2022 was the year I started living again—of course, this was always going to have an effect on how games as a whole resonated with me. As such, this list probably won't be structured how you expect, but that's the fun of this kinda thing, right?

Also feel like I should credit Tom Scott for the line "history is fractal" I use when discussing Pentiment. Saw him use it in a couple of his vids and the phrasing really stuck with me.
