With franchises of the caliber ofGod of War,Horizon,Gran Turismo, Pokemon, and more all gettingnew games in 2022, it leaves little room for too many other top games. But to that we say, you may never have too many games! There are some in particular we think are long overdue in the sequel department. The time is perfect for them all to make a stunning comeback, and these 10 sequels could easily make an impact in 2022.
10. Time Crisis VR
Eventually, the series stagnated and it’s been a while since we last saw Time Crisis. But with the growing potential of VR andPSVR 2on the way, we think it’s time to dust off the hardware. Now is the perfect moment for Time Crisis VR to launch as a flagship title for Sony’s VR headset sequel.

7. Ape Escape
6. The Order
Its outrageously stunning graphics and filmic aesthetic were overshadowed by its noticeably short run time and bugs on release. On the other hand, its story and characters were praised, and it left players wanting to know what happened to Sir Galahad. Given how unique its setting and themes were, we think it deserves one more shot to get things right, plus, the Thermite Rifle was a thing of beauty.
5. Bloodborne
4. Burnout
3. Spyro The Dragon
Bully, later renamed Canis Canem Edit due to protests, was released during the peak, PS2-era GTA games, yet managed to feel fresh and different. It understandably dispensed with the gratuitous violence and adult themes of Grand Theft Auto games. However, it retained Rockstar’s penchant for developing deep, fun-filled playgrounds (literally) for players to explore. With rumors and murmurings of a sequel persisting, there’s every chance that the Bullworth Academy student can rattle off some more stink bombs.
