9 Best Video Games Of 2020 You DIDN'T Play

6. Raji: An Ancient Epic

Nodding Heads Games

A ludicrously ambitious, genuinely jaw-dropping first title from newcomers Nodding Heads Games, Raji centres on the titular character journeying to save her brother from scores of shadowy demons.

Wearing such beautiful Indian culture on its sleeve, Raji plays like a blend of the original God of War games, alongside touches of the 2000s' Prince of Persia run. You've got the wall-runs and acrobatic in-combat flips of Ubisoft's titles, and the chain combos and finishers from Sony Santa Monica.

Combined this would be recommendable enough, but it's the sheer amount of charm that comes from Nodding Heads delving into their own heritage as a proud Indian studio, that elevates Raji's journey from front to back.
