Games I played in 2022 ranked

New year, same old set up with new games and looser restrictions. Only requirement is that I have to have a good feel for them and see what the primary gameplay loop is about.

Demon's Crest
Demon's Crest
Oh, so a perfectly ok game...THAT'S where Joshscorcher got his name "Firebrand" from!
Death Stranding: Director's Cut
Death Stranding: Director's Cut
Totally Reliable Delivery Service exists. This game is just that, and it's lucky it came out first. Still doesn't mean I rather play this than that.
Dan the Man
Dan the Man
A nice little tribute to the fighting side-scrolling games of the past.
Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077
The anime that saved the video game...is way better. 9/10. Watch that instead of this game and watch the final boss of the anime get killed on youtube.
Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course
Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course
Definitely a bit shorter than the original Cuphead, but damn if it isn't just as fun! If I packaged Cuphead with it's DLC, it definitely would be a bit higher up on my favorite games of all time's list!
Cuphead
Cuphead
This game has no right to be this game 5 years later. The best boss rush type of game I have played with some of the smoothest controls and best animations I have ever seen.
Cult of the Lamb
Cult of the Lamb
Showed me just how fun town building can be, especially if the roguelite element of the game is rather lackluster.
Crumble
Crumble
Step 1: Slingshot yourself with your tongue.
Step 2: Go fast.
Step 3: ???
Step 4: PROFIT!
Crossy Road Castle
Crossy Road Castle
Better than the road version, but can still wear out its welcome if you try to play it all at once.
Columns
Columns
Oh yeah, this game exists.
Chungus Rampage in Big Forest
Chungus Rampage in Big Forest
At least it didn't involve any inhumane working conditions.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Thank you Nintendo for giving this game away for free for a week with NSO membership. The game is actually pretty fun, even if annoying with some of the bonus objectives.
Bring You Home
Bring You Home
Goddamn Alike Studios is so underrated it isn't funny.
Boris and the Dark Survival
Boris and the Dark Survival
This was actively boring to play through. It just feels so mindless.
Bloons TD 6
Bloons TD 6
Definitely the peak of tower defense games. I'm not a big fan of how they block off abilities until you use towers enough times, but I can see that being an interesting design choice to incentivize people into trying out different towers.
Banjo-Kazooie
Banjo-Kazooie
A fun game, this Banjo-Kazooie, but rate it too high up, it can't be! Sure I love the Monster Mansion and Freezy Peak, but there is more here that I managed to seek. With Rusty Buckets and the Cavern of Clanker, makes me curse out and my feelings feel danker. Add in a camera that makes aiming a chore, and I can't see just why this game is so widely adored. Nice to see Banjo and his friend make it to smash, but another go on this game so soon is one I'll pass.

Still a solid 7/10, just wanted to voice some criticisms that I never saw for this game.
Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning
Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning
You can tell this game was made to be reacted to and screamed at.
Balan Wonderworld
Balan Wonderworld
Yeah, I put Balan Wonderworld above Crumble. I genuinely like this game. It's definitely a victim of being rushed out with some parts needing to be better implemented, but it's still a fun time in my opinion. The art, music, and even the gameplay with the costumes still put a smile on my face.
Bad End Theater
Bad End Theater
What a nice story with nice characters. I hope the developer of the game isn't involved in any controversies that would make talking about this game hard to do...
Arms
Arms
A better game was just in arms reach, but alas...
Among Us
Among Us
Almost impossible to not see it as a meme game at this point, but hey at least it's still fun.
All of You
All of You
Yet another grand game from Alike Game Studios; this studio just has a nice solid track record for phone games.
Adventures With Anxiety!
Adventures With Anxiety!
A realistic portrayal of anxiety shows that just because it's annoying most of the time, it is trying to help you and wants to be tamed.
