Good for a single weekend or several weeks of grinding to catch all the Temtem, developer Crema’s RPG is a worthy challenger to the pocket monster throne, and it’s only going to get better from here until the day it’s ready for a full release.

Like every expansion before it, Beyond Light stuck to its traditional guns shortly after it landed. A new world to explore? Check! New gear to collect? Check! A new subclass for the Warlock class that was nuked from orbit after release and transformed into a punching bag for Hunters and Titans in the Crucible? You better believe that that is a check on the Bungie list.

Here’s how you can fine-tune V into a sharpshooter from the five attribute skill-trees available in Cyberpunk 2077.

Developed by Cyanide Studios, the trailer narrated by game director Julien Desourteaux shows off the core meat and potatoes of Werewolf’s gameplay. You can skulk around in your human form, laying traps and taking out enemies or you can get sneakier as a full-blooded wolf that can work its way into conveniently-shaped air ducts for maximum surveillance opportunities.

Morbid follows the Dark Souls formula pretty closely despite it having a retro charm, but the boss fights are an undeniable highlight of the game. Disturbing bouts of danger that will snuff your flame out with a single lucky blow, these encounters boast an incredible art direction, fascinating gameplay quirks, and a challenge that’ll leave your controller moist with hand sweat.

We’re not done yet though! We’ve still got a few more games to recognise, and because we’re a bunch of lazy hacks who are counting down the minutes until we go on vacation, we’ve rounded the remaining standouts of excellence below. Here they, the best of the rest that 2020 had to offer.

Cyberpunk 2077 tells a compelling story with an excellent assortment of characters but fails to deliver on the promises of a living, breathing open-world. All of these faults are amplified by a messy user interface, unengaging combat, and shoddy performance across multiple platforms.

Slipping through Take-Two Interactive's blind spot and taking pole position, EA's revving its engine for a potential takeover of racing games giant Codemasters.
