Anyway. Games of 2020 not made by me for a very small group of people. I've been keeping a spreadsheet (natch) of everything I played this year. Here are the new (to me) games I ranked as A-minus or better. And then we'll do a GOTY top five at the end why not.
In vaguely chronological order of me playing them: Ring Fit Adventure Animal Crossing: New Horizons Gears Tactics Trials of Fire (Early Access)pic.twitter.com/XX210S4gzo
Quantum Break Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout Lair of the Clockwork God Post Voidpic.twitter.com/PhmTgsG1oJ
Jackbox Party Pack 7 Going Under Tetris Effect: Connected Hadespic.twitter.com/YzpHngpBna
That brings us right up to yesterday (yes I only properly got stuck into Hades in the past week, shutup). But there were five games missing from this chronology. My five top faves.
5. TEARDOWN I'm that person constantly asking 'whither the destructible environment games'. Teardown takes that to the next level and builds a new genre out of the rubble: a speedrun heist planning game.https://twitter.com/i/status/1321800227804819457 …
4. BUGSNAX Even better than the Kero Kero Bonito tune it inspired. Pokémon Snap-meets-immersive sim bug catching, with a story that goes to unexpected places, and some of the year's best characters. Also: BUNGER!pic.twitter.com/mspiU5U2XA
3. SPELUNKY 2 One of my all-time favourite games gets the sequel I never thought it needed. Expansive in a way I rarely find appealing but... if you ever find yourself in a Desert Island Games situation, this is the one to pick.pic.twitter.com/yBoz8jOv2p
2. DESPERADOS III Capable of pushing my brain to max and keeping it there for an hour at a time. Playing this feels like being right on the edge of a breakdown constantly and I love it.pic.twitter.com/mCY1uzEKKY
1. HALF-LIFE: ALYX Of course. No other game has defined my year like this. Partly that's stuff external to the game itself – my first cover feature, a work trip that feels unimaginable now – but Alyx would be sat at the top spot even without any of that.pic.twitter.com/0UcDyrCK9F
I mean, for a start, it's the punchline to ten years of "Half-Life 3 when?" And it delivers, with one of my favourite endings in all of videogames. (Something they're not famously good at.)
But mostly it's how those gunfights deliver on the childhood promise (as opposed to the disappointing reality) of Laser Quest and, more recently, of a Space Pirate Trainer demo when I first realised, oh, in VR you can shoot without looking. Cooooool.
Having initially resigned myself to 'ahh, I'll never get to play it', and then having played it, I keep finding myself tempted to drop a few hundos on a VR headset just so I can play it *again*.
