The past year was an excellent one for video game enthusiasts. From console-exclusive titles to multi-platform titles, this year saw some exciting releases from both indie developers to the biggest gaming studios in the world. It was also a good year for PS5 console owners, with several new titles truly benefitting from the PS5’s powerful hardware capability. Similarly, we also got the next instalments of some of the most followed gaming franchises such as Call of Duty and God of War. Here are the top five video games released in 2022 which have impressed me the most.
God of War Ragnarok
God of War Ragnarök is available exclusively on Sony PS4 and PS5.
God of War Ragnarok is a must-play game, especially if you own a PS5 gaming console. Do note that, the game is also available for PS4. However, if you want to Play Ragnarok at 4K resolution with the best possible graphics quality, you can only do it on the PS5.
It was supposed to release in 2021, but due to development delays, the game was finally released in November 2022. It has received a very positive response from both critics and gamers and now set some seriously high expectations for the next instalment in the God of War series.
