- Elden Ring. PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S. FromSoftware's open world epic has dominated the conversation this year. The Elden Ring hype had begun long before 2022, but once released it became the game everyone was playing and talking about.
- Tunic. PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, Mac. Like Fez, Tunic is a work of nostalgia that's never happy to settle for nostalgia alone.
- Norco. PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Mac. Arguably the greatest sense of place created this year, Norco, an adventure game set in a sci-fi future version of a real Louisiana town of the same name, is a work of sumptuous atmosphere.
- Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Nintendo Switch. In a first for Kirby, the Forgotten Land takes our beloved spherical hero to the realms of 3D platforming.

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...

- God of War: Ragnarok. From its myth-shattering storytelling to deft tonal shifts, its emotional character arcs to its bone-breaking action, God of War: Ragnarok is what all action-adventure games should aspire towards.
- Horizon: Forbidden West. Post-apocalyptic hunter Alloy returns in this sequel to 2017’s Horizon: Zero Dawn. The wastelands of the western United States are free to roam in this expansive, open-world follow-up that’s twice the size of its predecessor, which means twice as many robots to hunt down, side quests to complete, and upgrades to find.
- The Quarry. Supermassive’s spiritual follow-up to Until Dawn is another triumph for horror gaming. Paying homage to the summer camp horror movies of the ‘80s, The Quarry features a group of camp counselors who decide to have one last hurrah before packing it in for the summer—only there’s a curse over the lands and a werewolf prowls the night.
- Elden Ring. No one ever said sword and sorcery would be easy. Directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki of Dark Souls fame, with story and world-building from George R.R.
