Keeping a ranked list of the games that came out in 2022 that I played in order to have a GOTY ranking ready to go at the end of the year. However, given that I need to have it ready for my podcast, this is actually December 2022-November 2023.

This is a classic JRPG, that should probably go down as one of the all-time greats. The developers even created items you can turn on or off to make the game easier, so anybody can enjoy it! I found myself constantly wanting to play this game. I got to the final boss and told myself, "Ok, I'm ready to finish the game." Then I went and did about 10 hours of optional side content first. The first ending really encourages you to get the true ending, which I both love and hate. I'm going to be thinking about this game for a long time.
This game is great. World Tour mode is fantastic. I spent about 30 hours on it. I'm looking forward to learning a few characters and hopefully getting good with them. I would like the arcade cabinets to have some kind of way to figure out how good the person you're going to play against is. It is really annoying to have the daily quest be "win 3 arcade matches in the hub."
Fantastic. Everything I wanted it to be. I <3 Charles. There were a number of mechanics in this game that made me go, "Why is this not done more?!" $20, ~ 4 hours to 100%
What a fantastic sequel! This game went from 2-player co-op to 4-player co-op! It even gave Marian from Double Dragon some awesome character development! The music is fantastic and there was plenty of comedy to go around as well. There were some boss fights that were annoying. This could be me not understanding what to do. The game is roughly twice the length of the first one. Towards the end of that, I was ready to be done. When I realized I was about to start the end section of the game, I felt like this was about the right length. This means they kept the pace going very well.
I do not understand all of the hate this game received. I hear it's because people were expecting it to be more like Dead Space. Not being like Dead Space is one reason I really enjoyed it. That series is overrated. It was surprisingly fun to telekinesis enemies into spikes repeatedly. It was cathartic to just stomp a defeated enemy that annoyed you over and over. I thought the story did some interesting things, but there are some things that could have been better. The stealth mechanics were only ok. The game did not do a great job of communicating the correct direction, so there would be times I wanted to explore and accidentally advanced the story.
I am absolutely shocked at how good this game is. I had sooooooooo much fun. Just an absolute blast. There are some missions where they make you search for things and it can be annoying. There are some trophies that are annoying, but I want to play the DLC so much. This and The Callisto Protocol are neck and neck.
Fantastic game. Exceeded my expectations. Game of Thrones meets Mega Man meets JRPG. Definitely one of my favorite games for sure. I absolutely love Titan's powers, because you can counter moves. On second playthrough, this game was more like candy. Tasty, enjoyable in the moment, but fleeting in satisfaction.
I really came around on this game.. When I started, I was not really into it. I think I'm not big on samurais. Somewhere around Chapter 8 though, it really grabbed me and I was excited to play and see it through to the end. This is definitely a great LAD game.
I really enjoyed the premise of this game. I don't know how they make a sequel, but I hope that they do. Lots of fun, well executed.
A short, fun Metroidvania! Really enjoyed this. There are some flaws. I wish points of interest came off of your map once you finished them. I'm missing a key item that I cannot find anywhere, which is a bit frustrating.
