2022 Oldish Games I Played This Year (and Elden Ring)
2022 saw me spiral further into a retro setup first started when the next generation of consoles were announced way back before covid. A decision was made at the time to skip the new gen and instead divert those funds into the old stuff. My biggest recommendation is to give that a try one gen, it’s been really fun!
I also decided to focus my physical library on one genre this year, that being PS1 era fighting games, so more than a few of those appear in this list too.
Special mentions:
- Bloody Roar for the fighting game to get the best response out of my partner
- Rival Schools for looking cool as fuck but playing like dirt
- Dragon Valor for being the biggest bucket of cold water over my nostalgia
- The various Baldurs Gate games on the PS2 for giving me an excuse to catch up on a bunch of podcasts
- The light gun setup and games I got for the PS1. Probably a next year thing...
