Recall: Episode 4 – 2019 Year in Review

2020 Expectations

Omer: At the beginning of 2020 I told myself I have enough games to play and I’d only buy new games once I’m done with what I have in my library. I was doing really well and then came March and I was like ‘well, maybe I should be more adaptive’. I also never expected to buy into cloud gaming, but here we are.

Aviv: Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Watch Dogs Legion, Cyberpunk 2077

Favourite Games of the Past Year

Omer: (in no particular order): Animal Crossing: New Horizon, Hades, Star Renegades. The favourite game this year that didn’t come out this year - AC: Odyssey (some recency bias there but I’m in love).

Aviv: Hades, Assassin's Creed Valhalla,  Persona 5 Royal

2021 Expectations

Omer: I just want Baldur’s gate III to come out of early access and diablo 4 to be out on Stadia (wouldn’t bet on the latter but one can hope). UBI+?, Lost Ark

Aviv: Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, Hitman 3, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake
