Admittedly it's not too surprising that it would happen in these threads because I specifically always go for 2022 games in my list so I'm gonna hit most of the biggest releases unless something obscure catches my eye. This time it was really just Harvestella where I broke the mold.

A huge thanks as always to Rarity and VideoGames, but also all the people who posted such cool lists, made me aware of games I should play, and all the creative and clever ways people put their lists together. Love this thread every year, already jonesing for the 2023 version.

Yeah it's a game where if you have any desire at all for that kind of thing you'll play it and if you play it there's so much of it and so much variety that you'll find a build that appeals to you and a couple of really memorable situations or scenarios and then it's a lock for your goty list

Once again this has ended up a highlight of this wild forum. Thank you so much to Rarity and VG for all your hard work, and I’m so pleased I was finally able to help out in a small way with this thread I love so much. And thank you to every goon who submitted a list and interacted in this countdown, you all make it such a beautiful joyous group experience. Can we get bigger next year???

i don't know, that trailer is possibly the most impressive video game trailer i've ever seen and if i didn't already own a ps5 i'm fairly sure the insanity in that tralier would convince me.

the game looks beyond exciting and addictive.

For reference on how much of a blowout this was:

when Disco Elysium won, it was by a lot. Got nearly double the points that second place got. There were a lot fewer lists that year than this year, but it got roughly one third of the total number of points it would have gotten if every single goon listed it at #1

Elden Ring, by the same metric, got over half of its possible points

  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4
  • 5
