Another list.

Ragnorok got robbed?

Ragnorok got robbed?

Ragnarok will be absent from the most alternative list, my guess. It will be placed in good spots on the more mainstream gaming-centered media.

I love that GT7 gets some recognition. It’s the game I played the most this year, by far. 160 hours. And I’m nowhere near feeling done with it.

Even absent from honourable mentions.

Funny they put Cyberpunk in there.

It’s in an appropriate shape now on the current-gen consoles. It makes sense to re-evaluate the game.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Wordle

 

[Punished Miku]

Never heard of Golden Idol. Looks interesting.

Glad to see Kirby getting some love. Its in my top 10

 

[tommib]

Another list.

I think it’s ok. The really boring ones will be coming from Gamespot, IGN, etc. But the best one will come from GAF.

 

[skyfall]

Finally some Kirby love!

 

[Thebonehead]

Ragnorok got robbed?

And yet Trombone champ got the recognition it fully deserves.

 

[Con-Z-epT]

Yeah, GT7 is on a list.

 

[tommib]

Yeah, GT7 is on a list.

It’s your number one, right? I have four games at the moment for number 1, including GT7. Tough call incoming.

 

[Kacho]

• Immortality
• Norco
• Trombone Champ
• The Case of the Golden Idol
• Marvel Snap

Haven’t heard of any of these games until now.

 

[Danjin44]

I enjoyed CP2077 but isn’t that game from 2020?

also glad to see Kirby, the forgotten land was my first experience with Kirby but it was really fun.

 

[Mr Moose]

Wordle? Seriously?

 

[tommib]

“Re-released” this year with a next-gen patch.

 

[Con-Z-epT]

Yes! Closing in on 700h of playtime and not feeling any fatigue.

But even then i played many cool games this year. Just happy it gets some recognition.

Love your gifs, mate. AND you have taste in games. Keep it up!

GAF’s GOTY last year was Halo Infinite so forgive me for not agreeing with you there lol, I didn’t even have it on my top 10, Metroid Dread should’ve won.

 

[Klosshufvud]

Just started on GT7 and absolutely love it already. What a stylish and immersive game. I love when the passion of the devs for game subject just shines through.

Yeah, it’s not my favorite racer but it is a love letter for car enthusiasts like nothing before it, I need to jump back in.

 

[TintoConCasera]

At first I went "the fuck is a Trombone Champ?", but apparently it has 98% of positive reviews on Steam with over 4000 reviews.

To my wishlist it goes!

This is the cool thing about those alternative lists, that you can discover many cool but lesser knowm games that otherwise could have been missed. Thanks for posting it OP!

 

[tommib]

For me it was a tie between Metroid Dread and Returnal. But Metroid would’ve been an absolutely worthy game of the title.

1. Dread
2. Ascent
3. Forgot the rest. Would need to check

Shin Megami Tensei V, Monster Hunter Rise... Pretty cool year that was, for sure.

What a joke of a list. Where are God of War Ragnarok and Horizon 2?

And Cyberpunk 2077 was released in 2020, shouldn't be in a list of 2022 if they released next gen patches now, ports or free dlcs aren't new games.

 

[TintoConCasera]

What a joke of a list. Where are God of War Ragnarok and Horizon 2?

 

[radewagon]

Oh, wow. Literally the worst list ever. Quite the achievement, actually.

 

[Putonahappyface]

What a load of bollocks that list is with no God of War Ragnarok or Horizon Forbidden West.

 

[Insane Metal]

Yep that's a list alright

 

[semiconscious]

Wordle? Seriously?

it keeps showing up on these lists. are we being trolled?....

 

[Fake]

Another list.

Everyone making a list:

 

[ADiTAR]

• The Case of the Golden Idol

Yeah, no. It's just ok.

 

[Ogbert]

These nerds should stick to publishing shit short stories.

 

[Fredrik]

For me it was a tie between Metroid Dread and Returnal. But Metroid would’ve been an absolutely worthy game of the title.

I played Returnal this year, when it came to PS+ Premium, but it would’ve been up there near the top for sure. It’s one of my favorites this year, went from hating it to absolutely loving it after I found about you could save.

1. Dread
2. Ascent
3. Forgot the rest. Would need to check

Yup The Ascent was awesome, I had it as number 2 or 3, don’t remember, it was one of those games where I really don’t understand game critics. MS should hire the dev to do a Gears Action RPG with the same foundation.


I think I’m closing in on the end on Scorn now, it has rushed up my list, I love it, it’s gross and incredibly slow at times but no hand-holding is so refreshing and it feels like nothing else. And the art design is just incredible, never seen anything like it, could’ve been made by H.R. Giger. I’ll probably end up having it on my top 3 unless it stumbles at the end. Edit: Done! woah

 

[brian0057]

Wordle > GOW:R.
FACT.

 

[MrA]

some listed didn't validate my opinions, what shall I do?

 

[Fuz]

What a load of bollocks that list is with no God of War Ragnarok or Horizon Forbidden West.

Both crap.

I have Scorn downloaded. I'll definitely try to work it in soon. Glad youre loving it!

 

[Fredrik]

It’s super slow so be prepared for that, and there is lots of trial and error and zero hand-holding throughout the whole game. Tbh I was bored at first but gave it another go and got madly hooked, it’s a feast for the eyes if you like Alien.

 

[SLB1904]

Are you sure isn't the worst games of the year where gt and elden are there by mistake?

 

[proandrad]

There shouldn't even be a list yet, the year isn't over.

Just look, and more importantly listen to the dulcet tones that permeate your ears, and then you will certainly be adding another one to your list.

 

[I Master l]

Trombone Champ looks like a shovelware Wii game

 

[CatLady]

Never heard of Golden Idol. Looks interesting.

Glad to see Kirby getting some love. Its in my top 10

Yeah, it's a weird list. What the hell is Trombone Champ?

 

[Thebonehead]

Yeah, it's a weird list. What the hell is Trombone Champ?

Only "the best game ever made" according to Jacob Derose

Here is some more for all you audiophiles out there

 

[Flabagast]

What a joke of a list. Where are God of War Ragnarok and Horizon 2?

Could you explain why they should be there according to you ? They are both huge disappointements.
