Games of the Year, 2022
Last year I switched things up, and decided to simply list the best ten games I'd played the previous year regardless of release date. I felt overwhelmed by the number of new games I was interested in checking out. However, by prioritizing things a bit differently this year, I was able to play pretty much every 2022 release that I felt would be a candidate for this list.
Additionally, I've realized that I never replay anything. There are just so many new games that I'm interested in getting to that I just don't make the time to replay older games. However, I do think it's a worthwhile endeavor to replay your old favorites - it's interesting to see how these games might hold up, how your tastes might've changed, or simply to spend time doing something you know you'll enjoy. To be more intentional about this, I've chosen two favorites from 10 years ago, two from 20 years ago, and two from 30 years ago to replay this year. Although I didn't finish most of them, I found this to be a worthwhile endeavor and one that I'll likely repeat in 2023.
