Top 11 Games of 2022

It’s time to share my favourite games of 2022 (I know it’s late, but better late than never)! Much like last year, I chose my favourite 11 releases from the past 12 months to talk about in this post. Overall, I don’t think the list is as strong as it was last year, but I did still find a selection of excellent games across multiple genres that I would highly recommend! Without wasting any more time, let’s take a look at my Top 11 Games of 2022!

Monthly Summary: December 2022

Welcome to the final Monthly Summary and also the last post of the year! I hope you’ve all had a good Christmas and I also hope everyone has a Happy New Year! December has mainly consisted of wrapping up the longer games I had ongoing, but I also started a couple more with WesleyWhale during our time off which has been a short but sweet break for us since I barely get any time off work at this time of year and Wesley spent a lot of it poorly – but I feel like we made the most of it! So for the last time, let’s take a look at what I’ve been playing this month:

Monthly Summary: November 2022

Welcome to another Monthly Summary here at gamergal.exe! I can’t believe we’re almost in the last month of the year already… where’s 2022 gone?! My schedule always takes a hit this time of year as work is always super busy and I tend to get into a bit of a panic over finishing up the games I’ve had ongoing in order to start fresh in the new year, however, I’m trying to let that go a bit this year and just take things as they come. Saying that though, I’m looking forward to starting a new year as I have a bunch of things planned which I’ll be talking a bit more about next month. Looking back at November, it was actually a pretty decent month for gaming, so without rambling on too much, let’s take a look what November had in store:

Monthly Summary: October 2022

Welcome to another Monthly Summary here on gamergal.exe! October has been all about Hallowe’en for me and I’ve been playing a bunch of horror games to celebrate my favourite season. I’ve played a good selection of games with a spooky vibe which I’ll be writing in my annual HORROWE’EN – coming soon! This post is the fullest one I’ve written in a while, so let’s get straight into it:

Monthly Summary: September 2022

Welcome to another Monthly Summary at gamergal.exe! September saw quite a lot of new games being started as well as a fair few completions in preparation for October’s Hallowe’en spotlight! I didn’t manage to post much during September, but I have been putting in the work behind the scenes for lots of content ready for the next few months and I’m super excited to share it with you all! I decided to start my Hallowe’en gaming slightly early this year which I’m sure you’ll notice later, but before I get too carried away thinking about my favourite time of the year, let’s take a look at what I got up to during September:

Monthly Summary: August 2022

Welcome to another Monthly Summary here at gamergal.exe! I didn’t play or finish quite as many games as I did in July, but I did play some awesome games this month and I’m super pleased that I managed to concentrate on a few larger games from the backlog. Despite not publishing any posts on the blog for the entire month, I seem to have gained some inspiration over the past few days to write some new posts for next month, so I’m going to try my best to make September more active over here and hopefully on Twitter too. For now though, let’s take a look at some of the great games I played, and finished, during August:

Valentine’s Day: Otome Challenge Week 2022

Happy Valentine’s Day! 💕 It’s that time of the year again where #OtomeVdayWeek hashtags are popping up all over Twitter. Especially for Valentine’s Day, I decided to feature the whole week’s worth of questions as part of another blog post like I did last year, and although the questions are pretty much the same, it’s interesting to see what’s changed over the course of the year. Thanks to @Lunarrine for these prompts! *Warning: This post does contain CGs and some mild spoilers.

Valentine’s Day: Otome Special

Throughout the week, I’ve noticed an otome themed hashtag #OtomeVdayWeek reoccurring on my timeline, posted as part of a 7 day thread. Since I was late discovering this hashtag, I decided to put all the topics together in one blog post as I don’t often write specifically about this genre. With it also being Valentines Day, what better time to dive into a genre containing romance! Of course, I couldn’t resist featuring Eltcreed Valentine for the header image as his name is just too appropriate.
