Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga has deep mechanics that are certainly addicting, so long as you can overlook some narrative snags here and there.
Spiral Circus' first game makes a great splash with its atmosphere and art style, but design and story limitations anchor its true potential.
Zorro: The Chronicles is a kid-friendly action-adventure that, despite some limitations, shows that the old fox has a few tricks up its sleeves.
We finally have a sequel to Mario Strikers Charged, but the Switch outing lacks content and interesting items to keep this soccer game engaging.
At the end of the day, The Quarry is a welcome return to what made Supermassive Games famous in the first place. It's a bloody good time with worthwhile choices to choose from, and so long as you're willing to deal with some minor flaws, you won't walk away disappointed.
Shredder's Revenge brings the turtles out of their shells with great combat, a huge rogues' gallery, and a delightfully bright '80s environment.
werve satisfies with a refined, fast-paced tower defense system that is both accessible and challenging.
Solid card trick gameplay and some great quasi-historical presentation helps alleviate Card Shark's occasionally obtuse level design.
Although its retro presentational qualities place it above standard horror fare, Paratopic's lacking design & narrative diminishes its grander mysteries.
With a strong atmosphere and love for the franchise, Saber Interactives' Evil Dead: The Game is the best horror multiplayer to play with friends.
Sniper Elite 5 is a really fun time, but it's bogged down by a dull story, graphical glitches and boring characters.
Out There: Oceans of Time has the foundations of a good game, but is wholly unremarkable with what it does with its mechanics.
Dolmen is yet another Soulslike that proves this formula is almost impossible to get right. It's a flat, boring experience with none of the spark and vigor it needs to transcend its many technical flaws.
From its interesting design ideas to its rich world-building, Jump Over The Age's Citizen Sleeper is one of 2022's best surprises.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong has some novelty as a dialogue focused RPG but is hampered by mid-production jank and subpar level design.
Slightly janky graphics can't bring down this great story experience. If Eternal Threads is a walking sim, it's the best we've had in years.
The Bugsnax: Isle of Bigsnax DLC adds more of what makes the base Bugsnax game fun, but doesn't add compelling story or character content that makes this a must-play. That being said, fans of Bugsnax will love exploring this new island and solving the puzzles presented by figuring out how to capture the new different giant Bugsnax.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is a great introduction to the world that is in need of a lot more depth. Hopefully, we get that next year.
Prinny Presents NIS Classics Volume 2 is a great compilation for strategy fans. There's enough humour and varied gameplay here to keep you coming back for a long time.
While The Wheel of Time is certainly showing its age, there's still fun to be had. Just don't try to play it in anything beyond standard resolution.
