2022 had the potential to be the biggest year for new video games since 2017. Unfortunately, a number of big delays (Breath of the Wild 2, Hogwarts Legacy, and Starfield among them) took some of the wind out of this year’s sails. Yet even with those setbacks, there were still a ton of games that recieved a 9 or higher from IGN. As we move into 2023, we’re looking back at this year’s standout releases. From FromSoft’s instant-classic Elden Ring in January to Sony’s stellar God of War Ragnarok in November.
