Pokemon has always stuck to its same game formula for so long. The game is a big step up from the previous Pokemon games because with “Arceus,” you get to go on an adventure in an open-world setting. Arceus is set in an era before humans and Pokemons learned how to live harmoniously. The game revolves around the rift in the sky and its impact on the wild Pokemons.
Stray

Release Date: July 19, 2022
Available Platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC
As a pet lover, I can say that Stray is one of the best games of the year. In Stray, you get to play the role of a stray cat where you can roam around both above and under the ground. You get to go around as a cat trying to solve different pawzzles. However, something you wouldn’t expect is that you can die in the game (but you do respawn). But what breaks my heart is the cats’ heartbreaking meow if you fall to your death. One of the highlights of this game is its visuals, atmosphere, and its open-world elements that bring the game to life.
Dying Light 2: Stay Human
