The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
- Release date: May 19, 2020
- Developer: CD Projekt Red Studio
- Cost: 1799 rubles
- Metacritic score: 92/9.2
Short review
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is the best RPG of our time, which has become an example for many other developers (hello Ubisoft and the Assassin's Creed reboot).
The game finally has a full-fledged open world, which surprises with a variety of additional activities, characters and mobs.
But the sweetest thing about The Witcher is the story, the combat system, and the hundred-hour length. The developers also made 2 large-scale additions that are required to be completed.

Battlefield V
Battlefield V ranks 9th on the list of best games on PS4. The new part of the game is dedicated to the Second World War. Gamers will find both an exciting single-player campaign and a well-implemented multiplayer mode. The developer has introduced more advanced mechanics into his project, as well as unique gameplay features. For example, grenade explosions will naturally throw players in different directions, and heavy projectiles will easily penetrate many obstacles. The new Battlefield V is a first-class service that will delight PS4 owners for a long time to come. This is where the coolest shooting and destruction is. What else do fans of cool shooters need?
Kingdom Come: Deliverance
Kingdom Come: Deliverance is one of the best RPG games on PS4 in 2018. The new game from Warhorse Studio is noticeably different from most modern games. Get ready for about 15 km of open world. The plot of the game itself develops in medieval times, while PS4 owners will find incredibly cool graphics. A huge number of options for completing quests, perfectly crafted character dialogues, a non-linear plot, as well as a realistic fencing system - these features alone make you love the game Kingdom Come: Deliverance. This is a project that every connoisseur of quality RPGs should have.
Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom
Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is a AAA project that is completely different from anything else you've played this year. The storyline here is straightforward, there are no answer options in dialogues and several paths through. The graphics are voluminous and made in a cartoon style, somewhat reminiscent of Zelda. The virtual world is inhabited by cats, dogs, fish and other creatures that are very similar to people - they walk on two legs (paws), wear clothes, go to work, and so on. And the main character here is not an ardent warrior who has seen a hundred battles, but a little boy who lost his father and now wants to achieve world peace.
The writers very carefully raise the theme of good and evil, revenge and forgiveness. Our hero decides not to kill his offender, but to find a new bright place and create a kingdom there where everyone will be happy. Isn't it a noble goal? The gameplay component is also ready to delight - the developers skillfully combine a classic slasher, a city-planning simulator and a JRPG. It all looks organic and very interesting, especially if you read all the dialogues and think about what the characters say and do. It's cool that someone else is creating such games.
Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is out on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
Monster Hunter: World
Monster Hunter: World is an amazing game of 2020 on PlayStation 4, capable of captivating with its lively picture. Players will find dragons, dinosaurs, and truly creepy creatures from the depths, made to the highest possible quality. Adventures will take place both in blooming jungles and in scorched jungles or dark caves. Monster hunting is the central mechanic of the game. At the same time, it doesn’t all come down to the banal waving of a sword. You need to think about what kind of trap to set and where exactly to place it, how to use nature or other creatures as help. Moreover, each monster has its own characteristics and skills. Moreover, even the same monster can behave differently in different situations. Overall, the game is worth playing.
Horizon Zero Dawn
- Release date: February 29, 2020
- Developer: Guerrilla
- Cost: 1199 rubles
- Metacritic score: 89/8.4
Short review
A beautiful open world, monstrous robots and a complex combat system - that's all that Horizon Zero Dawn has to offer the player. But that doesn't make it a bad game.
It's interesting to fight here, you can either directly attack your enemy or try to crawl through the bushes to hack him or tame him.
The developers of Horizon Zero Dawn borrowed the mechanics of capturing points from Far Cry, difficult combat from Dark Souls and archery/climbing mountains from Tomb Raider.
The game has a special feature. Its unique setting, which combines the Stone Age and the technology of a lost civilization.

Far Cry 5
Remember the release of Far Cry 3? This game at one time blew up the gaming industry, becoming a real hit. This was followed by new parts that were practically no different, so interest in the Far Cry series subsided a little. Ubisoft took a short break. And in 2020, the game Far Cry 5 was created, which can be played both on PS4 and on other platforms. In fact, there are no new features here. The developer simply took all the best from his previous games and implemented it into his new project. The result is a high-quality game, the events of which unfold in an exemplary open world.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider
The new part of Lara Croft is deservedly included in the “best games of 2020” rating. Excellent graphics, well-thought-out details, an exciting plot and constant worries about the main character make Shadow of the Tomb Raider a special project. The game can be played in stealth mode. The main weapon will remain a bow and arrows, which will help you destroy enemies in batches almost unnoticeably. In the new part you will have to explore even more abandoned tombs that are fraught with complex mysteries. Users also like this game because sometimes they have to think with their heads, and not just stupidly press the same keys. Do you like action-adventure games? Shadow of the Tomb Raider is exactly what you need!
A Way Out
To date, not many games have been released where there is a close relationship between the main characters. And with a thoughtful and exciting storyline, there are only a few of them. One of these projects can easily include the game A Way Out. The game is probably best associated with the cult TV series Escape. The plot centers on a prison from which two prisoners are trying to escape. The heroes will not be able to escape on their own. And here the most interesting part begins - the mechanics that involve playing on a split screen. Another attractive thing is that you can play not only with a friend on the same couch, but also online. In general, look for like-minded people and escape from prison.
Until Dawn is an excellent representative of gaming horror films
A game for Sony PlayStation 4 that I didn’t want to buy at all until a friend told me about the coolness of the project. Before this, I had never even heard of her. Well, the genre didn’t really set me in the right mood - interactive cinema with horror elements.
Nevertheless, the comrade insisted, saying, “You won’t regret it.”
In the Russian Federation it is published under the title “Until Dawn” and offers a multi-linear plot. That is, to see all the content completely, until dawn you need to go through several times. At the same time, each passage takes at least 7-8 hours.
During the game you will have to make difficult decisions, from the point of view of certain principles - moral, for example. It happens that the authors will more than once put you before a choice when you have to sacrifice one character in order to help out another. In general, the “toy” is cool and deserves its 79 points on metacritic.
Red Dead Redemption 2
Finally, in 2020, the sequel to the best game on PS4 about the Wild West was released - Red Dead Redemption 2. As you know, its creator is Rockstar Games, famous for releasing such a hit as GTA. Only in the game Red Dead Redemption, a person's coolness is determined by his ability to wield a revolver, as well as skillfully control his horse. The open world once again awaits players, so they can go in any direction. Just a perfectly designed open world became the basis for the creation of a completely new online mode.
Assassin's Creed: Odyssey
- Release date: October 2, 2020
- Developer: Ubisoft
- Cost: 3999 rubles
- Metacritic score: 83/6.3
Short review
Ubisoft has rebooted the Assassin's Creed series after the disgraceful failure with Unity and Syndicate.
The first experiment of 2020 was a success. The next part of the franchise has become larger and received new features.
Now in the game you can choose who to play as - a woman or a man.
The main advantages of Assassin's Creed: Odyssey are the presence of two warring sides, large-scale battles between factions, a dialogue system and New Game+.

Detroit: Become Human
The game takes place in the near future in the city of Detroit. It is curious that the game has three storylines at once, where the main role is assigned to three androids who find themselves in rather difficult situations. Detroit: Become Human has a lot of difficult situations. And you will need to find a way out of them by any available means. Greater freedom of choice is the main advantage of the project. Players will never make the wrong decision, so it will be really interesting to play.
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End – Drake's gorgeous adventure
"A Thief's End" is a game that came with a curling iron. First love... Okay, it’s not love at all, but just an awesome adventure in the company of Nathan Drake and his brother. The first thing that catches your eye is cool graphics, rich colors, excellent animation, well-written dialogues. And also, there is a persistent desire to find out: what will happen in the next mission? And so with each new level of the game... That’s why the PlayStation doesn’t turn off for several hours.
Of course, I had heard a lot about the coolness of the projects of the Naughty Dog studio, which never made bad games (with the exception of one that came out in the early 90s), but only when I sat down with a gamepad in front of the television screen and went through the fourth “uncharted”, I realized - it is a masterpiece. And after it the remaster of the 3rd part was completed.
Spider-Man
You won’t immediately remember when a truly high-quality game about the funny superhero Spider-Man came out. The only thing that comes to mind is the good old game Ultimate Spider Man. But that was more than 10 years ago. This time, the Sony team took a very serious approach to creating a new game that can only be played on the PlayStation 4. Interestingly, the game is not at all related to the comics or the film. There is a completely unique plot here. And gamers will be lucky to play not only as a hero in a suit, but also as an ordinary guy, Peter Parker. The game has an open world, so we can go wherever we want, which is one of the main advantages of the project.
Death Stranding
The release of a new game from Hideo Kojima is an extraordinary event in itself, but now the cult following of this famous figure in the gaming industry seems to have crossed all conceivable and inconceivable limits.
And all because this time old Hideo is not making a new Metal Gear, but something completely new. Death Stranding is one of the most mysterious projects of recent years. There is literally almost nothing to tell about it, all that remains is to watch the spectacular but incredibly incomprehensible announcement trailer over and over again, as well as “monitor” the news about every sneeze of Kojima.
By the way, interest in Death Stranding is also caused by the fact that this is the first game that Hideo makes outside the walls of Konami. This Japanese publisher is in the past, now Kojima works directly with... Another Japanese publisher. And at the same time the owner of the PlayStation platform. Yes, yes, it's Sony.
God of War
God of War is the best PS4 game of 2020. This is an attempt to create a completely new story about Kratos. And the developer Sony Interactive Entertainment succeeded very well. Indeed, completely new characters, a new world, and, of course, a unique plot await players. Kratos may have aged a little, but this does not prevent him from successfully fighting his enemies. In addition, now he has a faithful assistant. And this is not just anyone, but his own son. By the way, the boy is completely different from his father. He's not very good at handling weapons. And he always feels sorry for his enemies. However, the boy can communicate with monsters in their own language. Where did he get this gift from? Unclear. In any case, the duet turned out to be very interesting and unusual.
