12 Best Video Games Of 2020 - Ranked Per Month

12. December - Cyberpunk 2077

Starting at the end we have the most controversial game of last month, if not the entire year.

Let's get the issues out the way first:

Yes, the last-gen versions of the game were appallingly broken, unplayable messes that almost entirely dissolved all the goodwill CD Projekt had from the Witcher and GOG.

Yes, even the working versions were seriously buggy (it's hard to take someone's last words seriously when they deliver their dying speech with a gun lodged through their head like a comedy arrow), and yes, Keanu Reeves' performance as Johnny Silverhand was disappointingly flat (sorry Keanu, love you in Face the Music, though).

HOWEVER, although CD Projekt's technical work left much to be desired, their much-vaunted writing chops proved to be as strong as ever, resulting in one of the most memorable adventures of the year.

Excellent characters, some best-in-the-world city design and excellently written side-quests helped make Night City last year's most atmospheric video game locale.

Other games may had longer run-times or bigger worlds to explore, but few had Cyberpunk's personality or sense of place.
