Happy New Year! 2022 has ended and we can reveal our top 10 games of the year are as follows:

1. Elden Ring
2. Xenoblade Chronicles 3*
3. God of War Ragnarok*
4. A.I. The Somnium Files -nirvanA Initiative-
5. TMNT Shredder's Revenge
6. Kirby and the Forgotten Land*
7. Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope*
8. Stray*
9. Bayonetta 3*
10. Horizon: Forbidden West*

Yet another good year for Nintendo and their exclusives see 4 make it on our top 10 with PlayStation's big hitters God of War and Horizon also being recommended. We also see 3 indies make it amongst the AAA titles this year with A.I. finishing in 4th with top reviews from critics and users throughout the world and only just edges TMNT as best indie. Elden Ring is our GOTY though with the game not only scoring accolades everywhere and possibly being one of the Greatest Of All Time but also being accessible on more than one platform; a prerequisite for Itemdrop's GOTY.
