My not so bad 2020 in videogames
Probably cuz I completely ignore the most of year launches
Most are revisions to games from the 2000s, of which there are some my most pivotal games experiences.
This List represents my interest in videogames, mainly those that operate in certain limits and forms imposed by the producers' tables but that manage to shine highlight imperfect and in a more creative and experimental way than their contemporaries. Or completely innovative. Or completely Focused. Those too.I will be replaying several of these games for years cuz they're amazing.
i'm not including all the games i've played this year.
I have not included either sporadic runs from shumps or Fighting matches
2020 was a tough year due the pandemic and good people have been on personal stiff situations, as for myself, i can't complain since i didn't lose anything or anyone ; my people are save, i'm in stand by at work and i had plenty of free time. But at the beginning of the quarantine i was forced to return home, my childhood home. Return to one of the house where i grew up makes me think that i could revisit some games of the two past decades, those in which i formed as a person, with those videogames that make me who i am today and, certainly, some outstanding issues (laughs in otaku(lol))
The quarantine deprive me of enjoying the summer-spanian-atmosphere of my hometown;
local summer festivals, crystaline water rivers, stretched blue skies, mountains, orange trees, forests and terraces ... Dude this was nothing compare to other people problems for sure, but playing Beeswing (for like the third time) and return to this places in this restricted way feels like a cultural shock, a mental clash screaming at me "you'll never be a kid again" and it's good because a new essential conversation between me and Jack Spooner/Beeswing occurred at that moment ,and it would go on with the radically different Genealogy of the Holy War.
FE Genealogy of the Holy War beat me. Like, not in the way a game beats you, no death and restart, not permadeath on a character. Like destroying my hunt determination for a credits ending, for a canonical ending.
I had lost and i was fine with that, its my ending.
I'm not a person with hardcore-gamer desires or
trends of approach to emfermic success. I don't like the challenging videogames per se. I appreciated their obstinance.That was always what led me to stick with games like Dragon Quarter, Nocturne, Drakengard, Super Monkey Ball or God Hand.
Their obstinance. But this time and since I played Beeswing and Boku No Natsuyasumi, I accepted that my emotions were more important than any formality or mechanics.
My heart was telling me that accept the life
accept life as it came, not without fighting, not conforming, but knowing how to accept and love the things i experience.
Boku No Natsuyasumi it's a lot of what I long for in video games, as well as in life; joy and positive thinking without neglecting the critical attitude towards what we experience
just like its protagonist does (which is called Boku which translates as "I" from Japanese)
In a year where the megacorps of video games show off their prolonged mega-multimillion-dollar mega-productions with tyranny and disguise that simulate maturity, we need more honesty with the proposals, not only innovation and future but honesty and that way we ourselves will be more honest with the world around us
