This is eventually all going to get compiled into one megathread for people who want gaming recommendations from Chapos specifically. Other genres and years will come in sporadic subsequent threads. Please contribute to previous threads if you missed them. This is meant to be an exhaustive list.
Expanding on your choice(s) is definitely a plus. Not everyone knows about or has played non-mainstream titles.
Hello, this is the special edition of [Chapo Recommends]. We will be focusing on the best of 2020. I gave it a month so that people could finish up their backlogs of the stuff that came out last year. My computer is shit and the last console I purchased was the Playstation 3, so I look forward to playing your suggestions in 5 years. Feel free to add phone games if you want as well, since they've pretty much taken over mobile gaming anyway.
We will be back to our normal programming later this week.
Black Mesa had Xen added in 2020 and it's beautiful. It really proves to me the truth of Shigeru Miyamoto's quote: “A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever.”
Oh shit, it's finally out? Totally missed that, time to play through Black Mesa then.
Get hyped

Yes, the graphics look that good in game.
It was a pretty terrible year for games, the only one I can think of that I really enjoyed is Doom: Eternal. I don't know if it's the best, but it's definitely up at the top of the list.
I just replayed old games for most of the year. Hades and Doom were pretty good though.
I only played 2 games that game out in 2020, Fall Guys and Crusader Kings 3, so I'll go with CK3
However, Fallout New Vegas won my game of the year for the 10th year in row
Desperados III - it's pretty much a wild west reskin of Shadow Tactics, which itself was pretty much a remake of Commandos, but it's just really well done and having active pause is incredibly good
Crusader Kings III - Doesn't have all the features that II had with its million expansions, but it's a really solid foundation with way more content than II had on launch and it's really well thought-out. Still very much all about incest and child murder
Green Hell - I think it came out of early access in 2020 so I'm counting it. A bit like a jungle version of Subnautica, but with a heeeaaaaavy emphasis on survival and the million ways that the environment will try to kill you. Sweet if you're into that sort of thing.
Monster Train is an awesome deckbuilding game that came out this year, had a ton of fun playing it.
