Games of the Year
Action game of the year: Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales / Assassins Creed: Odyssey
To pair perfectly with the PS5, Spider-Man: Miles Morales provides some of the best graphics and gameplay available. The PlayStation-exclusive title offers all the web-shooting, crime-fighting action you’d expect with a great storyline.
On all other platforms, Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey makes for a great holiday season adventure. Starting 2,400 years before the Peloponnesian war, players start in the battle between Athens and Sparta. With over 60 hours of sailing, horse-riding, and slicing through your enemies, this is one of the best titles from the Assassin’s Creed series.
Sorry Cyberpunk 2077, we all thought you were going to win this one.
Sports game of the year: NBA 2K20
NBA 2K20 is one of the best looking, most intuitive, and most stable sports games available. With one of the fastest revamps for next-generation consoles, the game developers at 2K have shown their passion for putting effort into a visual stunning game that makes it difficult to tell real NBA basketball apart from a simulation.
Best of the Indie Games: Alba: A Wildlife Adventure
If you’re looking for a heartwarming story with a stunning art style, Alba: A Wildlife Adventure is a feel-good story about the importance of nature conservation. Players take the role of Alba Singh, a child who is passionate about wildlife and wants to get a wildlife conservancy in Spain cleaned up so that wildlife can return. The game is available on PC and on all Apple devices via Apple Arcade. It will launch on Nintendo Switch next year.
