Best New IP

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:-

  • Vote via the poll and comment at the bottom of this article with the game you voted for and with your first name and initial of surname. (This is to help with bonus entries)
  • 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.

We are giving away a code for Marvel’s Avengers, compatible with Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. This prize is only open to Australian and New Zealand residents.

Rules: These are games must be brand new IPs (Intellectual Property)


Carrion – PS4, Switch and Xbox One

Boasted as a horror game in reverse, CARRION puts the player in the role of a crimson red monster with menacing tendrils in side-scrolling 2D glory. By putting the perspective of the monster front and centre, the player is not in fear or the prey for once, instead the enemy is terrified of YOU. This role reversal is fun, less stressful and interesting and engaging enough to not tire of playing as an overpowered monster that is all but unstoppable. Click here for our full review.


Cyberpunk 2077 – PS5 and Xbox Series X|S*

Cyberpunk’s story, exceptional side-missions, eccentric NPCs, gunplay and outstanding location has me enthralled and it is one of those titles that I look forward to sitting down to become V to continue my journey with taking on Night City. For our full review in progress, click here.

* Note that our Cyberpunk nominations are for the Series X|S and PS5 versions. We have not reviewed the base console version or currently endorse those versions.


Deep Rock Galactic – Xbox One


Dreams – PS4


Immortals Fenyx Rising – PS4|5 and Xbox One, Series X|S

Immortals Fenyx Rising is an enjoyable game in a unique world that remains entertaining for hours on end. The combat is responsive, the in-game items are vast and the puzzles rewarding. Immortals Fenyx Rising is a game that can be enjoyed by almost anyone and I recommend that as many people do so. or our full review, click here.


Fuser – PS4, Switch and Xbox One


Ghost of Tsushima – PS4

Overall Ghost of Tsushima is a masterstroke of art, gameplay and open world exploration. This is a game to be savoured like a fine wine aged to perfection. Do not rush through this, as there is so much to see on this island of Tsushima. The story is perfectly placed and toned throughout as the Samurai who becomes a hero of the island and like Jin, this game is a legend. Sucker Punch should be extremely proud of this PS4 exclusive. This is how you end a generation with a game that hits it for six from every possible angle. Click here for our full review.


Hades – Nintendo Switch

Hades is a highly addictive title that will have players constantly doing ‘just one more run’. The combat, story, weapon and Boon system are well done and to the point that the escape experiences are never the same twice. It makes time fly by with each run and to the point where two and three o’clock in the morning happened to me often. Hades has impressive different enemy and boss types, which keeps battles fresh. It requires great strategy and sometimes a bit of luck to make it to the far reaches of the final boss. The joy and reward of that first successful escape attempt is so satisfying and makes the 20 to 30 hours played getting there well worth it. Well-done Supergiant games on this masterpiece!

Maneater – PS4|5, Xbox One and Series X|S

Tripwire Interactive have created a world that is fun to explore and full of both predators and prey to rip apart that ultimately leans towards repetitive and lacking in variety as the game pushes on. The simplified gameplay featuring single button prompts is easy and accessible to become familiar with, but unfortunately as the shark grows and becomes more powerful, the threat and challenge of the game diminishes which puts the player in a position of power that is not likely to be overcome. The joy and satisfaction of mindlessly wreaking havoc on innocent swimmers is one that holds on through until the end and at the reasonable launch price of $59.95, Maneater is worth sinking your teeth into.

Windbound – PS4, Switch and Xbox One

I was skeptical about playing a survival game that was not Player versus Player, however it only took a short amount of time to realise that I had something good on my hands. Windbound has set a new benchmark and could pave a bright future for the survival genre, giving life to what was becoming a mundane genre for this guy. Click here for our full review.
