Best of 2020
Some terrific games came out this year, along with a new, also terrific, console.
And guess what I still played a lot of in 2020? Fortnite! Both Save the World and Battle Royale still. My interest did wane a bit though as I stopped making weekly videos in late August and barely played any of Season 4, which, to me, was ruined by the Marvel crossover and super powers. I picked it up in Season 5, which saw a return to form.
Regrets and Honorable Mentions:
Regrettably Not Played:
- 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim - This seem like it had the right amount of buzz and weirdness and would've probably been on my list if I had prioritized it over other games, which I probably should have.
- Carto - I love puzzle games. I should have played this.
- Half-Life: Alyx - I'll be honest, I was never going to play this. I simply can't justify buying a VR headset because it's hard enough isolating myself with just headphones in a house with a wife and kids. Maybe one day.
Honorable Mention:
- Astro's Playroom - I had a total blast going through PlayStation's history and experiencing the PS5's features. It would've ranked if I were a bigger fan of 3D platformers.
- Black Mesa - Just the excuse I needed to play Half-Life again.
-
Remnant: From the Ashes - It didn't come out this year, but did come to Epic's platform and was free. It's an absolute banger and would've made my list last year.
