Ragnorok got robbed?

Ragnarok will be absent from the most alternative list, my guess. It will be placed in good spots on the more mainstream gaming-centered media.

I love that GT7 gets some recognition. It's the game I played the most this year, by far. 160 hours. And I'm nowhere near feeling done with it.

Even absent from honourable mentions.

Funny they put Cyberpunk in there.

Never heard of Golden Idol. Looks interesting.

Glad to see Kirby getting some love. Its in my top 10

I enjoyed CP2077 but isn't that game from 2020?

also glad to see Kirby, the forgotten land was my first experience with Kirby but it was really fun.

It's your number one, right? :D I have four games at the moment for number 1, including GT7. Tough call incoming.

Yes! Closing in on 700h of playtime and not feeling any fatigue.

But even then i played many cool games this year. Just happy it gets some recognition.

I think it's ok. The really boring ones will be coming from Gamespot, IGN, etc. But the best one will come from GAF. :D

GAF's GOTY last year was Halo Infinite so forgive me for not agreeing with you there lol, I didn't even have it on my top 10, Metroid Dread should've won.
 
Just started on GT7 and absolutely love it already. What a stylish and immersive game. I love when the passion of the devs for game subject just shines through.

Yeah, it's not my favorite racer but it is a love letter for car enthusiasts like nothing before it, I need to jump back in.
 
At first I went "the fuck is a Trombone Champ?", but apparently it has 98% of positive reviews on Steam with over 4000 reviews.

To my wishlist it goes!

This is the cool thing about those alternative lists, that you can discover many cool but lesser knowm games that otherwise could have been missed. Thanks for posting it OP!

For me it was a tie between Metroid Dread and Returnal. But Metroid would've been an absolutely worthy game of the title.

What a joke of a list. Where are God of War Ragnarok and Horizon 2?

And Cyberpunk 2077 was released in 2020, shouldn't be in a list of 2022 if they released next gen patches now, ports or free dlcs aren't new games.

I played Returnal this year, when it came to PS+ Premium, but it would've been up there near the top for sure. It's one of my favorites this year, went from hating it to absolutely loving it after I found about you could save.

1. Dread
2. Ascent
3. Forgot the rest. Would need to check

Yup The Ascent was awesome, I had it as number 2 or 3, don't remember, it was one of those games where I really don't understand game critics. MS should hire the dev to do a Gears Action RPG with the same foundation.


I think I'm closing in on the end on Scorn now, it has rushed up my list, I love it, it's gross and incredibly slow at times but no hand-holding is so refreshing and it feels like nothing else. And the art design is just incredible, never seen anything like it, could've been made by H.R. Giger. I'll probably end up having it on my top 3 unless it stumbles at the end. Edit: Done! woah

It's super slow so be prepared for that, and there is lots of trial and error and zero hand-holding throughout the whole game. Tbh I was bored at first but gave it another go and got madly hooked, it's a feast for the eyes if you like Alien.

There shouldn't even be a list yet, the year isn't over.

Just look, and more importantly listen to the dulcet tones that permeate your ears, and then you will certainly be adding another one to your list.
