We’re getting towards the mid-point of the year, and (unless I’ve missed it) I can’t seem to find a thread for discussing what our favourite games of the year have been.

So, what have been your favourite gaming experiences so far?

Tears of the Kingdom without a doubt so far. Enjoyed every second of it.

Honorable mentions are Hi-Fi Rush, RE4 Remake, Diablo 4 - even Jedi Survivor (especially if it didn’t run like shit).

And I fully expect Starfield, Spiderman 2, and Baldur’s Gate 3 to give TOTK a run for its money. Honestly a great year for gaming despite some shitty PC ports.

Has to be Street Fighter 6 for me but as a long time lover of the series I can’t help but feel they delivered extremely hard on this one. But from a sheer “oh wow” point of view TotK is outrageous like man what a game. I just like clickity stickity action.

I still have to get into this game. Played like the first few hours and just never came back to it, but always hear great things about it.

Tears of the Kingdom is in the running for my favorite game of all time… So I’m gonna say Tears of the Kingdom.

No Man’s Sky. It had a really rough launch but the devs have put a lot of work into it these past few years and its pretty good now. Excellent game for just chilling, flying around and exploring.

I like NMS, but I’m not a fan of the gameplay loop. After a while I end up getting bored. For a game focused on exploration it feels like there’s not much to explore when almost everything you find is the same.

I enjoyed NMS more and more each year. I wish I didn’t instantly get migraines from VR headsets or I’d get a PSVR2 just for NMS.

TOTK for sure, but honorable mention: Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed. Yeah, it may just be DLC, but XC3 was easily my favorite game of 2022, and this extra content pulling together so much from literally a decade of story and games is awesome.

It’s like that feeling in Endgame where everyone shows up to help fight and you’re like, “Holy crap, they made it work!” They put all of this stuff together from all these different places and it works. That’s how I felt with XC3 and Future Redeemed.
