From next-generation standouts to modern Nintendo classics, here are our favorite games that made a very strange 2020 much more enjoyable.
Aside from any Star Wars title, Spider-Man: Miles Morales was next on my most-excited-to-play list. I was late to the party with the original Spider-Man on PS4 and didn't want to make the same mistake, especially after the trailer and gameplay samples were released. Miles Morales expands the story beyond Peter Parker and introduces you to his history, his family, his specific New York City and his powers.

Run, Die, Repeat: How Roguelike Games Helped Us Get Through 2020 : NPR
This is how I have gotten through 2020. Not the only way — not my only comfort, of course — but a big one. The pandemic, lockdowns, the election, the world. Things have been rough. Bleak on the good days, horrifying on the bad ones. I don't sleep a lot anymore. My focus is shattered into a hundred small pieces that I painstakingly assemble into days. I have lost things that I will never get back. We all have, whether we want to cop to it or not.
Video games have always gotten me through bad times. I've used them like medicine, like magic to stave off depression, to re-connect with old friends scattered around the country by the scrambling of adulthood, and to buy myself moments of dissociative calm when the entire world seems to be crumbling. Big, open-world games have always been my thing. Dissolving into the minutiae of imaginary places. Learning to walk through Hyrule or Los Santos or Skellige.

Many video games, from Super Mario to Candy Crush , provide us a clear example of how goals, set the correct way, can lead to better performance and growth.
Games are so effective at motivating people to accomplish tasks that non -game programs have borrowed these tactics in a process known as " gamification ." The app Duolingo is a perfect example—it motivates users to learn new languages by allowing them to earn virtual coins and "level up." Many fitness apps also use gamification to help you become a better athlete.

What 50 hours in Astro's Playroom taught me about video games | VentureBeat
As players, we get to decide what we want from a game. And while people can go to music, movies, and books for unique, individualized reasons, gaming's interactivity means that it's more like a collaboration between the player and the designers. That's something creators in other mediums don't usually have to worry about.
Astro's Playroom didn't need a dedicated speedrunning mode. Millions of people will likely end up playing the game when they first set up their PS5, and most of them will likely play through to the end and put it down without spending any extra time battling on the leaderboards. But a minority of players, like myself, would rather race against friends and enemies than see through the critical path.
