Current Events > What are your top 5 games that you've played for the first time in 2022?

(+) Yeah! (+)

It doesn't have to be 2022 releases, but just games that you've played for the first time this year.

Mine are

Yakuza: Like a Dragon
Trails from Zero
Kena: Bridge of Spirits
Borderlands 2
Dead Space

Obviously this may change before the year is over.

Elden Ring
Dragon Quest XI S
Persona 5 Royal
Yakuza: Like a Dragon
Dragon's Dogma

Metroid Dread
WarioWare Get it Together
Lego Star Wars the Skywalker saga
Gardening mama
rayman 2 the great escape DS remake

Ziggurat 2
TMNT Shredders Revenge
Barn Finders
Luigi's Mansion 3
Prodeus

Can I even come up with five?
I've had Liar Princess forever, but just got around to it after Cruel King.

I think I may have just found out about Madou Monogatari this year, or maybe last.

In no particular order, and because I feel like I shouldn't count MHR Sunbreak:

Xenoblade Chronicles 3
Elden Ring
Metroid Dread
Neon White
Katana Zero

1. Horizon: Forbidden West
2. Xenoblade Chronicles 3
3. Dying Light 2
4. Triangle Strategy
5. Star Ocean: The Divine Hope

Bridge of Spirits was a good time. Did not expect so many bosses.

Yakuza 5
Yakuza 6
Yakuza LaD

Everything else is stuff ive played before.

Tunic
OlliOlli World
Triangle Strategy
Bayonetta
Mario+Rabbids 2 (not far into it yet)

I honestly dont remember playing many new games in 2022, although I did a lot of gaming. Im pretty sure the Pokmon B/W 2 was the only new game I played this year.

Xenoblade 3, Guacamelee 2, Satisfactory, Triangle Strategy, and The Looker.

Not exactly in order other than Xeno 3 was definitely my #1 game from the year. Satisfactory is a bit hard to quantify as well as part of what made me so into it was the potential for multiplayer making it really good, but as I never actually did that it's really hard to say how much fun I had versus the idea that it could end up being fun.

The boss fights in that game were great. I bought it on a whim at the beginning of the year and loved it. I finished it in a couple days.

I'm really hoping for a sequel.

Like a Dragon was the first Yakuza game I've played and it was amazing. I definitely want to check out more of the series.

I've bought Yakuza 0 but haven't gotten around to starting it yet. It's near the top of my "to play" list though.

Elden Ring
Splatoon 3
Inscryption
Pokemon Legends Arceus
Subnautica: Below Zero

Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire
Death Stranding
Hades

The series is pretty consistent with having a serious main story and wacky side quests. So if you liked that, then the rest of the series will be right up your alley. The gameplay will be very different though. Yakuza 0 - 6 were all beat em up action games, not turn based rpgs.

And I'd also recommend playing Judgment and Lost Judgment. It's a spinoff of the Yakuza series that takes place after the Yakuza games. Specifically, Judgment takes place after Yakuza 6 and Lost Judgment takes place after Like a Dragon. Same cities, but completely different characters (and action combat).

Horizon Forbidden West
Stray
Stranger of Paradise
Tales of Arise

Those are the only new games I've played this year.

Dying Light 2 is the only new game I've played this year.
