It’s no hide that 2021 has been a quiet year for gaming. While the indie scene has been as active and exciting as ever, larger studios have had to delay their biggest games, largely due to development challenges posed by having people work from home. While we’ve seen some high-profile hits like Deathloop and Resident Evil Village this year, many of 2021’s most anticipated titles ended up moving to 2022.

If you feel like you haven’t played many new games this year, that’s about to change. Also As it stands, 2022 is shaping up to be the biggest year in gaming since.

So here is a list of the best games of Release in 2022 

• Monster Hunter: Rise
• Pokémon Legends: Arceus
• Life is Strange Remastered Collection
• Dying Light 2 Stay Human
• Horizon Forbidden West
• Saints Row
• Elden Ring
• Starfield

January is going to be a spicy month, with not one, not two, but three wonderful and anticipated titles releasing. Although unfortunately the first in the list not getting a PC release, Pokémon Legends: Arceus is the next game in the Pokémon universe. It has faced several controversies already, with one of them being its Pokedex seemingly lacking with 400 different Pokémon intended including DLC when Sword and Shield had 400 in the base game – which suffered a controversy of its own for the same problem.

The game will also feature a hub similar to the Monster Hunter franchise instead of the open-world fans were expecting.
