The Diablo 4 Gold beta hasn't convinced me yet, but I can't wait to play even more (Set Items or not).

When it comes to PC games there is always a rush. As our amazing virtual universe continues to revolve around its metaphorical axis, there's a lot to be excited about for the coming year. There's Hogwarts Legacy, Starfield, Diablo 4 and many more and it's worth putting our minds back to the best PC games of 2022. As Christmas draws to an end and fireworks appear on the horizon, we've decided to take the liberty of gathering some of the year's most important news events in the same place. After all it's what's not to love more than a bit of nostalgia?

One of the most exciting announcements to come out of January was that Blizzard announced that the creation of a brand-new game on the "all completely new realm" is currently in development which adds yet another strings to the Diablo WoW creator's metaphorical bow. It wasn't the sole one to announce something entirely new however, as Apex Legends creator Respawn Entertainment has also announced that it is working on a triple-A shooter.

And to top it all off Fans of turn-based strategies were blessed with news of a new studio manned by the Doom and XCOM developers, they have come together to bring more strategy to the genre that is growing ever more.

The most memorable event of February was, of course, Elden Ring. Awarded as one of the most popular FromSoftware games ever the RPG game rocketed up the charts, requiring players from all over the world to reclaim the coveted item. In addition to Elden Ring, Amazon Games and Smilegate RPG brought ARPG/MMO hybrid Lost Ark to the West after a successful launch in Korea. The server wait times grew and players lost the will to live it has continued to grow post-launch and now includes a plethora of exciting zones and classes. Dying Light 2 also deserves a quick mention; after everyone loves zombies, and who wouldn't love fighting zombies?

And finally, Valve changed the landscape of portable gaming, as we discussed within the Steam Deck review. At first, a small number of people could access this handheld due to the reservation system and the large number of people who put an order, but it quickly was a hit by gamers thanks to boot screen tweaks, physical accessories, and developers racing to optimize their games to work with the latest system.

We highly recommend checking out our Elden Ring review, particularly because it's a PCGamesN Game of the Year 2022. If Soulslikes aren't your cup of tea, there's also an Dying Light 2 review and Lost Ark review for you to read.

Following Elden Ring came Final Fantasy Origin: Stranger in Paradise, which hardly matched the popularity of FromSoftware. It was, instead, Elden Ring shot to the top of Steam's charts as well as, uh, porn. In the meantime, Hogwarts Legacy's Quidditch feature (of absence) became the most talked about topic.

Rainbow Six Siege also returned with Cheap Diablo IV Gold Operation Demon Veil, which featured a spectacular array of Asian-inspired skin care, and a brand new Operator and masked defender Azami one of the most significant characters added to the meta-game since Year 2's Mira. Overall the month of March was less tense than February (not to say that it was difficult) however April definitely more than made up for it.
