Elden Ring feels like a shift in how adventure games will be built for the next 10 years.
Vampire Survivors has imprisoned people world wide in a loop of, "One more run."
And arcade beat-em-ups return in a big way with Ninja Turtles.
I can't remember the last time I was this excited to play everything I touched. It had to be close to one of those Mass Effect or Skyrim years when it comes to pure fun.
I played a lot of games this year. I'll rank them all. Remember, these are games I played this year, not necessarily games that came out in 2022.
