Nothing like last minute Top Ten Lists but here we are: The Nerdporium’s Top Ten Best New Games of the Year 2022! This year was an absolute avalanche of awesome games after the slow trickle of new stuff coming out these past few plague years. 2022 spoiled us! Very surprised and delighted at the sheer amount of brand new IP this year and the quality. Lots of good games for us busy folks who don’t have a lot of time to sink into a super long campaign (here’s looking at you Vampire Survivors and Powerwash Simulator) that we’re still really addictive. In no particular order: Powerwash Simulator, Vampire Survivors, High on Life, Scorn, TMNT Shredder’s Revenge, Pentiment, Immortality, Tunic, Ghost Song, and (of course) Elden Ring all made our list this year. Runners Up include: Signalis, Deathloop, Infernax, Far: Changing Tides, The Quarry, & Gungrave G.O.R.E. (missed playing all those awesome Gungrave games on PS2 and this one nails it in spades). What did we miss? What’s on your list? Let us know in the comments. 🤞Here’s hoping 2023 shapes up to be as good of a year for games, we’re hopeful!!! #topten #toptengamesof2022 #top10games #powerwashsimulator #highonlife #vampiresurvivors #scorn #tmntshreddersrevenge #pentiment #immortality #tunic #ghostsong #eldenring #signalis #deathloop #farchangingtides #thequarry #infernax https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm2kW3Tpjtl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"With patient and firm determination we will press on until every valley of despair is exalted to new peaks of hope, until every mountain of pride and irrationality is made low by the leveling process of humility and compassion; until the rough places of injustice are transformed into a smooth plane of equality of opportunity; and until the crooked places of prejudice are transformed by the straightening process of bright-eyed wisdom." Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. 1964. We’ve still got many valleys to cross and mountains and mountains to climb, but the dream lives on, thank you Dr. King.
