QOTW: What was the best computer game of 2020?

[Korrorra]

Not impressed with Cyberpunk 2077. Doom Eternal was lame as hell also. So my vote is for Godfall.

[Darkedge]

Half Life Alyx or SuperHOT Mind Control Delete for me

I've only been playing game pass games this year so no comment...

Star Citizen, although it might not apply because its not really a full game yet.

But no other game has that immersion. Bugs and all I still have more fun and awe there.

The game I spent most of my time on is ESO (Elder Scrolls Online). Very enjoyable and able to play with other members of the family even though we all live remote from each other. The only frustration is that it is very buggy and crashes a lot..

Hades.

I wish I could say the same for Cyberpunk or anything else, but nothing else had that "tied up in a bow" feeling of a perfect product that entices you to play more. Every aspect from the gameplay to the adaptive experience, the art, the music, the story, the voice acting is top notch. A lot of games start harder than they'll be later, or introduce a hidden scaling that makes ranking up pointless, but Hades has a few ways to cleverly switch things up and also a system that's completely out in the open and under the player's control. I had it on Early Access so I played it for over two years. Most years' big games, I barely want to play once.

The last game I really played was Just Cause 4. Recent games aren't that much fun to me. I like amazing graphics and physics, but I don't want it to feel too much like real life. With games getting more life like, all the death and murder are too depressing/horrifying, so either make shooters less real or make the purpose of the game more fun. That's just me, everyone else can enjoy their COD/counter strike or whatever, it's just not my style anymore. I'd play WoW but you can only do that for so many literal years of your life.

Baldur's Gate 3 but its not really a complete game yet. All the AAA games were rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishe this year, as they have been for the last few too.
I did finally buy a VR headset in the Quest 2 so I'm loving that. The last time I tried VR was the CV1 and that was a massive disappointment compared to this. Shooters are actually fun and not making me sick after 15 minutes.

Also, Cyberpunk is the biggest letdown ever. Crazy hype train but its as shallow as Outer Worlds and has even worse combat... I can't even be bothered to play any more

I'd play WoW but you can only do that for so many literal years of your life.

I did enjoy WoW Classic for a while, a fun trip down memory lane with all the rock hard levelling.

For me it's Deep Rock Galactic.

During lockdown been playing with a couple of long-time friends and we tend to prefer co-op games. Deep Rock is very good for this and is more interesting than a standard shooter with the exploration of the caverns, and a nice dose of comedy with the boss' messages.

Minecraft Dungeons was imo the best game in 2020. So much fun for diablo and minecraft fan (me) when get them to combined.

[Baffed]

For me personally it was SnowRunner. Ive never before played that kind of game so it was very refreshing and surprisingly held my attention for a long while. It gets even better playing coop with friends.
