Good to see Ori 2, but I'm always a bit sad it's not a contender for the top of these lists, since it's my favorite game of 2020 by a lot (Kentucky Route Zero is the worst game of 2020, incidentally).

Was No Man's Sky seriously this yearNo, it just got major updates this year. Their list allows anything to be eligible if it got major updates this year or saw increased cultural relevance this year (Among Us), which is imo the right way to do a GOTY list in the year 2020 because no video game is EVER released only once anymore ...

I honestly don't even really get the point of having rankings in lists like this, besides perhaps the top 10. When someone makes their own personal list, you can be sure they've played every game on it. Here, you're just getting a bunch of people together where no single person has played every game to the extent that they could fairly rank them, or probably even half of everything on the list at all. Save these kinds of things for podcasts where you can rant and rave and at least enjoy the discussion. Keep the written stuff unranked if it's done by groups, that way it serves the purpose of saying, "hey here are some great games" without delving into the weeds of being some definitive order.
my point is evidenced by DOOM Eternal being so far below freaking Fall Guys okay --- - Blur - Welcome to your Divinity. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I enjoyed Fall Guys very much when it first came out, it just wore out its welcome incredibly fast. The devs are making the right moves by adding more rotating elements into the games to give them a sense of freshness and surprise each time you play though. They just need to up the ante in that department big time and maybe it wouldn't be so stale.

I prefer these kinds of lists when it's just an aggregate of the staff's individual picks, this way feels too tailored and less natural. Cool to be made aware of some games I'd never heard of before though, like Umurangi Generation and The Solitaire Conspiracy.
And as always, best of the year lists should be left until January. --- Slowly becoming a Final Fantasy aficionado. Next up: FFVI Congrats to azuarc, Guru Champion 2020! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Solid top 5, and a great winner.
UshiromiyaEva posted... I remember a LOT of people being down on Doom Eternal. I also mostly heard negative things about the DLC. Honestly, Doom Eternal should have been higher, but I get this response. It has a really rough start, then gets a lot better from about the fifth level on. And given how long those first few levels are, I dont blame people at all for being down on it and perhaps dropping it long before. Also the story is a bit lame. However I should add that for some it was great from the start and they fell off in later levels, but I think that has to do with how fine you are with the Marauders. --- I just decided to change this sig.

After looking through that list, my first thought was, "Man, 2020 was a lousy year for gaming..."
I only own 6 games from that list and I am only interested in about 5 more. Although, I had never heard of Murder by Numbers before and that looks pretty interesting. --- Yay - azuarc is the guru champion of awesomeness. ... Copied to Clipboard!

good list. I'd put cold steel 4 on there but it definitely doesn't work as a stand alone game, which is a valid argument for keeping it off these lists I think.

Oh. I'm an idiot. I only remembered TLOU, Ghost, and Doom. I knew there was at least one more and I was like, eh, I'd recognize it if I saw it.
Obviously not. Especially since there were two. Still, the fact that TLOU2 barely cracked the top 20 is interesting. --- Video Game Music Contest 14 champion: Idola Phantasy Star Saga - Endeavour ... Copied to Clipboard!

I mean, the last post I made was just stating a fact. Playing KRZ episode 5 without playing the previous 4 is a bad idea, just like playing CS4 without playing CS1-3 is a bad idea. I liked the first couple episodes, but greatly disliked 3-5. I feel like I haven't heard many people talk about KRZ in general other than professional critics. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. ... Copied to Clipboard!

IIRC, Polygons review was pretty meh on TLOU2, so top 20 is pretty good comparatively. Its probably a compromise position between those who liked it and didnt.

KRZ TV Edition specifically was a compilation, though, so it isn't quite the same. I think it's how most people ended up experiencing it, too.
