Top 6 Games 2022
Overall, 2022 was a pretty average year in terms of gaming. I'll acknowledge that there were some massive launches including Elden Ring and God of War Ragnarök. However, neither of those games are my kind of game. Given that, this list made up of my favorite games that I have played that came out in 2022 so far. You'll notice that most of these games are smaller/indie games. You may also notice that all five of these games launched into Xbox Game Pass. Gotta love it. 2022 was a very I say so far because there are probably games that I haven't played yet that will make their way into this list. So, here are my top 5 video games of 2022 that I have played so far.
6. As Dusk Falls (Interior Night)
I was genuinely surprised by this game. I found the story and characters engaging. I was also surprised that the art style worked as well as it did. The voice acting was top tier. My biggest complaint with the game comes with it's UI/UX. I played with an Xbox controller and found the choice navigation to be a bit tedious having to use the sticks to move a cursor around the screen. Its more frustrating when compared to how well Telltale already mastered the choice making gameplay with a controller.
5. Prodeus (Bounding Box Software INC)
Doom is one of my favorite game series. Particularly the original two games from the 1990s. When I saw that Prodeus was fully releasing Game Pass I was very excited to give it a playthrough. I was happy to play a game that feels like what Doom 3 would've been had it released in 1995. At the same time though it carries a lot of the same modern features found in Doom 2016. I will say though, the game started feeling a bit repetitive near the end, and I found myself hoping it would end quickly. Overall, though I was happy with the experience.4. Sniper Elite V (Rebellion)
If I'm being 100% honest, I enjoyed Sniper Elite 4 more than 5. That is not to say that 5 is bad though. The stealth is top tier, the sharpshooter is endlessly satisfying. My favorite level in particular is based on Mont Saint-Michel in southwestern Normandy, France. It is a handcrafted and breathtaking recreation of the real thing, and it is the perfect place to snipe dozens of Nazis. In term of what I don't like, I don't feel like the game does enough to improve upon the foundation that Sniper Elite 4 built. It just feels like even more Sniper Elite for levels rather than a totally new game.
