The Best, Worst, and Blandest of 2022 - Zero Punctuation

This week on Zero Punctuation, Yahtzee recounts the five best, worst, and blandest video games of 2022, including Elden Ring & Saints Row.

I will say that in defense of Gotham Knight and the superhero genre. I do agree that you want to feel like the superhero on the box when you play a game like this. But I disagree with Yahtzee in that I think Gotham Knights does a great job of making you feel like the people on the box, the problem is that the people on the box suck. Playing as Batman is kind of boring, it's worse when you're just playing as a crew of wannabe Batmans.

I am surprised Trek to Yomi even got on his blands list. It doesn't upset me, but whatever. You damn right Frontiers and Ragnarök ain't going to be on either of your bad or bland list. I will give Yahtzee that.

There is a subtle at the end of the video where he acknowledges they are good, leave him alone lol.

I noticed. He's a big man. He can take it. He was being harsh; I was only throwing it back at him.

The video has made me realize that Yahtzee and I have absolutely nothing in common with games we like. Lol. And you'd think after watching him all these years, I would be able to predict his choices, but nope I have no clue. The shit I think he'd love, he hates, and the stuff I thought he would hate, he loves. It's like all his reviews have been prepping me for nothing at all.

I figured that out when I was 18.

By 2011, I could mostly predict what his reaction would be, but not everything I got right. It eventually got to a point where I stopped caring. I will say that I did smile, when he enjoyed Streets of Rage 4. Even then I have my disagreements with him on the game being too difficult. You played God Hand, Yahztee (or so you claimed in your MadWorld review). That game is way tougher than all four SOR games combined. He should be used to this type of tough game. That, and he seemed to forget/didn't know that the old SOR games have continues, and let you start immediately where you died. The only brawlers that had you start the stage over after losing all lives are most SNES brawlers, when not playing in co-op. Assuming the game had co-op.

I mean his reviews have always been for more comedy than for any real recommendations. Still it is nice to see which way a reviewer you like sways on any given title.

Im just glad FF7 Remake didnt make his top, mid, bot list for 2020 or i would have rioted.

Tell that to the sycophants of his misaimed fandom, or those who (still) treat angry reviewers as the gospel. I've said before, and I will say it again: Being comedy or satire does not make one immune, nor excuse someone from criticism. You and I both know people used that excuse on a game Yahtzee reviewed, and those who hated or were indifferent towards the game. When it was a game or franchise they love or actually cared about, then they drop the "it's a comedy!" attitude or say, "Yahtzee is wrong, misguided, too harsh, or not harsh enough!".
