Spread the love
OMG
Over the month of January, the OMG crew will be releasing polls for our community to vote on their favourite console games of 2020. These games have been nominated, categorised and discussed by those behind the scenes here. We do acknowledge that everyone’s favourite 2020 games may not be on our lists, as unfortunately we are not able to play and review every game that comes to console. This is a bit of fun and chance for you to win prizes.
 
Many of these Games of the Year posts will come with a chance for you to win some loot such as Cyberpunk 2077, Fifa 21, a year of Xbox GamePass and more.

To win this loot is simple:-

  • You can get bonus entries by voting each day and liking our category posts on Facebook, Twitter and sharing them BUT you must vote.
  • That’s a total of 5 chances for each prize. Winners will be announced 7 days after the polls go live via the website and posts on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

And to kick this off, we are giving away a physical copy of Cyberpunk 2077 on PlayStation, compatible with PlayStation 4 and 5. Sorry, but this physical prize only open to Australian residents.

Best Sequel

Rules: These titles be a sequel and we are trying to look at those better then the last game in the series.


Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Switch


Battletoads – Xbox One

The Battletoads have been in the shadows for 26 years and this game knows it has some expectations and nostalgia to fill.  This sequel is a great addition to the Xbox exclusive library. Newcomers will be happy with the accessibility while veterans of the series have the option to be punished. The action is tight; the change in gameplay predominantly keeps it fresh, while the animations, cutscenes, art style and sound design oozes fun and style, you just wish there was a lot more of it. The toads are back and after this long wait, it is great to see they are ready for the battle once again.  Click here for our full review.


Crash Bandicoot It’s About Time – PS4, Switch and Xbox One

Crash Bandicoot It’s About Time a great all-around good time for young and old alike. The new characters, new level designs, quantum mask mechanics, boss level designs and difficulty along with the alternate timelines and additional multiplayer content allow for hours on hours of fun for the whole family to enjoy. For our full review, click here.


Desperados III – PS4 and Xbox One

From the story being detailed and well thought out to the fun gameplay, Desperados III is an amazing prequel to the games released back in the early 2000’s. This is the real time tactics genre at it’s best. The developer, Mimimi Productions, and the publisher, THQ Nordic, should be very proud of this achievement. For our full review, click here.


Doom Eternal – PS4, Switch and Xbox One

ID have developed their best DOOM to date, solidifying why the franchise has remained so popular for nearly three decades. It’s bigger, better and bolder in every way. For fans and newcomers alike, DOOM Eternal is an enjoyable, action packed experience that is gruesomely satisfying. For our full review, click here.


Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales – PS4|5

Miles Morales is a bright, charismatic A-grade student, who is not only able to step into the shoes of Spider-Man but does it so well that Insomniac have reflected that into this stellar game. Miles and his support characters create a memorable story in a beautiful backdrop. The action and activities will keep players webbed to their screen until credits role, it is just a pity that its shorter run time will keep players wishing it had a longer narrative in Miles’ first independent outing as the friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man. Click here for our full review.


Ori and Will of the Wisps – Xbox One and Series X|S, Switch

Ori and the Will of the Wisps is the definition of a sequel that succeeds, taking a formula that worked and expanding it in a way that enhances the overall experience. The execution of the new gameplay mechanics is seamlessly integrated via simple tutorials that don’t restrict the accessibility. Raising the bar in a genre as popular and established as platforming is no small feat but it is one that Ori and the Will of the Wisps has masterfully accomplished. Click here for our full review.


Streets of Rage 4 – PS4, Switch and Xbox One

Streets of Rage 4 hits the high notes in every single aspect at being faithful to franchise but it absolutely knocks it out of the park when adding new elements. As a long time BeatEm Up aficionado, I cannot name a single game in its genre that is this close to perfection. The streets are back, the rage is real and there is only one score I can give this amazing follow up, full marks, ten from ten. For our full review, click here.


The Last of Us Part 2 – PS4

The Last of Us: Part II is brutal, violent, confronting and at times just outright depressing. The world that has been established is in a league of its own, brought to life by characters and performances that are phenomenal, engaging and genuinely interesting. Such an emotionally driven, highly cinematic and interactive experience is a once in a generation feat to pull off but it is one that Naughty Dog have masterfully accomplished. Click here for our full review.


Wasteland 3 – PS4 and Xbox One

Wasteland 3 will keep the player continually thinking but at the same time having a lot of fun. The deep storyline relies on secondary mission playthroughs and exploration, encountering new colourful characters along the way. Decisions during the player’s journey and the effects on gameplay makes each playthrough their own and they will find themselves playing through more than the once. For our full review, click here.

    I voted for Crash, as it has always been a part of my gaming from purchasing the original when I bought my PSX.
