Ranking Every 2022 Game I've Played (All 70) | Kaser focus

Not the first time I've said this, but it bears repeating: 2022 has been a strange year. Maybe the games themselves weren't as crazy as the industry itself, but we still had some great ones. We also had some bad ones. So to close out 2022, let's do a slightly different Focus. I'm going to rank every game I've played this year - all of them.

This is going to be a long list, so buckle up. As I have already posted my top 5 games, we will start from the top and work our way down. Keep in mind that these are rated based on my personal level of enjoyment with these games. If you disagree with me? Good! I accept discussions! (Except for the last five. I won't answer questions about that).

Honorable Mentions

Before I start ranking the games I've played, let me start by telling you which games you're not going to see on this list - for the simple fact that I haven't played them. Unfortunately, I'm not lucky enough to have infinite time, so I was only able to hit a certain number. These games include (but are not limited to):

Goat Simulator 3 rollerdrome Dorfromantic SpiderHeck All sports titles Rogue Legacy 2 AI: Somnium files – nirVAna Initiative The mortuary assistant Gran Turismo 7 Tinykin

I wish I could have played all of the above - it's strictly a matter of time limits which I didn't. Mortuary Assistant is a particularly deep cut, as I love my horror games. I'm also sad that I didn't have time for the second AI game: The Somnium Files. I really like the first one, but I'm not done yet, hence my reluctance to start the sequel.

Also, I want to warn you about some games I've played that won't be on this list. Here are some honorable mentions:

Slime Rancher 2 & Coral IslandThese two games made me smile. Anyone who knows me knows that I love Slime Rancher and Coral Island scratched my Stardew-like itch. However, both games are in Early Access. I don't want to officially judge them because they are explicitly incomplete. It wouldn't be fair. But I'll see them later, I promise.

Powerwash Simulator I wanted to love this game so much - the concept alone is so good. But I couldn't play it for more than a few minutes without getting seasick. I can't judge the game for that — my biological peccadilloes aren't the developer's problem. But the fact remains that I couldn't physically play this game much.

Lost Ark & Splatoon 3All multiplayer in the list below, I felt I had seen enough to make a good judgment. Lost Ark and Splatoon 3, not so much. But I do want to acknowledge them, because I felt they were generally well-made games. I just haven't had enough to put them on this list. Also, adding more would disrupt the pretty "70" on the list. You know, priorities.
