10 Best Video Games Of 2022 (So Far)

2. Horizon Forbidden West

A game thoroughly dethroned by our no.1 pick, Horizon Forbidden West sees Guerrilla flesh out their newest IP in every direction possible.

The world is rife with more character diversity, combat feels far more confident and multi-faceted, coming with skill trees and metered specials to nail those specific weak spots. Ashley Burch's Aloy walks with an iconic purpose; known across the land for her actions in the first game, but powered by a need to maintain peace for a populace that doesn't know the full picture.

Along the way, Guerrilla take this franchise's lore to some insane heights, but you can feel this necessary flexing of the IP's muscles is nicely preparing us for an upcoming PSVR2 spin-off and the Horizon TV show.

Forbidden West is a mammoth of a video game, stuffed to the brim with side-missions, loot, NPCs and storytelling to discover. It's a reason to invest in a PlayStation 5 after over half a year of waiting for a total knockout, and thankfully it maintains that bar of quality throughout.
