Little Nigthmares 2 had a potential to a fantastic experience on par with such classics as Limbo or Inside. Although its world’s design is absolutely fantastic and action keeps you on your seat’s edge, the game lacks quite a bit in the gameplay department, especially when it comes to the camera perspective.

Olija is a proof that love stories do not need dialogue. It is quite impressive how well this game shows characters’ emotions in spite of its stylistic choices. It is also a rather fun, albeit not too challenging, slasher with some fantastic boss fights.

The Medium stays close to Bloober Team’s roots, strongly resembling a walking sim rather than a survival horror. Nonethelles, The Medium feels like a spiritual successor to Silent Hill with its eerie atmosphere of an abandoned hotel near Cracow, and visual ripped straight from Zdzisław Beksiński’s paintings. For the Polish players, it will also take them on a nostalgic trip to 1990’s Poland.

This is by far one of the best, if not the best visual novel I have played in my gaming career. Meaningful choices, engaging story, beautiful artwork supported by atmospheric music – it all makes Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Heart of the Forest a fantastic game. It is such a shame it is such a short experience, but thanks to its impressive replayability, its shortness does not hurt as much.

CD Projekt RED did something incredible. They managed to create the game that you wholeheartedly wish to keep playing in spite of all the bugs, broken mechanics and bland gameplay. Cyberpunk 2077 was saved by its narration. Night City feels alive thanks to its breathtaking design, well-developed characters and multi-layered quests. Although it is not the messiah that we were promised, it still is a good game.

Gunfire Games decided to rework their pre-Remnant VR game to work without VR goggles and mark it as a Remnant’s prequel, giving us Chronos: Before the Ashes – quite a unique souls-like title. Dark Souls veterans will find it rather unappealing due to its low difficulty level and lack of playstyle variety. However, for the very same reason Chronos is a perfect game for those who always thought souls-likes might be fun but were driven away by their ‘only for hardcores’ label.

For every absolutely fantastic game DONTOND Entertainment gives us, we receive another one which unfortunately is not as good. Although Twin Mirror is not utterly bad and it offers a couple if interesting ideas, it also feels rushed and unpolished. Especially in the narration department as the story fails to grasp the player’s attention, boring them with rather dull dialogues between underdeveloped characters.

That must be a single most unique game released this year. Absolutely beautiful film noir visuals and cliches mix here with Bojack Horseman-ish aesthetics mix, resulting in a fantastic game set in a fascinating world run by anthropomorphic animals.

Remothered: Broken Porcelain is a terrible mess of a game. Boring gameplay, mediocre graphics, horrific sound mixing and unnecessarily convoluted plot make Broken Porcelain one of the worst games I played this year.

I really wanted to love this game as much as I loved the original Bomber Crew. Sadly, it was not meant to be. At first glance, Space Crew seems to be more of the same, but just after a couple of hours it becomes apparent most of Bomber Crew’s charm is missing, leaving the player with repetitive combat and tons of grind, resulting in a quite monotonous gameplay.

Aquanox: Deep Descent invites the players to enter one of the most fascinating postapocalyptic worlds in gaming history. Sure, Fallouts and Wastelands are fine, but Earth covered with water? That’s simply better! Sadly, the rest of the game is as good as the setting. Submarine combat is quite fun, but between the fights the player has to swim through same-looking underwater caves, performing repetitive tasks and interact with boring characters. Still, it is worth playing solely for the eerie atmosphere of the ocean.

Tell Me Why tells one of the most mature stories in gaming. It touches on the topics of domestic violence and transgenderism in an incredibly tactful way, creating a world where no character is morally black or white. Unlike in most of Dontnod’s games, there’s almost no fantastical elements to the game, making the story and gameplay surprisingly grounded in reality. Don’t expect much action here, Tell Me Why focuses on its character. The most action-packed moments were a plushie fight and a fishing minigame.

Moero Crystal H would be a decent, but pretty forgettable due to its uninteresting story, dungeon crawler. The thing is… The protagonist of this game is a straight up sexual predator if I have ever seen one. It is quite baffling to me how a game in which the game loop is collecting monster-girls by destroying their clothes and assaulting them was released under the current political climate. I am all for the unrestricted artistic freedom, but Moero Crystal H left a bad taste in my mouth.

The most beautiful rally game I have ever played. It not only looks wonderful; it also plays just as good. Under all these fantastic graphics, there is a surprisingly competent rally game offering the play many hours of fun. It might be one of the best car games of 2020.

I never played a nomadic strategy game. More than that, I never even heard of anything like this. As Far As The Eye really is a one-of-a-kind game requiring the player to carefully plan their path, remembering about creating food chains and not staying too long in the same spot unless they want to be flooded and killed in the process. It takes some time to grasp the mechanics, but after that it offers a lot of satisfaction.

The quickest way to summarize Shadows of New York is to say that it is a castrated version of VoTM: Coteries of New York, missing most of its mechanics and quirks. It really is baffling to me as all of the original’s mechanics would make a perfect sense in context of a detective story, allowing the players to fully emerge in VoTM world. We we’ve got, however, is just a shadow of the original. A visually and audibly fantastic one with an okay story, but still it is not what I hoped to get.

There are remakes, remaster and ‘remasters’. Unfortunately, Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning belong to the third category as it does absolutely nothing to improve the original in any visible way. It is basically the same game as the one released in 2012, meaning generic setting, affluence of painfully boring dialogues, and repetitive combat with enemies who do not pose any threat for the player.

Graphical glitches, empty open-world and tedious corridors full of annoying enemies. If you can get through all this, No Straight Roads will offer you an incredibly addictive gameplay mixing a slasher with a rhythm game. Great music, fantastic boss battles, and surprisingly deep plot. This is what you will remember about this game in the future.

This must be one of the cutest dating sims ever created. Please, tell me that dating mixed with taking care of a freshly adopted pup does not sound lovely? It does, right? Well, the problem here is that none of these two parts of the gameplay are done particularly well. Dating is dumbed down to the point of being completely mindless and when it comes to our good boi, it is far too easy to keep all his stats maxed out. Best Friend Forever is a perfect case of wasted potential.

Without a doubt Tell Me Why tells one of the most mature stories in gaming. It touches on the topics of domestic violence and transgenderism in an incredibly tactful way, creating a world where no character is morally black or white. A fantastic story is, however, undermined by a painfully monotonous and repetitive gameplay. Nonetheless, it might improve in this regard over the course of the next two episodes.
