This colorful, Pikmin-inspired experience sees you, interplanetary traveller Milodane, crash land on an oversized human house controlled by insects. Platforms: PC, Xbox, Series X/S, PS4, PS5, SwitchĪs arguably the most underrated and overlooked entry on this list, Wayward Strand may put a few people off with its Wes Anderson-esque concept: a dialog-heavy, three-day escapade around a floating nursing home. A sequel is also in the works, elevating the experience to the Dreamcast era. It’s impossible to name a reason not to buy this Lunistice might be the best value for money game in 2022. It may be short but it’s as sweet as they come, combining colorful and smooth graphics, straightforward yet challenging mechanics, ever-evolving environments, and one of the finest soundtracks of the year which, despite ironically costing twice as much as the game to buy outright, is also worth every penny.
Twitch streamer Deke64, and is as simple as platformers get–as well as a near-perfect send-up of golden-era titles from the Sega Saturn and PS1. It’s a passion project by solo dev A Grumpy Fox, A.K.A. 10) LunisticeĪs the cheapest game here–an absolute steal at just $5– Lunistice is arguably the purest indie title on this list.

Most impressively, someone produced a scene-for-scene remake of A-ha’s “Take On Me”: Since its release, Vecchitto has remained dedicated to the game, releasing free updates on a regular basis, and players continue to match his enthusiasm by creating incredible send-ups to things as diverse as Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Liz Truss’s resignation as the British prime minister, and Dragonforce’s “Through the Fire and Flames”. Holy Wow Studios– Trombone Champ took social media by storm immediately after its release, not least because the funniest instrument in the orchestra was being used to murder classic songs like “God Save the King” and “Have Nagila”. The brainchild of developer Dan Vecchitto–A.K.A.
Trombone Champ isn’t just the funniest game of 2022–it’s proved itself to be much more than the one-joke rhythm title many may’ve expected. Combining elements from 2D platformers, roguelikes, and Scotland’s biggest contribution to sport, Cursed to Golf may be one of the weirdest games of 2022, but it’s a simple idea done brilliantly and beautifully–a hole-in-one effort for Chuhai Labs.Ĭheck out my review of Cursed to Golf here.
