It’s already a high-stakes game, so the inclusion of new enemies, invincible bosses, unlockable hacks and abilities, plus the ever-changing, procedurally generated world of each “node”, delivers nothing short of an endless experience, even if you “complete” the main story mode. With 100 levels to explore, it’s amazing in short bursts, but regularly hooks you into playing for entire days.

This self-aware, time-based shooter series is as addictive as its story expertly criticizes it for being. While it’s a late addition to this list, SUPERHOT: Mind Control Delete nearly takes top spot. 2) SUPERHOT: Mind Control Delete Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, Steam RRP: $24.99/Free* On paper, it may look like a silly hat-tip to B-movies, but the world of Chicken Police is no laughing matter–even if it can be hilarious. It’s a gritty, foul-mouthed combination of Sam and Max, LA Noire and the weird, anthropomorphical animal stylings of Zootopia, delivering a unique brand of storytelling, remarkable voice acting, and stylish visuals. Its first outing couldn’t be further from the team’s past experiences, but it’s all the better for it: a well-executed and thrilling visual detective novel that’s simple, without ever being one-note.Ĭhicken Police's cast of characters is as colorful as its story. 3) Chicken Police: Paint it RED! Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch, Steam RRP: $19.99Ĭhicken Police is the debut game of Hungarian outfit The Wild Gentlemen, comprising alumni from AAA releases like The Witcher 3, Call of Duty WWII, and Crysis.

Here’s my full review of No Straight Roads. Naturally, it has one of the best, and most cleverly composed, soundtracks of the year if $40 seems steep, treat it as if you’re buying a game and an album at the same time. This boss-battle-heavy action-adventure game draws heavily on Scott Pilgrim, and you assume the role of rock band Bunk Bed Junction, featuring Mayday and Zuke (brilliantly voiced by Su Ling Chan and Steven Bones), who are looking to make a name for themselves in a world controlled by electronic dance music. This debut effort from Metronomik–a small Malaysian studio founded in 2017 by Wan Hazmer ( Final Fantasy XV lead designer) and Daim Dziauddin (a Street Fighter V concept artist)–uses the pair’s quirky art style as the basis for an utterly unique experience. While it may lack an indie pricetag, No Straight Roads also delivers the closest thing to a true AAA experience on this list. 4) No Straight Roads Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch, Steam RRP: $39.99 As far as short, story-driven platformers go, few are as satisfying and complete as Neversong, even if you may walk away with more questions than answers. Atmos GamesĬharacters are incredibly well-rounded, playing into the types of people you knew as a kid its bosses, meanwhile, are body-horror monstrosities that strike fear into your heart. Neversong's darkest moments are beyond compare. Months earlier, the village’s adults went to Blackfork Asylum–where your girlfriend Wren was last seen alive–to rescue her, but they never returned. This 2D platformer, in the style of a more colorful Limbo, follows Peet, a boy who wakes from a coma to discover his home of Redwind Village is now solely filled with children.

5) Neversong Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch, Steam, iOS RRP: $14.99įormerly known as Once Upon a Coma, it may be unsurprising to learn Neversong is a dark, haunting experience. It’s arguably the best casual game of 2020, offering surprisingly clever level design and often-fiendish difficulty, where course leaders can change after every hole, whether it’s down to luck, skill, or occasional acts of deviousness. It may feel basic, rarely seem fair, and regularly look garish and ugly, but Golf with Your Friends is an irresistible multiplayer game that just keeps giving. 6) Golf with Your Friends Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch, Steam RRP: $14.99 Both work in tandem, as Tales of the Black Freighter does with Watchmen, to create a tale that can’t be spoiled–you really have to experience it. Alongside this is Kasio’s story of Cassiopeia: a scientist who discovers a black hole that will destroy her world. The bulk of If Found… focuses on the journal of Kasio, a character in their early 20s who returns to their childhood home of Achill Island, off the Irish coast, after a school stint in Dublin.
