These are games I played in 2020 that came out before 2020. I can't play everything I want to play in a given year, and my backlog is too big.

This game was a ton of fun, and my final play time was under 3 hours. It was basically the perfect length. There are a couple trophies I want to clean up, but doubt I'm going to go for the platinum.
Wow. This game had me on edge. It's not particularly long, but man, I just couldn't play it in chunks out of concern. I got what I am pretty sure is a really good ending and shed a tear out of not having to worry any more. Really impactful.
This game is fantastic. I wanted to play it based on hearing two things: it's kind of like The Last of Us and there are tons and tons of rats. Turns out, this game takes all sorts of turns! It starts out like a Last of Us style game. Then, it sort of becomes a puzzle game as you are trying to figure out how to get past many, many rats. Then, it wraps up as a third person action game. My understanding is that this is Asobo's first real game that isn't a port or board game adaptation and I cannot wait to see their follow up.
To start, I'm a big fan of Greek mythology. I got burnt out on AC after AC3. I really enjoyed this game. The setting was fantastic. The world was wonderful. A lot of the abilities were fun. Like a lot of people have said Kassandra was fantastic and Alexios is really meh. Turns out, this is because Kassandra was supposed to be the only playable character. I look at the cover box artwork and think, "Wow. It would be so much cooler if that was Kassandra, Alexios sucks." So glad I played as Kassandra. I really liked that for the most part, I could set a point and tell my horse to go there. I wish I could have done that with boats. Boats aren't for me, and feel so slow some times. I cannot review them impartially. I got the season pass on sale recently, so I plan to do the Atlantis stuff at some point, but supposedly it's another 20 hours!
Specifically, the Switch version. Playing Funky mode with my wife as Funky Kong, allowed us to finish this game. We had played through DKC Returns on Wii around 2010/2011. We got DKC:TF when it came out on WiiU and got to the fifth island or so and it became to much for us. Funky Mode was a blessing, especially because my wife likes to get EVERYTHING. This allowed us to do the challenge levels in each world and beat the game together.
It's like Ninja Gaiden made a little easier! I remember playing NG1-3 on NES and they were HARD. Fun, but I'm not sure I finished any of them. This starts with an NG style, but makes it not so frustrating. Through in some Metroidvania aspects as well as a cool take on the Dark Souls style death penalty and you get a great game. I don't think there are any critical path points that require very difficult platforming (especially if you remember to use a certain tool you get, unlike me who forgot until basically the end of the game). Some of the collectibles require some precision timing and platforming, but the reward for them isn't necessary or OP.l
Fantastic story. Loved the season. I think this was Telltale's best work (unless the final season is even better).
Technically, I played the remaster, but it was great! I love this series and the quirkiness of it. Also, there was a substory about a transgender woman that characters were totally accepting of. This game is from 2009, and boy I feel like that was ahead of its time.
Lots of fun, didn't have any issues on a launch PS4. Played it on easiest difficulty, because the load times were so long when I died. This made the game way more fun.
Played through the co-op campaign with my wife. It was quite fun.
