About LinkBacksI've not had chance to play much this year but I'd say deep rock galactic and Hades have had the most recommendations from friends.
Having played transistor and bastion by supergiant games, I think I'll pick up Hades at some point.

Their aggressively backwards DRM turned me off it entirely, I won't engage with that attitude.Originally Posted by zugged2
On the positive side: Crusader Kings is amazing, really incredible depth and flexibility to it; really requires the player to accept some kind of... randomness? Bad luck? Willingness to let the game systems play out for better and worse, and enjoying the stories it generates.
F1 2020 is probably the game I've played most and I couldn't justify it, that game is misery. Doom Eternal just feels like more Doom 2016 and I was pretty bored of the grinding repetition of that by the end of it. Cyberpunk looks like a hot mess, Spelunky 2 is a worse version of a great game, and anything else I can't even remember.
I'd bet that Control DLC is great, given the exceptional original game, but I haven't gotten to it yet.
According to my playtime on Steam, Destiny 2 has taken most of my gaming up.
I've yet to launch Cyberpunk, waiting until I've got enough spare time to actually invest more than an hour here or there to see if I like it. Which tends to be my issue with most games, the first hour either piques my interest or I put it down and rarely go back into it.
gotta say it- half-life alyx hands down as far as i`m concerned, tried some of the very disappointing remasters- which were far from masterful- and have found nothing really compelling otherwise, sadly.
Dunno' never play em!
Hades is my favourite.
As per a lot of the comments above, didn’t find 2020 to be the greatest year for new games. Most of my PC gaming time was invested in Ace Combat 7, Flight Sim 2020, Forza Horizon 4, Call of Duty - alongside shorter stints with C&C remastered, Control, Witcher 3, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag, Unreal Tournament, Gears of War 5 (Campaign replay).
Beyond the PC, I’ve been really impressed with the Quest 2 headset, where alongside all the popular quick-fix games everybody plays (Beat Sabre, Pistol Whip, Star Wars: Vader Immortal, RoboRecall, etc), there’s some real Indy gems like “In Death: Unchained” which has become one of my favourite adrenaline rush experiences - and it’s seen some great & frequent updates that have put AAA games houses to shame. The game’s archery/adventure premise is simple, but each session is rewarding and intense with plenty of options to mix up the control scheme if you prefer smooth locomotion over teleportation to get around the procedurally generated levels.
Half Life Alyx.
Just wish I had a bigger room to play it in. Thumped the wall a couple of times
With my flavor, to my knowledge no interesting game was launched in 2020.
Satisfactory early access.
and probably the cyberpunk 2077 - probably because unfortunately I have no time for playing games and wont check it until next year. I was anticipating the game therefore it lands as my second choice
If we are talking about games that have had some cultural impact, surely 'Among Us' ?
Out of the games that released this year I would say Mafia definitive edition deserves some attention as I had a lot of fun with that game, great story, the game mechanics such as shooting and driving are tight enough, graphics are beautiful, it did feel a bit short as a linear story game and also on the flip side it could have benefited from having more to do in the open world, but it was still a great experience overall.
Now what I really want to say is CyberPunk 2077 - it is my new favourite game right now, but it is early days and there is still a lot of dev work to be done to it for me to be able to officially declare it best game, maybe next year...
I'm trying to remember if I even bought any games this year. FS2020 and Cyberpunk are going to become great games I'm sure, but they're not yet (or I don't have the hardware yet). The only other game is Ori and the Will of the Wisps, which I can run, I just haven't bothered to buy it yet, that's the closest I can get!
I can understand the love for FS2020 and Cyberpunk, but there were some other new niche releases this year that were excellent. The one game I spent the most time on was Snowrunner. The environment, driving physics and vehicles are top notch. It's bit of a grind to make progress, but it's a very relaxing game to play. Automobilista 2 and the GT4 pack for ACC were both excellent.
Star Wars Squadrons, and even though I haven't bought it yet - Command and Conquer Remastered looks like an awesome blast from the past.
My time at Portia. fun, beautiful and positive to play.
