#3 Game of the Year 2020 - Hades
The word "roguelike" in itself can be intimidating to a certain group of players. However, Hades didn't shy away from it and is designed in such a way that the game's players wouldn't shy away from it either. Hades completely rethinks the genre and injects an engaging narrative, a deep and satisfying combat system, the right amount of random moments, and enough long-term engagement to make this into more than just one of Supergiant Games' best efforts to date. Hades is one of the best roguelikes ever, full stop.

For the Chatty crowd,
YOUR Top 10 influenced this Top 10 quite a bit. It wound up bumping up Hades, The Last of Us: Part II, Ghost of Tsushima, and Cyberpunk 2077 to higher spots on this list.
Chatty's GOTY vote for Half-Life: Alyx basically cemented it for #1 overall on our list.-
I hadn't been following SoR4 so I didn't realize it was actually as good as it was and thought that maybe we had trashed the list but I feel like, as far as Shacknews goes at least, this is a startlingly accurate list for this year.
