6 Best Game Releases Of 2020

2020 might not have been a great year in general, but it has definitely been one of the greatest years ever in the history of gaming.

Not only have we got some absolutely amazing new video games this year, but we’ve also got to see the release of the new consoles, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.

There has been a very large variety of amazing games this year, and it’s very difficult to make a choice between them. Now that 2020 is coming to an end, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best game releases of the year 2020, in no particular order.

Best Game Releases Of The Year 2020:

1. Spider-Man: Miles Morales

Up first is one of the more recent games that were released.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a PlayStation exclusive that has gotten very positive reviews from both critics and the general public alike, and it must be said that these positive reviews are well-deserved.

As the name suggests, the game follows the journey of Miles Morales instead of Peter Parker himself. It has lots of the great mechanics and the amazingly fun web-slinging from Spider-Man PS4, while also having lots of new great additions that make it feel fresh.

The story is touching, the visuals are amazing, and the characters are all very well written. All in all, Spider-Man: Miles Morales is definitely a game worth trying out, and is definitely one of the best that 2020 had to offer.

2. DOOM: Eternal

Undeniably one of the greatest first-person shooters of all time, there’s no surprise that DOOM: Eternal finds its name on yet another best of 2020 list.

The game obviously has a lot of action which the DOOM franchise is highly famed for. But what’s unique about DOOM: Eternal is that it has a very interesting and fun story line behind it as well, something which a majority of other games in the series lack. This story is filled with awesome reveals about the history of DOOM, lots of lore for the fans of the franchise to learn about, and just some pretty amazing moments with the Doom Slayer.

DOOM: Eternal also has one of the best soundtracks that you’ll find in this year or any other, as composer Mick Gordon has done an amazing job yet again, just like he did with DOOM 2016.

3. The Last of Us: Part 2

No matter what you have to say about the story of The Last of Us: Part 2, there’s no denying that the game is great in almost every other aspect.

The graphics are absolutely breathtaking, the music is brilliant, the characters and all of their journeys are highly emotional, and the game play, specifically the gun play, is very enjoyable and brutal.

The performances of all those involved in the motion capturing and voice acting were amazing too, and they all brought their characters to life brilliantly. There’s definitely a lot of controversy surrounding the game, but it has to be said that The Last of Us: Part 2 is one of the best games that was released in 2020.

4. Hades

Hades is a game that a lot of people haven’t heard about, but it is still one of the best-reviewed games of 2020 despite that.

While the game has been in early access for a long time, it was officially released in 2020 and is a strong contender for anyone’s game of the year. The brilliant rogue-like game provides players with brilliant hack and slasher game play and a huge cast of amazing, lovable characters.

Hades is based on the son of Hades, Zagreus himself. Zagreus has had enough of the underworld and intends to leave, but his father is not a fan of the idea at all and tries to stop him.

You take control of Zagreus and go on a challenging adventure while being aided by Olympian gods like Zeus, Poseidon, Aphrodite, Dionysus, and many more.

There’s a lot of replayability in Hades and a huge story line.

The game is overall a surprising experience.

5. Half Life: Alyx

Undoubtedly the best VR game to be released this year and arguably the best to be released on the platform ever, Half-Life: Alyx is solid proof that Virtual Reality is capable of being the future of gaming.

The game is a well awaited new addition to the extremely popular Half-Life franchise and is exclusive for Virtual Reality. It is set between the time gap of Half-Life: 1 and Half-Life: 2, and is all about the fight against an alien race referred to as the Combine.

It is a brilliant utilization of the technology of Virtual Reality and is certainly one of the best and most impressive gaming experiences of 2020.

6. Ghost of Tsushima

The final addition to this list is Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Tsushima. This is a game that everyone had seriously high hopes for, and somehow is still surprised most players by how great it is.

Ghost of Tsushima follows the highly emotional journey of Jin Sakai, who must make an important decision between his morals and his home. It is set during the 13^th century, back when the Mongols attacked the island of Tsushima in real life. The game has some absolutely amazing visuals for players thanks to its breathtaking art direction.

Every area in the game is vibrant and filled with natural beauty, and there is certainly never a boring moment with all the Mongols terrorizing Tsushima.

You’ll be taking control of Jin and liberating the island while contemplating your own choices while being treated to some great landscapes and a beautiful soundtrack.

Like all the other games mentioned so far, Ghost of Tsushima is certainly an amazing game that is worthy of being called one of the best games to be released this year.
