Game news God of War Ragnarok, Elden Ring… Here are the best rated video games by JV in 2022

Ragnarok God of War

This is not too surprising, God of War: Ragnarok is one of the best-rated games in 2022. The latest from Santa Monica Studio invites us to discover the duo Kratos and Atreus in a new family epic that is even more epic from 2018. Ragnarök, the famous event in Norse mythology, this time being the scenario backdrop for the game. . Result: 19/20.

This new episode contains a heartwarming, epic, generous and very dense epic. Santa Monica does at least very well in every aspect of its game and promises to make you feel an array of emotions, enough to put aside some of its weaknesses – Conclusion of the JV test.

Bayonetta 3

This year, the famous wizard delivered a new action game bomb on Nintendo Switch. In Bayonetta 3, the mysterious mistress Umbra is given new abilities and a new appearance, perfect for fighting strange creatures called homunculi that appear and ravage New York, causing a tsunami. We love that the gameplay remains fluid and fun, the game-changing summoning of demons, and the scenarios that are more ambitious than usual. Result: 19/20.

Bayonetta 3 definitely marks the return of the Platinum Games wizard. With this new adventure, Bayonetta proves once again that she is the queen of beat’em up by offering combat that is still as exciting and spectacular as ever, which is sublimated here thanks to the many new weapons and demon summon mechanics. how to fight – Conclusion of the JV test.

Horizon: Forbidden West

Horizon returns this year with an episode of Forbidden West, which still sets the story in a post-apocalyptic universe where creatures are mechanical. Aloy, our experienced hunter, is tasked this time with tackling the Hades virus that is capable of wiping out all life on Earth. We defend specifically from this unprecedented epic a luxurious AD and universe, more enjoyable exploration and then strategic and lively battles. Result: 19/20.

Building on the already excellent first episode, Horizon Forbidden West hits the stars, being a true pinnacle for studio Guerrilla Games’ formula but also for the “classic” open world genre in general.

Elder Ring

Voted GOTY 2022 at the Game Awards, Elden Ring marks a collaboration between Hidetaka Miyazaki and George RR Martin, creators of Game of Thrones. Your mission in this unforgiving universe: become the new ruler of the Underworld, a region torn apart by the thirst for the power of the gods, called by the mighty Circle of Eden. We had the pleasure of discovering a huge open world, a wildly successful artistic direction, and a sense of curiosity that was truly rewarded. Result: 18/20.

In its new open world dimension, Elden Ring brilliantly complements FromSoftware’s already highly effective studio formula and offers Souls an ambitious and accessible spiritual sequel. Everything new converges towards this ultimate goal: the open world lets you arm yourself more than ever with the epic, obligatory combat that adventure provides, without feeling like you’re traveling just to farm. – Conclusion of the JV test.

Plague Tales: Requiem

In A Plague Tale: Requiem, Amicia and Hugo depart for Provence after escaping rats and the inquisition in the province of Guyenne. The two heroes are still battling the plague rats, and Hugo’s abilities are still a threat to those who seek power. We love long, well-written adventures and amazing, richer gameplay that offers fun options and great graphics for varied settings. Result: 18/20.

A Plague Tale: Requiem is a confirmation game. It’s about a sister’s faith in her little brother when the world comes crashing down because of their defeat. Then, great talent from Asobo Studios. Offering a richer gameplay without disrupting the formula, this sequel never forgets the essentials regarding the genre it aims at. – Conclusion of the JV test.

NBA 2K23

In the field of sports games, NBA 2K23 is definitely the big winner this year. The 2023 edition of the acclaimed Basketball game license reintroduces the Jordan Challenge, which allows players to reproduce 15 of the most important and spectacular moments of Jordan’s career. We like the better life time, the new and fun animations, or shooting system, the timing is more demanding and fair. Note that we’re talking about the Xbox Series and PS5 versions here, the PC, Switch, PS4 and Xbox One versions fall far below. Result: 18/20.

Michael Jordan’s GOAT can be proud: the PS5 and Xbox Series versions of NBA 2K23 are without a doubt the best work of the license released to date. In addition to the already huge lifespan, further enhanced in solo and multiplayer thanks to the My NBA mode which is driven by 4 era choices, the return of the Jordan Challenge, the co-op mode in My Team and Career Theatre, the gameplay in will please some. – Conclusion of the JV test.

Two Point Campus

From a management game standpoint, Two Point Campus is a very pleasant surprise. After the hospital component, this time we will enter the university world. The aim was then to administer a campus where students would be able to take atypical courses such as “knight school”, or even “spit gastronomy”. The scenarios are updated, the formations are many and varied, and the universe is at the same time funny, sparkling and funny. Result: 18/20.

Two Point Campus makes an almost perfect copy by updating the management game genre. Its excellent two-phase game system allows you to combine the best of both worlds: a game where you can build stress-free and easily, and a game where you can observe the results of your work with pleasure. – Conclusion of the JV test.

Rogue Legacy 2

On the indie side, we really like Rogue Legacy 2! Studio Cellar Door Games offers this year a sequel to its first success; In this “Rogue Lineage,” the concept is pretty simple: players must explore a procedurally generated world divided into biomes populated by bosses. With each death, you must start the journey again and choose an heir with random genetic attributes with several classes that offer different play styles. Result: 18/20.

Addictive, varied, precise, coherent, relevant, Rogue Legacy 2 serves as the ideal sequel to the 2013 cult game that popularized rogue-lite. But more than doing better at every level (class, weapon, trait), studio Cellar Door Games is setting new benchmarks in the genre thanks to its clever mix of metroidvania and randomly generated levels. – Conclusion of the JV test.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is definitely a can’t-miss role-playing game this summer on the Nintendo Switch. Players are invited to discover the world of Aionios, where the nation of Keves, developed using its technology, and Agnus, who specializes in magic, are at war. The six armies of the two warring parties will become the heart of the intrigue of this conflict. We can enjoy captivating and moving storylines revolving around war and death and find a charming and well-developed cast of characters. Result: 18/20.

With Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Nintendo Switch welcomes an important new role-playing game to its catalog. Far from being the lighthearted tone of the second episode, the title delivers a captivating scenario, rich in twists and emotions, aided by a beautiful soundtrack. – Conclusion of the JV test.
