Here's the biggy: these are the Eurogamer readers' games of 2022. Thanks so much for getting involved, and have a lovely 2023!
What we said:"Dorfromantik is sunshine on the screen. To spend an afternoon in its company, unhurriedly placing tiles down with a soft"plonk!", while the gentle sounds of a countryside chirrup around you, is to be filled with calm. That a game this approachable can, behind that exterior, also provide such a deep and prolonged challenge is a marvel to me. It is elegance manifested. Dorfromantik is a joy.
What we said:"For the most part, though, The Delicious Last Course is more of the same. More of the sumptuous visuals and wonderful jazz score. More of the high difficulty, with bosses taunting you every time you lose. More of that succulent satisfaction when you finally hit the knockout." hazywaze was equally impressed."A cracking story with the choose your own adventure gameplay of Life is Strange and the Quantic Dreams games, but presented in a unique and surprisingly engaging art style with outstanding production values. I was really invested in the characters and choices."What we said:"It's more Splatoon, and I understand if for many that's not quite enough.
"I hope there's another game in the style of Arceus," says indevelopment, another reader who knows the keyboard shortcuts for that accent. Good work all round."Researching the Pokédex via battling, evolving and capturing many many 'mons was the breath of fresh air the series needed."What we said:"Moss: Book 2 is without a doubt a game that deserves to be played, especially if you fell in love with the original.
"A glitchy and buggy mess? Yes," says Cydonia88. Oh wait, there's more!"The most fun a Pokémon game has ever been? Absolutely! If this is the template for future Pokemon games, I can't wait to see how the series evolves, lets just hope the next Nintendo console has the power to realise its full potential."What we said: We didn't review it!
Shit_Pistol was equally satisfied:"Shouldn't have come out so close to Elden Ring. Otherwise a great expansion. Gunplay still unmatched."What we said:"This is an extraordinarily good-looking game at times, and one that, in its relentlessly compelling, lager-and-crisps multiplayer, aims to command your attention for the next full year. But it's also one that's terrified of you looking too closely at it.
"A fantastic Arcade classic brought back to life for 2022, great 4 player chaos, just like the old days," says Episode 13.
