Kinda game less than ever before but these 5 plus 3 keep me at this hobby.
My top 5 of 2022, and since 4 are early access games, they will probably remain in my top 5 for 2023… ArmA3 because of mods, Ground Branch, Ready or Not, and Black One Blood Brothers. (Honorable mentions: SB Pro PE, IL2 Great Battles, and DCS World.)
What’s yours? Anything you really looking forward to in 2023… besides the 100 of modules DCS is releasing, lol. jk…
I think I’ve only played 2 games over the last year. DCS and Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition xD
I can provide a list of my top 5 most enjoyable modules though.
In no particular order:
Honorable mentions:
Most flown modules this year are
DCS
X-PLANE
Farming Sim
American Truck Sim
Madden 22
For 2023 i can see it staying the same with the exception of Madden. That will be replaced probably by Forza 8.
Love this!
1: GHPC
2: DCS
3: Half life Alyx
4: HL2 VR
5: Forza Horizon 4/5

What I did on my PC/XboX?
DCS. Flew a bunch of almost everything. Haven’t learned apache yet, nor gotten tactical on hind.
Il2, but far less than I feel it deserves.
World of Warships. It’s so easy, so pretty, and I get to kick back, listen to a 10% true pod and make the big guns go boom.
Mechwarrior 5. Almost like the above, but on the couch, on the big screen.
Red Dead Redemption 2. What caused me to buy the XboX and big screen in the first place. It was very dusty in the room the day I finished that. Or someone’d been cutting onions. Yeah. That.
Honorable mentions to MSFS2020. It’s awesome on the big screen and it properly works on PC VR now, but… eh. I just can’t be arsed tbh. Warno & Regiments. I love cold war shootups. played the everloving’ frak out of the Wargame series. But just couldn’t find the time or headspace. Same for GHPC. I should love it, but haven’t found space to do more than a little test run.
My most played and most enjoyed a bit different, my number 1 most enjoyed only made it onto my PC in the past week and looking at hours spent according to Steam my most played was Death Stranding. So most enjoyed are…
Honourable mention. The Orville - Interactive Fan Experience: Hey, it’s The Orville and it is free 
Fun idea, let’s see
Honorable mention to MSFS and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. I only just started in SW, did the first (2?) planets so can’t judge the story yet but all else is looking great so far. Gameplay feels a bit like Stray just slightly more aggressive and magical. MSFS is a lovely trip simulator and all the new planes give something interesting to do but it is still hard for it to compete with DCS. Partially due to lack of combat and carrier challenge, partially due to unfamiliar (separate) control scheme. Switching 2D and VR is amazing though, wish that worked in DCS.
Mainly played DCS this year - I feel you on the “playing less than before”, but I now have a friend who plays DCS too so that helps. If we’re listing modules, Hornet is my most played but Mirage 2000 is my favorite. Tomcat got virtual bodies this year, and I think the “A” as well so probably gets the “most improved”. I think we’ll be deep diving into the F-16 next year.
My love/hate relationship with IL2:GB progressed to me changing up my simpit and controller setup purely so I can fly that game. I guess “most improved”? 
I played a fair bit of Insurgency: Sandstorm earlier this year, and of course Ready Or Not (but again I’ve got a distinct love/hate relationship with that one. There’s a great game in there under all the issues!)
Finally, I’ve dived back into Mechwarrior: Online as a game I can play one round in, then get back to whatever I’m actually supposed to be doing. Coincidentally that’s five I guess!
I have WARNO on my Wishlist, Keep thinking of pulling the trigger, never played any of the other wargame series. Is wrano worth it or shoul d i pick up red dragon on sale?
Playable with a xbox controller on PC?
I too did not have experience on wargame series before checking out the Red Dragon. I think it is nice and matured RTS with some connection to real life units.
I too have Warno on my wishlist, but somehow got the impression (from comments) that it might not be mature enough yet, so I have so far stuck to Red Dragon.
DCS
1.Apache
2,Hind
3.Viper[The more I learn…the more I like it] 
Steam
4.UBoat
5.War On The Sea[need to spend more time on this one]
Been a quiet-ish year for new games for me …
But here goes
1… DCS, mainly the glorious Hind
2 … GHPC a great looking game with a lot of future possibilities
3… No man’s sky … never thought I would go for this … but it’s turned into a damn good game
4…X4 a great long stander with some good dlc
5…il2 have spent nearly as much time with this as I wanted to
Honorary mentions to command and conquer remasterd and halo master chief set
Nice! I had forgotten about those.
My top five for this past year are:
And if I may cheat—an honorable mention to the boardgame Ark Nova.
That was an absolute blast!
According to my Steam Replay 2022:
I don’t have DCS on steam, so not sure how it stacks up against these other titles, but I suspect it’s on third place after rFactor 2 and Arma 3.
I tried Aircraft Carrier Survival when it was brand new, until the campaign simply wouldn’t advance beyond a mission. So those 5% were acumulated in April, lol.
Advanced Tactics Gold is a 2011 game, a 2d counter pushing wargame. I play it via email with a friend ever so often, quite enoyable. There are also specialized wargames based on the engine but with a newer core, most notable the Ardennes Offensive.
Carrier Deck is my goto game if I have 20-30 minutes to kill and surrender the illusion I would ever beat the 30 minute Survival scenario on Admiral level 
Cheers,
TeTeT
Same here. That game is my quiet moment game. I love it so much.
