Awards

Our editorial team members independently put together a list of our favorite games from 2022 — and in the end, we had to narrow it down to just one.

Despite a bumpy ride for the industry in 2021, many great casual games came across our radar throughout the year. But in the end, we could only choose one to receive our Best Casual Game of 2021 award.
