Topic	The Great 2022 Video Game Challenge 2
MZero 01/02/22 9:59:23 PM #1:	Happy New Year! Good luck to everyone who participates in this. Credit goes to tazzyboyishere for first starting this in 2016, and Robazoid for carrying the torch through 2020. Basically, there are 50 challenges outlined below that will require you to beat 52 games total. This isn't a competition and there's no prize for winning aside from a sense of accomplishment. This is just a fun thing to participate in while we all work through our video game libraries. It also gives us a place to discuss what we're playing. Feel free to join in! Changes from last year: I decided to combine the WRPG and JRPG categories as well as the FPS and third-person shooter categories. I feel like the lines have blurred with JRPG-esque games developed in the west and WRPG-esque games developed in Japan, and there's not much need to separate them. I don't feel the shooting categories need to be separated either, and a lot of games can switch between perspectives anyway. In their place, I added a category for indie games (surprised there wasn't one already!) and one for simulation games, two categories I feel like have seen a lot of growth in recent years. Of course, the Years categories have been moved forward by one year. Rules: - A single playthrough of a game can only be used for one challenge - Use your own judgment to decide if game fits in a certain category - Games started in 2021 or earlier are fine as long as they're finished in 2022 - Please add your own games to the spreadsheet linked to below, which anyone can edit - When using the spreadsheet, please don't mess with checklists/tallies that aren't yours - There's a tab listing favorite games in the spreadsheet if you need help with Challenge 42 - If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
