Game of The Year
Discussion
So what is everyone's game of the year, can be either a game that released this year or a game you played for the first time in 2022.
For me it would have been Elden Ring by quite some way, if it was purely on a game released in 2022. However, I played Red Dead 2 for the first time back in January and that is an absolute 10/10 masterpiece.

I never buy or play 'new' games. I've got hundreds of older games on my ps4 from ps plus, ps store sales etc.
I really enjoyed Assassin's Creed Origins and Far Cry 5.
But for me , The Witcher 3 is my favourite game this year. Utterly fantastic game. And when my PS5 arrives, I'll start it all over again!

No new games for me, and no games at all since June as I moved overseas (can’t wait to get home and collect my consoles and bring them back with me). But start of 2022 I bought a One S and gamepass for the first time and had at it.
Standout games for me were Gears of War 4 & 5 which I played for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed. Also played Generation Zero for a fair bit and whilst it is flawed (open world but quite empty, flawed combat, limited enemies) I sunk a lot of hours into it because the premise of the game was pretty interesting (basically the Horizon Zero Dawn apocalypse event set in 80s Sweden).

It's been a pretty poor year for gaming.
While a chunk of games have had high praise, they've not really appealed to me.
My GOTY is probably Gran Turismo 7, which isn't saying much as I'd struggle to rate it higher than an 8/10.
I replayed RDR2 this year, as I have done every year since launce and it's still a masterpiece but I felt it would be cheating to count that as I've played it so much in the past.

Was working through some back catalogue games for most of this year. My favourite by some margin was Control - brilliant game that I’d never heard of before!
Mine too, I’m not sure I’ve ever been so immersed in the world of a game before. Easily in my top 5 ever. Douglas Quaid said:
If you like that play quantum break. By the same studio. I enjoyed it a lot and have been trying to get into control. it’s a very similar style of game including combat. I’ll give control another go.
Interesting. I played Quantum Break first and gave up on it about 25% of the way in. Great story but the combat and movement felt clunky and awkward, whereas Control felt agile and quick. I still have it somewhere so maybe should have another go.TT1138 said:
