There’s no nodkrai Character greater a highlight than a moment around fifteen-ish hours into wandering the world. Having already established the omnipresent “the world is one big environmental puzzle” motif at the heart of Genshin Impact and successfully completing a near two kilometre trek to a new region, to activate another beacon filling in more of the map, only to spot one of thousands of optional collectibles atop an incline of rocks; a few seconds of climbing later and off in the distance, another beacon. A subtle indicator — of which the game does a great job at allowing players to organically discover parts for themselves — that hinted not only towards another environmental conundrum, but also of what may lie beyond. Even then: what other little moments will distract me. It’s a truly great, out-of-the-blue moment but another point in Genshin Impact’s favor. How, indeed like Breath of the Wild before it, the journey becomes as pivotal and as fulfilling as the destination. Ultimately, the marvel of seeing yet another perspective on the vast world before you. Before long, you’re ready to plot another course and begin that journey all over again.

As you can see, there has been a diverse line-up of video games to be thankful for this past year. Let us know one of your favorite releases of 2020 in the comments below and share how it may have impacted your life in any way!

When the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild launched in 2017 it was praised for its action, storyline, open-world and more. It has become the epitome of what a Zelda game could and should be. And while all that is terrific, some answers remained a mystery until the recent release of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. Here, we find out about the events that occurred leading up to Ganon’s takeover of Hyrule. It bridges the gap between past and present. Plus, getting to play as some of the Champions, Zelda herself and others from the series, is a dream come true. It was a surprise when the game was announced since the first Hyrule Warriors came out in 2014 as its own original title. But basing this version off of pre-existing content adds tons of new tidbits for fans to enjoy. Plus, Age of Calamity gives us something to do before the release of Breath of the Wild’s sequel. This is why I am thankful for the game; it satisfies the need and want for more Zelda.

My normal taste in games leans towards arcade and action, but this year has been one where the extra focus to hone in on pinpoint-perfect reflexes just hasn’t been as available as I’d like. Instead I’ve been taking it easy, using gaming as a way to relax and escape into a more manageable world. The game that I’m thankful for this year is SnowRunner, which doesn’t have an enemy anywhere in the whole world but instead requires the player to use its tools to complete a huge series of jobs across hostile terrain. While sorting out the controls takes some effort, once learned there are a huge amount of tools available to tackle even the roughest wilderness. Mountain tracks carved by streams, muddy bogs, rivers frozen solid and snowdrifts that even the highest-traction tires can’t get a grip on all stand in the way of delivering Cargo to Place. You can tackle the challenges with brute force, careful plotting of the optimal route or relying on the winch to basically drag the truck to the goal, but there’s always a way if you’re patient enough. Few events are timed and just about everything is optional if you decide that a particular job feels like a bit much. There’s pressure in navigating the tougher areas, of course, but otherwise SnowRunner is a game of choosing a task and tackling it however you like, driving across the beauty of a wilderness that’s just barely been touched by humans. It’s challenging, sure, but also relaxing and satisfying, and I’m thankful there are games that let me unwind into a simpler, more-focused world.
