It was an oddball year for video games, with 2022 bringing news of massive acquisitions and some long-awaited titles from celebrated studios. Predictable favorites like Elden Ring and God of War Ragnarok have dominated Game of the Year conversations, but niche surprises such as Marvel Snap and Vampire Survivors were not undone by the stampede of triple-A behemoths. Live-service games like Fortnite and Genshin Impact continue to thrive, but consumers are still lining up for challenging and engaging single-player experiences.
