Looking back at the games we played this year reads a bit like a soundtrack to a disaster film, with each game representing a specific piece of time. We dove into
Animal Crossing headfirst as lockdowns began. Then
Jackbox was a go-to for Zoom happy hours with friends and family. As time and the pandemic wore on and as reality sunk deeper into our lives and routines,
Hades conveyed the idea of persistence in the face of hell itself. And so on.
The games here offered some escapism, some human connection, a joyful retreat from the turmoil we faced and continue to face. We appreciate the developers of these games as well, who had no idea the context in which their work would exist. We re thankful that these 10 games in particular came out when they did.
