Here are some suggestions from me, some of my favorite games ever made.
Firstly, I'm a huge fan of Pokemon, and Pokemon Legends Arceus that came just 3 years ago in 2022 is easily one of the best ever. It's a single player only game that changes the format of the gameplay after so many years and also having a more mature tone to it, and the story is awesome. Other Pokemon games now follow suit and Legends Z-A coming later this year with even more gameplay changes and more story focus.
Another game that came in 2022 that I absolutely adore is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, always bin a huge TMNT fan, also played tons of side scrolling beat'em ups, and this is without question the best TMNT game ever made and best beat'em up game ever made. It even takes a few elements from Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter, having the playable characters taking moves from both IP's and even have combo system that is kinda similar to Mortal Kombat being based on juggles.
Now going from a classic concept to classic games, I got my fair share of side scrolling platformers, and Maui in Cold Shadow is one of my all time favorites. And yes, this is a Disney game, and yes, this is Donald Duck. What's great about this game is the wacky and over-the-top comedic nature of this game coming with classic platformer gameplay.
Then we go to fighting games, I've said it before and I will say it again, that Marvel Super Heroes from the Marvel Vs. Capcom series is easily one of the most underrated fighting games ever, not just from Capcom but overall. The Gem system in this game is actually well made and the presentation is still great even today. And you can get this game in the MVC Collection that was released not too long ago.
