the longing
Whenever I write these Game Of The Year posts, I always think back on the kind of year we had from both a gaming perspective, as well as a general world view. Needless to say, but 2020 was one hell of a year that I doubt many of us will forget for a long time. Sadly though, it's not because of a great line-up of interesting games, but because so many have lost their lives and their livelihoods as a result of the global pandemic.
Occasionally a game comes along that manages to subvert our expectations of what we think a game can be. I, of course, love this kind of creative diversion from the norm, even though it doesn't always pay off. Then again, it's only when a developer makes a strong artistic choice, that they enter the realm of opportunity that may provide room for creativity to truly grow until it becomes something special.
