The gaming industry moved forward in 2022 thanks to these innovative titles that dared to rethink the rules of the medium.
This story is part of our 2022 in Gaming series. Follow along as we reflect on the year's best titles. What makes the video game industry so exciting is that itâs still relatively young. Developers are still routinely discovering new ways to turn the medium on its head, redefining the idea of what a game is by bucking against trends. Though major productions like God of War Ragnarok are no doubt impressive, the most groundbreaking titles are often the less obvious ones.
The Last of Us Part I At first glance, The Last of Us Part Iâs inclusion here may seem odd. Sonyâs pricey remake was the center of controversy when it launched earlier this year, as fans argued its existence was unnecessary. However, this PlayStation 5-exclusive is incredibly important for a reason that might not be immediately obvious: accessibility.
Immortality Director Sam Barlowâs work has always thrown the conventions of gaming out the window. His debut, Her Story, simply had players scrubbing through video clips as they mentally pieced together a murder mystery. Immortality doesnât just build on that idea; it reinvents it. Like Her Story, players look through filmed clips to try and decipher the story of missing film actress Marissa Marcel.
