I forget which games were released in 2020 but this doesn't seem like a bad list actually

But this does seem like a clear insult to Cyberpunk 2077...

I don't think it's wrong to include it in this list tbh

Literally nobody cared about it before last summer.

No that makes no sense at all. If everyone suddenly started playing P.N.03 that wouldn't make it a best game of 2020.

Yeah, but the vast majority of people that play video games have either never heard of it or are only vaguely aware of its existence given the sheer number of people that mostly play yearly sports games and yearly shooters.

Its both, really. Its all the fun that SM PS4 was, but less on content, but there's plenty of newish stuff that's pretty great. Other than that, its kind of more of the same. Miles' rogues gallery is way less interesting that Peter's though.

Morales is kind of the Batman Arkham Origins compared to SM's Arkham City. Its not bad by any means, it just doesn't feel like a real sequel? Morales is way better than Arkham Origins though.

Although I think its only there since its the only next gen launch title anyone really has a reason to care about.

I find it interesting Persona 5 Royal literally has the highest metacritic rating of the year (2 points over Oscar bait the Last of Us 2) , yet it is on no GOTY lists.

it's mostly seen as a re-release with some additions, I guess.

idk how TLoU2 is "Oscar bait", though.

I wouldn't call the TLoU2 a bad game, but it seems like it was tailor made to garner high praise from critics (a focus on a cinematic experience and controversial story choices that sometimes feel like they were made to piss off fans of the first game)

it was just building from the same tone, world, subject matter, etc. that the first one laid the foundation for, but focused on different themes to highlight

honestly I wouldn't be at all surprised if the game was designed to be as "controversial" as possible to get more attention. Arguments over if the game was any good likely provided a ton of free advertising.

I liked Miles Morales but yeah it's very much more Spider-man in a standalone expansion sort of way.
