UPDATE: The 2023 tier list is out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoO4aGWNo7t-a6ssi=IUFxNBj8qlrn0JGM What are your S-tier mobile games of 2022?💯 Oh, and check out my games discovery platform MiniReview: bit.ly/MiniReviewApp

[@Funem]

Hot Lap League is a great game, but unfortunately the developers announced they are no longer going to support the mobile version, which is a shame.

[@NimbleThor]

@@Funem It is indeed a shame. Thankfully, the game can still be enjoyed. But yeah, unless they change their mind, it'll eventually grow a bit outdated. Hopefully they'll continue supporting new OS versions.

[@tylerbrown9797]

Apex Legends Gunfire Reborn Wreckfest

[@NimbleThor]

Great taste, mate 😎

[@xHawly]

I found out this korean game called King God Castle recently. It's pretty fun, and while it has some gacha elements, I wouldn't say they interfere that much, since you can still unlock heroes without relying on the gacha system. I'd certainly recommend it to anyone!

[@Ali009Ahmed]

"Its just really frustrating that we can't get an actual good ARPG on mobile." I felt that honestly.

[@NimbleThor]

Yeah.... BUT! Maybe 2023 will be the year we get Path of Exile on mobile. The game will be shown at a games conference later this year. So maybe an early alpha/beta build gets released toward the end of the year. Fingers crossed! :)

Good to see hotlap league getting reps, it definitely deserves it s tier ranking. Especially compared to triple a dev studios .

[@NimbleThor]

Yeah, I was just blown away by it. I've been looking for a good Trackmania alternative on mobile for ages. So I was very happy to get Hot Lap League :) I'm glad you're enjoying it too, mate.

[@DARK_AMBIGUOUS]

I’ve been playing mobile games ever since I got an iPod touch 4 back in like 2013, I’ve played so many games and I’ve found out that the only good ones are the ones that cost money, have no coins or in-app purchases, are played in landscape mode, have a story instead of being a simple repetitive game that gets old fast, and the ones that feel like PS2, PS3 style games. Here is a list of my favorite mobile games in no particular order: Badland Badland 2 Touch Grind BMX Touch Grind Skate 2 Labyrinth 2 GTA San Andreas GTA Vice City GTA III Bully Minecraft Terraria Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 Transistor Bastion Race The Sun Word Of Goo Vector Smash Hit Don’t Starve Super Hexagon Leo’s Fortune Machinarium Poppy Playtime Chapter 1 & 2 Sonic the Hedgehog Classic Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Classic Plants Vs zombies DOOM DOOM II

[@NimbleThor]

That's one beautiful list, mate! Those are indeed all really solid games! 😍 I know a lot of people agree with you too - I see it all the time in the user ratings on MiniReview. And here on KZbin too. There's just something about the simplicity of paid premium games. The devs are free to just focus on creating an amazing experience, without having to consider monetization, micro transactions, the premium currency economy etc.

[@ether4298]

I am waiting a whole year for this video. Thanks man

[@NimbleThor]

Oh snap! I'm so glad to hear that, mate. Are there any specific types of videos you'd like to see me do throughout next year? I mean, something you could be interested in watching 😊

[@ether4298]

@@NimbleThor To be honest, i dont watch your weekly best games videos man. Imo, you should make whole tier list for category for example best idle games of all time. It can be tier list. What Im saying is you can make alltime videos besides the new games videos. I hope i can explain myself. Second language problems :/

[@NimbleThor]

Thanks mate, that makes a lot of sense. I started making Top 10 videos for different genres this year, and I definitely plan to continue that. They're not tier lists, but it sounds like what you're asking for :) I also have this idea of making a massive video about 100 games you have to try. But point taken about making more tier lists too, thanks. This is great input, I appreciate it 😎🙏

[@hindel6141]

I got sick and tired of all these sponsored guys suggesting Raid Shadow legends or lords mobile in their top 10's. Finally i found someone who is very honest and more importantly who did their homework... Thanks man. I Will check out your other stuff.

[@NimbleThor]

Thank you so much! 🙏 I really hope you'll enjoy the other videos too. A new one is landing this Saturday, and I'm working on another one for 2 weeks after that. Both include a bunch of awesome games 🤗

[@Yurika-rie]

Punishing Gray Raven is definitely among the top tier arpg on mobile despite the fact that its a gacha game You're still rewarded on how well you play the game but then again money > is a huge factor that gives advantage

[@NimbleThor]

That's fantastic to hear - thanks, mate. I didn't include it because it didn't release this year, but you bring up a good point. I hope Path of Exile will release next year too. That'd be awesome to have on mobile.

[@doommaker4000]

You're talking past each other XD For some reason my country uses Hack'n'slash for games that came from Diablo and ARPGs for all games from Witcher to PGR. PGR is not similiar at all to PoE, Grim Dawn, Diablo, etc. Still the best gacha ever

[@NimbleThor]

I don't recall why I brought up Path of Exile in the reply. I think he might have left another comment about that and I just bundled both into one reply. But it's 7 months ago, so can't recall exactly, haha. Yeah, PGR is very different. I enjoyed it for a bit :)

[@jamesbrincefield9879]

It’s a paid game, but Despot’s Game is 10/10 and I highly recommend it. I own the full game on Steam and PS4 and have only played the demo on mobile, but it’s definitely worth the price of entry. I would have gladly bought it again if I used my phone for gaming, but I found out about the PS4 version launching soon after trying the mobile demo and knew I would get a lot more mileage out of that. It kind of reminds me of Slay the Spire mixed with Pokemon or something. It’s a lot of fun. There’s enough single-player content to keep you busy for awhile but there’s also a multiplayer element that a ton of people enjoy. I’ve never put much time into the latter and don’t play many multiplayer games in general, but I get the appeal of it. Anyway, I highly recommend at least trying the free demo out. The controls feel a lot better on controller but they work fine with a touchscreen too, especially after a couple practice runs.

[@NimbleThor]

Nice! I've heard great things about it too, actually :) So it's nice to hear that it's a 10/10 game for you too. Thanks a bunch for sharing, mate. Have a wonderful weekend.

There's 2 things I look forward to every year around this time. This video. And State of the Sanderson (a blog post from my favorite author). These videos are so well done and lovely and I just wish there were more like this. You do a great job with these Nimble. My favorite games of the year: 1) Poinpy. This game was SO good. Quite possibly my favorite Roguelike ever. 2) Momentum: Turn Based Roguelike. Challenging. Fun. And very much worth your time. Why are games that are based on parry's so good!? 3) Lucky Luna. Second Netflix game on this list, but what can I say, it's another brilliant outing. Beautiful pixel art and great platforming to boot. The swipe controls seemed weird at first but turns out they are incredibly intuitive for what they created. Lots of fun. 4) 1 Bit Survivor. Last but not least on my little list here. This game came out of nowhere and nobody is playing this! It is an absolute blast. Runs through the zombie infested world to protect your cat are fun, fast, and more tactical than I was expecting. This really needs to be seen by more people. The black and white aesthetic looks great and reminds me a lot of Downwell.

[@NimbleThor]

Thank you so much, Caleb 🥳♥️ And dang, now I can't wait to cover those Netflix games next year! I'm planning a follow-up to my video about Netflix games from this year, considering just how many great new ones have released - such as Lucky Luna and Poinpy. It's great to hear you've been having a blast with them 👏

[@Prakrahm]

Nice video! This year, I played a lot on mobile and agree in almost every point. However, there are some of the best games from 2022 that I miss in this list, like Scourgebringer, Papers Please, Siralim Ultimate or the recent The Alliance Alive HD. Also worth mentioning Netflix has added some masterpieces with it's subscription in 2022, like Spiritfarer, Into the Breach, Poinpy, Moonlighter, Before Your Eyes or Kentucky Route Zero. Finally, I would also say that some games from previous years have had major updates this year that greatly improves them, like Dead Cells or Dawncaster. But don't let this words confuse you, I really liked your tier list, your taste in videogames is pretty similar to mine. You just got a new subscriber! :)

[@NimbleThor]

First of all, thank you 🙏 I'm really glad this was pretty spot-on for you. And oh yes, I definitely did miss some great games. Thanks for sharing some of them here in the comments so others can find them too 😎 As for Netflix games, I know I didn't mention it in the video, but I have made the decision to keep them out of the video, as I'm planning to create a separate tier list just for all the Netflix gsmes. I did one earlier this year, but since so many great ones have repressed since, I'm planning a 2023 updated version 😊 It's great to hear you're enjoying some of them already, like Poinpy and Moonlighter. Awesome games indeed! 👏

You had to make sure to put notice on the title "I do not like MMOrpg" its just as clear you put all of them on the same spot without considering anything other just than Monetize But 2022 is trash tought i agreed

[@NimbleThor]

MMORPGs are actually my favorite genre of all time :) I've spent thousands of hours in them - ever since I first played RuneScape in around 2003. Unfortunately, most MMORPGs on mobile have monetization systems that make them difficult to enjoy :/ You're right that I care a lot about the monetization, because I often think the monetization ruins great games. I hope we'll get more amazing MMORPGs on mobile in 2023. Fingers crossed. Do you have any personal favorite MMORPGs on mobile, by the way? I'd love to hear.

[@doommaker4000]

Putting Diablo Immortal on the same tier as Nikke is criminal. The monetization differences are night and day, despite Nikke being a typical gacha. Combat actually needs your input on bosses and strategy is required. The story quality is not even comparable. Sexualiztion is not a point for or against a game - it's extremely subjective. I understand having a bias against gacha, but you're putting other p2w games higher on your list and it doesn't make sense most of the time...

[@NimbleThor]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the games :) I appreciate that. I'm not actually against gacha at all. I've played several gacha games I liked. But remember that these lists are inherently subjective, and everyone likes different things in different games. Nikke never really clicked with me. But again, it's all subjective. I'm really glad you're having fun with Nikke, mate. It just proves that there are games for all of us

[@doommaker4000]

@@NimbleThor I wasn't going to comment on Nikke being low, because I understand why, until I saw Diablo Immortal join it. I don't hate games because it's a strong word and if I just don't like something I don't play it, but DI makes my blood boil. It was a chance for mobile games to finally stop being unfairly looked down upon and it only worsened everything. I've never seen monetisation this bad in a mainstream game, the level scaling, the lack of optimization, the copy paste job... If I came as offensive, I apologize. I do appreciate your videos for going through the games and giving them an actual critical look. You're doing way more for mobile games than DI ever did.

[@NimbleThor]

I completely understand, and I was very disappointed about the monetization of DI too. Such a shame. Now I'm just hoping that Path of Exile will be ACTUALLY great on mobile. It should be coming this or next year.
