Team AdInMo’s Top 10 Mobile & PC Games of 2022
This year has been another smash for new game releases. The much anticipated God of War: Ragnarok did not fail to deliver its best title in the series and who can forget the enormous success of Elden Ring released earlier in 2022?
Every year we ask Team AdInMo to shortlist their favourite mobile games. For 2022, the shortlist includes PC games to celebrate AdInMo adding PC support to our InGamePlay SDK in 2022. Here are the results of our top 10 games in no particular order.
Yurii, Platform Engineer
Game: Red Dead Redemption 2
Format: PC Game
Developer: Rockstar Games
Although it’s not a new game for 2022, it’s been my favourite game to play this year. It gives you a true wild west atmosphere where you can roam wherever you want and be as good or bad as you like! Only you get to decide what to do each day: wash a horse, rob a bank, hijack a train or hunt some wild boar for a new hat.
Reece, Ad Ops Director
Game: Fork & Sausage
Format: Mobile Game
Publisher: SayGames
This hyper casual game ticks all the boxes for me. The gameplay is really fun and you get to customize your sausage with little hats, tashes and seductive eyes… Best of all I can play it with one hand, type my reports with the other hand and still feel like a winner.
Andrii, Systems Architect
Game: Dota2
Format: PC Game
Developer: Valve Corporation
There were some great games released this year but I still found myself playing my favourite game of all time; Dota2. I’ve spent more than a decade on it both playing and watching. I don’t like classic sports, but could spent hours watching Dota2 tournaments or even just turn on someone’s live Twitch stream just to watch them play the game.
Lewis, Senior Business Development Manager
Game: Stumble Guys
Format: Mobile
Developer: Kitka Games
This massive multiplayer knockout game is simple to play but totally chaotic and I’ve been mastering it throughout this year. Very frustrating but boy do you feel good on that rare occasion when you beat your 10 year old son.
Kevin, Account Manager
Game: Halo Infinite
Format: PC Game
Developer: 343 Industries
Although the release hasn’t been perfect and is very unfinished it is the game I have had most fun on this year. I have played Halo since 2007 and just enjoy the games, storyline and multiplayer functionality.I’m hoping that the game continues to get better and better in 2023.
Alina, Account Manager
Game: Detroit: Become Human
Format: PC Game
Developer: Quantic Dream
My favorite game of the year is Detroit: Become Human.
The scenario is exciting to play out as the path of the whole game is dependent on the choices you make. The game keeps you in suspense throughout all levels, moreover you don’t have an exact final. The characters and locations are spectacular.
Herman, Product Manager
Game: Scorn (2022)
Format: PC Game
Developer: Ebb Software
It’s not a G.O.T.Y for everybody, but Scorn gave me exactly what I always want to get from any game I play — a new experience. It is grim, dark and macabre but also unusual, terrific from a design perspective and brilliant in its own unique way. You can describe the game in a few words as “extremely disturbing”, but for me personally it also was extremely exciting to explore.
Kristina, Ad Ops Manager
Game: Grid Autosport
Format: PC Game
Developer: Codemasters
When playing games on my phone I prefer games that are quick action ones like Clash Royale. But if I have more time and I’m in the mood then it will definitely be a racing game because it’s one of my favorite things in real life. This year I’ve particularly enjoyed playing Grid Autosport.
James Murphy, SDK Engineer
Game: Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
Format: PC Game
Developer: TT Games, Traveller’s Tales
So my fav game of the year has got to be the Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga. Mainly because I used to play the original Lego Star Wars games when I was younger and this is a remake of the originals but as an open world. It’s just really relaxing exploring the scenes and finding collectables.
Jo, Digital Marketing Manager
Game: Stray
Format: PC Game
Developer: BlueTwelve Studio
Publisher: Annapurna Interactive
Stray is a story based adventure game about a cat navigating its way through a strange city of robots and mutant bacteria with help from his little drone companion. This game is by far my favourite of the year, with its beautiful story line and puzzles to solve in rich environments. The best feature for me is the utterly cute and playful interactions you get with the cat without the real life litter box to clean out.
