It’s safe to say that The Last of Us Part 2 is riding a wave of expectations. Naughty Dog faces a very difficult task, as it not only has to make an entertaining game but also continues one of the greatest stories ever told in gaming form, according to Game.co.

The sequel picks up several years after Joel and Ellie’s escape from the Firefly facility. While Ellie is safe and living within the walls of a thriving community, all is not right with the world, which is still overrun by monsters and enemy settlements. Early on in the story, Ellie will be forced to leave the relative safety of her settlement in Wyoming to face new dangers and a brand new adventure. Everything we’ve seen of The Last of Us Part 2 thus far suggests that it’s going to be a brilliant and worthwhile game in its own right.

4. Half-Life: Alyx

Virtual Reality is fun, but it’s expensive and, for years, lacked a game that showed off its potential. Leave it to Valve, the developers behind the Steam platform and the genre-defining Half-Life, to develop a video game that could move virtual reality headsets. Half-Life: Alyx isn’t Half-Life 3, but it’s pretty close. It’s a first-person shooter where players have to take cover, aim like it’s real life, and learn to reload their weapon fast.

5. Ori and the Will of the Wisps

7. Demon's Souls

Platform: PlayStation 5

November 12, 2020

A game that started an entire subgenre of video games—and an overused delineation for difficulty—Demon's Souls was fully remade this year as a launch title for the PS5, and it could not have turned out better. Led by Bluepoint Studios, who remade "Shadow of the Colossus" back in 2018, this rebuild of the 2009 PS3 title seamlessly shows off just how much the PS5 can do. The textures, gameplay, lighting, and combat are the quintessential Souls experience while still feeling nothing like what I’ve ever experienced before from this caliber of game. The demons and landscapes come to life in immense and remarkable detail, and everything from magic to armor has a unique glow or shine to it that’s just plain beautiful. Demon's Souls is a hard game, that's for sure, the darkest soul of Dark Souls, but with servers back up to summon blue phantoms for help, plus years and years of online guides, it's more than manageable. This game is just too damn good for any PS5 owner to forgo playing for fear of intimidation.

8. Animal Crossing: New Horizons

At this point, your island might be long forgotten, blanketed by a musty coat of weeds, weeping villagers everywhere, as your copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizonssits untouched. Which… is okay, even if Henry the Frog and his sweet Virgo heart won’t ever recover from your absence. Just remember, please: Those cute animals were there for you during the early pandemic! Animal Crossing: New Horizonsblew up the scope of its predecessors, providing comfort to a whole damn planet in crisis. So, just know: When Tom Nook yelled at you and took your money, he really meant to take your mind away for a bit. Thank him. Thank him, Tommy, Timmy, and every fluffed creature in your pocket world for us all.

Paradox Development Studio brings you the sequel to one of the most popular strategy games ever made. Crusader Kings III is the heir to a long legacy of historical grand strategy experiences and arrives with a host of new ways to ensure the success of your royal house.

10. Ghost of Tsushima

Platform: PS4, PS5

July 17, 2020

Ghost of Tsushima blends stunning and non-exhausting open-world adventuring, intensely thoughtful combat, gorgeous landscapes, and an in-depth story, peppered with homages to classic samurai cinema. Ghost of Tsushima demonstrates precise action-RPG combat, where timely dodges and blocking are crucial, then blends it with so many different (and challenging) playstyles. Are you going to be Jin, sticking to the samurai code and facing your enemies head-on, crowd-controlling larger groups? Or are you going to work as a ghost, emphasizing stealth? The best part is you can, and should, do both. These extremely polished combat styles are mixed with a metric ton of tools and abilities and know that there’s online multiplayer, which is out of this world (especially for a free update), it's amazing to see just how differently everyone plays this game—and how any strategy, after being refined, seems to work. A title with a combat system so deep that it can support never-ending options for tackling any given obstacle deserves a massive amount of respect.
