Gaming largely went on a “pause” for the past two years. There were fewer releases of new games. Conventions were less well-attended — or canceled. Game groups temporarily disbanded. But as the hobby continues its effort to reconnect, we here at the Opinionated Gamers wanted to highlight 10 great games from the past two years. These are games released in 2020, 2021, or 2022 that we’re big fans of.
Today’s article is part of our long-paused “10 Great” series that features 10 great games in a given subcategory. I pick a mechanic, theme, publisher, etc. In this case, I picked a timeline. We here at the Opinionated Gamers then all vote behind the scenes to create a list of 10 great games that meet the criteria.
The Methodology
For purposes of this project, I simply asked everybody to vote for 10 games that released in the past couple of years. That was a loose definition, though, and even some of the winners may have had localized or soft releases before that.
Anybody could add to the list assuming they were going to vote for it. Each member of the OG was offered the chance to vote for up to 10 games, and they could give one game 15 points, one game 14 points, all the way down to giving one 6 points. We all put our votes into a spreadsheet. We then added up the points for each game and picked the top 10.
We had 24 OG-ers vote, and 82 different games received votes.
