Underleveled 02/28/21 3:21:52 PM #2:	Even though I haven't played it, it's definitely Animal Crossing. I know dozens of people who bought a Switch just for that game last March/April and have put 500+ hours in. Among Us and Jackbox 7 definitely saw increased playerbases and hype due to quarantine but with less impact, and they certainly didn't sell PCs. The rest just happened to be released during the pandemic and would have gotten pretty much the same amount of attention regardless. My PERSONAL answer is Murder By Numbers, as that was what I was playing when everything started to go down, and I will never not associate it with that time. But the real answer is Animal Crossing. --- darkx Games beaten in 2021 - 16; Most recent - Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash <cite>Underleveled posted [p:951185847] in Which game...

On the same token Doom Eternal would be a good game to cross-examine since it was also a huge game for the time with a complete opposite tone.
