And the last of my annual year-ender blogs reviews my gaming progress during 2022. I made a definite attempt to revisit Cyberpunk 2077 (and I’m still not done in Night City just yet, I’m really making the experience last) as well as completing Far Cry 6 and returning to Sniper Elite 4’s multiplayer in the company of my weekly gaming crew.
I did, for the very first time, complete a racing game (Dirt 5) from start to finish! That may not seem like a big deal, but it’s a milestone for me… I’ve often found the curves of my ability and a driving game’s difficulty level tend to part ways at some point in the last third of the experience and I never ‘get gud’ enough to go beyond… But overall, I played less new titles last year, preferring to concentrate on a smaller number more intently.
My game of the year? I’m enjoying the WW2 action of Sniper Elite 5, but I have to give the prize to the delightful cat simulator Stray.
Here’s the full list:
Deep Rock Galactic, Dirt 5, Among Us, Enlisted, Cat Burglar, Rainbow Six: Extraction, Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, Trivia Quest, MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries, Far Cry 6: Vaas – Insanity, Need For Speed Heat, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (including beta), Sniper Elite 5, Superhot, Heavenly Bodies, Stray.
