Top PC Games You Should Try in 2022

There’s no denying the fact that the gaming industry is currently booming and developers and publishers are constantly lifting the standards. Thanks to that fact, players are provided with the best gaming experience.

As this sector keeps evolving, we are extremely likely to witness some fantastic releases in the upcoming period. But while we wait for those games to hit the market, we will have to play with what we have on our hands. That is exactly what we are going to talk about in this article. We will be taking a look at some top-rated PC games that you should try in 2022.

So, without any further ado, let’s check out our personal list.

Elden Ring

Elden Ring is without a doubt, the most talked-about PC game of 2022. This action-role title was developed by FromSoftware, and directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, who collaborated with the legendary George R.R. Martin.

It was published by Bandai Namco Entertainment and it tells a unique tale in which players actually play in a third-person perspective. The main focus of its gameplay is combat, which heavily relies on character-building elements and exploration.

The game takes place in Lands Between after the Elden Ring has been destroyed. Elden Ring’s shards, called Great Runes, are in possession of Queen Marika the Eternal’s demigod offspring. The shards corrupt them with power and the player’s goal is to ultimately become the Elden Lord.

Need for Speed: Heat

Fans of racing will be pleased to hear that EA Games finally listened to the gamers’ thoughts and put their wishes first while creating Need for Speed: Heat. This game is truly revolutionizing and it opens up a whole new chapter in the series.

One of the main features in Need for Speed: Heat is the fact that you have both day and night modes and the prizes in these modes are different. During the daytime, you can collect cash, which is used to purchase new parts. On the other hand, nighttime racing gives you RP (reputation points), which are used to unlock new illegal tuning parts.

Police chases, high-speed racing, breath-taking graphics and a great storyline are in place for those that are willing to try this game. The best part about it is that EA Games has finally taken microtransactions out of the equation. Oh, and modifying your cars here has no limits, which is a reminder of the glory days of Need for Speed: Most Wanted and Need for Speed: Underground 1 and 2.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was labelled as one of the best games in the recent period. While in its early development stages, developers and publishers estimated that the game would go on to sell around 5 million copies.

Thanks to the quality and attention to detail, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order managed to go over the expectations and sell over 10 million copies. The gameplay revolves around Cal Kestis, a Jedi who survived the Empire’s purge during Order 66.

As he is working and keeping a low profile, his cover is eventually blown and he ends up running from the Empire and the Inquisitors that want to kill him. While on the run, he gathers a crew and they go on a quest to find a Holocron that contains a list of all Force-sensitive children in the galaxy.

However, they are not the only ones looking for the Holocron as the Inquisitors want to find it and take the children to train them in the ways of the dark side of the Force. This game really embodies the Star Wars galaxy and if you play it, you will be able to explore numerous planets that are not that popular in the movies and series.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was so nicely received by the fans that the publisher ended up announcing a sequel titled Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. The teaser trailer of this game is shown below.

Forza Horizon 5

Forza Horizon 5 was released at the end of 2021 and this is yet another high-adrenaline racing game that will undoubtedly exceed your expectations. It is the 12th instalment in the Forza Horizon series and it is an open-world game which takes place on the streets of Mexico.

It is 50% larger than Forza Horizon 4 and the attention to detail, visual effects and overall graphics are just astonishing. That is the reason why Forza Horizon 5 was labelled a massive commercial success as it recorded around 10 million players just one week after it was released.

One of the unique features of this game is the fact that it supports ray tracing. Other interesting modifications that are available here are engine swaps, custom liveries, drivetrain swaps, etc.

Call of Duty: Vanguard

Our final listing is none other than a Call of Duty game. There’s no denying the fact that CoD is a legendary gaming series that has provided us with tons of classics throughout the years. Call of Duty: Vanguard.

This game’s storyline revolves around a special unit that is created during the end of World War II. Its task is to deal with new and unique threats unknown to the general public. Its campaign mode and multiplayer mode received massive praise, but critics stated that its Zombie mode lacked a bit of innovation.

Nevertheless, Call of Duty is a must-try for all fans of first-person shooter games.
