Just like the year itself, the video games of 2021 seemed to come and go in a flash.Finding focus was hard after a seemingly endless 2020. But the video games kept on coming, and our days were enriched by the best of them. Now, with 2022 firmly in our sights and a year’s worth of COVID-inflicted delays promising an incredible calendar ahead, fans of video games are preparing to indulge in a wealth of riches.There are so many games we’re looking forward to in the new year that it’s impossible to assemble a comprehensive list. The mythic Norse adventures of Kratos will continue in God of War: Ragnarok. Harry Potter lovers will finally get to see if and how Hogwarts Legacy can captivate fandom in the face of the Wizarding World creator’s vile transphobia. And fans of the Arkham series will behold what it’s like when Rocksteady Studios targets superheroes for termination in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.It’s a jam-packed calendar is what I’m saying. But these are the releases that stand out the most to our games-loving team at Mashable.1. ForspokenBeing excited for the next installment in a favored game franchise is one thing, but there’s a different kind of hype that comes with anticipating something new. No one in the audience knows exactly what to expect from Square Enix’s upcoming new title Forspoken, but the few glimpses Square has shown of its Black heroine, Frey, and the magical world of Athia have been enough to pique some serious interest. One of Forspoken’s most promising innovations in the “open world” is its flying parkour system. This freshens up the genre mainstay of easy, satisfying movement by combining super-fast running-and-tumbling acrobatics with zippy powers of flight. Another highlight is its magic combat, which appeared in previews to be thrillingly fluid.

What’s something that feels like good news, but probably isn’t?On Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced new guidance around self-isolation for people who test positive to COVID-19 — namely, that they can do less of it. Specifically, the recommended isolation period for people who have tested positive but are asymptomatic has been halved from 10 days to five. The CDC says that if you’re not showing symptoms, instead of isolating or quarantining for those last five days, you should wear a mask when you’re interacting with other people. The guidance also recommends similar timing for people who’ve been exposed to confirmed cases but are unvaccinated or haven’t received a booster shot yet, adding that if quarantining isn’t possible, exposed contacts should wear a mask around others at all times for the full 10-day period.”CDC’s updated recommendations for isolation and quarantine balance what we know about the spread of the virus and the protection provided by vaccination and booster doses,” said CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky. “These updates ensure people can safely continue their daily lives.” Dr. Anthony Fauci called the changes “prudent”, telling CNN that they would help get people back to work sooner after an infection or exposure.
