I might be forgetting something, but I think my top 2020 games would be
- Disaster Report 4 - I still think about this game a lot. It’s kind of a mess but it’s great.
- Dreams - I don’t know that I will ever create anything real with this, but it’s a lot of fun to play with the editor and see what others have made.
- Carrion - Met expectations without exceeding them. Just an enjoyable thing to play around in.
A couple honorable mentions:
- Amnesia Rebirth - Sure, it’s no SOMA. But will they ever top SOMA?
- The Pedestrian - The next evolution of Continuity, with music that isn’t quite as catchy.
These might or might not belong in this list due to release date technicalities:
- Factorio - Has been available for ages, but now officially released.
- Golden Light - A complete game, but not yet officially released.
Still in the middle of or planning to try these ones:
- 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim
- Creeper World 4
- Deadly Premonition 2
- FF7 Remake
- G-String
- Ikenfell
- Superliminal
- Telling Lies
