In keeping with Supermassive’s previous games, The Quarry puts you in control of a group of characters - in this case, nine camp counselors who are stuck at the camp an extra night - as they explore the scenery and do their best to survive when things get hairy (read: potentially lethal). And now we have The Quarry, a terrifying wilderness romp that touches on all of the corny traditions of one of America’s original horror settings: the sleepaway camp. Mike Mahardyĭeveloper Supermassive Games has carved out a space for itself by trading on horror tropes - its breakout hit Until Dawn put a group of vacationing teenagers through the wringer in a remote mountain cabin, a decaying sanatorium, and an abandoned mine shaft, before the Dark Pictures anthology jumped from a boat at sea to a creepy Midwestern ghost town to a desert tomb. That Neon White can be so elegant and simple, while also imparting such strong grudges and woefully cramped wrists, is quite the achievement for a game about jumping from one platform to another. If this is a smoothie, then it is equal parts sweet, tangy, satisfying, and also dripping down your face, because in the time it took you to read this paragraph, your friend has just beaten your score again. Neon White is also, in a small but important way, a deck-building card game.
Neon White has reinvigorated the chase for top leaderboard spots, and reinforced the importance of milliseconds, because sometimes, a millisecond is all it takes to climb one spot higher than your friend.ĭeveloper Ben Esposito of Angel Matrix has called Neon White a “ smoothie” of inspirations, one that pulls as much from friction-defying Counter-Strike surf maps as it does from gravity-defying Half-Life and Quake jump maps. If you’re furious with a friend, colleague, or significant other, there’s a chance it’s because of this game. Image: Angel Matrix/Annapurna Interactive

We’ll also be doing the same for the best movies, the best anime, and the best TV shows of 2022. We’ll be updating this page throughout the year, with the most recent releases toward the top, so you can stay up to date with all of the excitement (or at least as up to date as possible).
So, we’ve taken it upon ourselves to help you separate the wheat from the chaff - to recommend our favorite games from the slew of ambitious titles that come out as the months go by. And as we made it out of the hectic AAA release schedule, we took the time to search for hidden gems, whether through telltale Twitch numbers, pop-up Steam sales, or dormant subscription services.
Whether because of shifting release calendars, less reliance on the retail sphere, or delays from the COVID-19 pandemic, the early months of 2022 became a perfect storm of video game release mayhem.
