best game of 2022. As I’ve said before, a lot of them can’t quite match the OG for all manner of reasons, but Spellbook Demonslayers is different. Despite only being in early access, it’s already got a solid foundation to work from. No, there isn’t an Old Testament that whirls around your person like a holy sawblade, but there is a revolving shield with a pistol glued onto it.

If the answer to that last part is yes, you need to move on to the question of how.In practice, Potion Tales is a 3D puzzle game. People come to you – I use the term people broadly because the tutorial level involves helping a fire spirit and soon after you’re approached by what appears to be an aggressive daisy who is the local gravekeeper – and present you with a problem. They ask for a potion to solve the problem. That’s all the steer you get. It takes some getting used to, but the Steam demo shows an impressively flexible game with a good sense of humour.
