The 20 Best Video Games of 2022 So Far
Which games impressed professional reviewers the most during the first half of the year? Above, we rank the best-reviewed videogames released between January 1, 2022 and June 30, 2022 by Metascore. Games must have at least 7 reviews from professional critics to be eligible for inclusion.
Note that ...
If a game was released on multiple platforms, we included only the version receiving the largest total number of reviews (usually, but not always, the PS5 or PS4 version).
Multi-game compilations and newly released ports of games released in prior years on other platforms are excluded, unless they are substantially different from the prior release(s) (for example, an HD remaster of a previous-gen game that also adds some new content). We have also excluded DLC.
Indie developer Berzerk Studio is behind this crowdfunded 2D action-adventure platformer that finds you playing as Alcedor, a knight who finds his village under the sway of dark magic—and plenty of monsters. You'll have a chance to equip your knight with better gear as the game progresses, but the choices you make along the way will have repercussions (and trigger different endings).
“Infernax is a great mix of pixel-art nostalgia and modern narrative design that never fails to entertain.” —God Is a Geek
