Biggest one I can think of is Pokemon Legends. Most of the rest will have to wait until I can get a PS5.
What are you most looking forward to in 2022?
- Thread starter CriticalGaming
- Start date
Pokemon Legends is a major one because it the shake up to formula that moving to consoles is what I liked to see from Pokemon. Though the past games and bugs in the Gen 4 remakes have me apprehensive.
Horizon Forbidden West is the major one I am look for in terms of the big releases.

Like many, my answer is Elden Ring.
But not just because it's a new FromSoftware game. It will for me be the first time that:
- I play a FS game on release. I got into the series with Bloodborne a couple of years after it came out, then went back to play all the Dark Souls. I played Sekiro a year after it came out.
- I buy and play any game on release. I honestly can't remember if I've ever even done that. I wait until games are out for a while, get reviewed, patched and discounted. But I guess I'm a FS fanboy now and I trust them.
It will be the first time that I'm Part of the Conversation! I will be playing along with all the streamers and reviewers and FS nuts. It will take me like half a year to beat it because there will be less youtube videos helping me cheat. Can't wait to suffer.

Salt and Sanctuary is getting a sequel right? Im looking forward to that. Maybe the next zelda but that game still seems WAY far off.
You will be happy to know that this is looking to be FROM’s most open-ended game yet, so at least you will have a lot of options at your disposal with which to partake in the suffering.
Funny thing is I have seen so many FS fans worry that the game will be too easy. I am actually hoping it is easy, lol. The difficulty is my least favorite part of FS. I'm here for the setting, exploration, discovery. Sure, yeah, I love finally defeating a boss, but I don't like the run-backs and the poison swamps and the invasions and... well, the run-backs, ugh. I really am looking forward to a FS that isn't ALL git-gud and beat my head against the wall 1000x.
Oh God, you reminded me of FROMs wierd obsession with POISON FUCKING SWAMPS. I can only imagine how many will be in Elden Ring.
I played the network test version, and even without much tweaking from that the final game will still be harder than a wedding dick. But the main difference now will be again, having a lot more ways to tackle the challenges so it won’t feel like having to brute-force through a lot of the game. Exploration will be a big boon towards the different ways around that here.
Yeah I only saw bits and pieces for reviews and network test but I did listen to Nick fighting some boss 100x and... yeah, so that.
*sigh* I dunno, maybe I'll sort of play ER in bits and have other lighter fare on the side or something. Whatever was in me to platinum Bloodborne a few years ago is gone. Maybe it'll come back with ER.
I also like starting an area and pushing through and finishing it rather than running away because there is nothing worse than that feeling of... you go one way, blocked, you go another way, stuck, you go another way, too hard. I listened to a bit of dunkey play it and that's what he encountered.
But what I do look forward to is the community. One of the best parts of playing FS games is going on the subreddits and finding incredibly helpful tippers and supporters.

This is really ticking a lot of the right boxes for me, especially with Lorn working on the soundtrack. Doubt it’ll see release this year but looking forward to seeing more of it.
Forspoken is one I looking forward to but won't be getting to play for a while because it's PS5 and I'm somewhat holding out for the next PS5 revision with more storage
Tactical Breach Wizards - Kind of Xcom but a Swat team game but you're Wizards. From the maker of Gunpoint and Heat Signature and just the depth on show so far in the game that's still in development is mad.
Choo Choo Charles - AKA the indie survival game with the giant killer Spider train
The Pale Beyond - an arctic survival game based on the idea of a northern expedition going wrong
Time Melters - A Strategy game where you fight battles with your past self as you ally and your manipulate time to create time duplicates of yourself to play out actions and fight the battle
Faith the Unholy Trinity - Minimalist horror game trilogy series
Sonic Frontiers - Keeping an eye on it but not super hyped yet but interested enough to watch and see with it which is the first Sonic game in years I've thought was doing that for

Sekiro was the first FROM game I played anywhere close to when it came out(like a month or so after). I got into the series rather late so I think I played Dark Souls not long before Dark Souls 3 came out so I had to catch up this whole time. Now I'm all caught up except for Demons Souls(and I've actually played some of it, but I haven't been able to get myself back into it to beat it).
