What a year 2020 has been! While COVID has been a major pain in the butt, the upside has been a little extra time to play some games.
There were a lot of great games we had a chance to review in 2020. Over 75 in total!. With that many games to choose from, it took a bit of time to come up with the list. Especially since there were some last-minute reviews to consider!
To be eligible for a 2020 award a game had to have been reviewed (not previewed), by one of our writers, between January 1st, 2020, and December 31st, 2020. The three tiers of awards are, from lowest to highest, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. I’ve been asked why don’t I do a Bronze award. I mean, who really wants to win Bronze?
To find out more about each game you just need to click its thumbnail to be magically whisked away to the review.
With that out of the way, let’s get on to the awards!
