While it is true that COVID-19 has been a problem in many ways, no one can deny that it has been a good year for video games. After all, we’ve seen some great video game releases and even the leap into a new generation. And while it is true that we have encountered more of a delay in video games, as we have seen throughout the year with Final Fantasy VII Remake and Cyberpunk 2077 includedWe have also had great success. But it’s time to review the year of some companies and others.
Start the year with the arrival of major launches
We began to 2020 PlayStation review, a company that from the start anticipated that we would have the arrival of its next generation of consoles this year. Without a doubt, one of the proposals that marked the course of his year from start to finish. Of course, no one can deny that there was some dissatisfaction on the part of the fans since the disinformation was total, to the point that it was not known when it would be launched, let alone its price.
But what we see at the start of the year is that one of the most sought-after games saw its date with a new change due to the situation with the Covid. Final Fantasy VII Remake would ultimately not be available from March, but skipped its release until April. Something that was even appreciated in many lucky cases who had the game at home before their time.
This title has become one of the favorite games of many since it served as a reunion with some of the most beloved characters. Of course, that didn’t stop players from looking to upcoming exclusives. After all, we still had some big promises to make, besides knowing some of the releases that they were getting ready for PlayStation 5.
Great exclusives deserving a GOTY
As we said, the year of the PlayStation not only focused on the new generation, but also big releases. In fact, the sequel to The Last of Us was one of the big victims of the pandemic since its launch was more than delayed. But nothing could with the Naughty Dog Project, a work that ended up being one of the biggest hits of the year and nominated more than deserved as Game of the Year.
But next to that there is another great piece. The work of Sucker Punch, Ghost of Tsushima, was one of the great proposals of this year and it is that, able to take us to feudal Japan, it presents us with surprising places, it obliges us to bring out our smarter side and, of course, it surprises us with cinematic moments that leave us speechless.
All of this accompanied by the occasional confirmed release over time for PlayStation 5. And where was the big hit? With the arrival of Demon’s Souls Remake, one of the biggest hits of the console and, to give it even more weight, the first PS5 exclusive. At least a surprise, although its release date took a long time to be communicated.
The road to the next generation of consoles to end the year
And finally, with a year that ended up being more chaotic than any other, the console was presented. Big, powerful and truly amazing. A console that promised ignore loading times, a controller capable of making us feel the game and a proposal much more focused on the player experience. Without a doubt, a gem that guarantees a new level of play.
Of course, its launch catalog is quite rare and, in reality, few units were viewed when it launched. In fact, many people are still looking for a way to access this console today, both in its fullest version and in its digital-only version. It is therefore that we have before us one of the weakest points, in fact, but also, to note, could guarantee a 9/10 for PlayStation in 2020.
A 2021 that promises to be full of nice surprises
In general, it’s been a good year for the brand and while there are some aspects that could be improved upon, like the lack of games for its new console or the fact that it took so long to let us know, which is clear. for us, it’s that a 2021 arrives loaded with a lot exciting announcements and news. Therefore, we are one step closer to a great year for the players.
Horizon: Forbidden West, God of War Ragnarok and other big announcements which, for the moment, are biding their time. How will 2021 come for the players? So far, what you have allowed us to see seems really exciting.
