Repentance against Worship of the Lamb

The second matchup of the GOTY Quarter-Finals has arrived, pitting a game about killings against one about resolving to commit them in the name of your dark boss… it’s Penance vs. Cult of the Lamb!

The TrueAchievements game of the year bracket returns for 2022, with 32 more challengers competing for your votes throughout December. Yes, we also expect to see Elden Ring very well here, but last year there were some upheavals on the way to the finals, so there are bound to be more exciting clashes along the way! Following feedback from last year’s installment, we’ve made some changes for the 2022 edition. While the best games were always selected using TA user ratings, we’ve gone with a more traditional ranking this time- here, at least for the first 28 of the 32 games in contention – the last four slots of the last two rounds were reserved for a few December releases, so people had a chance to play them before voting, with replacements waiting looking forward behind the scenes if any of the December releases turn out not to deserve a spot on this list. Sure enough, some have changed – The Callisto Protocol and Need for Speed ​​​​​​Unbound failed to reach the excellent user scores of some of the reserve games, which means Infernax and MLB The Show 22 have could step in as the next highest seed by TA user rating.

Additionally, we have made the decision to disqualify remakes and remasters of the race this year based on feedback from many rounds over the past year. We’ve also left out anything that launched in beta or early access (sorry, MultiVersus) and anything that came late to Xbox in 2022 after being released the previous year on other platforms. , although games that reached full 1.0 this year are considered be 2022, so a few such games have found their way onto the shortlist. As a result, this year’s lineup includes a diverse cast of triple-A heavy hitters, indie darlings, some of the best games on Game Pass, and everything in between, so be sure to search for your favorites! Scroll down to see full support for the opening round and for the poll itself, and let us know in the comments why you backed your chosen game. And don’t worry, we also organize our more traditional programs Game of the Year Event if you’d rather just get involved in a vote there – this format proved a lot of fun last year, so we’re happy to offer it again as an alternative, and it will be interesting to compare the results at the end of everything. May the best game win!
