Yakuza: Like a Dragon

1. Yakuza: Like a Dragon

Ichiban won my heart, it's goofy in all the right ways but simultaneously has one of the best representations of being in the dregs of society. GB's Alex said this is a game that celebrates scumbags, I agree and can't wait to see what this studio does with these characters next.

Persona 5 Royal

2. Persona 5 Royal

Possibly the greatest JRPG of all time at this point. Royal's new additions managed to make what was already a masterpiece even better.

Final Fantasy VII Remake

3. Final Fantasy VII Remake

Fantastic modern interpretation of FF7, some bad story choices towards the end but if this is the gameplay direction final fantasy uses going forward that is very exciting.

Yakuza 0

4. Yakuza 0

Not released in 2020, but this was the year I got _way_ into the Yakuza series and it all started here. Amazing entry point.

Hades

5. Hades

I need to play more of this.

6. art of rally

Gameplay.

F1 2020

7. F1 2020

2020 is the year that I got into Formula 1, fortunately this coincided with one of the best releases of a f1 game in years. The "My Team" mode is great fun and I have spent many hours now lapping the worlds greatest circuits. I bought a damn wheel.

World of Warcraft: Shadowlands

8. World of Warcraft: Shadowlands

They made WoW good again! Funnily enough they did this by introducing many more mechanics which respect your time. Great art and world design, kept me captivated for a month or two.

Ghost of Tsushima

9. Ghost of Tsushima

The best open world game I've played this year, fantastic style and great swordplay.

Doom Eternal

10. Doom Eternal

Placeholder: may be usurped by KRZ. Great action shooter, verging on too many mechanics at this point though. It doesn't strike the correct balance quite like the 2016 Doom did but it's still great fun.
