I made a promise to myself at the start of the year that I'd at least attempt to write down my thoughts on games I played throughout 2022 so I could post a list here. I ended up being a lot more negative than I had hoped, but maybe that reflects my current feelings on... Everything this year. Either way, here are some games I played, in no particular order.
