Hello! We're going to start the year off with a handful of pieces looking forward to 2022. Sometimes we'll be looking at trends we've spotted or themes that will probably be continuing to define things in games for a while. Sometimes we'll just be thinking about things we've enjoyed and where they could lead. Have a lovely new year all!
Never underestimate the power of a game about words. It's 2022 and the game of the moment is a game about words. Every morning, first thing, we pick up our phones and try to play Wordle. Five letters. What's the word? Get the word wrong at first, but maybe find out you've got the right letters – maybe some of them in the right place too. Then it's deduction, but it's also vocabulary! Argh! Wordle! What are you doing to me?
