Looks interesting. I missed your thread about it.I'm still beating that Biomass drum:
Biomass Is Metroid Fusion Crossed With Bloodborne and It's One of the Best Games of 2020 (Free DLC Announced)
With that out of the way let’s get into that thread title. At the most basic level Biomass takes the linear, but still somewhat open, structure of Metroid Fusion (while expanding on that wonderfully creepy sci-fi dread) with the aggressive pace of combat and world-building of Bloodborne. There’s...www.resetera.com
There is No Game: Wrong Dimension is sort of a puzzle adventure game and uhh... I don't want to say too much about it. Let's just say if you like games like Pony Island or Hypnospace Outlaw, you may like this.
I knew nothing about this one before I saw it mentioned like 8724968346 times in this thread. Looking forward to trying it out.Umurangi Generation is my pick for sure.
Absolutely wonderful game, with great art, music and something meaningful to say.
Huntdown seemed to fly a bit under the radar for how good it is.
Troubleshooter: Abandoned Children, a phenomenally designed SRPG that's brings a whole lot if smart, innovative changes to the genre. Has a bit of XCOM in it, but it really has more in common with something like Final Fantasy Tactics or Fire Emblem.
It's one of my favourite games in years. Troubleshooter is extremely good.
This game is really cool. I love the cynical corporate slave story framing. It also kinda feels like a Homeworld spinoff which makes sense considering the developer. However, I'm waiting until it's finished before I play more.
YES. This game fries my brain.
I love this one. It just feels great to play. Can't wait for it to be finished.Ultrakill - Devil May Doom, it's the FPS reimagined as a character action game.
Disc Room - Mostly by the team who made Minit, it's a game about dodging discs!
It's only about five hours or so, but its the perfect length for the story it tells.Looks great and hadn't't heard of it - how long does it last for
Huntdown seemed to fly a bit under the radar for how good it is.
No Straight Roads, which has far and away the best art design and soundtrack of any game I've played this year.
Huntdown was a first as well.Pacer and Mortal Shell are great games that are, also, the first game of a new studio.
I think Shantae and the Seven Sirens is the best Shantae yet and it feels like nobody played it. Probably a combination of Half-Genie Hero turning people off and the early mobile half-release, but it's a shame since I think it's a very good game.
Really interested in this. As good as the Digimon games?
Yeah that stuff definitely turns people off of the series, but it's nothing new to it lol. I more meant relative to the previous games in the series it still felt like it went under the radar.
Sorry, can't say as I never played a Digimon game (nor watched the anime). I'll say that it's a great Pokemon-like game, though.
I've been watching videos about this game but im still unsure. I love some roguelikes but there are some i really dont like. I didnt like spelunky at all and im not sure if i would like this. I know it has all this physics which sounds cool but i fear that the combat might be too dull for me.Noita, if it counts. It's so good.
edit: To be more descriptive, it's a magical roguelite with wand customization, impressive physics/elemental interactivity, and tons of secrets. It's definitely not an easy game, but its a cool mix of things I love in other games put together in a package unlike anything else I've played before.
I'm glad to see this mentioned a couple of times. Despite playing a whole lot more games this year than usual, I didn't have as much fun with anything -- up until the past couple of weeks, anyway -- as I did with Maneater.

Artemis' Minesweeper
Saw this on Gamespot and it already made the rounds on Twitter, so maybe it's not really hidden? Simple concept: minesweeper + bullet hell, but if you like both of those things you'll find this highly addictive. I don't love the anime aesthetic, nor the music, but it's a really solid proof-of-concept.
Availabe (FOR FREE!) on Windows, Mac, Linux, or just in your browser via Itch io.
Bug Fables!
Technically Nov 2019 but it released on Switch this year.
It's a really charming, wholesome turn based RPG very much inspired by Paper Mario of old. If it was any more inspired by PM it would be PM.
It has a challenging Hard Mode that brings all the gameplay systems together so that's what I recommend playing it in.
I went in thinking "Oh, bootleg PM" but it really stands on its own and is actually quite good. I only know of 2 other games that are like this, give it a try!
Carto was a nice surprise. Main game mechanic felt really fresh, and the art is great.
It's out on everything I think.
to be honest something about the aesthetic/atmosphere of being in those little train cars in what little i've seen puts me off that game and is probably the main reason I haven't tried it,just kinda seems too samey in that regard
is that one of those things that is less of a concern in practice?
