10 Biggest Video Game Surprises Of 2022 (So Far)
4. Nobody Saves The World
Guacamelee! was a duology of games that were pretty good in their own right. However, they fail to stack up to some of the best Metroidvanias, such as Hollow Knight and Symphony of the Night. This is why it's surprising that the developer's newest game has become one of the premier dungeon crawlers of our modern age.
Nobody Saves the World is a game where you play as Nobody, who (as you can guess) is a nobody. But then, they find a magic wand that turns them into a somebody, but not just any somebody; it turns them into a horse, a knight, a mage, a rat, a bodybuilder, and a lot more goofy and wacky creatures that serve as the classes for the game.
The world is a weird and hyperbolic kingdom where the characters constantly make fun of RPG tropes and even the game itself. This is appropriate considering how it gives a new take on the Dungeon Crawling genre by having various unique dungeons and enemies.
Even though nobody expected that much from Nobody Saves The World, it has quickly become one of the go-to new indie games and will likely become the best dungeon crawler of 2022.
