My favorite games that came out in 2020

Showing 1-10 of 10 items

Animal Crossing: New Horizons

1. Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Animal Crossing finally came back to consoles and New Horizons was everything I had wanted since the Wii U era. The new crafting system is a great addition to the series that gives you more to do on a daily basis.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2

2. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2

THPS 1 is a classic and this remake does it justice. Now we hopefully wait for a THPS 2 remake.

Microsoft Flight Simulator

3. Microsoft Flight Simulator

Being able to explore anywhere in the world with mostly accurate representations is pretty crazy. Thinking of a far off place and immediately going there to see the sights is where this game really shines.

Trackmania

4. Trackmania

Want a tight, modern version of Trackmania? This is it.

Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition

5. Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition

So close yet so far with this one. I really liked the starcraft-era feel of it but playing vs AI with another person is legitimately broken and it basically ruins the whole package for me.

Out of the Park Baseball 21

6. Out of the Park Baseball 21

Team management in sports video games has never been interesting to me until this game. I enjoyed what I played and learned a handful of new things about baseball player rotation.

Streets of Rage 4

7. Streets of Rage 4

Beat em ups aren't really my thing but I did enjoy most of what I played. The real pull was the absolutely gorgeous art style.

Minecraft Dungeons

8. Minecraft Dungeons

Good and simple Diablo-style game. Should eventually go back to see what was added since the base game felt a little flat. Some of the late game builds were fun.

Neon Abyss

9. Neon Abyss

Neon Abyss came close to being a good rogue-like but I just don't care for the genre and the ways in which you have to progress certain parts of the game detract from decent game play.

Fall Guys

10. Fall Guys

The individual parts of this game don't really work for me. The platforming controls and individual rounds aren't very good but getting to the top does have its charms.
