Best Video Game Quotes of 2022

Gaming transcends entertainment. With so much effort put into developing games that meet today's standards, the gaming industry is now leading the charge in innovation, technology, and creative art. The love and care put into every word said or displayed on screen to build the plot is part of the creativity oozing out of modern-day gaming. Of course, not every word will stick. Some you may even forget the minute you put your controller down.

But wouldn't you say that there's at least one quote that you can't stop captioning on Instagram or citing when giving a motivational speech somewhere? Even if you haven't used a gaming quote, are there certain ones that you can't seem to forget, whether for their wit, inspiration, or simply clever wording? We can’t quite possibly cover all the most memorable video game quotes of 2022, but we can certainly compile the best video game quotes of 2022 for your pleasure.

5. “You Will Witness True Horror” – Malenia, Elden Ring

Elden Ring is the most expansive, detailed, intriguing, and all-around RPG game not only in 2022 but in gaming history. Hours upon hours have been spent exploring the vast fantasy landscapes of the Lands Between, with almost always a new dungeon space, a puzzle, an artifact, or something unique to discover each time you log onto the game.

Of course, walking these vast lands immerses you completely in your quest to become Elden Lord. But, above the meticulously designed landscapes, the deeply engaging combat, and the vast exploration, therein lies an interconnected, epic story enriched with lore, legends, and characters with unique motivations to back it up.

Each character comes across as fearsome and inspiring, especially Malenia, a fearsome demigod beauty whose immense power is exemplified when she breathes, “You will witness true horror!” out of her lungs. Will you triumph over her, or will you be subjected to the true horror she guarantees? Because of how fast she moves, how quickly she heals, and the scarlet rot she instills in her foes, this particular scene is a truly terrifying showdown you wouldn’t want to miss.

4. “It's Not About The Distant Hope Of Creating A New World… It's About Preserving The One We Have” – Aloy, Horizon Forbidden West

Aloy | Forbidden West

Horizon Forbidden West‘s most memorable character, Aloy, is a young warrior from the Nora tribe. She grew up an outcast but not leads the charge with her companions to investigate the mysterious plague laying waste to all it infects. In the midst of all the heartache and the possible destruction of the earth, she believes the solution doesn’t lie someplace else on a different planet. 

The reality sinks even deeper when Far Zenith seeks refuge elsewhere. But Aloy urges her companions to stick to their mission, to protect and preserve their home at all costs. A quote that happens to also coincide with the current state of our real world too.

3.”You're the only one small and quick enough to evade the Zurks. We need you, little Outsider. Bring us to the sky!” – Momo, Stray

Video Game Quotes of 2022

Everyone’s favorite cat, Stray, is a forlorn, actual stray cat looking to find his way home. But much greater things are ahead, lying in wait to be revealed to Stray at the most opportune time. It’s funny because Momo seems surely more of an expert capable of handling the crisis in The Slums rather than a cat. 

But Momo’s quite depressed and lonely after his friends left him to go to “The Outside.” Now he desperately needs Stray’s help. However feeble and tiny she is, it turns out those qualities are exactly what Momo needs to save the day. 

2. “For The Sake Of Our Children, We Must Be Better.” – Kratos, God of War Ragnarok

"For the sake of our children, we must be better"| God of War Ragnarök

If you’ve played God of War Ragnarok, you’ll know the theme throughout the game is to do better, be better, for each other, and for the sake of the world around you. While Kratos works towards being a better father who’s more involved in his son Atreus’ life, Atreus works towards making his father proud of him as he matures through his teenage years.

The themes in “God of War Ragnarok” are certainly not strange to the real-world relationships we have. If not for the exact father-son relationship, then the constant affirmation to leave the world better than we found it. Of course, it becomes a sort of mantra between Kratos and Atreus, and beyond. 

“We must be better,” they say to each other throughout their journey, living the very words through to the latter parts of the game. And if you trace back these words in God of War, you’ll find Freya was the first to say them to Kratos before she died, and towards the end, Kratos says them to Thor while gutting him to his death. Whew.

1.“I think I get you… it’s like how you can never be a true gamer if you only ever play on easy mode” – Neon White, Neon White

Now for some comic relief, the majority of which can be found littered all over Neon White. I'm not sure how true the quote is—that a true gamer does more than just play easy mode. What's your view? It's definitely a contentious issue that has the potential to divide people. I think there’s no problem with always playing in easy mode. Either way, it's a quote that’s sure to stick with most long after the scene ends.

Neon White is a character who’s almost always throwing shade or saying something ridiculous just for the fun of it, which is great because he could flip the switch at any moment and say something really wise. In any case, there's never a dull moment when playing Neon White, even if you're experiencing one of the most contentious debates in gaming, which is sure to almost always be accompanied by some light humor, shock, anger, or some other type of emotion.
