@hassun: I don't think so. With the exception of Among Us, which is just sort of a weird one, I believe everything on that list released in some capacity in 2020, be it a release on a new platform (ex. Death Stranding on PC) or a 1.0 release out of Early Access (ex. Factorio or Hades)
I'm actually designing an ASCII roguelike right now and this is a good reminder that I need to put some extra elbow grease into the usability side of things haha
The idea of literally any named characters from the original Mass Effect trilogy, let alone making Mass Effect Tentatively Calling It 4 tie back to the Mass Effect 3 story, makes a sort of bile well up from my stomach into my throat. I want abso-goddamn-lutely nothing from the plot, cast, or conflict of that trilogy to carry forward.
I think they were conceptually right with Andromeda, despite garbage execution: throw the entire Mass Effect trilogy into a box, put a big-ass lock on that box, and create a completely separate game based on the setting and themes of Mass Effect that only relates to the original games by way of the faint ripples emanating from the events of those games.
The idea that the game hypothetically follows both 3 and Andromeda gives me a bit of hope for that, as the only way that could be true is if that game took place hundreds of years in the future, which is enough time for almost every character to be in the ground and for the events of 3 to be history, not central plot elements. Start from scratch, while I want a game that comes after Mass Effect 3, absolutely 0% of me wants a sequel to Mass Effect 3.
