Favorite Games Played in 2022 | #5 C.A.R.L. by Nintendrew

In 2022, we purchased and played a lot of games for a lot of different systems. From current generation Xbox Series S, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 5 to retro games on the NES, Famicom and Genesis, there has been a lot to enjoy. I haven't played a lot of the 2022 new releases, slacker I know, but I did want to share my favorite games I spent time with in the past year.

Title: C.A.R.L.
System: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows

Plot: Inspired by classic PC games, C.A.R.L. is a retro-style adventure that blends classic platformer action with quirky RPG and story elements for a quest as lively as it is robotic!

Hop into the shiny metal shoes of the Computer-Automated Resource Locator, a small yet daring automaton lost within the sprawling Kent Industries facility. Brave each perilous factory floor to fetch Tech Units for your engineer friend on the outside, unlocking new areas and abilities along the way. Befriend defective robots in the D.U.M.P. (Depot of Unusable Machinery and Parts), collect items, and beat fierce foes to bring the facility’s sinister secrets to light!

Where I Bought It:
I actually entered a Twitter contest and won a download code from the developers!

Why I love it:
First and foremost, it's just cool to see someone I know make a game. Much like John Riggs with Yeah Yeah Beebiss II, seeing Nintendrew make C.A.R.L. is just amazing. Secondly, there's so much fun in this game. It's great to look at, has awesome controls, it's both frustratingly challenging and immensely fun at the same time. This is the type of retro-styled game I love and Andrew and the team did an amazing job with C.A.R.L.
