Dec 27, 2022 · For Windows PCs in particular, there was quite the variety of exceptional titles, ranging from indie narrative games like Norco to AAA RPGs like Elden Ring.

- Elden Ring. February 25, delayed from January. Elden Ring has a shot at being the biggest game of 2022, as impossible as that would've sounded to anyone playing Dark Souls a decade ago.
- Starfield. November 11. Back in 2018, Bethesda announced it was planning to release a game that wasn't Skyrim. It's still a Fallout/Elder Scrolls-style RPG, but this time, in space.
- Hollow Knight: Silksong. Not confirmed, but probably 2022. Hollow Knight is one of those precious indie miracles. A three-person team made a Metroidvania that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with classics of the genre.
- Company of Heroes 3. 2022. Real-time strategy has not been in a great state for the better part of two decades, but there's still magic being worked in Vancouver, the home of Relic.

- God of War Ragnarok
- Immortality
- Mario+Rabbids: Sparks of Hope

After 13 years of iterating on the “Souls” series and decades more in the wider gamut of game development, renowned Japanese studio FromSoftware did something that seemed tougher than even the most brutal Dark Souls boss fight: it created a global smash hit, all while continuing to cater to hardcore fans and expertly evolve the often imitated, neve...
God of War Ragnarok achieved everything it set out to. A stunning blend of bone-breaking action and delicate drama, it’s a nuanced story packed full of memorable characters and moments that keep you guessing at every turn. Its mix of rhythmic combat, smart puzzles, and nourishing side stories combine to create an unforgettable journey through stunn...
Immortality seems like a bizarre concept on paper: you’re tasked with determining what mysterious fate befell fledgling actress Marissa Marcel, but to do so you must analyze a box set of three unreleased feature films whose story chapters and special features can only be experienced entirely out of sequence as though the scene selection is stuck on...
There are two kinds of great sequels: those that play it safe and stick close to what worked, and those that take risks, swing for the fences, and pull out a second big win. Mario+Rabbids: Sparks of Hope is the latter, following up Mario+Rabbids: Kingdom Battle’s unexpectedly strong game that handed Nintendo’s mascot dual pistols, mashed him up wit...
Not only does Marvel Snap take great advantage of the Marvel license — utilizing a huge cast of characters and locations from the iconic comic property, and celebrating some absolutely incredible art — it also upends many of the conventions of the collectible card game (CCG) genre. Designed first and foremost for mobile, decks are small, games are ...
That Tunic is largely the work of one person (Andrew Shouldice) who spent seven years working on the project only makes its brilliance all the more impressive. Tunic looks like a beautiful homage to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past – right down to the green, well...tunic its anthropomorphic fox hero wears – but it plays more like an isometri...
One of these nominees is not like the others. Seeing a game with sprite graphics that appear to have been ripped from a long-forgotten fantasy arcade cabinet from the late ‘80s and controls that amount to a single joystick and a button to say “ok” when picking your new weapons up here next to nominees like Elden Ring and God of War: Ragnarok surpri...

- Elden Ring. Elden Ring is the kind of behemoth that’s simply hard to argue against, try as we did during our end-of-year discussions. No matter how many ways you try to pick at its various flaws, the breathtaking experience of riding around The Lands Between is simply unmatched this year.
- Immortality. Every year, an indie darling is able to stand in the face of AAA behemoths and become one of the best games of the year. In 2022, that game is Immortality, an innovative video game where players must scrub through production footage of three unreleased films to discover what happened to missing film star Marissa Marcel.
- Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Some games feature deep, complex stories and wildly innovative gameplay that will redefine the industry. Others are just a whole lot of fun.
- Xenoblade Chronicles 3. For RPG fans, the Xenoblade series has been overlooked for too long. Despite containing some of the richest stories, worlds, and systems in the genre today, it just couldn’t get the recognition it deserved outside of niche circles.
Dec 6, 2022 · By Darryn Bonthuys on December 6, 2022 at 6:00AM PST. According to Metacritic, the best PC games this year were a mix of fantastic indies, PlayStation ports, and hard-hitting mysteries.
