Am I the only one who thinks that 2020 might be the absolute worse year in gaming? Absolutely no games, the ones who do come out are shit. The only good game I can think of that came this year is a Chinese gacha.

There wasn’t many although there were some good games but my favourite game was Star Wars Squadrons which seems like a near miracle that EA made a reasonably priced Star Wars game which has a fun (Although short) single player mode and popular multiplayer modes with extensive unlockable gameplay affecting ship modifications and cosmetics including updates related to the Mandalorian and a holiday one (With things like a life day orb you can hang in your republic ship cockpit) all of which are 100% free with 0 in game purchases available and then they added two more ships for free.

All I can assume is it’s an accident on EA’s part because they didn’t think it’d be popular so didn’t bother with monetisation, although I’d love for them to include more paid single player content.
 
Does anyone know any more video game music themed around being in Cyberspace ala The Lawnmower Man and System Shock?

whatever I feel like said:
Over the past week the three remaining longterm GameXplain contributors all quit (4th left a month ago). Though the truth is that channel died ages ago and has been a shambling shill-zombie since 2018 or so.

And now the GameXplain subreddit is in members only mode because someone made a post about the terrible "abusive" working environment at GX and apparantly GVG near-confirmed it in a recent video.

Hades and the Demon's souls remake were cool, otherwise yea.

Demon's remake isn't remotely cool. It's an abomination and everyone who played the original can see that.

I miss when Gears of war and Dark souls (I'll let demon off the hook for being too niche to reach that far) hadn't ruined action adventure games. Now you have a choice between slow walking segments where people talk at you or grindy boss fights with annoying timings added on top. I played through the full souls series as they released. By the time Bloodborne hit I wasn't interested in rolling and stabbing some more, the creative bosses and environments were lost and what remained wasn't satisfying. The reward for beating a tough boss wasn't worth the grind after doing it 100 or more times through out the series. Gears of war telling story in real time as you walk with your finger in your ear has now spread out to every genre, even open world games are less sand box and more cut scenes with collecathons in the middle. It's like game designers forgot people got annoyed with Half life's cut scenes and in those you could teleport a cactus around.

Is it really too much to ask for a game to get out my way and let me play it? A cut scene to start, a cut scene to end and a handful of 1-2 minute scenes spliced through out. Something like DMC1 would be very welcome about now.

If you like monster catchers try Monster sanctuary. 2D platformer with multiple pokemon battles for combat. It's got some good depth to it and left early access recently.

This game on Steam is using a re-done image of a character from the Evil Package episode of Courage the Cowardly Dog.
The header artwork was different on release and changed a little over a month ago.

ShadowRun on SNES is an overlooked classic. The story, music, and overall feel ready screamed cyberpunk.

Too bad the sequel literally teased at the end never came to be.

It has one of the most distinct vibes I've ever felt in a game, with just the perfect cyberpunk dystopian tone. Too bad it slows to a crawl halfway through the game when you have to grind in the caryards for a while.

There sort of was a spiritual successor by way of Shadowrun Returns, with Jake Armitage showing back up and helping you out. Never beat it, though, so I don't know if Kitsune shows up too. There's also a mod for Returns that's a remake of the SNES version, it's pretty good, though I wouldn't recommend it for a first-timer over the original because Returns is kinda bland anyway.
 
Deus Ex: Invisible War is what Cyberpunk 2077 should have been. If you add that and Human Revolution together, you’d get what CP2077 would try to do.
