Stray

Top video games of 2022
Available on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4

 

 

The fact that you play as a cute cat the entire time, makes Stray a joyful adventure that is set in a grim but endearingly optimistic cyberpunk setting. Although I wished my movements were a little more nimble, I still enjoyed leaping across rooftops and scampering through back alleys to find hidden secrets. Its mix of simple platforming and puzzles with item-hunting quests is balanced very well across the roughly five-hour story.

Watch out for deadly forces that hinder your path.

 

Even if not all of the new concepts it offers along the way work as well as others, they all contribute to keeping things as fresh as a new bag of trash. But Stray does a fantastic job at differentiating itself in a way that seems like more than simply a curiosity, whether I was clawing at a carpet or balling up and enjoying a catnap. 

 

A Plague Tale Requiem

Top video games of 2022
Available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.

 

 

One of the best action-adventure games, A Plague Tale: Requiem, is an outstanding sequel that significantly raises the bar in practically every area. Although it doesn’t accomplish much to set itself apart from its predecessor in terms of gaming mechanics, this unusual journey is nevertheless well worth your time because of its sad but great plot, amazing visuals, and memorable rat-filled scenes.

Explore a vast world full of terrors and spectacular visuals.

 

It’s a worthy sequel that left me with some fantastic memories and a few recurrent nightmares, though I do wish it were more adventurous with its stealth-action sandbox and took more chances than it does.

 

 

Horizon Forbidden West

Available on PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4

 

 

Horizon Forbidden West is a fun and terrific demonstration of the potential of the PS5. It boasts engrossing action, top-notch monster and character design, and a gripping open world. The absence of freeform climbing and the reappearance of a few classic series clichés never endanger the fun, but they do result in it disappointingly falling short of something innovative.

Make the first shot from stealth as you hunt mechanical beasts.

 

But there’s no denying that significant evolutionary strides have been made in the correct direction, and Aloy, who makes her claim as one of the finest characters of this age of gaming, will provide hours and hours of enjoyment. With Forbidden West, Guerrilla has once again excelled. On this trajectory, there is no telling what may happen next.

 

 

God of War Ragnarök

Top video games of 2022
Available on PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4.

 

 

God of War Ragnarok blends action and adventure to produce a brand-new, memorable Norse story that is both thrilling to watch and even more fun to play. The sound you hear when Krato’s axe comes back to you is just satisfying. The music is downright epic. The combat is challenging but fun. It’s a full piece of art from top to bottom with a flawless script, flawless acting, and tremendous action.

Explore indigenous locations on a boat with Kratos and his son, Atreus.

It really reflects its main ideas and is everything a sequel ought to be: better than the 2008 release. God of War Ragnarok is a tremendous accomplishment that establishes a new standard and renders many of its competitors positively mortal in contrast. 

 

 

Elden Ring

Available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC

 

 

Elden Ring is without a doubt the biggest and most ambitious game FromSoftware has ever created, and that ambition has more than paid off. There are so many bosses to defeat, many secrets to discover, a lot of sidequests to complete, and tons of weapons, spells, and skills to find and learn. 

With 80+ hours of blood, sweat, and tears, including some of the hardest battles to encounter, there are countless surprises in store. Additionally, there’s also PVP and cooperative play to sync into.

Encounter challenging enemies and brutal bosses in this epic dark fantasy.

 

Even if the core combat mechanics haven’t changed much in older titles like Demon Souls and the Dark Souls gaming franchise, the massive diversity of savagely crafted foes and the devastating and challenging bosses have elevated the confrontations to a new level.

Elden Ring can easily be ranked among the finest open-world games in 2022. It’s hard. It’s scary. And it’s brutal. But it’s also fun, it’s satisfying, and comes with a huge world to explore. This game is indeed a top video game pick and will be remembered as a game that advanced a genre, much like other open-world games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

    As a casual gamer and avid stream watcher I agree that all of these games were fantastic picks for a top 5 of the year. Gaming, like so many things is individual and subjective but I’m sure most people can find at least one in this list they’d enjoy!

    Personally, I love the God of War games! I have been playing them my entire life.

    I was pretty excited when this game first came out!

    Do you happen to know how many gameplay hours are in the game?

    1. LGMadyibi

      Thank you for your comment. The main story takes you more or less 25 hours to complete. But if you want to play the post-game content it will take you up to 50 hours to complete. I hope that answers your question.

    Hey,

    I am so pleased I came across this article because I have bought the game “A Plague Tale Requiem” for my nephew for Christmas. I am so sure he is going to love it and I am going to be the cool uncle 🙂

    I am going to share this and your other articles with him after Christmas so he can look for himself and learn about new games, or games he hasn’t tried yet.

    Keep up the great work.

    All the best,

    Tom
