This is the best game ever! Anyone who hates Elden Ring cannot beat it. Love the Radagon fight, although the Beast could use some help.
GOTY, if not greatest game of all time! I have never sunk more hours into a game like Elden Ring! This game is utterly amazing!
After multiple years of making very good but never really incredible games, Game Freak finally made what I may call a masterpiece. There are issues in this game that maybe Scarlet and Violet will fix to create the ultimate Pokémon experience.
Other than that, the ambiance, the exploration, the new mechanics for catching Pokémon, and the noble fights all make this game stand above the rest of the franchise.
I just love Pokémon, so when this came out, I saved all my money just to play this! Worth the wait and the fun!
Kirby's introduction to the 3D world is done as perfectly as HAL always makes these games. This contest is between one of the best introductions to video games of all time, a game with a couple hundred monsters, and a game that half of us don't even know.
The choice is clear: vote for Kirby!
What I find so great about Kirby and the Forgotten Land is that even though it is the first 3D Kirby game, it is at its core just like every Kirby game. Despite that, it still manages to be an incredible adventure that stands out from the rest of the franchise.
The game looks and sounds absolutely incredible. The copy abilities work very well in 3D, the bosses are amazing, the levels are amazing, and I love the completionist experience of this game since there is so much to do and it's all fun. Maybe a future indie game, Sonic Frontiers, or Pokémon Scarlet and Violet will overtake it, but for now, Kirby and the Forgotten Land is my favorite game of 2022.
I have played quite a big part of this game by now, and I must say this game is really excellent. I will tell more about my thoughts on this game in my 2022 retrospective though.
Sonic has finally succeeded in getting a good game. The characterization is amazing, showing the series isn't staying stagnant.
This game is very good. I have it, and it's brilliant!
I've quite enjoyed the game, and I plan on playing it a ton more! Wish I had others to play with, but hey, I love this game.
I definitely enjoyed playing this game! 10/10!
Absolute masterpiece, in my opinion. Great mix of gameplay, visuals, story, music, and character development. I still can't get over how many good scenes there are in this game.
People call it a "movie game" because it has a lot of cutscenes, but that's just straight-up wrong. A "movie game" is Death Stranding.
God of War Ragnarök is as good as its predecessor from 2018. Santa Monica Studios keeps pumping out masterpieces!
This is a game I am very mixed about, with many things I wished were better and many things I absolutely love. I also should mention I don't mind the glitches that much and think the game has more fundamental issues.
More info on my thoughts in my 2022 video games retrospective, but yeah.
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is a dream world.
The Newcomers
I've been playing this game for a long time, and seeing a third game release is awesome. Splatoon 3 feels amazing with the turf wars, salmon runs, big run, and splatfests. There is a bunch of things in Splatoon!
Playing the story was really fun, and it wasn't short! Splatoon is a valid game and is one of my favorites!
Despite the addition of the sequels, it is still one of the best releases of 2022.
Far better than I expected. Very original and memorable, making a big impression despite its short playtime.
Ok! Add this game to the list of games that I love but are somewhat depressing to talk about. So, I really like this game. Top-tier animations, nice gameplay with lots of depth.
I just wish it had more content. I'm somewhat tired of every Nintendo multiplayer-focused game on the Switch lacking content. They will add new characters and stadiums later on, but that's not really what I'm looking for.
It looks pretty cool from gameplay videos, and I really plan on buying it this winter.
This is a very interesting remake of a pretty good platformer. Trying to get the best score possible in those games is quite entertaining, and it's a great platformer overall.
While I never played the original, I have heard a lot about it, and a lot seems to have changed for the better.
Like Sonic Colors Ultimate, Sonic Origins is a rerelease of Sonic games that is unpolished and could have been better. But just like Colors Ultimate, I still love it despite that and have good reasons too. At least it is way less embarrassing than Colors Ultimate.
I love the coin system of this game and how it allows you to play with infinite lives and retry special stages. The menus look cool, we have amazing animated cutscenes that were added for the game, the drop dash was added to Sonic's moveset, which is great, and we get some cool content like videos and artwork. The mission mode gives you content that wasn't in the original games. I just wish there were some adjustments here and there.
I have not played it, but I have seen the walkthrough. The detail and thought put into this game are tremendous, and the story, oh, the story is great. It may not be kid-appropriate, but it still is a fantastic game.
