up. It’s just a darn good one. Thanks to fluid action and tons of Easter eggs pulled from TMNT’s previous TV shows and video games, this is a satisfying romp for fans of TMNT and arcade beat ‘em ups alike. With co-op multiplayer that lets six players take on the ...
No other game released this year plays as smoothly as OlliOlli World. This skateboarding platformer wants players to skate, grind, and ollie to their heart’s content through colorful otherworldly environments and utterly succeeds at that goal. OlliOlli World is a joy to play, making it one of the most satisfying games of the year. Its quirky cast o...
The less you know about The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe heading into it, the better. From an outside glance, the game looks like nothing more than a console rerelease of 2013’s seminal indieThe Stanley Parable. That’s selling it short by design. Ultra Deluxe brings more new content than you’re probably expecting and it’s not just a few extra endi...
One of the first big indie games to release this year has also proven to be one of its best. Nobody Saves the World is about an ugly, pale character who must locate a powerful wizard and save the world with the help of a magic wand that gives them the ability to translate into 18 different forms. While not many games execute having multiple playabl...
It’s been a tremendous year for early-access games that finally got a 1.0 release. Case in point: Rogue Legacy 2. The sequel to one of the most influential roguelikes of all time is an improvement in just about every way. It brings plenty of creative ideas to the table, from better progression hooks to more hilarious “traits” that turn each run int...
If you’re looking for a deep hidden gem to play, don’t sleep on Strange Horticulture. The unique puzzle/plant shop management game has players helping customers cure various ailments by identifying the right plant for the job. That alone would make this one of the most unique indie games released this year, but there’s an occult element on top of t...

- Halo Infinite. For over a decade, 343 Industries has been the shepherd of the Halo universe, taking the reins from original developer, Bungie, and continuing to chart a new course for the series.

- Resident Evil Village. Resident Evil Village is relentless. From its opening moments to its eventual conclusion, it’s a non-stop, terrifying ride. Village is not only one of the best games of the year; it’s one of the best horror games of all time.
- Returnal. Acohesive undercurrent runs throughout the entirety of Returnal to create a masterpiece; art, gameplay, music, sound, and design come together in a symphony that all seems to have been crafted by the same hand.
