“These are by no means the only great games from 2012, but they are great. Your favorite game isn’t missing because I don’t think it’s great, more likely it just didn’t edit together well with the rest or had to go to keep it under 2 minutes. I also tried to give some screen time to overachieving indies that deserve the attention, rather than trying to cram in every major release.”

Blockbuster AAA Titles
2012 saw the release of several blockbuster AAA titles that captivated gamers worldwide. “Halo 4” marked the return of Master Chief and was highly praised for its engaging storyline and impressive graphics. “Diablo 3” brought back the beloved dungeon-crawling action RPG with new features and a fresh storyline, despite some initial server issues. “Max Payne 3” continued the saga of the troubled detective with its signature bullet-time mechanics and gritty narrative.
“Mass Effect 3” concluded the epic space opera trilogy, offering players the chance to see the culmination of their choices from the previous games. “Far Cry 3” took players to a lush tropical island filled with danger and adventure, featuring an open-world environment that encouraged exploration and creativity in tackling missions. “Assassin’s Creed 3” transported players to the American Revolution, introducing a new protagonist and a rich historical setting.
Innovative Indie Games
In addition to the blockbuster titles, 2012 was a remarkable year for indie games, which brought fresh and innovative experiences to the gaming community. Games like “Fez” and “Journey” stood out for their unique art styles and gameplay mechanics. “Fez” offered a mind-bending puzzle platformer experience with its 2D/3D perspective-shifting mechanic, while “Journey” provided a serene and emotional adventure through a vast desert landscape.
“Hotline Miami” delivered a fast-paced, top-down action game with a retro aesthetic and a pulsating soundtrack, quickly becoming a cult favorite. “FTL: Faster Than Light” allowed players to command a spaceship, making strategic decisions to survive in a hostile galaxy. These indie games demonstrated that smaller studios could produce experiences that were just as compelling and memorable as those from larger developers.
The diversity of games released in 2012 highlights the creativity and dedication of developers across the industry. From the high-budget productions of AAA titles to the innovative and often experimental nature of indie games, there was something for every type of gamer to enjoy. The montage video serves as a testament to the incredible variety and quality of games that made 2012 a standout year in the world of gaming.
