The best games of 2020

We have prepared a selection of the best games of 2020 to make it easier for you to get acquainted with recognized masterpieces and choose something for yourself.

Besides the obvious hits such as The Last of Us Part 2 and Doom Eternal, there are a number of projects that you might have missed.

If you value atmosphere and nice graphics, pay attention to Ghost of Tsushima. The game rightfully bears the title of one of the best. As a brave samurai, you will punish enemies in duels and pet foxes.

Hades turned out to be no less atmospheric. Even if you have never played roguelikes, the project may work. Stylized graphics, ancient Greece and great music will instantly make you fall in love.

There was also a place for the classics. Final Fantasy 7 Remake was a great gift for all Endgame fans. Unfortunately, this is only part of the story, but even so, the passage will not seem short to you.
