![]() This year did not contain anything major from Rockstar or Naughty Dog or Nintendo. Horizon Forbidden West and Elden Ring both come out in the same week! How will any of us survive?Ĭataloguing our favorites of the year, we were again reminded of how the evacuation of certain canonical, discourse-sparking games afforded other, smaller players in the industry the chance to thrive. Peering over the edge into 2022, we’re already bracing for the absolute gauntlet in January and February. In a year in which the calendar was unclogged by various COVID-related delays, we’re all still underwater. ![]() Huge triple-A releases like Age of Empires IV, Forza Horizon 5, and Halo Infinite just made landfall, and indie studios continue to keep pace with Inscryption, The Artful Escape, and Sable. But it’s now December, and I, at least, am once again hopelessly behind. We kicked off 2021 expecting a dry year for video-game releases, finally giving us all the time to chip away at our backlogs.
