Топ-15 лучших игр 2020 года по мнению редакции The Guardian

Следом за своими коллегами из профильных игровых порталов авторитетное британское издание The Guardian также подвело итоги 2020 года, составив список из 15 лучших игр последних двенадцати месяцев по версии редакции.

The Hades Yule log will warm your home with infernal flames

The winter holidays are upon us, and for me at least, that means it's time for two things: staying warm and thinking about the best games of 2020. Luckily, the folks at Supergiant Games are making it easy to do both at once with the House of Hades Yule log, a 12-hour broadcast straight from the home of Zagreus and the gang.

Okay, yes, it's actually just a 12-hour loop of a lovely little Hades-themed fireplace animation, but after the 13th consecutive workday of enduring Twitter's endless Cyberpunk 2077 discourse, this is exactly what I need. I've yet to watch the whole thing (did I mention it's 12 hours long?), but my fingers are crossed for Cerberus to make an eventual appearance. He's a good boy. You should pet him more.

"Looking ahead, we're excited to be able to stick together as a team, and keep making games," the devs say in a season's greetings blog. "While it's too early to say what's next for us as yet, we're really looking forward to figuring it out. For now, from all of us, we wish you a safe, restful, cozy, happy holiday season, and all the best in the coming year."

Hades: Nominated for Game of the Year!

EDIT: Congratulations to the winners of The Steam Awards! And our heartfelt thanks to everyone who voted for Hades. While we didn't quite get there, it's amazing to have been in the running.

On behalf of all of us at Supergiant Games, we are honored to see Hades nominated for Game of the Year in The Steam Awards! You had thousands of deserving games to choose from, ranging from some of the most spectacular blockbusters ever created, to some incredibly inventive titles from smaller teams like ours... and Hades made that short list. Thank you!! And now, voting begins to crown the winner.

We've been blown away by the accolades Hades has received thus far. It's been selected as 2020's Game of the Year by IGN, Polygon, Ars Technica, TIME Magazine, and The Washington Post, among others. It earned Best Action Game and Best Indie Game at The Game Awards, Best Action Game from PC Gamer, and Critics' Choice and Best Indie Game at the Golden Joystick Awards. This is an embarrassment of riches, well beyond what our previous games have achieved.

These accolades have demonstrated Hades has what it takes to really impress critics. So, how about you? If you think Hades deserves to win it all, we humbly ask for your vote for Game of the Year, here in The Steam Awards. It would mean so much to us.

Regardless of the outcome... our experience creating Hades, and launching it to such a warm and enthusiastic reception here, is something we will never forget. Having played Hades, you know that the blessings from the gods are key to keeping Zagreus going. In turn, your kind words and support -- your blessings -- have inspired us throughout development, and we're very grateful to be in this position at all.

So, thank you again. We hope you have a safe and restful holiday, filled with wonderful games.
