This list will not include DLCs (such as The Foundation or AWE for Control), expansions (such as Destiny 2 Beyond Light), or hardware reviews. It will contain ports and remakes of games. 

Here are our best games of 2020, starting with a real good one and getting better from there. 

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim

Publisher: AtlusDeveloper: VanillawarePlatforms: PS4Rating: 10/10

What we said: 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim mixes smart design with superb storytelling, then slathers the whole package in gorgeous style. 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim spins a web of mystery around you, then chuckles smugly as you think you’ve found your way out only to realize you’re in the middle of a maze.

A Fold Apart

Publisher: Lightning Rod GamesDeveloper: Lightning Rod GamesPlatforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, iOSRating: 9/10

What we said: A Fold Apart is about hope and how love can get us through even the toughest of times. In that way, it’s timeless. 

The game is so incredibly charming and so accurately depicts the rigors and pleasures of being in love that I can’t help but adore it. The first title from Lightning Rod Games isn’t perfect by definition, but even with a few tiny blemishes, it’s only a fold apart.

Amnesia: Rebirth

Publisher: Frictional GamesDeveloper: Frictional GamesPlatforms: PC, PS4Rating: 8/10

What we said: Though its scares don’t reach the heights of the original, Amnesia: Rebirth remains a must-play horror game for delivering a story more akin to a brilliant novel.

Among Us

Publisher: InnerslothDeveloper: InnerslothPlatforms: PC, Switch, MobileRating: 8/10

What we said: Flaws aside, Among Us is a clever game that deserves its time in the spotlight. It works a surprisingly complex concept into a simple and accessible package where matches are quick, fun, usually hilarious, and sometimes even intense.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Publisher: NintendoDeveloper: NintendoPlatforms: SwitchRating: 10/10

What we said: The latest Animal Crossing is also the best, full of life, charm, and near-endless ways to make your very own island paradise.

New Horizons is bursting with personality and charm, with opportunities to create something new and completely you. It’s compelling and also one of the most chilled out games you’ll ever play. In short, there’s nothing quite like Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

Publisher: UbisoftDeveloper: Ubisoft MontrealPlatforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, StadiaRating: 8/10

What we said: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla builds its world around a familiar formula, but with a compelling story and plenty of things to do, it’s a game series fans will find inviting.

Read the review. 

Astro’s Playroom

Publisher: Sony Interactive EntertainmentDeveloper: Team ASOBIIPlatforms: PS5Rating: 9/10

What we said: Astro’s Playroom proves that the DualSense’s haptics and adaptive triggers are for real — and that Astro Bot could have a very bright future on PlayStation 5. Though it’s short and may lack enemy variety, Astro’s Playroom makes up for it in character and heart.

Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk DX

Publisher: Koei TecmoDeveloper: Gust Co. LtdPlatforms: PS4, SwitchRating: 8/10

What we said: Atelier Ayesha DX is a solid entry starting off the Dusk trilogy, with compelling crafting and gameplay loops, as well as plenty of loveable characters. Overall, Atelier Ayesha DX is a great entry in the series whether you’re new to it or just finding it now. 

Read the review. 

Atelier Escha and Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky DX

Publisher: Koei TecmoDeveloper: Gust Co. LtdPlatforms: PS4, SwitchRating: 9/10

What we said: Atelier Escha & Logy DX refines the formula Ayesha laid out and other new features that make it not just the best in the Dusk trilogy, but one of the best Atelier games in general. All in all, Atelier Escha & Logy DX is easily the best entry in the Dusk trilogy  With refined mechanics, better combat, and seriously compelling crafting systems, it even stands among the top entries in the Atelier series on the whole.

Read the review. 

Atelier Shallie: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea

Publisher: Koei TecmoDeveloper: Gust Co. LtdPlatforms: PS4, SwitchRating: 8/10

What we said: Though Atelier Shallie falls short in some ways, it’s still a solid package with compelling crafting and combat systems. Atelier Shallie is the weakest part of the Dusk trilogy. It’s ambitious in doing away with the time system and trying for a more flexible approach. But there’s just not enough worthwhile content to make the freedom and flexibility a satisfying trade-off for the systems it does away with, and it doesn’t make good use of its own strengths.

AO Tennis 2

Publisher: Big Ant StudiosDeveloper: Big Ant StudiosPlatforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, SwitchRating: 8/10

What we said: AO Tennis 2 feels like a sports sim built first and foremost to correct its predecessor’s mistakes, and that’s a directive that pays off for tennis fans. Not without issues, AO Tennis 2 is my pick for the best tennis game on the market today. There’s obvious room to grow, but this has quickly become Big Ant’s best series in their ever-expanding catalog of sports titles.

Before We Leave

Publisher: Balancing Monkey GamesDeveloper: Balancing Monkey GamesPlatforms: PCRating: 8/10

What we said: Before We Leave is a relaxing take on the post-apocalypse and city building, with enough benefits to overcome its hiccups.

Read the review. 

Bloodroots

Publisher: Paper CultDeveloper: Paper CultPlatforms: PC, PS4, SwitchRating: 9/10

What we said: Bloodroots is a high-speed slash-and-bash extravaganza that always makes you want to beat “just one more level.” A good game can be really fun when things are going well and you feel skilled and empowered. A great game remains fun when you feel like a useless idiot who can’t do anything right. Bloodroots is a great game.

Blood Rage

Publisher: AsmodeeDeveloper: Exozet GamesPlatforms: PCRating: 8/10

What we said: Blood Rage: Digital Edition is a strong port of the popular tabletop game that’s challenging for both newcomers and veterans alike. Blood Rage: Digital Edition is a really strong port of a popular tabletop game.

Battletoads

Publisher: Xbox Game StudiosDeveloper: RarePlatforms: PC, Xbox OneRating: 8/10

What we said: Battletoads returns after 26 years, and it’s a love letter to gaming past and present. The urgency at which it propels you through its runtime is both a blessing and a curse, as it’s hard to put down but ultimately a short affair. 

Read the review. 

BPM: Bullets Per Minute

Publisher: Awe InteractiveDeveloper: Awe InteractivePlatforms: PC, PS4, Xbox OneRating: 9/10

What we said: BPM: Bullets Per Minute is a challenging rhythm shooter that’s difficult to master but highly satisfying. It’s not a forgiving experience, and though it’s difficult to master, BPM proves surprisingly easy to pick up and play. 

Read the review.

Bubble Bobble 4 Friends

Publisher: ININ GamesDeveloper: TaitoPlatforms: PS4, SwitchRating: 8/10

What we said: Bubble Bobble 4 Friends is, for the most part, exactly what fans would have hoped for. It’s a modern classic that keeps all the charm we loved about the original 80s game. There’s a significant graphics improvement of course, but the gameplay itself is largely identical.

Read the review. 

Cake Bash

Publisher: High Tea FrogDeveloper: CoatsinkPlatforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, StadiaRating: 8/10

What we said: There’s a lot to love about Cake Bash, and High Tea Frog has made an excellent party game for their debut title. With a variety of entertaining games, some lively stages, and good replayability, it’s a fun experience, especially with friends. We only wish there was more of it on offer. Though some minigames feel a little finicky, it’s otherwise a sweet treat all around.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War

Publisher: ActivisionDeveloper: Treyarch, Raven SoftwarePlatforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series XRating: 8/10

What we said: Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is full of content that series fans will enjoy and offers a few unexpected surprises along the way. The vast amount of content at launch is enough to draw players in, while the promise of more will keep players around. 

Read the review.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered

Publisher: ActivisionDeveloper: BeenoxPlatforms: PC, PS4, Xbox OneRating: 8/10

What we said: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered is a mostly commanding return of the game’s classic single-player, though not without a few hiccups. It is a functionally updated retelling of a story millions know and played in their formative years. The characters and politics are somehow as relevant today as they were back when the game first released, and it still sounds, plays, and looks better than most shooters on the market.

Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions

Publisher: Bandai NamcoDeveloper: TamsoftPlatforms: PC, PS4, SwitchRating: 9/10

What we said: Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions is legitimately the best arcade sports title to come out since Rocket League. The simple, easy truth here is that if you’re craving an arcade soccer game, you really should buy Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions. 

Read the review. 

Carrion

Publisher: Devolver DigitalDeveloper: Phobia Game StudioPlatforms: PC, Xbox One, SwitchRating: 8/10

What we said: Carrion is a beautifully orchestrated symphony of blood, guts, and dismembered limbs. While Carrion won’t win any awards, it plays out much like a late Friday night feature, full of gruesome horror and satisfying effects. More importantly, it doesn’t outstay its welcome.

Read the review. 

Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time

Publisher: ActivisionDeveloper: Toys for BobPlatforms: PS4, Xbox OneRating: 8/10

What we said: Ultimately, Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time had a lot riding on it. Being the sequel to a 22-year-old game likely presented Toys for Bob with some developmental challenges, but the development team nailed nearly everything about this sequel. The Crash series has seen its fair share of mediocre (or even bad) entries, but Crash 4 is a big step in the right direction, and the future of the series couldn’t be more exciting. 

Read the review. 

Crusader Kings 3

Publisher: Paradox InteractiveDeveloper: Paradox Development StudioPlatforms: PCRating: 9/10

What we said: Crusader Kings 3 is the best looking and most accessible the series has ever been. If you’ve always been intrigued by the idea of Crusader Kings but bounced off of it, Crusader Kings 3 is the best way to get started. 

Read the review. 

Deliver Us the Moon

Publisher: Wired ProductionsDeveloper: KeokeN InteractivePlatforms: PS4, Xbox OneRating: 8/10

What we said: A narrative journey through space so intriguing and full of compelling puzzles that it easily papers over some minor cracks in execution and major leaps it asks the player to make.

Just as the interesting minutiae of the plot are enough to overcome some of the issues I had with the macro-level concept, the overall experience was more than enough to make up for having one or two bouts of irritation.

Read the review. 

Demon’s Souls

Publisher: Sony Interactive EntertainmentDeveloper: Bluepoint GamesPlatforms: PS5Rating: 9/10

What we said: Demon’s Souls is an instant classic, one of those rare retellings that stands triumphantly alongside the original as an essential experience. This remaster stands as a shining example of how transformative reimaginings can be, and how, with loving dedication, a remaster can be just as revolutionary and memorable as its source material.

Read the review.

Desperados 3

Publisher: THQ NordicDeveloper: Mimimi GamesPlatforms: PC, PS4, Xbox OneRating: 8/10

What we said: Desperados 3 is a much-belated sequel that strikes the right balance between classic gameplay mechanics and modern sensibilities. It’s a welcome return for the series. Mimimi Games has proven once again that they know the genre, as both Desperados 3 and Shadow Tactics demonstrate.

Read the review.

Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition

Publisher: CapcomDeveloper: CapcomPlatforms: PS5, Xbox Series X|SRating: 9/10

What we said: Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition makes a great game even better with a new character, new modes, and overhauled visuals for next-gen consoles. Devil May Cry 5 may not have a whole lot that’s truly new to offer, but what it does add and change manages to elevate an already excellent action game into the upper echelon of the entire genre.

Read the review. 

Dirt 5

Publisher: CodemastersDeveloper: CodemastersPlatforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, StadiaRating: 8/10

What we said: Dirt 5 continues Codemaster’s tradition of creating some of the finest racing games around that have neither the words “Gran,” “Forza,” or “Speed” in the title.

Read the review. 

Disgaea 4 Complete+

Publisher: NIS AmericaDeveloper: Nippon Ichi SoftwarePlatforms: PCRating: 9/10

What we said: Disgaea 4 Complete+ is the definitive version of the game, with upgrades galore, tons of content to get lost in, and one of the strongest casts in the series. Disgaea 4 Complete+ is one of the stronger entries in the series, with its outlandish cast and relevant, if loose, story.

Read the review. 

Doom Eternal

Publisher: Bethesda Developer: id SoftwarePlatforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, Stadia, SwitchRating: 9/10

What we said: Doom Eternal absolutely delivers on all-fronts by blasting us with one of the most intense and satisfying single-player shooter campaigns in years. From the moment you kill your first enemy with the starting shotgun to when you revel in the explosion of blood from your final enemy, Doom Eternal is a nearly non-stop thrill ride that exceeds almost every expectation.

Dragon’s Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age Definitive Edition

Publisher: Square EnixDeveloper: Square EnixPlatforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, SwitchRating: 10/10

What we said: Dragon Quest XI Definitive Edition makes one of the most joyous and downright wonderful gaming experiences of all time even better. The Definitive Edition of Dragon Quest XI is the perfect salve. It’s a game unashamed to be a video game, and it’s one that embraces its roots in a charming, beautiful way. It’s unashamedly jolly and light, but most importantly, it’s comforting.

Read the review.

Dreams

Publisher: Sony Interactive EntertainmentDeveloper: Media MoleculePlatforms: PS4Rating: 9/10

What we said: On one hand, Dreams is a bottomless bag filled with toys, vignettes, and indie games. On the other, Dreams is a must-own for anyone who’s ever been curious about game design. Dreams is the best platform for anybody who loves playing tons of indie games, or who would like to make one themselves, or even just those who’d like to network into a game development community.

Read the review.

Fall Guys

Publisher: Devolver DigitalDeveloper: MediatonicPlatforms: PC, PS4Rating: 8/10

What we said: Despite unbalanced team-match dynamics and pesky server issues (which the developers are ironing out) sometimes interfering with the fun, the simple approach of Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout makes these negatives seem meaningless in the long run. This is not only the game we want in 2020 — but it’s the game we need. Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is a comfort blanket that provides some warm, friendly fun with friends.

Read the review. 

Final Fantasy 7 Remake 

Publisher: Square EnixDeveloper: Square EnixPlatforms: PS4Rating: 10/10

What we said: Final Fantasy 7 Remake faithfully updates Midgar and the original’s enigmatic cast of antiheroes for a new generation, masterfully weaving its own grand tale in the process. In fact, it could be the best Final Fantasy game I’ve ever played — period.

Read the review. 

Fort Triumph

Publisher: All In! GamesDeveloper: CookieByte EntertainmentPlatforms: PCRating: 9/10

What we said: Fort Triumph expertly blends genres into a strategy experience that’s infinitely fun and endlessly charming. Fort Triumph is just a lot of fun, and the charm oozes from every arrow wound, spell singe, and sword strike, making it a very easy recommendation indeed. 

Read the review. 

Fuser

Publisher: NCSOFTDeveloper: HarmonixPlatforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, SwitchRating: 9/10

What we said: FUSER would be an incredibly special game if it came out last year. But now, in late 2020, it almost seems necessary. This game is already something very, very special, and it’s only going to get better as the community grows. After all, it’s always better to make music with friends.

Read the review. 

Gears Tactics

Publisher: Xbox Game StudiosDeveloper: The CoalitionPlatforms: PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|SRating: 8/10

What we said: Gears Tactics takes the intense third-person action of the console game into the realm of PC-centric turn-based tactical strategy. Thanks to intuitive controls, Gears Tactics is easy to get into even for players who have never played a turn-based tactical squad game before. It’s just a shame there’s not more here.

Read the review. 

Get Packed

Publisher: CoatsinkDeveloper: Moonshine StudiosPlatforms: StadiaRating: 8/10

What we said: Get Packed is strangely not the only indie co-op arcade game about moving furniture to launch recently, but it ends up standing out with its own kind of hilarious chaos. Get Packed is playable for up to four players in local or online play and across several modes, including a campaign, versus, and destruction. Whichever you choose, the colorful and bubbly characters and levels you’ve come to expect from games like this are back once more.

Read the review. 

Ghost of Tsushima

Publisher: Sony Interactive EntertainmentDeveloper: Sucker PunchPlatforms: PS4Rating: 8/10

What we said: Ghost of Tsushima offers an amazing open-world experience and satisfying combat, only mildly held back by its writing and characters. Ghost of Tsushima does a lot of things right. Its got fun combat, a wonderfully designed world, and top-notch sound design. Neither the story nor the characters moved me in any real way, even though I could tell both were trying.

Read the review. 

Ghostrunner

Publisher: 505 GamesDeveloper: One More LevelPlatforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, SwitchRating: 8/10

What we said: In Ghostrunner, a single slash divides life and death. It’s fast, frenetic, and, even in the face of its weaker moments, endlessly satisfying. Ghostrunner offers satisfying combat in a well-constructed, beautiful cyberpunk world. You will feel more and more powerful as the game moves on, and moving through the world is always a wonderful experience.

Read the review. 

Hades

Publisher: Supergiant GamesDeveloper: Supergiant GamesPlatforms: PC, SwitchRating: 10/10

What we said: Hades is everything great about the roguelite genre all but perfected. Few games aim as high, and fewer still reach their goals. Hades does, exceeding even the loftiest expectations.

Read the review. 

Half-Life: Alyx

Publisher: ValveDeveloper: ValvePlatforms: PCRating: 10/10

What we said: While the “VR-only” part may alienate many current PC gamers, it’s a triumph that a VR title as excellent as Alyx exists at all.

The release of a VR game like Half-Life: Alyx is a momentous occasion. Not only is this one of the very first AAA VR games to break the bubble, but it’s also a revival of one of the most beloved game franchises on the planet, following up on a nearly 13-year hiatus that left us all on a very inconvenient cliffhanger.

Read the review. 

Huntdown

Publisher: Coffee Stain StudiosDeveloper: Easy Trigger GamesPlatforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, SwitchRating: 9/10

What we said: Huntdown is a throwback run and gun shooter that cares about style and rewards precision. Huntdown understands the genre and its influences, and it carves its own path. It’s short enough that you can play through it in a single sitting, taking four to six hours, depending on the difficulty you choose. 

Read the review. 

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity

Publisher: NintendoDeveloper: Omega ForcePlatforms: SwitchRating: 9/10

What we said: Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is a heck of a Warriors game and a fantastic love letter to Breath of the Wild and Zelda in general. Maybe Age of Calamity is a stop-gap to tide fans over until Breath of the Wild 2, but no effort was spared in making it a quality game.

Read the review. 

Iron Harvest

Publisher: Deep SilverDeveloper: King Art GamesPlatforms: PCRating: 8/10

What we said: Iron Harvest leverages its unique setting and strong design into an impressive and memorable RTS. If you’re looking for a strong, single-player RTS with a unique world to explore, Iron Harvest is a perfect option. 

Read the review. 

Immortals Fenyx Rising

What we said: It may look like a Breath of the Wild clone, but Immortals Fenyx Rising has a lot of unique charm that makes it a must-play for fans of the genre. Immortals Fenyx Rising has undeniable charm. Your mileage may vary, but don’t sleep on this one. It’s worth the adventure.

Read the review.

Journey to the Savage Planet

Publisher: 505 GamesDeveloper: Typhoon StudiosPlatforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, SwitchRating: 8/10

What we said: Journey to the Savage Planet is a satirical and colorful Metroidvania that survives its corny jokes thanks to fun traversal and worthwhile exploration. With an intriguing world and creature design, the right amount of retro principles, and a surprisingly long post-credits tail worth chasing, Journey to the Savage Planet is a light-hearted, charming debut from a promising new studio.

Read the review. 

Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory

Publisher: Square EnixDeveloper: Square EnixPlatforms: PS4, Xbox One, SwitchRating: 8/10

What we said: Melody of Memory is a nostalgic, rhythmic celebration of Kingdom Hearts that fans of the series and the genre will adore. Drawing upon a rich soundtrack that ranges from original songs to Disney hits, there’s a lot to love in this new spin-off, but don’t expect any major story developments.

Read the review. 

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning

Publisher: THQ NordicDeveloper: KaikoPlatforms: PC, PS4, Xbox OneRating: 9/10

What we said: Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning changes little from its original release because it doesn’t need to. This is immediately one of the best RPGs you can play this entire generation.

Read the review. 

Kunai

Publisher: The Arcade CrewDeveloper: TurtleBlazePlatforms: PC, SwitchRating: 8/10

What we said: Classic components come together to form a stellar slashing platformer, with the titular kunai providing a particularly high note.

Metroidvania games remain a popular niche in the gaming community with good reason, and KUNAI is a worthwhile addition to the genre. It’s easy to pick up and get going, but it provides enough escalation as you progress to keep you interested as you move from sector to sector, picking up new toys and perks along the way.

Read the review. 

Maneater

Publisher: Tripwire InteractiveDeveloper: Tripwire InteractivePlatforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, SwitchRating: 9/10

What we said: Maneater’s deep combat and deeper oceans provide just the type of blissful escapism we need right now. Even if it wasn’t on your radar at all, Maneater is a title that will gobble you up for a few hours of blissful escapism.

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales

Publisher: Sony Interactive EntertainmentDeveloper:  Insomniac GamesPlatforms: PS4, PS5Rating: 10/10

What we said: Insomniac wanted to please Miles Morales fans with their latest Spider-Man adventure. The result is a damn near perfect action-adventure game. It’s also close to being perfect when it comes to representation. Black and brown people fill out most of the roles and do so with gusto. Their performances, at times, eclipsing what came before. I’m thoroughly pleased with what Insomniac has accomplished.

Magic: ManaStrike

Publisher: NetmarbleDeveloper: NetmarblePlatforms: AndroidRating: 8/10

What we said: Magic: ManaStrike is a very familiar strategy game that includes some classic characters to make for an all-around fun time. There is a constant stream of rewards for those who don’t want to spend money, too, so you never feel hamstrung for not wanting to buy in-game items. It’s fun and has enough depth to make for some interesting strategies, the more you play.

Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection

Publisher: CapcomDeveloper: Capcom Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, SwitchRating: 8/10

What we said: Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection is an excellent little package that is sure to please fans both old and new.

Overall, you’d be hard-pressed to beat the Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection. All of the games are enjoyable, the new features make them far easier to consume for modern players, and the love to the series spills out of every frame. It’s just a very good collection of very good games, even if the title is utterly absurd.

Metro Redux 

Publisher: Koch MediaDeveloper:  4A GamesPlatforms: SwitchRating: 8/10

What we said: Metro Redux arrives on the Nintendo Switch with a bombastic statement: absolutely nobody’s safe from Switch-ification. 

%in_article_ad_unit21%

Metro Redux on Switch feels like one of those rare Switch games that shouldn’t exist. I mean that in a very, very good way. I also mean it in the sense that, thematically and technically, it doesn’t seem like it would be a great natural fit for Nintendo’s portable gaming console.

MLB The Show 20

Publisher: Sony Interactive EntertainmentDeveloper: SIE San DiegoPlatforms: PS4Rating: 8/10

What we said: MLB The Show 20 doesn’t rewrite the script, but its numerous tweaks to gameplay, modes, and options makes it the best baseball game around. MLB The Show 20 still feels like the most complete baseball title available — comfortably so, in fact. But it doesn’t feel like a significant evolution over last year’s entry in the series. 

Read the review. 

Mortal Shell

Publisher: PlaystackDeveloper: Cold Symmetry Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox OneRating: 8/10

What we said: Far from being a pretender, Mortal Shell is a sometimes exceptional entry to the genre. Its stumbles are noticeable only because there is so much to enjoy.

Read the review. 

Moving Out

Publisher: Team17Developer:  SMG StudioPlatforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, SwitchRating: 8/10

What we said: Moving Out’s familiar brand of local-multiplayer party-game fun lets everyone join in on the fun, laughter, and cursing. Whatever your preference is, Moving Out certainly provides the same flavor of co-operative tension and burst-out-loud laughter as Overcooked. 

Read the review. 

Murder by Numbers

Publisher: The Irregular CorporationDeveloper: MediatonicPlatforms: PC, SwitchRating: 9/10

What we said: Murder by Numbers is an exquisite detective puzzler with wonderful writing, gorgeous graphics, and masterful music. The comparisons to the Phoenix Wright series are instantly evident. Not only do the visuals share the same motif of hand-drawn 2D sprites, speech boxes, and thick lines, but the gameplay is very similar, too. 

%in_article_ad_unit22%

The soundtrack is lively, bouncy, and upbeat. It’s inspirational and uplifting when the moment is happy, it’s imposing and harsh when the pressure is on, and it’s cold and gloomy when the protagonist doubts themselves.

My Hero One’s Justice 2

Publisher: Bandai NamcoDeveloper: Byking Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, SwitchRating: 8/10

What we said: My Hero One’s Justice 2 is a lot like the original, with a few minor adjustments that might entice you to enter the arena once again. Make no mistake, My Hero One’s Justice 2 is a good, fun arena brawler on its own merits. Taken on its own, the game really does provide an amazing adaptation of the My Hero Academia franchise.

Read the review. 

NHL 21

Publisher: EADeveloper: EA VancouverPlatforms: PS4, Xbox OneRating: 8/10

What we said: NHL 21 provides more of the same, and with the uncertainty of the real world season, even less of what few changes fans come to expect of yearly releases.

Read the review. 

Nioh 2

Publisher: Sony Interactive EntertainmentDeveloper: Team NinjaPlatforms: PS4Rating: 9/10

What we said: Nioh 2 takes everything great about the first game and dials it up. Despite a few returning gremlins, this is an instant hit for fans of the series. Nioh 2 is essentially more Nioh, but better. Fans of the series will find plenty to enjoy here, and newcomers won’t feel like they had to play the first game to appreciate what it has to offer.

Read the review. 

Not for Broadcast

Publisher: TinyBuild GamesDeveloper: NotGamesPlatforms: PCRating: 8/10

What we said: Who knew that overseeing a bunch of media personalities who say so little by saying so much could be so fun? Not For Broadcast is excellently paced. As soon as you pull up behind the switchboard, you’re presented with a smorgasbord of screens, buttons, and switches. While it would be easy to overwhelm new players with options, the game takes it slow.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4

Publisher: Bandai NamcoDeveloper: Koei TecmoPlatforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, SwitchRating: 8/10

What we said: One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is not only one of the best One Piece games but possibly one of the best Musou games around. When you throw in the ability to grind out your skill trees and chase ever more impressive kill counts, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is a game with an incredible level of replayability.

One Step From Eden

Publisher: Humble BundleDeveloper: Thomas Moon KangPlatforms: PC, PS4, SwitchRating: 9/10

What we said: One Step From Eden is a fantastic rogue-like deck-building game that is a few small tweaks away from perfection. Like most roguelites, One Step From Eden is brimming with replay value but can easily be played in short stints, too; each run takes 30-60 minutes to complete — or, more often, 5-10 minutes to lose.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps 

Publisher: Xbox Game StudiosDeveloper: Moon StudiosPlatforms: PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, SwitchRating: 9/10

What we said: Ori and the Will of the Wisps is another triumph return for the series — a beautiful game with only the smallest blemishes to its luster. If you want to play a beautiful, often difficult Metroidvania with some of the most satisfying combat and traversal mechanics the genre has to offer, Ori and the Will of the Wisps will give you plenty to be excited about.

Othercide

Publisher: Developer: Initial Release Date: Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, SwitchRating: 8/10

What we said: Othercide is a modern gothic take on turn-based tactics. It’s stylish, difficult, and a solid addition to the genre. If you want a tough take on turn-based tactics, Othercide is a great pick-up. If you’ve tried the genre before and bounced off because of the gameplay, it isn’t going to change your mind.

Orcs Must Die 3

Publisher: GoogleDeveloper: Robot EntertainmentPlatforms: StadiaRating: 8/10

What we said: Though its name offers no way around it, the creative ways you dispatch foes makes Orcs Must Die 3 perhaps the most addictive Stadia exclusive to date.

Orwell’s Animal Farm

Publisher: The DairymenDeveloper: Nerial Platforms: PCRating: 8/10

What we said: Orwell’s Animal Farm faithfully recreates and even reinvents the classic allegory at a time when it’s never been more relevant for some players. There’s absolutely an audience for this game, and if you find yourself in it, Orwell’s Animal Farm is a timely, effective reimagining of one of the last century’s most notable allegories.

Paper Mario: The Origami King

Publisher: NintendoDeveloper: Intelligent SystemsPlatforms: SwitchRating: 9/10

What we said: Despite a combat system that gets old quickly, Paper Mario: The Origami King’s writing, puzzles, and worldbuilding make it the best entry since The Thousand-Year Door.

Persona 5 Royal

Publisher: Atlus USADeveloper:  P-StudioPlatforms: PS4Rating: 10/10

What we said: Persona 5 Royal improves on the original in almost countless ways, big and small, to deliver a top-notch RPG for new and old fans alike. If you haven’t played Persona 5 countless times, you’re in for a real treat. Persona 5 Royal is easily the best Persona game yet and one of the best RPGs available right now.

Pikmin 3

Publisher: NintendoDeveloper: Eighting Platforms: SwitchRating: 9/10

What we said: Pikmin 3 Deluxe is the best the series has to offer, a showcase of creative design and smart strategy. It’s one of the most enjoyable experiences on the Switch.

Pumpkin Jack

Publisher: HeadupDeveloper: Nicolas MeyssonnierPlatforms: PC, Xbox One, PS4, SwitchRating: 8/10

What we said: With levels reminiscent of beloved 3D platformers and an irresistible audiovisual experience, playing Pumpkin Jack this Halloween is exciting and youthful like trick-or-treaters finding the house giving out full-size candy bars.

Rune Factory 4 Special

Publisher: XSEEDDeveloper: NeverlandPlatforms: SwitchRating: 9/10

What we said: Rune Factory 4 is an abundant RPG, full of fun characters, things to do, and a compelling network of interlocking systems. While Rune Factory 4 might not reach the epic heights of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 or Dragon Quest 11 S, and as a simulator, it might get overlooked for Animal Crossing: New Horizons. However, Rune Factory 4 manages to be something else entirely and manages it very well.

Resident Evil 3 Remake

Publisher: CapcomDeveloper: CapcomPlatforms: PC, PS4, Xbox OneRating: 8/10

What we said: Resident Evil 3 is a decent horror-action game that falls short of the Resident Evil 2 standard. To be fair, though, RE3 is trying some new things. It’s much more of a straightforward action game than RE2, keeping a lot of the trappings of survival horror while emphasizing RE4-style shoot-’em-up gameplay.

Publisher: Spike ChunsoftDeveloper: Mages Inc.Platforms: PC, PS4, SwitchRating: 8/10

What we said: Robotics;Notes ELITE & DaSH give fans lighthearted adventures with the Robot Research Club in the Science Adventure universe. Fans of the Science Adventure series, and visual novels in general, will enjoy Robotics;Notes ELITE. While it doesn’t quite reach the incredibly soaring highs of Steins;Gate, it is more enjoyable than the underwhelming Chaos;Head.

Sackboy: A Big Adventure

Publisher: Sony Interactive EntertainmentDeveloper: Sumo DigitalPlatforms: PS4, PS5Rating: 9/10

What we said: After a six-year absence, PlayStation’s knitted icon returns in stunning form in one of the year’s best platformers. With an A-list cast, superb visuals, and some strong co-op gameplay, Sackboy: A Big Adventure successfully proves that Sackboy can thrive without LittleBigPlanet’s creation mechanics, all while still paying homage to his roots.

Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin

Publisher: XSEEDDeveloper: EdelweissPlatforms: PC, PS4, SwitchRating: 10/10

What we said: Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin is a bold genre fusion that pays off with superb farming and combat systems plus a cast of characters you’ll remember for a long time to come. It might ask you to take it on its own terms from time to time, but that’s a small price to pay when the experience is this rewarding and unique.

Sakura Wars

Publisher: SEGADeveloper: SEGA Platforms: PS4Rating: 8/10

What we said: Sakura Wars’ unique LIPS system, thoroughly charming cast of characters, and great writing more than make up for its less than stellar combat. It’s a strong reboot, and one I truly hope heralds an encore for the series. There’s nothing else quite like Sakura Wars, and that’s a compliment.

Samurai Shodown

Publisher: SNKDeveloper: SNKPlatforms: SwitchRating: 8/10

What we said: 2019’s Samurai Shodown is finally available for the Switch, bringing one of the foundational Japanese fighting games to a brand-new audience. Samurai Shodown has managed to make the trip to the Switch without sacrificing more than a little bit of graphical fidelity.

Sayonara Wild Hearts

Publisher: Annapurna InteractiveDeveloper: Simogo Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, SwitchRating: 10/10

What we said: In its one-hour runtime, Sayonara Wild Hearts transcends video games and becomes not just a playable pop album, but a hypnotic self-help soundtrack. It’s an endorphin factory. Sayonara Wild Hearts is more than a game for me. It’s a catharsis vessel. It’s a story of self-love. It’s a reminder that some things break but that doesn’t make us broken. It was once a dream and now forever a memory. It’s transcendent and undying, but, of course, it is. Wild Hearts Never Die.

Serious Sam 4

Publisher: Devolver DigitalDeveloper: Croteam Platforms: PC, StadiaRating: 8/10

What we said: Serious Sam 4 is a delightfully old-school first-person shooter that doesn’t bring a ton of new stuff to the table but still hits all the right notes. Serious Sam 4 is a strong, polished, old-school shooter. The massive, open-air firefights are a fairly unique element to first-person shooters, and panicked kiting of hundreds of enemies is the name of the game.

Shantae and the Seven Sirens

Publisher: WayForwardDeveloper: WayForwardPlatforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, SwitchRating: 8/10

What we said: Shantae and the Seven Sirens is a welcome return of a now-classic platforming series. Shantae has been weaving her magic for nearly 20 years and still feels distinctive amidst the sea of other platformers. Her latest romp might not feel quite as fresh as Half-Genie Hero, but it’s still a worthwhile, highly entertaining adventure.

Spiritfarer

Publisher: Thunder Lotus GamesDeveloper: Thunder Lotus GamesPlatforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, StadiaRating: 10/10

What we said: Spiritfarer is a finely crafted piece of artistic commentary on what it means to let go, and it’s far and away one of the best games to come out of 2020.

Star Wars Squadrons

Publisher: Motive StudiosDeveloper: EAPlatforms: PC, PS4, Xbox OneRating: 9/10

What we said: Star Wars Squadrons is an instant classic and an ode to the space combat sims that came before it. Squadrons does a lot of things right. And it’s the closest thing to a new X-Wing or Tie Fighter we’re going to get. Though it’s a stand-alone game, it’s also a fantastic complement to Battlefront 2’s starfighter assault mode, giving aces new and old two very good options to choose from.

Stories Untold

Publisher: Devolver DigitalDeveloper: No CodePlatforms: SwitchRating: 9/10

What we said: Stories Untold is a boundlessly smart and stylish adventure game that both celebrates the past while changing the future. Stories Untold is a unique adventure game smothered in atmosphere. Switch players will have to contend with the port’s less-than-ideal UI, but provided they can get over that relatively small hump, the rest of the game is an unsettling, intelligent, fourth-wall-breaking success.

Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town

Publisher: NatsumeDeveloper: Marvelous InteractivePlatforms: PC, SwitchRating: 9/10

What we said: Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town might not re-invent the wheel, but it’s an excellent reminder why the formula the original helped create is so beloved and long-lasting.

Streets of Rage 4

Publisher: DotemuDeveloper: DotemuPlatforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, SwitchRating: 8/10

What we said: Streets of Rage 4 is a surprisingly decent return to form for a franchise that’s been collecting dust for over 25 years. It plays a bit of a trick on you if you’re a fan of this sort of game, where you fall into your old patterns almost immediately, but the game is built to smack you down if you do. Instead, it’s got a simple combat system with some real depth to it, and which only gets more fun as you add players in co-op.

Surgeon Simulator 2

Publisher: Bossa StudiosDeveloper: Bossa StudiosPlatforms: PCRating: 8/10

What we said: While some sequels fail to build upon the entries that came before them, turning into bloated, convoluted messes, Surgeon Simulator 2 reshapes the original idea into something entirely new.

Super Mario 3D All-Stars

Publisher: NintendoDeveloper: NintendoPlatforms: SwitchRating: 8/10

What we said: Little effort was put into modernizing Super Mario 3D All-Stars, and somehow, that’s still more than enough. Super Mario 3D All-Stars is a satisfying gift for the series’ 35th anniversary.

Super Mega Baseball 3

Publisher: Metalhead SoftwareDeveloper: Metalhead SoftwarePlatforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, SwitchRating: 9/10

What we said: Super Mega Baseball has never been given the accolades it’s deserved, but this is the year baseball fans will finally notice this all-star. Don’t let a lack of MLB licensing turn you away. This is a serious baseball sim in every way except for the silly naming conventions of its athletes.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel 4

Publisher: NIS AmericaDeveloper: Nihon FalcomPlatforms: PC, PS4, SwitchRating: 9/10

What we said: Trails of Cold Steel 4 brings the Cold Steel series to a spectacular conclusion with some of the best storytelling in the genre and improvements to every gameplay system.

The Last of Us 2

Publisher: Sony Interactive EntertainmentDeveloper: Naughty Dog Platforms: PS4Rating: 8/10

What we said: The Last of Us 2 is an emotional rollercoaster that doesn’t always hit the mark with what it tries to pull off. It does, however, provide enough amazing highs to outweigh its unfortunate lows.

What we said: The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners would be a great game even if it wasn’t in VR. Suffice it to say Saints & Sinners definitely suffers from some modern-day VR problems, but it’s still a great sign of the immersive and exciting things to come.

Vitamin Connection

Publisher: WayForwardDeveloper: WayForwardPlatforms: SwitchRating: 9/10

What we said: Vitamin Connection is one of the best games on Switch. It’s extremely fun, creative, and great with a friend. An easy pill to swallow. To bring this love-letter in disguise to a close: Vitamin Connection is a game that everybody should play.

Void Terrarium

Publisher: NIS AmericaDeveloper: Nippon Ichi SoftwarePlatforms: PS4, SwitchRating: 9/10

What we said: There’s a lot to love about Void Terrarium, with its touching story and unique approach to the mystery dungeon genre, even if does occasionally frustrate. Void Terrarium is special for how it balances challenge and accessibility to create its own unique identity, a balancing act many other games struggle with. If you’re new to the genre, it’s a great place to start.

Wasteland 3

Publisher: Deep SilverDeveloper: InXile EntertainmentPlatforms: PC, PS4, Xbox OneRating: 8/10

What we said: Wasteland 3 invokes feelings of classic RPGs such as Fallout and manages to nail the feel and tone perfectly in a modernized setting. While the game often falls into some of the genre’s more vexing traps, such as percentage damage idiosyncrasies and lackluster character models, it’s hard to deny its engaging power.

Watch Dogs: Legion

Publisher: UbisoftDeveloper: Ubisoft TorontoPlatforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, StadiaRating: 8/10

What we said: Watch Dogs: Legion throws out a decade of Ubisoft’s cluttered-map open worlds in favor of exciting systems that deliver unique emergent moments consistently. Watch Dogs: Legion drastically revises the Ubisoft open-world blueprint it has leaned on for over a decade.

Wintermoor Tactics Club

Publisher: Versus EvilDeveloper: EVCPlatforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, SwitchRating: 8/10

What we said: The indie strategy game Wintermoor Tactics Club is one of the better children’s books I’ve ever played. Kids will love it, but adults may find it too simple. Really, the highest recommendation I can make for Wintermoor Tactics Club is that it’s a funny, weirdly true-feeling interactive children’s book, with just enough tactical action to keep you interested throughout.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon

Publisher: SEGADeveloper: Ryo Ga Gotoku StudioPlatforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S Rating: 10/10

What we said: Yakuza: Like A Dragon isn’t just a great Yakuza title — it’s legitimately one of the best modern role-playing games there is. Yakuza: Like A Dragon is an uplifting and hopeful story told with heart, supported by satisfying RPG gameplay and a host of entertaining side-missions and minigames.

Zombie Army 4: Dead War

What we said: Ever wanted to dodge zombie sharks while on a quest to destroy the undead animated by evil wizard-Hitler? Well, it doesn’t get much better than Zombie Army 4. The game’s shooting mechanics, its level design, and its ranking system come together in a much more satisfying way [than the core Sniper Elite series].
