15 Best Video Games Of 2020 (So Far)

1. DOOM Eternal

If we're talking pound for pound, second-by-second quality for game of the year so far, it's DOOM Eternal.

Where Last of Us stretches out its runtime just a smidge; has you collecting one-too-many crafting components from one-too-many hyper detailed locales, DOOM is laser-focused from front to back.

There's not a wasted pixel in its immaculate design. Id Software took what was already a bold modernisation of a legendary FPS, and confidently expanded it further.

Delving into a "combat chess" sensibility that ties ammo to chainsaw kills, armour to flamethrowers and health "glory kills", you're forever encouraged to stay on the move; championed to experiment.

Stunning visuals and great enemy design power you further, with higher difficulties only refining this playstyle more.

By game's end you'll be a blur of gunfire, energy blades and explosives. It's a feeling of pure gameplay synergy; of a product reacting to your synapses and on-the-fly suggestions as fast as your brain can process them.

DOOM Eternal is immediate first-person shooter royalty; the result of time-tested game developers elevating their own genre-defining works into truly phenomenal territory.
