These games slap, no cap

These are my top five choices for video games in 2022.

No. 5: In fifth place is “Elden Ring,” an action-adventure role playing game with a long story, fully open world and great gameplay. It’s available on PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox and PC.

No. 4: “Kirby and the Forgotten Land” is also excellent, another story-based action-adventure RPG that’s lots of fun. It’s available on Nintendo Switch.

No. 3: Coming in third is “Bonelab.” A story- and mod-based first person shooter, it’s one of the most revolutionary virtual reality games of all time with amazing physics, gameplay and campaigning. It’s available on PC and Meta Quest 2.

No. 2: My second most favorite game of 2022 is “Overwatch 2.” An action team-based FPS, the game hasn’t been improved much over the original version, but it’s still a great game with an updated physics engine, a few new heroes and maps. You can find it on PC, Playstation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch.

No. 1: Taking the top position is “Stray,” an action-adventure RPG with stunning graphics and amazing gameplay with a super long campaign (it took me about 12 hours to complete!). It always seems to find a way to keep you playing. Playable on PC, PS4 and PS5.

Caveat emptor: Lastly, here are five games that are a must to avoid. While I haven’t played them, I haven’t heard anything good about them: “Crossfire X,” “Babylon’s Fall,” “Call of Duty WarZone 3,” “Call of Duty Modern Warfare II” and “Ghostwire Tokyo.”
