While waiting for the Game Awards (December 8), Geoff Keighley’s ceremony during which the GOTY 2022 will be designated, some editorial staff have already elected their game of the year. This is the case of Time Magazine, which unveiled the list of the ten games it enjoyed the most in 2022. In first place, we find God of War Ragnarök, the latest masterpiece from SIE Santa Monica Studio which all action-adventure games should be inspired by according to the medium. And while we thought that Elden Ring would finish second, From Software’s game finally only comes in fourth position, preceded by the excellent Horizon: Forbidden West (2nd) and The Quarry (3rd).
For the record, Elden Ring was named GOTY 2022 at the Golden Joystick Awards, winning a total of five awards (Game of the Year, Best Visual Design, Critics’ Choice, Studio of the Year, Best Multiplayer Game). There is no doubt that the fight will be much tighter at the Game Awards: Elden Ring has been nominated in seven categories, while God of War Ragnarök can potentially win ten prizes.
