    My favorite games are sonic frontiers, god of war, spider-Man, Mario, the legends of Zelda breath of the wild, NBA 2K23, GTA, Horizon, and Minecraft

  2. Red Daix on March 12, 2023 at 6:09 am

    300 hrs on Elden Ring, couldn’t feel shit for the characters. In less than 20 hrs, Ragnarök did it 5 times better

  3. Eresse on March 12, 2023 at 6:09 am

    Can’t believe Sonic Frontiers is finally on a Top 10 games list.
    Thank you WatchMojo! 💙

  4. Sage of Fire on March 12, 2023 at 6:10 am

    Not even a mention of Xenoblade 3? Really?

  5. James on March 12, 2023 at 6:10 am

    Cannot lie, I’m very salty Sifu got no love

  6. TheRManProds on March 12, 2023 at 6:11 am

    GOD OF WAR RAGNAROK IS GAME OF THE YEAR!

  7. Mandra Snips on March 12, 2023 at 6:11 am

    your opinion is wrong

  8. Shinobito1 on March 12, 2023 at 6:12 am

    Metal: Hellsinger really deserves to be on this list.

  9. JakeG1500 on March 12, 2023 at 6:16 am

    Finally Bayonetta 3 getting some much deserved love

  10. AnimationStation on March 12, 2023 at 6:19 am

    Thank you WatchMojo, thank you so much for putting Frontiers on this list! It really is one of, if not the, best game of 2022!

    Yes I personally think #9 is a bit low, the fact that it even made this list at all (especially after Jim Sterling’s awful review) is a blessing!💙

  11. John Fugate on March 12, 2023 at 6:20 am

    Call of Duty Modern Warfare2 2022 is my favorite

  12. jaysha P. on March 12, 2023 at 6:21 am

    Place horizon forbidden west #5 in that list is an insult

  13. Lord LOC on March 12, 2023 at 6:25 am

    Look I’m not going to say this list is wrong or that WatchMojo puts out lists like this all the time, but this list should just be called "8 AAA games that were good and 2 indie games we felt needed to be added" etc. There were so many other awesome indie or AA games that came out this year. I won’t argue whether any of these games deserve to be on a best of list or not (especially Elden Ring since I am not a Souls fan at all) but there were amazing games all year (including Shredder’s Revenge which only got an honorable mention as it is!). Glad to at least see Nightmare Reaper and Nobody Saves the World included though, even if there were better indie shooters/games this year.

  14. Jordan Keefe on March 12, 2023 at 6:26 am

    MY favorite game of the year is Poppy Playtime Chapter 2

  15. The Black Diamond[TM] on March 12, 2023 at 6:26 am

    Arguably the second biggest year for video games after 2018. In 2018 we got Red Dead Redemption 2 and God of War , in 2022 we got Elden Ring and Ragnarok. Arguably those 2 are the only games you need to play that came out in 2022.

  16. Gergő Repcsák on March 12, 2023 at 6:28 am

    No one:

    Ghost: 💀

  17. Ashton Lagleva on March 12, 2023 at 6:30 am

    My favourite video games of 2022 are Persona 5 Royal and Splatoon 3.

  18. ryan monostori on March 12, 2023 at 6:32 am

    God of war ragnarok should be 1

  19. WatchMojo.com on March 12, 2023 at 6:34 am

    Did you play any of these games? What’s your Game of the Year? Let us know in the comments!

    The fact that you have Sonic Frontiers, but no Neon White, Tunic, Vampire Survivors, Dorfromantik, or any of the countless games that were better than Sonic Frontiers is insane. WM just too afraid of weirdo Sonic fans.

  21. Romolu Djabari on March 12, 2023 at 6:39 am

    1.REQUIEM Is Better Than INNOCENCE IMO.
    2.RAGNAROK Shits All Over The Overrated ELDEN-RING.

  22. Holden Kopman on March 12, 2023 at 6:41 am

    Im sad High on Life is not on this list

  23. Neo Gamersk on March 12, 2023 at 6:41 am

    Nightmare reaper = warlock project

  24. damien breslin on March 12, 2023 at 6:42 am

    Only number 1 and 2 belong on the list

  25. julian negron on March 12, 2023 at 6:42 am

    0:30 Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
    1:18 Sonic Frontiers.
    1:59 A Plague Tale: Requiem.
    2:56 Bayonetta 3.
    3:45 Nightmare Reaper.
    4:37 Horizon Forbidden West.
    5:30 Mario+Rabbids Sparks of Hope.
    6:14 Nobody Save The World.
    6:58 God of War: Ragnarok.
    8:45 Elden Ring.

  26. Dustey y on March 12, 2023 at 6:45 am

    Surprised to not see Marvel Midnight Suns on list, or even honourable mention. Having a blast playing through it Right now.

  27. Spidrist on March 12, 2023 at 6:45 am

    sonic frontiers being on this list at all, let alone ABOVE KIRBY is laughable

  28. Jesus Christ on March 12, 2023 at 6:46 am

    Where is fifa 23 ?

  29. Da Great Zoink on March 12, 2023 at 6:47 am

    The fact that I’ve seen plenty of Best Games of 2022 and all have had Sonic Frontiers in it makes me so happy for the blue blur

  30. Eresse on March 12, 2023 at 6:48 am

    I was in a class, the teacher gave us this video, I fell straight to my favorite Sonic game…
    I thanked him for giving me this video.

    I WAS SO EXCITED 😃😃😃😃😃

  31. Hansha on March 12, 2023 at 6:48 am

    I’m sorry WatchMojo, but I disagree. I think Plague Tale: Requiem is superior to Innocence in every way and goes beyond. I’ve literally replayed Innocence after Requiem and you can tell how much better it is.

  32. HM Brandon on March 12, 2023 at 6:48 am

    I’ve played only three games from last year, two were Pokemon the other was Ragnarok

  33. C M on March 12, 2023 at 6:48 am

    Lets all NOT forget. Arthur Morgan is the best character in video game history in RDR2 (best story mode game in history)

  34. Kirbygamer92 on March 12, 2023 at 6:50 am

    Really should have made this top 20. This has been a really great year for games. Agree?

  35. Roi Itzkovich on March 12, 2023 at 6:52 am

    Sad Xenoblade 3 ain’t on here, but Sonic Frontiers is so I’ll let that slide.

  36. Koka Margali on March 12, 2023 at 6:53 am

    so basically terrible year for gaming

  37. Rishabh Rockstar on March 12, 2023 at 6:53 am

    I just loved Requiem

  38. قائم ال محمد ³¹³ 🕊️ 🍃 on March 12, 2023 at 6:54 am

    GOD OF WAR RAGNAROK ❄️

  39. NudieBarVIP on March 12, 2023 at 6:54 am

    You only rank single player games? No love for Grounded?

  40. Akatsuki boy on March 12, 2023 at 6:55 am

    I’m not a big fan of American games other than gta because other games suck in terms of storyline, complete boring shit, I love zelda final fantasy or klonoa, I miss the days of sega, nintendo and playstation when japanese companies dominated in games market they made a great anime The West is really creating Another Velma or another Game of Thrones complete official muck

  41. kratos solos ficton,gow is best game of all time on March 12, 2023 at 6:55 am

    Watching elden ring as #1,now I can have a sound sleep in night .

  42. GratefulEraser on March 12, 2023 at 6:55 am

    GOD OF WAR FANS KEEP MALDING

  43. Georgii Kuvshinnikov on March 12, 2023 at 6:56 am

    I am wondering if it’s still 2012 out there

  44. ; 0 on March 12, 2023 at 6:57 am

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is the best game ever and there wouldn’t be anything like it

  45. kawaaiii sewstta on March 12, 2023 at 6:57 am

    MW ii entered the chat💬 and destroy all the game careers in swag way 🌌🌌😎😎😎😎😎🥸🤠🤠😋😋🤗

  46. TheRManProds on March 12, 2023 at 6:58 am

    YES KIRBY IS ON THE LIST!

  47. Shibble on March 12, 2023 at 7:02 am

    Goat simulator 3!

  48. J.D. Laney on March 12, 2023 at 7:04 am

    I’m convinced that real humans don’t work at WM. It’s a computer algorithm that works to make the most generic, inoffensive lists possible, while still being wrong most of the time.

  49. Joon Pak on March 12, 2023 at 7:05 am

    Whenever I watch WatchMojo, I know the list itself is probably going to suck, but the presentation of the sucky list is going to be well done and entertaining! 👍

  50. Austin Fisher on March 12, 2023 at 7:06 am

    Not even an hm for Sifu lol
