The RPS Selection Box: Rachel's bonus games of the year 2022

And there have beena lotof mystery games this year. Pretty standard mystery on paper, but what makes Beacon Pines different is its cosy horror vibe.

This is a place of honour, actually Dont look at me, Im justthe hardware guy. Out of everything I played this year, these are the avatars of adequacy, the sultans of satisfactory. The prime ministers ofpretty good. Instead, Valve went ahead and made a cracking little comedy. Also well-utilised: comedian Nate Bargatze as Grady, your weary yet friendly robotic supervisor.
