Top 10 Best PlayStation 4 and 5 Games of 2022

Hey, are you looking for something to play on your PlayStation 4 and 5 in 2022? Well, we've got you covered with a bunch of games here. Also there are even more games out there that we couldn't even fit on this list. So, we're looking forward to hearing your own personal lists in the comments. Be sure to leave one. But anyway, let's get started off here with One.

 

The Day Before.

 

This looks like The Last of Us meets The Division. It's an open world, survival MMO, where you're, you guessed it, fighting to survive. It has your typical survival stuff like crafting and looting resources wherever you go, while fighting off other survivors and zombies.

We've gotten a good amount of gameplay from this, and it's shaping up to be everything we've ever wanted from this type of game. Some sort of zombie survival MMO. Like, this is what a lot of us wanted from Day Z in a really cool city area with great atmosphere. We're really hoping it's able to live up to the expectation that it's setting.

 

Gotham Knights

 

should be releasing this year after many delays. And this is a new take on the Bat family in a cooperative beat 'em up Arkham-style game.

Technically this does not take place in the Arkham timeline. It's a different thing. This is by Warner Brothers Montreal, the folks behind the underrated Batman Arkham Origins, and this open world Gotham game pits you as the Bat family members dealing with the fact that Batman and Commissioner Gordon are dead, and they have to face off against a bunch of classic Gotham villains, as well as the Court of Owls. A lot of people thought this was just gonna be like a straight up live service game, but apparently you can play it completely on your own and just enjoy the story, which makes us very happy. And you cannot but really love that Arkham, beat 'em up style combat. It's here again, but with more cooperative elements, and way more abilities specific to each

very unique character. And the story, if it's just a good Batman, Bat family story, it could be awesome. We're keeping an eye on this one because we just love Batman and comic books, so keep your eyes peeled.

 

Evil West.

 

Have you ever wanted to be a cool western version of Van Helsing? Well, like, Evil West will let you seemingly actually live that out. You play as a vampire hunting cowboy man as you make your way through the vampire hoards that are terrorizing this fictional west. Combat here looks really intense and you'll have a bunch of different vampire hunting tools and weapons at your disposal. It seems like the combat can get pretty intense and gory, and it has some real gross looking enemies. And, even better than that, you can also play with a friend. We're just big fans of anything vampire-related here at Gameranx. And we're also fans of games that kind of look and give off the vibe and kind of bring back the memories of those like mid-2000s action games that were really unique and weird.

King of Fighters 15.

 

What more is there to be said about a game on its 15th entry? The people behind the King of Fighters games really absolutely know what they're doing. This time around, it's launching with 39 fighters that'll be available at launch. There's the three-v-three battle system making its return, with a shatter strike mechanic that should hopefully make things a little bit interesting for veteran players. And the campaign is actually getting hyped up quite a bit this time around, and will apparently end with an explosive climax. Now, it's been like six years since the release of the last entry in the series.

 

Showa American Story.

 

This is a wild and weird, seemingly experimental game that we think we're gonna be tell about a bit more on the Site.

This takes place in a weird alternate history world in like a hyper sci-fi 80s, where Japan occupies the United States, and you're just this badass chick kicking ass with Matlock combat and guns.

It's an action RPG that clearly references a lot of B movies from all different cultures. It's seemingly open world and has a bunch of human characters and monster characters. And it just looks chaotic and really awesome. Like, just looking at the picture game play. Like, I don't even really know what to say. It seems over the top. We love brawlers like this, but we also just love chaotic monster shooters. And of course, if it's got open world RPG elements, that could be great. At first, you might write it as corny and over the top, but it seems like that's the point here. It's really trying to go for something. It seems like the work on this one is going strong and we're really hoping we see it in 2022.

 

Sifu.

 

What more can we say about this game that we haven't already said? This challenging game is all set around you really setting out on a quest for revenge,

punching your way through five intense, difficult, grindy levels, learning the basics, learning the ins and outs and how to flawlessly finish a level and complete the boss without dying too much, because every time you die, you get older and older. And if you get too old, it's game over. There's a lot more to it, a lot more nuance that we don't have time to cover. Be sure to check out our Before You Buy Review video or any other review out there. But we think it's one of the best games of the year so far.

We know it's early, it's only February, but still, definitely check this one out if you haven't already.

 

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic Remake.

 

which interestingly enough is going to be exclusive to PlayStation consoles and PC. Star Wars and the company that owns it are very different than the last time we had Knights of the Old Republic, so really, the jury's still out on this one. It's up in the air. This is a complete remake. Apparently it might expand on some elements. It might change some things. We really don't know too much. We're hoping that we get to see it in 2022. Apparently this has been in the works for a bit,

 

Steelrising.

 

This is from Spiders, the developers behind Bound by Flame, Mars Wars Logs, the Technomancer, but also the pretty awesome Greed Fall. Steelrising just looks like an awesome, sick-ass, action combat game set in a really unique setting. It's Paris, 1789, but things are a little bit different. You actually play as kind of like a clockwork mannequin called Aegis. And it just looks absolutely like a blast. You have challenging, fast-paced, intense combat, but you have this unique, weird alternate history aesthetic with Paris, and the mood and atmosphere is dark and creepy.The enemy types and monsters look sick, and we're just really hoping this one shapes up to be awesome. GreedFall was really unique. Spiders has worked on a bunch of games that we weren't really fans of, but they've worked their way up to something awesome, and we're hoping Steelrising is really the pinnacle of their work.

 

Stray.

 

This is the cat game you've seen, probably revealed at one of the Play Station events. Apparently this is going to be a semi-open ended adventure, where you play as a cat who picks up some abilities along the way. And it just seems charming and clever and thrilling. I know, I never thought I would say a cat game looks thrilling, but like just look at thier trailer on youtube. Look at the game plays we've had so far.

 

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands.

 

This is the Borderland spinoff that takes Tiny Tina's wild and crazy imagination and makes it a full game. It's a send up on D&D and all medieval-style stuff. And it seems like a refreshing spin on Borderlands. It's a little bit more fantasy-oriented with you making your own character. You're fighting way more over-the-top, fantastical enemies and creatures with a different theme. Less sci-fi, more crazy fantasy, and more of that Borderlands signature gameplay and humor. This one's releasing March 25th, 2022.
