My Top 10 Games of 2020
It's that time year again when we look back at the games released the previous year and rank the best ones we've played.
Now I didn't play everything and can think of some games like Hades or Yakuza Like a Dragon maybe making this list if I had played but from the 50+ I did these are the best 10.
10. Call of the Sea (Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC)
Call of the Sea is adventure style game which released late 2020 from Out of the Blue and Raw Fury starring Cissy Jones as the leas voice actress. CotS could have maybe placed higher, but the ending lets it down a tad.
9. Assassin's Creed Valhalla (PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Stadia, Luna, PC)
Ubisoft's continued its success of the previous AC games Origins and Odyssey with this new outing set in England.
8. If Found... (Switch, PC)
If found won't be for everyone being a visual novel, and it's themes, yet you will find a well written emotional story very much taking a look at.
7. Spider-Man Miles Morales (PS4, PS5)
Insomniac helps usher in a new PlayStation generation with this Spider-Man spin-off starring Miles Morales in the lead over Peter Parker.
6. Tell Me Why (Xbox One, PC)
Dontnod continue their brilliant way of story telling (Not so much with Twin Mirror) with this Xbox exclusive Tell Me Why, which is my Xbox Game of the Year.
Before we get to the Top 5, we have the worst game of the year G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout (PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC) which is just awful.
5. Final Fantasy VII Remake (PS4)
I had been waiting since the PS3 tech demo for this remake, and it was the worth that wait for what is my remake of the year and possibly the best soundtrack as well. Now we wait for the next entry.
4. Ori and the Will of the Wisps (Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, PC)
Moon Studios made it 2 for 2 with this awesome sequel to this Metroidvania series.
3. Ghost of Tsushima (PS4)
Sucker Punch moved away from platforming raccoons and superheroes to this open world adventure during the first Mongol invasion of Japan, in what I hope can become a new series for PlayStation much like Horizon.
2. Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Switch)
ACNH is my Nintendo Switch Game of the Year and could be argued to be the GOTY especially in 2020 as it's a game a lot of people needed this year and sells numbers are phenomenal.
1. The Last of Us Part II (PS4)
But there can only be one GOTY and that's Naughty Dog's follow up to 2013's The Last of Us with its sequel which might not just be the best game of 2020 but one of the best on the PS4 and the 8th generation as a whole.
