Sometimes time is short, but often I just procrastinate endlessly until I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m not trying to be cool by ignoring the trends, nor am I consciously making any kind of statement. I’m not really sure why I’m so averse to playing things when they are popular. Still, at least I’ve gained Amanda’s approval for that one. It just sits on my list of installed games taunting me when I open the app to play PowerWash Simulator, again. Once again, it’s also hosted on Game Pass, and there’s no reason whatsoever to explain why I’ve still not hit that play button. I absolutely love the comics and the movies, and even enjoyed the TellTale game.

Last year, the big game I slacked on was Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. Nor did I download Persona 5 until recently, despite really wanting to play it. Citizen Sleeper was on there for a long while I just didn’t download it until a few days ago. After all, I pay for PC Game Pass every month so I can keep up to date with new releases and gain affordable access to a wide range of titles. So, why didn’t I play them? Honestly, I don’t really know. Yet none of these perfectly acceptable reasons are the answer to why I didn’t play the best games of 2022 when they were still actually relevant. There are also genres and games others love that simply don’t interest me. This means that games like Elden Ring aren’t going to be fun for me, since my reflexes are too slow to battle the button-pushing grind without far too much frustration. As I’ve mentioned in the past, I have Dyspraxia. It also means that, with three teenagers to feed, dropping over £50 on a game isn’t realistic for me and happens very rarely. This means that yes, I have to buy games. No matter what your friend's neighbour's uncle says about games journalists getting free copies of every game ever. Yes, TheGamer gets codes for games, but there are a lot of us and, surprise, studios don’t send us 30 copies of everything. Sometimes there are good reasons for being late to pick up those new releases, with cost being the main one. Related: The Biggest Games To Play Each Month In 2023
