The next generation is here and unfortunately with it comes few games that utilize the power they offer. If you were lucky enough to obtain a PlayStation 5, you would be met with only one major game that was truly exclusive to Sony’s next generation platform: Demon’s Souls. While there’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Sackboy: A Big Adventure, each incredibly well-designed games, both were also released on the PS4. It’s a sad state of affairs when the PlayStation 5’s only next-generation exclusive is a remake of a PlayStation 3 game, but at least Bluepoint was able to properly honor the original’s vision with adding and slightly refining it. While there are elements that do feel dated to later iterations in the Souls franchise, there’s nothing like revisiting the classic and experience where the award-winning franchise began. Beautiful visuals, a 60fps mode and excruciatingly-challenging scenarios, while FromSoftware was not at the helm, the remake shines as one of the best games this year. If there’s one game to get on the new platform in 2020, it’s this fifty-plus hour RPG with so much replayability. Without Demon’s Souls, the PlayStation 5’s launch would be just plain embarrassing, making me so very thankful of its existence.

My normal taste in games leans towards arcade and action, but this year has been one where the extra focus to hone in on pinpoint-perfect reflexes just hasn’t been as available as I’d like. Instead I’ve been taking it easy, using gaming as a way to relax and escape into a more manageable world. The game that I’m thankful for this year is SnowRunner, which doesn’t have an enemy anywhere in the whole world but instead requires the player to use its tools to complete a huge series of jobs across hostile terrain. While sorting out the controls takes some effort, once learned there are a huge amount of tools available to tackle even the roughest wilderness. Mountain tracks carved by streams, muddy bogs, rivers frozen solid and snowdrifts that even the highest-traction tires can’t get a grip on all stand in the way of delivering Cargo to Place. You can tackle the challenges with brute force, careful plotting of the optimal route or relying on the winch to basically drag the truck to the goal, but there’s always a way if you’re patient enough. Few events are timed and just about everything is optional if you decide that a particular job feels like a bit much. There’s pressure in navigating the tougher areas, of course, but otherwise SnowRunner is a game of choosing a task and tackling it however you like, driving across the beauty of a wilderness that’s just barely been touched by humans. It’s challenging, sure, but also relaxing and satisfying, and I’m thankful there are games that let me unwind into a simpler, more-focused world.
But as alluded to near the beginning of this review, Genshin Impact does falter at the point where it seems the game is destined for undeniably phenomenal heights. Not entirely a deal-breaker or one that takes the player completely out of the accomplished immersion of its world or even its combat. But when totted up, does signal a game that could’ve used a bit more checking-over. When it comes to tackling some of the more technical components, Genshin Impact drops the ball one too many times. Even if you were to disregard the nature of the narrative or the way in which a group of characters can, at their worst, talk extensively (and absently off-screen worst of all), there’s a notable disconnect when the game, for example, continues to refer to your male sibling character as “she” or “her.” It isn’t the only basic error that crops up with many an instance of dialogue cutting off mid-conversation, not matching up with what’s written on-screen and at one point, a mere line of dialogue getting stuck on-screen for the rest of one’s play session.
Upon activation of her Elemental Burst , Eula will release an icy slash and then create a floating Lightfall Sword next to her. Dealing damage with her other attacks will then charge up the Lightfall Sword, which will explode after seven seconds and deal a massive explosion of damage relative to how many stacks you were able to charge
