The Last of You
The following contains spoilers for The Last of Us Part II. I’ve thought about the final scene of The Last of Us Part II daily since I finished the game over six months ago. In it, we see main character Ellie reflecting on her final conversation with her father figure Joel,…

merritt k’s Game of the Year 2020 List
This year I realized I basically only like two kinds of games: live service/arcade titles with no clear ending that let me chill out with my friends online, and tightly-paced experiences that take a few hours max. The Last of Us Part 2? Cyberpunk 2077? Never heard of her! 10. Destiny 2: Beyond…

I Wish Cyberpunk 2077’s Ending Was in a Better Game
The following contains spoilers for Cyberpunk 2077. Obviously. I beat Cyberpunk 2077 last night, and I wish there was some way for me to excise its ending from the rest of the game so I could enjoy it without caveats and asterisks. I didn’t like CD Projekt Red’s latest, not…

Collin MacGregor’s Game of the Year List 2020
The job of a guide writer isn’t a particularly glamorous one. It skews your perception of video games, as you’re forced to constantly look at how to solve every problem offered in the easiest, most efficient manner. My job is to make everyone’s lives easier, which has the double-edged effect…

I Successfully Fooled Nintendo Into Thinking I’m a Fitness King
It’s the end of the year, so platforms like TikTok and Spotify are doing their year-end wrap ups to let users know what their 2020 looked like on their services. Video games are also making these little presentations, including Nintendo, which launched its 2020 year in review tool yesterday. A…

Dillon Skiffington’s Game of the Year List 2020
As a warning, my game of the year lists are always a bit strange. You see, I have a huge backlog of titles to get through. I also have an incessant desire to give credit to the very good games that I play, even if it’s more than a year…

His Dark Materials Season 2 Episode 6 Review: “Malice”
“They consume what makes us human, so I just hid that from them,” Mrs. Coulter says of the spectres who eat people’s souls. “I suppress myself.” Would that we were all so lucky. Less an episode of television than a staccato succession of individual scenes — a series of unfortunate…

PUBG Mobile Season 16 Week 7 Challenges – Tips and Tricks
Another week, another PUBG Mobile Season 16 mission list. This latest set of challenges omits Livik entirely, so whether you liked last week’s marathon or not, you’re not expected to go back there for an encore. Instead, Week 7 wants a bit of everything.

Kenneth Shepard’s Top Five Games of 2020
As I did last year, I’m only ranking five games as my favorites in 2020. Why am I not doing the standard ten games? Because I only have enough love in my heart for five games at a time. Unlike your parents who deflected when you asked who their favorite…

John Warren’s Game of the Year 2020 List
I played a lot of games this year, which doesn’t sound like a huge accomplishment for someone who works at Video Game Website, but my role really changed at the tail end of 2019 and I wasn’t sure how much time I’d have. Still, you’ll notice that a lot of…

I’ll refrain from making any sweeping statements about what it was to play games in 2020, given everything that’s happened this year. Instead, I’m going to go right ahead and get out of the way of my list — these were my favorite gaming experiences this year, aside from my…
