Let’s celebrate New Year’s Eve properly with our top 10 of the best games, from single player to multiplayer experiences!
We are now close to New Year’s, and you know what it means: ours top 10 dedicated to the best holiday levels on Nintendo Switch came a little after Christmas, and therefore we thought we’d be ready for the most suitable games to say goodbye to 2022. Clearly, given the almost nonconformist choice of holding a controller instead of a mandarin peel for the year-end bingo, we will not fail to include some single player headlines for those who will spend the holidays on their own. For the rest, we don’t have much to say before leaving you in the company of the ranking.
We won’t be staring at many rules to draw up the ranking, if not to aim for the variety. We want to include as many games as possible for everyone, and we really mean everyone, gaming palates. In fact, we do not limit ourselves to transcending the boundaries between one console and another, but also to range over time. After all, a ranking for the best of 2021 already exists, and that is why we will also throw ourselves on the games of any year. If you are ready, then, forget about the barrels for a moment and take a look at what we have to offer you to have fun … without giving up a few fingers.
For the sake of staying awake
Our top 10 of New Year’s games starts … eh, let’s say “with a bang”: we decided to place those two parsley here that are the two The Last of Us. The franchise that is now rising to Naughty Dog’s magnum opus is based on a fundamental principle: showing us how an apocalyptic event (in pandemic sauce, because at the dawn of 2022 what else can we ever talk about?) Can bring out both the worse than the best from people. A single player experience that is “only” in tenth place for various reasons (age, exclusivity, a turbulent behind the scenes), one above all our desire not to be discounted.
Alternatively, short nightmares – the top 10 of New Year’s games
Two games, extremely similar at the behest of their own creative team, share ninth place in our New Year’s Top 10. Hardly Limbo e Inside they need no introduction, and are a great alternative to The Last of Us if you want a thrilling experience without the need to spend time and money on a more famous title. They are both cinematic platformers (with all the realistic physics that come with it) dialogue-free and linear to the point of consisting of one large map, where checkpoints serve as a save point. You choose whether you prefer the monochromatic limbo of… well, Limbo, or the oppressive dystopia of Inside.
An infinity of bullets in the cosmos – the top 10 of New Year’s games
Fear not, we also have time for contemporary titles. We allude to the multiplayer component of Halo Infinite if you fancy some fireworks in space, without paying anything. Don’t expect to spend New Year’s Eve accumulating significant progress, of course, but if nothing else, to counteract the dropper of experience points it provides a very generous management of the concept of the season pass. If you missed one, you can easily retrieve it later. All of this, of course, topped off with the proven shooting quality of Master Chief and company!
A sky full of fireworks and stars – the top 10 of New Year’s games
We have thought of a ranking capable of withstanding the test of time and we can hardly think of a title that fits better than Mario Party Superstars. Not only is he a great exponent of the series on his own merits, but that holds true both as a 2021 title and as a 1998 title and beyond. All the minigames are in fact taken into account by the past chapters, and the same goes for the boards where you will be able to face each other with your friends. But the problem is also this: the infamies that can be inflicted on your playmates are a great way to not have more. You know the “draw four” of Uno? Exactly…
The only cowboy worthy of the ranking – the top 10 of New Year’s games
You all know him: fearless, steadfast, and ready to extract his colt. Are you thinking by any chance of Arthur Morgan or John Marston? Because if so, you are on the wrong track. No, this time we are talking about a little guy more like Mega Man. We could only allude to Gunman Clive HD Collection, which includes the first chapter (3DS, Android) and the sequel (3DS, Steam), easily available on Nintendo Switch and PS4 in symbolic figures. By default, in fact, the cost is set at four euros (against two for the first and three for the second), for two platformers to finish on a poor day and who share a concentration of level design ideas in a trio of very playable characters. varied. Which is impressive if you count that the Hörberg brothers created both the game (Bertil) and the music (Arne) themselves.
Why not, come on, let’s curse Anonymous[273] even New Year’s Eve – the top 10 of New Year’s games
We knew it, you knew it, we might as well get rid of even the most “phoned” position in the ranking. For how many problems they can torture Fortnite, however, we cannot even deny that it is still an accessible title like few others (PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S, coming soon to blenders …) and that it always knows how to keep us on track. ‘careful in terms of content. The cosmetic elements, however, are not everything, as evidenced by the alternative modes present and the new gameplay ideas at each change of season.
“Well, that’s enough, this editor has preferences” – the top 10 of New Year’s games
We could talk endlessly about the authorial preferences that lie behind this ranking, but for us it is enough to take a look at the image below. Paraphrasing a comment seen on YouTube some time ago, we challenge you to tell us the name of another game where you can witness this scene. You have all the time in the world to think about it, but in the end you will give up by answering us “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate“. And how to blame you? You can play it in eight at a time, with instruments and “hitting keys at random” as its detractors say … or discover its competitive depth in two, playing without frills. There’s even a themed event this weekend!
The New Year’s Eve Buffet – the top 10 of New Year’s games
You can give the bronze medal on the podium to any collection available on marketplaces. Depending on the platforms at your disposal, you may find yourself facing different games (the polygonal Mario trilogy on Nintendo Switch, Rare Replay on Xbox and a feast of Castlevania on PS4). However, in general the current generation enjoys excellent selections whose only price to pay (when there are no quick saves and the rewind function, which honestly is rare) is to play “as it once was”. Find some discounted ones and with a few euros you should put together a nice museum: the first sixteen icons below consist of 126 (not 127) games in total!
Let’s save the evening – the top 10 of New Year’s games
To be honest, this writer was baffled by the arrogance of one of the first Big N flyers for the Nintendo Switch: “with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe save the evening “. But is it possible to take such a blatant advertising slogan literally? Four years have passed, yet the re-release of what was already the best Mario Kart ever remains a phenomenal introduction to the console today.
Between the versatility of single Joy-Con (when the levers do not slip …) as simplified controllers, the triumphant return of battle mode and the variety of contents, this title is a must for anyone who has the platform at hand, especially in fact. of multiplayer! And no, we couldn’t give Animal Crossing: New Horizons a spot on the leaderboard, despite having an event entirely dedicated to New Year’s Eve.
The witcher three
If you are looking for multiplayer games for New Year’s Eve, then you can very well stop at the previous position of our top 10. Otherwise, if we do not count the special additions (whether they are mods or not), The Witcher 3 it still remains phenomenal both for its merits as an adaptation (remember that the imagery comes from Sapkowski’s novels) and for being, quite simply, one of the best open world titles out there. You can relive Geralt’s raids a little where you like, but the important thing is to do it… and this is true for any year.
