13 Sentinels I'll say this: 13 Sentinels got much closer to the cutoff than I thought it would (though it would have had to go through Spelunky 2 and Spiritfarer, both worthy entries)! I'm excited to get to that one if only because I heard the story was good. --- I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh azuarc ... Copied to Clipboard!

If this were the case Dreams should be here over FF7 (assuming you're using Opencritic)! I call this poll rigged! Like I said, early access games addressed on a case by case basis! Haha, a loophole! To be completely honest, I probably wouldnt have allowed Hades if it A) hadnt only launched as a complete game on Switch, and B) wasnt the best reviewed game of the year winning a bunch of awards. Its hard to judge when an early access game should be counted. But man, imagine if I pushed off FFVIIR for Dreams, I would never hear the end of it. I didnt have FFXV on here in 2016 (a decision I completely stand by) and got so much complaining when that game wasnt even close to the line. At least FFVIIR deserves to be on the list! --- I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh azuarc ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's not like Dreams was reviewed in 2019! Lol I know FF7 is the obvious GOTY around here, it's just funny that it's technically 19th on the Opencritic 2020 rankings and you made it move all the way up to 9th to fit it in here. If F1 2020 had scored a tiny bit better I wonder how you would've justified excluding that!

Of the choices given, Hades. My ranking topic put it at #3 behind an older game and Genshin Impact (which is not a game for everyone due to the gacha elements.)

It's 7 remake and it's not particularly close for me. I can't think of a more hyped game that delivers as well as it does. Amazing battle system, graphics and music. Questionable story/ending but let's see how it develops before we crap on it.
Persona 5 Royal comes second. The QOL improvements and added dungeon/confidants are amazing. Maybe technically a better game than 7 remake, but I don't want to give GOTY to an updated version of a three-year old game.. Third place is Cold Steel IV for being the conclusion to a massively impressive feat of storytelling across a number of titles, even if it's technically worse than the ones that came before it (aka the Return of the King award). Fourth is 13 sentinels, which I'm currently playing. I'm 31% story completion and I'm kind of wishing the story was just told in order. **** is so confusing. Good though! I guess if it was told in a semi-chronological fashion it would be boring but damn it makes my head hurt. I surprisingly like the battles too, though they seem pretty simple so far (44% completion on battles). Fifth is Hades. I didn't like it enough to continue beating it to continue the story, but it was pretty fun. --- while you slept, the world changed ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's kinda dumb how OpenCritic combines reviews for all consoles. Having the console and PC reviews for Cyberpunk together helps neither console players nor PC players. Metacritic does it way better here.

Agreed (though they do at least have a disclaimer for Cyberpunk), it's gonna be a problem with a lot of cross-gen stuff coming the next couple years too.

FWIW Opencritic itself removes most of those from the top 12 on the homepage. FFVIIR only just fell off in the last day or two because of Until You Fall, which only has 7 reviews. Legends of Runeterra only has 10 reviews, and Demons Souls is a 1:1 remake (odd that they allowed it but not Xenoblade, which has much more new content).

Metacritic does it way better here. I greatly prefer how OpenCritic does it; it really bothers me how much variance there is between Metacritic listings for the same game, with Cyberpunk being one of the rare exceptions where there's a massive difference. Unless that issue exists, most of the difference on metacritic stems from an arbitrary divide when the reviews would likely be the same for any of the consoles. Something in the middle would be nice, only splitting pages when it becomes apparent. --- My top 100 games (with write-ups): https://foolfantastic.com/top-100-video-games-project/ ...

Just to give some context for people with different definitions who might consider those games as this year. It is weird what counts as a new game and what doesn't, the lines seem pretty blurred. They did have Demon's Souls off the list for a while when it came out then I guess decided to include it. Cyberpunk, which was in the top 10 on release day, is now down to 94th with an 82 average (and dropping!). Wonder how low it will end up. --- Slowly becoming a Final Fantasy aficionado.

I guess Genshin Impact. Its surprisingly fun for a gacha, decently implemented world and exploration but tbh the main reason its my favorite is Im not sure I actually played any other new this year games so one that was at least good tops it by default.
