Got to be Stray:

Graphically stunning on the Alienware QD-OLED
Great atmosphere/setting
Intriguing storyline (if a bit short)
Fun gameplay (maybe nothing groundbreaking, but definitely engaging & and fluid)
Good performance
Fantastic soundtrack
CATS!!

OK; not trying to be controversial but if God of War, a game released on PS4 (which I played it on then) in 2018 is getting votes as game of the year for PC in 2022, isn't anyone else thinking WTF?

I love my PC; I love it's flexibility, but what the hell?

Edit: Stray is great but, I played it on my PS5...(£450 last September, rolling cost of my current "main" PC is £LOL, as I don't want to do the maths...)

I don't see the issue with your first point, unless the point you were making, is how can it be that there's no better games on PC than something that came out on ps4 4 years ago?

I guess you could look at it as proof that a quality game stands the test of time.

Apologies if I left room for doubt. Yes, indeed I am questioning that no better games in some's judgement have not been released in the intervening 4 years.

Well it was the best game I played. There were some other close ones, but it was the best.

What is your GOTY and makes it much better than GoW?

It's a great game. Playing through it again currently on PC. My comment wasn't directed so much as to the game itself, but to the current condition of PC gaming itself.

I've been building PCs since 1994, primary for gaming for myself, family and friends. I guess I've just had an epiphany regarding the state of PC gaming.

Apologies for trashing your thread.

It has to be a game released in 2022. So nothing to do with 4 years.

If it was the best game you played that's brilliant. It really is a very good game that has been released on PC in 2022.

I've taken the rules from the OP to heart regarding my GOTY, and I posted it earlier (Trek to Yomi).

Trek to Yomi eh? Not sure that would make my top ten, let alone GOTY

That's your opinion, so I won't argue with it. I'm glad you enjoyed the games you did.

TOW · 12 Dec 2022 at 01:59

I'm hopeful my GOTY is being released tomorrow...

Somewhat agree with the above poster, God of War is a port not really a "new" 2022 release.

Great game though. Unfortunately I don't have a game I'd consider GOTY for this year.

What is PC gaming coming to, when so many people vote that they do not even have a GOTY

VaderDSL · 12 Dec 2022 at 06:31

Terra Invicta for me.

Yaayuh! · 12 Dec 2022 at 06:43

No Game / Nothing

azazl187 · 12 Dec 2022 at 07:45

I actually cannot think of a game that was released in 2022 that I've played and really really enjoyed....

...or when people pick a 2018 PS4 game as their PC GOTY in 2022
