Games of the Year that you might have MISSED

Random person on youtube: Hey, is this video any good? Me: It's good. It's canon. It's in the lore.

[@CenoriaWoah]

I haven't seen the video yet but I think it's really good.

[@xapu8775]

I have seen the video, and I can confirm. this video is really good.

Signalis is a game I'd recommend to most people, Fear and Hunger is a game I would recommend to clinically insane people. Both are incredible experiences.

[@ClaytonBrownMusicOfficial]

I’ve been eagerly awaiting the next Dark Tark video, and my faith has rewarded me. Who cares if it’s past midnight and I have to work in a few hours? I’m _here_ for this.

So good to see another Fear and Hunger enjoyer. Keep up the great work Mr. Tark

[@drumo2273]

Sweet, I didn't know you also liked Fear & Hunger Tony! I found it a few weeks back and it's as interesting as it is frustrating. Yet to play Termina though.

[@giovanniprovost]

Tony fellow SJ enjoyer !

[@ronantheronin3521]

Kirby and the Forgotten land is a game I found alot of enjoyment in. It was like the Dark Souls of Kirby games due to it having a dodge roll. The emotional rollercoaster of tracking down all the Waddle Dees was also incredibly thought provoking.

[@JayUwU04]

😭

[@diccchocolate416]

Don't forget the advanced furry mind control beam. That's Canon, its in the lore.

[@JayUwU04]

I have no right to say it, but Yeah, you'd know

[@shawnbutler9888]

Not trying to be an asshole, but is that all it takes to be like a souls game, is to have a dodge roll? Kind of a low bar sir lol

[@OldyAlbert]

Glad more people talk about Fear and Hunger series

[@MattBG67]

Rapid growth in a community is rarely a good thing

[@OldyAlbert]

@@MattBG67 i don't care about community, i care about more people finding good games to play and for developers of these obscure good games to earn more sales. If that means more cringe posts on some forum or reddit? Who cares.

[@ivanmarquez2218]

@@MattBG67 Fear and Hunger is an extremely heavy filter. More people will get to know it, but the rare few will remain. I still have nightmares about the first one, I feel like my mental health has reduced significantly only by knowing it. I did not need to know what could happen if an Ogre killed you with a stinger thrust.

I became emotional when the youtuber mentioned chop goblins, truly a masterpiece

[@bobodenkirk-fw7hc]

That Fear and Hunger game looks aesthetically pleasing. Reminds me of Blasphemous.

[@Buhbuhfuzz]

bear in mind the first one has a lot more heavier content than the one shown here, ala berserk, this one is about on par with Blasphemous in terms of edginess though

[@SimonSenaviev]

Just in time for the Elden Ring DLC announcement! You gotta talk about the teaser image and how it reveals that Miquella is in search of WOOD It's canon, it's in the lore

[@novembersuitealso1900]

Love seeing the Pentiment acknowledgment! It's nice that people know it exists, my GOTY for last year

[@zigzaow]

I like that you genuinely discuss why you like each game and exactly why it feels like it stands out, not just because it’s an indie game which means it must be good, makes me feel interested in checking them out

[@qaztim11]

Fear and hunger Termina is so good. Glad to see more people talking about it

[@kikizandov5833]

Im so glad to see Fear and Hunger on this, more people need to find out about this masterpiece!

"many bad games released in 2022" *shows Elden Ring* *fortunately there's also good ones *shows Overwatch 2* never change Tark

Tactics ogre reborn is amazing while some people complain about the level cap I think it adds to the difficulty and progression beautifully

Dude, your videos are the humor I look forward to! Such a nice break from stuffy review vids. I love it!

[@GREATGAIWAIN]

The effort that goes into your editing and song choices may go underappreciated but never unnoticed. Good job, my man.

[@StimmBehr]

I find myself to be very good at scouting out tiny indie games but thank you so much for recommending Termina. It flew past me and I started playing today. Completely shook and I can’t wait to finish it.

[@macgallagher4809]

My favourite game is seeing how many times the mythical fade to black bang dung eater quest line is referenced in every video.

[@dolphos9417]

I can also highly recommend Astroneer. The game has grown close to me a couple of years ago and there is just something soothing, comforting and special about it that makes it nearly perfect. please consider trying it yourself :)

[@Ami0DaroNe]

FINALLY A DARK TARK VIDEO!!! I've been waiting for your video man P.S. You should live stream too!

[@nou8913]

My fav game of 2022 was original minesweeper. I spent like 20 hours playing it at work instead of working

[@bug_under]

fear & hunger mentioned, i like

[@FieryAF]

Sad that run 3 from cool math games didn't make the list for its heart wrenching story, but good list nonetheless!

[@ponchohardy6353]

Mr. Tark I’ve been subscribed for quite some time, but it was about the time I actually put that I was subscribed to you onto my resume that changed me. Normally I work a job and quit within a few months because it’s not for me, but once I applied to my recent with you on my resume the hiring manager asked me about it. I told him. He subscribed over your Dung Eater episode and I got the job. It’s the best job I’ve had in a very long time, thank you.

[@tolencual77]

Thank you for this video Tark. My game of the year for 2022 was Fallout: New Vegas. It didn't come out last year, but I played it last year. Dead Money was very scary, while Old World Blues was just silly. Joshua Graham was a character in the video game.

[@EmissaryOfSmeagol]

I bought Termina and I agree, it is a special game! Very creepy and unique.

[@Nihil847]

I subscribed and got a new job because it looked great on my résumé. Thanks Dark Tark!

[@tropezando]

Fear and Hunger (both of them) is a miserable, soul crushing, torturous slog. 10/10, would replay each character again and again 😊

[@lucazaroli6761]

This is the definitive dark tark video of the year

[@Makowh]

I wrote that I am subscribed to this channel on my resume, and it looked great. Now I have found a job at a taxation office and I chase people who commit tax evasion.

[@onlanded]

you've quickly became one of my favorite creators ever since i saw your older elden ring videos. ik you put in a lot of work into these vids but have you ever thought of just having a playthrough channel ?

[@DarkTark]

at some point in the future when my internet is better i intend on doing streams and having a separate channel for videos made using the stream footage

[@Fronzel41]

I think I had heard of none of these games so this is a pretty interesting video.

[@MrDahamsta]

Some of these games are on game pass - Pentiment, TUNIC, Hitman (technically an indirect endorsement, but it kinda counts), crusader kings 3 (but either no mod support or it is a mess) and Signalis.

[@chaoticfisherman373]

Totally want to see more people talks about Fear and Hunger

[@21jumpstreet_jeff]

I am just waiting for Tart to make a 5 hour video about the new Elden Ring DLC picture.

[@amadmanhere]

When entering the world of chop goblins, you might think, "This will just be a bit of silly fun." But by the end of the emotional, deeply written, and absolutely wonderful story you will think to yourself,"this was a bit of silly fun."

[@Vaaluin]

I loved Midnight Suns! Looking forward to replaying it once all 4 DLC characters are out as I played when it first released. I'll also toss Raft into this list. It hit 1.0 in 2022 and ended up being one of my favorite survival games ever. Tons of fun for me

[@Z_Cesar]

I will invest in this yt channel let’s see how it grows in the market

[@VaultDwellerCian]

Live a Live is such a good game and it's aged really well despite coming out in the 90s. Glad to see you talk about it Dark Tark 👍🏻

[@potassium3948]

Despite the rather long upload schedule, I see every video as being worth the wait. There are much more effort put into one video than several from bigger channels.

[@SuperDurp]

recently started playing signalis it's pretty fun would recommend checking it out

[@drfabulous2804]

I feel like Plague Tale Requiem was overshadowed by God of Bore Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West and Elden Ring. After Elden Ring it’s been my favourite game of the year, not as good as Innocence (its predecessor) but still great with a very unique and interesting story, somewhat unique stealth mechanics and an incredibly engaging main protagonist

I appreciate your mini Tunic review. I stayed away from that game as every reviewer described it as a Zelda clone, and while I like 2d Zelda quite a bit I'm not a fan of copy cat games. Hearing it described as something more original peaks my interest.
