A Plague Tale: Requiem

Asobo’s follow-up to 2019’s A Plague Tale: Innocence expanded upon its predecessor, with more of an emphasis on exploration, sandbox stealth gameplay, jaw-dropping action/adventure set pieces, a memorable narrative, and massive tides of horrifying plague rats to navigate. A Plague Tale: Requiem can be played on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, where it is available for immediate download by Xbox Game Pass subscribers.

The combined writing efforts George R. R. Martin and director Hidetaka Miyazaki brought the latest evolution of Soulsborne gameplay to life in the form of Elden Ring, the newest entry in FromSoftware’s legendary catalog of game of the year nominees and winners. The challenging RPG is available to play on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.

God of War: Ragnarok

Santa Monica Studio seeks their second “Game of the Year” title at The Game Awards with God of War: Ragnarok, one of the front runners alongside the aforementioned Elden Ring.

Another of the many sequels nominated for game of the year, Horizon Forbidden West continues Aloy’s adventures through its sci-fi open world of dangerous machines. Guerilla Games second entry into the Horizon series blends Action/Adventure and roleplaying game mechanics, and is available on PS4 and PS5.

Stray

The “cat game” that took over social media during July 2022 was somewhat of a surprise game of the year nominee, but nevertheless, BlueTwelve Studio’s new adventure title remains one of the year’s most memorable experiences. Stray is available on PC, PS4, and PS5, and can be immediately downloaded by PlayStation Plus subscribers, who are in the Extra tier or above.

Xenoblade Chronicles
