Who would've thought a game about a cat would be challenging Elden Ring for game of the year? Heck, if we wait a little bit and God of War Ragnarok is what we think it could be, then it will be a literal God of War, vs a massive game in a fantastical world complete with a huge map and bosses galore, vs a cute little kitty and his steam punk world. Welcome to gaming in the year 2022.

All of that being said, the diversity within this year's top games shows just what a good place the gaming world is in right now, and with many more top titles on the horizon in the near and distant future, we surely have a lot to look forward to. So why not get in the mood by checking out some gaming memes, and preparing yourself to jump back into the epic world that is modern gaming.
