God of War Ragnarok<\/strong> has surprisingly snatched the top spot on TIME’s Best Video Games of 2022, ahead of Elden Ring which sits on the list in fourth place. Despite FromSoftware’s epic adventure receiving top marks from critics and fans, both The Quarry and Horizon Forbidden West sneaked ahead in the rankings as well. Meanwhile, four PlayStation-exclusive games made the list, showing the strength of PS5’s catalog this year.<\/p>\n

Every game in TIME Best Games of 2022 list is available on PS5<\/h2>\n

Here’s the full list of TIME’s Top 10 Best Video Games of 2022:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. God of War: Ragnarok<\/li>\n
  2. Horizon Forbidden West<\/li>\n
  3. The Quarry<\/li>\n
  4. Elden Ring<\/li>\n
  5. Stray<\/li>\n
  6. The Last of Us Part 1<\/li>\n
  7. Sifu<\/li>\n
  8. Resident Evil Village: Shadows of Rose<\/li>\n
  9. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga<\/li>\n
  10. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The listicle doesn’t provide a clear explanation for why Elden Ring, which won Game of the Year in the Japan Game Awards 2022, is all the way in fourth place. That said, the description for God of War Ragnarok says that it’s \u201can epic and emotional saga.\u201d Likewise, the article praises Horizon Forbidden West for \u201cits emotional heft [and] memorable characterization,\u201d while highlighting The Quarry’s \u201clikable characters you want to see survive the night.\u201d So it would seem that this TIME list favors games that have more traditional characters similar to those in film and television.<\/p>\n

    PS5 exclusives have also dominated the nominations for The Game Awards, with Stray, Horizon Forbidden West, and God of War Ragnarok all nominated for Game of the Year.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
