Elden Ring won the Japan Game Award for 2022, competing with other big games. It is surprising indeed, how a game that has a niche/segmented target market can attract attention and be liked by many gamers out there. And also, recently FromSoftware‘s newest game won an award from this year’s Japan Game Award which was announced at one of the Tokyo Game Show 2022 sessions. This latest Soulslike game beats many big games such as Ghostwire: Tokyo, Tales of Arise, Horizon Forbidden West, and others.
