Top 10 Favorite Games of 2020

#5. The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV



The 9th game overall in the series and the Endgame of this MCU style saga we've been following for 15 years. So many plot threads from Sky, Crossbell and Cold Steel all come to a head here and it really feels like a Smash Ultimate style EVERYONE IS HERE type of game. There's nearly 40 playable characters over the course of the story and what a story it is. I won't get into the details because people should play Trails games for themselves, but most Trails games are maybe 80ish hours to beat and 100-120 to complete, but for me this one was 120 hours just to beat on its own and 140-150 hours to complete it. Despite that I'm 100% ready to just start playing Hajimari no Kiseki as soon as it gets localized. I did order a used copy from Japan just to mess around with, but because of the pandemic it's still not here over 2 months later.

The only gripe, but an understandable one, is that the focus is still on the new Class VII. They are the main characters of Cold Steel 3 and 4 and they're a great cast as a unit, better than original Class VII was at least. All of the older characters pretty much just rotate in and out of the party so you don't really get to spend a ton of time with them so if anyone thought they were gonna play through the whole game as Estelle or the SSS they'll be a bit disappointed in that regard.
