avatar! | 1,827 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 (edited) What is the best game from 2020 and the worst, that you actually played? Personally, I think GoTY should go to Cyberpunk 2077, because it has been entertaining like no other game in a long time Seriously though, I haven't played many games from 2020 (to be clear, I mean released in 2020). But of the ones I played I would have to say my favorite was Nioh 2. To be fair, it's still getting upgrades, and in many ways it's clearly a Dark Souls derivative. But, the lovely mixture of Japanese folklore and history, the numerous weapons, magic, ninjitsu, the overall aesthetics - all top-notch. And again, I don't necessarily play games the year they come out so the competition wasn't exactly fierce. Still, I would highly recommend people purchase Nioh 2 especially for the PS5 when the complete edition comes out in February. That said, my vote for worst is Mortal Shell - it's a Dark Souls clone that had a lot of potential, but sadly fell very flat. Unlike Nioh 2 which did the Dark Souls mechanism correctly, Mortal Shell was just slow and boring. Edited December 26, 2020 by avatar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Rothchild | 9,584 Editorials Team · Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I think the only games I've played from 2020 that are completely new, are Carrion and Among Us. They were alright, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brickman | 4,013 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I looked at the list of games released this year and realised I haven’t played any of them. I am planning to play Age of Calamity over the next few days though. So if that is as good as the first Hyrule Warriors I’ll vote for that.

Andy_Bogomil | 815 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 The only two games I played/bought that were released this year are 3D Allstars and Animal Crossing for my wife. I have zero interest in AC and played for all of 20 minutes but she likes it so I'm happy. Allstars isn't even really 'new' so I don't have much say in this. Games are almost $100 in Canada so typically best to avoid buying new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know sometimes it's tricky keeping track of when a game gets ported... Also I really want to play Carrion, it looks sweet. Edited December 27, 2020 by avatar!

ZeldaFreak | 3,618 Events Team · Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 My favorite would by far be DOOM Eternal. One of the best FPS games ever released, and the highest point in the DOOM series since the first two games. Haven't played Age of Calamity though, we'll see how that fairs. I doubt it'll top DOOM Eternal for me though. Eternal is so damn fun once you get in to the swing of things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeldaFreak | 3,618 Events Team · Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Oh and, to be clear, FPS games aren't generally my go-to genre. Eternal is just that damn good, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox | 1,673 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Ghost of Tsushima is tops for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegularGuyGamer | 2,017 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 It was a stale year for gaming for me. Animal crossing didn't appeal to me, Cyber Punk isn't worth the money yet, and Halo got delayed. I ended up playing mostly games from 2019 out even later. I think my favorite game I played from this year was Kakorot, of all games lol One of the few I played that was released this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyMulk | 64 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I plunked down $3 nearly a decade ago to try a weird-looking amateur brawler called Streets of Fury from the Xbox Indies section. It seemed to be a tribute to Guardians of the ‘Hood of all things, and yet wound up having a crude but fun combo system that was light years beyond anything in that game.  And in 2020, that same team helped bring a proper Streets of Rage sequel to market that became my favorite game of the year. Amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumez | 2,994 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Best games: FF7 Remake, Paper Mario: The Origami King Not sure about worst. I didn't really play and noticeably bad new games this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s | 4,125 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Ghost of Tsushima was the best. TLoU2 was close but after they switch you over to playing as Abby I kind of lost interest.  No real worst game for me. Cyberpunk was definitely the most overhyped though. I have a Series X so I didn’t really get a ton of bugs or crashes. The main story was short and even though it looks really nice I thought it was lacking overall as a game. Honestly it would have been better if you just played as Silverhand and the story was based around that. Can’t wait for the prequel lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorEncore | 3,691 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) I'll have to think about it a little more, but I wanted to get something down. Best Ori and the Will of the Wisps Demon's Souls Worst Paper Mario: The Origami King (Not terrible, just terribly disappointing and easily my least favorite game of the year) Edited December 27, 2020 by DoctorEncore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
