Game news God of War Ragnarok, Elden Ring… Here are the top rated video games from JV in 2022.

God of War Ragnarok

It’s not very surprising, God of War: Ragnarok is one of the highest rated games of 2022. New from Santa Monica Studio invites us to find the duet of Kratos and Atreus in a new, more epic family epic than in 2018. Ragnarok, a famous event in Norse mythology, is the backdrop for the game’s scenario this time around. Result: 19/20.

This new episode contains a touching, epic, lavish and extremely dense epic. Santa Monica is at least very good at all aspects of her game and promises to give you enough emotions to brush off her weaknesses – Conclusion of the SP test.

Bayonetta 3

This year, the famous witch has unveiled a new action game bomb on the Nintendo Switch. In Bayonetta 3, the mysterious Lady Umbra gains new abilities and a new look, perfect for dealing with strange creatures called homunculi that appear and devastate New York City, causing a tsunami. We love the gameplay, which is still fluid and enjoyable, the game-changing demon summoning, and the script, which is more ambitious than usual. Result: 19/20.

Bayonetta 3 definitely marks the return of the witch from Platinum Games. With this new adventure, Bayonetta proves once again that she is the queen of beat’em up, offering battles that are still as exhilarating and spectacular as ever, sublimated here with a plethora of new weapons and a demon summoning mechanic. method of struggle – Conclusion of the test of the joint venture.

Horizon: Forbidden West

Horizon returned this year with the Forbidden West episode, which still tells its story in a post-apocalyptic universe where mechanical beings are legion. Aloy, our experienced hunter, this time is responsible for overcoming the Hades virus that can destroy all life on Earth. In particular, we have retained from this unprecedented epic the sumptuous advertising and the universe, the more enjoyable exploration, and then the strategic and living battle. Result: 19/20.

Building on an already very good first episode, Horizon Forbidden West hits the stars, becoming a real culmination for the Guerrilla Games formula, as well as for the “classic” open world genre in general.

ancient ring

Winning the GOTY 2022 award at the Game Awards, Elden Ring marks the collaboration between Hidetaka Miyazaki and Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin. Your mission in this unforgiving universe is to become the new master of the Underworld, an area torn apart by the lust for power of the demigods called by the mighty Circle of Eden. We had the pleasure of discovering just a huge open world, a very successful art direction and a truly rewarding curiosity. Result: 18/20.

With its new open-world dimension, Elden Ring brilliantly brings FromSoftware’s already highly effective studio formula to life and offers Souls a spiritual sequel that’s ambitious and accessible. All the innovations converge towards this final goal: the open world allows you more than ever to equip yourself with the epic and must-have combat that adventure reserves, without the impression that you’re only going for the farm. – The conclusion of the test joint venture.

Plague Tale: Requiem

In A Plague Tale: Requiem, Amicia and Hugo travel to Provence after escaping from rats and the Inquisition in the province of Guyenne. The two heroes are still battling the plague rats, and Hugo’s abilities are still a threat to those who seek to seize power. We really enjoyed the long, well-written and breathtaking adventure, the richer gameplay offering nice choices and very nice graphics for various settings. Result: 18/20.

A Plague Tale: Requiem is a confirmation game. A sister’s faith in her little brother when the world collapses due to their defeat. Then the great talent of Asobo Studios. Offering richer gameplay without breaking the formula, this sequel never forgets the basics about the genre it targets. – The conclusion of the test joint venture.

NBA 2K23

When it comes to sports games, NBA 2K23 is definitely the biggest winner of the year. The 2023 edition of the acclaimed basketball gaming license re-introduces Jordan Challenges, which allows players to replay 15 of the most important and spectacular moments of Jordan’s career. We liked a further increase in lifespan, new and nice animations, or a shooting system that is more demanding and time-fair. Please note that we are talking about the Xbox Series and PS5 versions here, the PC, Switch, PS4 and Xbox One versions are much lower. Result: 18/20.

GOAT Michael Jordan can be proud: NBA 2K23 PS5 and Xbox Series versions is undoubtedly the best opus of the license released to date. In addition to an already gigantic lifespan further improved in single and multiplayer with My NBA mode enhanced with 4 era selection, the return of the Jordan Challenge, co-op mode in My Team and Career Theater, the gameplay in the game will please some. – The conclusion of the test joint venture.

Two point campus

In terms of management games, Two Point Campus was a very pleasant surprise. After the hospital component, this time we go to the world of universities. The goal then is to run a campus where students can take atypical courses like “school of chivalry” or even “saliva gastronomy”. Scenarios are updated, formations are many and varied, and the universe is cute, shimmery, and fun at the same time. Result: 18/20.

Two Point Campus makes a near-perfect replica, renewing the management game genre. Its amazing two-stage game system allows you to combine the best of both worlds: a game where you can build stress-free and with ease, and a game where you can enjoy seeing the result of your work. – The conclusion of the test joint venture.

Rogue Legacy 2

On the indie side, we especially enjoyed Rogue Legacy 2! Cellar Door Games offers us this year the continuation of its first success; in this “genealogical roguelike”, the concept is quite simple: the player must explore a procedurally generated world divided into several biomes inhabited by bosses. Each time you die, you’ll have to start the journey over and choose an heir with random genetic attributes, with multiple classes offering different playstyles. Result: 18/20.

Captivating, varied, accurate, consistent, up-to-date, Rogue Legacy 2 serves as the perfect sequel to the 2013 cult game that popularized rogue-lite. But in addition to improving absolutely every level (classes, weapons, traits), Cellar Door Games sets a new bar in the genre with a clever combination of metroidvania and randomly generated levels. – The conclusion of the test joint venture.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 was definitely an unmissable role-playing game this summer on the Nintendo Switch. Players were invited to discover the world of Aionios, where the peoples of Keves, developed using his technologies, and Agnus, specializing in magic, are at war. Six soldiers from these two warring parties will be at the center of the intrigues of this conflict. We were able to enjoy a gripping and touching storyline about war and death and discover many cute and well-developed characters. Result: 18/20.

With Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Nintendo Switch welcomes an important new RPG to its catalog. In contrast to the lightness of tone of the second episode, the title offers a gripping scenario rich in twists and emotions, aided by a beautiful soundtrack. – The conclusion of the test joint venture.
