The thread title says it all— how many contemporary games did you play (for any amount of time) this year?

I keep a list and I've played 15 2020 games to completion. There's a few that I picked up but didn't finish though. Would like to try to before Goty lists, but that is looking unlikely.

26 I think since we're just talking games that we played for any amount of time. Most of them on PS4/PS5, then some on Switch.

I counted 59 of any kind on my list, though that's probably missing a couple of recurring games from previous years. Of those I would classify about 25 or so as playing to completion, not counting some games where that concept doesn't really exist

9, actually! Played a lot of old PS4 exclusives earlier in the year so it was a good mix this last year.

None, I have a huge backlog, so I am more of a patient gamer, catching up slowly with the times, my personal GOTY of 2020 was Dust: An Elysian Tail, a game from 2012.

Like 30 something easy.

A lot of those were one hour "NOPE, I'M GOOD" flings though

4-6 feels about right. I completed Hellpoint, Vigil: the Last Night, Horizon Zero Dawn (PC release) and Ghost Runner; oh, and Ori2.

I've also played at least two dozen demos for 2020 releases, though. And a few other games I've started but didn't get too far in. Considering how much time I've spent playing demos, this year was probably the one I've played the most "current" games in a while.

I've also spent the last month of 2020 playing custom made, 2020 content for a 2019 game, age of Empires II DE, which is my "GAAS", I guess.

I think it was only Star Wars Squadrons, and only the first week before I stopped (and haven't played since).

I'm not a new release guy.

Just 5. Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Last of Us Part II, Fall Guys, Trails of Cold Steel IV, and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity.

EDIT: Forgot about Mario 3D All-Stars, but that's a compilation of 3 old games, all of which I'd played previously, so not sure it counts.

Three: FFVIIR, GOT, and Hades. They were all fantastic, but I think I'm done trying to keep up with the zeitgeist. I had a great time playing mostly old games in 2020.

Zero 2020 games played so far. But I did buy three (Cyberpunk, The Outer Worlds, Black Mesa) and receive three others (Superhot Mind Control Delete, Mafia II Definitive Edition, Animal Crossing New Horizons). Meanwhile I'm busy playing F.E.A.R. from 2005...
