Animal Crossing: New Horizons［集合啦！動物森友會］

Animal Crossing New Horizons takes customization to new heights (literally)
by allowing you to move earth and water and design your own island (previous
games limited you to designing your house interior; you can still do that).
What's more, it allows you to share that experience with friends, with
virtual island tours becoming something of a cultural phenomenon of 2020.
That's the real potential this Animal Crossing unlocked: the combination of
creating and sharing has been key to its success, and key to its entry into
popular culture, perhaps more than any game released this year.

Animal Crossing New Horizons is a cute, often clever, totally unique social
game, but it can also be a great solitary one as well, with plenty of animal
friends to keep you company. Life is good in [YOUR ISLAND NAME] almost one
year in. Those that stuck with Animal Crossing New Horizons have not only
spent months collecting, decorating, and hosting, but also watching the
seasons change along with new updates like DLC holiday celebrations.


Assassin's Creed Valhalla［刺客教條 維京紀元］

In a year of excellent open worlds, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is a big,
bold, and ridiculously beautiful Viking-era playground that may trump them
all as it impressively unfolds across its sprawling Middle Ages recreation.
It finely straddles the line between historical tourism, top-shelf conspiracy
theory, and veiled mysticism against the backdrop of a grounded and focused
story of family and destiny.

Its fresh takes on the series’ traditional loot and side activities offer a
more organic and nuanced experience, while its savage combat reinforces the
ugliness of the matter it portrays. It’s rare that a game makes you stop and
really process the wonder of what you’re seeing, but Assassin’s Creed
Valhalla is loaded with such moments. Despite its many flaws, Valhalla is as
memorable and dense as an Assassin’s Creed has ever been on the back of its
rugged beauty, smart design, and sheer breadth, offering one of the very best
games of the year.


Cyberpunk 2077 (PC version)　［電馭叛客2077　PC版］

Without a doubt, the most anticipated game of 2020, Cyberpunk 2077's PC
release managed to impress even in the face of an overwhelming wall of hype.
We know the last-gen console version is in particularly bad shape (you can
see our PS4/XB1 review here) - that's why we're specifically only including
the PC release in our nominations. It may be far from polished, with visual
bugs around pretty much every corner at launch – but the diamond buried in
all that rough shines brightly through it regardless.

It’s an RPG with an immeasurable deal of flexibility in dialogue options,
mission choice, character builds, and more, and the sprawling, eccentric
Night City begs you to uncover all its secrets. While its main storyline may
be shorter than CD Projekt Red's past efforts, it’s still packed with
content. Flaws and all, the PC version Cyberpunk 2077 is still one of the
most impressive games this year.


Final Fantasy 7 Remake［太空戰士七 重製版］

Who would have thought that the best part about a remake of Final Fantasy 7
would be its real-time action combat? Despite how improbable that sounds, it’
s what wowed me most about a game people had been waiting years for. Its
combat is fast and savage, with tons of choice in how you choose to build
your characters and nuance in how you take down its wide array of enemies –
and yet it somehow still retains the heart of what people remember about the
original, if not its literal turn-based systems.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake not only recreated Midgar and its lovable cast of
characters in gorgeous fashion, it reinvented their fight in a way that made
it shine beyond just pure nostalgia. It’s only a small part of a larger
story (a story that can admittedly feel a bit muddled at times), but the part
it tells is full of exciting moments, returning and brand new alike.


Ghost of Tsushima［對馬戰鬼］

Much like the in-game wind that guides you to your destinations, Ghost of
Tsushima is a gust of fresh air. It is one of the largest steps forward in
the open-world action-adventure genre in some time thanks to its excellent
combat, clever approach to progression that avoids the pitfall of having to
level gate its quests, and its very often emotional side stories that go to
great lengths to develop its supporting cast.

With Ghost of Tsushima, Sucker Punch crafted one of the most strikingly
beautiful open worlds we've seen to date and filled it to the brim with
worthwhile encounters, platforming challenges, collectibles, side stories,
and much more. And all of this is on top of the free multiplayer mode, Ghost
of Tsushima Legends, which adds on a truly excellent cooperative mode for up
to four players that features its own progression and challenges, separate
from the already excellent main campaign.


Hades［黑帝斯］

Hades is a one-of-a-kind rogue-lite that sets the bar for creatively
combining wildly different genres and using their strengths to complement
each other in unexpected ways. Satisfying, twitch-based combat combined with
the Rogue-lite potential of breaking the game through a lucky pull of boons
and power-ups leave you feeling like a god. Above all that, though is how
Hades ties narrative progression to its gameplay loop. Failed runs, player
choice, and built up relationships are authored moments that feel unique to
your playthrough in a way that no game before it has even attempted to come
close.

A cast of ancient, storied characters recontextualized through a modern lens
makes the Greek pantheon feel new. And that coat of paint extends to the
literary device of Greek Tragedy. Transforming this tale destined for a
tragedy into a fairy tale that promises to stay with you for all time. Hades
is everything that video games should strive to be, all rolled into a
tightly-woven package for your enjoyment.


Half-Life: Alyx［戰慄時空：艾莉克絲］

Valve is known for not messing around when it comes to Half-Life games. The
original 1998 game transformed how stories were told in first-person games;
the sequel ushered in a physics-based gaming revolution in 2004. Both left
marks on the genre so recognizable that you can easily distinguish the games
that came before them and the games that came after.

The same, we expect, will be true of Half-Life: Alyx, in which Valve raised
the (crow)bar on VR shooters to levels no one had ever seen before.
Unprecedented levels of physical interactivity combine with top-tier graphics
and storytelling to absolutely drench us in the atmosphere of Valve’s
legendary universe. Once you play it and see what’s possible, you’ll never
look at other VR games the same way again.


The Last Of Us Part 2［最後生還者 第二部］

The Last of Us Part 2 feels like the culmination of Naughty Dog's
storytelling ambitions that first took form with the original Uncharted.
Living up to one of the most beloved game stories of all time is no easy
task, but Part 2 takes what made the original so nuanced and interesting and
doubles down on it in a journey that feels entirely real and unexpected.
Through the act of controlling characters who are overtly flawed, you come to
understand them, even if it hurts you, the player, in the process. And while
this sounds like a huge bummer, The Last of Us Part 2 is ultimately hopeful;
not just a story about how violence can beget violence, but a story about
overcoming it.

That complex storytelling is also coupled with Naughty Dog's best
third-person action stealth and action combat yet, thanks to some brilliantly
intuitive level design and smart AI that makes each new encounter as much a
puzzle box as it is a fight to survive. (It also makes this Last of Us
multiplayer fan pine for a sequel to that mode.) The Last of Us Part 2 is
gruesome, brutal, and full of emotional stakes, and ranks as one of the PS4's
best exclusives ever.


Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales［Marvel蜘蛛人：麥爾斯摩拉斯］

Insomniac's second foray into its Spider-Man universe builds on the strong
foundations of the original and tells a more impactful story, improves upon
the combat and collectibles, and makes the already beautiful open-world NYC
even more gorgeous. Yes, Miles Morales may be a smaller package than its
predecessor, but everything here feels integral to the game's core - Miles
himself.

Backed by a wonderful ensemble cast who each earn their time in the
spotlight, Miles is a warm, charismatic, and vulnerable protagonist, driven
by the love of his family, friends, neighborhood, mentor, and society as a
whole. He's bolstered by the wonderful web-swinging Insomniac perfected in
the original, along with new stealth and electric combat powers that make
every encounter more varied. This Spider-Man adventure is hopefully just the
beginning of Miles' journey in this universe.


Microsoft Flight Simulator［微軟模擬飛行］

Never before has an "open-world" game been quite as literal as Microsoft
Flight simulator. The incredible complexities of its real-world Bing map
integration allow you to fly over, take off from and land at any airport in
the world while taking in some of the Earth's most breathtaking wonders.


They're all here, waiting for your flight. But beyond the astonishment and
freedom to visit literally any place on planet Earth, the flight modeling is
some of the most realistic ever crafted. It's truly an incredible
technological achievement, one that gives you the ability to fly from
anywhere to anywhere in astounding detail.
