This one really didn't grab me. Great productin values, I just didn't feel any sense of agency. The binaural sound and compelling sense of Senua's mental illness couldn't make up for what felt like, at its core, a game of Walking in a straight line and flat combat.
-
Best Star Wars game since Knights of the Old Republic. Roll on the sequel!
-
Luigi shines in the best game in the series so far. Filled with so many delightful little touches of humour and inventiveness.
-
This time on Switch! A game design masterclass.
-
Dug up the old 3DS to play this for the first time. Man, oh, man, the 8 bit goodness!
-
A classic brought to glittering life in the modern era.
-
Well, talk about a modern classic. What a game!
-
Bought this one sale on to play while social distancing. Turns out what I always pegged for Odyssey's lesser sibling is actually the best Assassin's Creed ever? The world! The characters! Even the story isn't half bad.
-
And the Game of the Year is...
-
An interesting premise but failed to grab me.
-
No wait, the Game of the Year is...my favourite game from when I was 15?
-
-
War of the Chosen.
-
A fun 45 minutes.
-
What to do in a game-deprived pandemic? Play a 7 year old MMO for the first time! And find out it's secretly the best Final Fantasy game in 20 years?
-
No one can top Naughty Dog's attention to detail and performance capture. Too bad it's married to such a depressing and brutal world. I really didn't need to immerse myself in a dystopia that's actually *worse* than our current one in 2020.

Isle of Armor DLC
-
One of the year's best, and certainly the biggest surprise of the year so far.
-
And a sweet hike it was.
-
Derek Yu described this as the Super Mario World to Spelunky HD's Super Mario Bros. And it fits - so many more secrets, and also just as brutally unforgiving. One day I'll make it past World 2.
-
Supergiant's best yet.
