Throughout 2020, we found ourselves always looking for new activities to fill our time, and video games have proven as the most relaxing option. Some of them found viral popularity in the last few months, and 2020 simply wouldn’t be the same without these three.
Animal Crossing
Nintendo released Animal Crossing: New Horizons in late March, and it’s proven as a better time than ever for the game of this kind. It was the game that defined the early days of quarantine, and its sense of escapism put us at ease at the time when we needed it the most.
Fall Guys
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout’s chaotic battle royale-style gameplay didn’t stop it from becoming a huge hit, and it was actually its biggest strength. Unlike Animal Crossing, this game came out in the summer and the lockdowns eased up by that time, but it still managed to attract millions of players around the world.
Among Us
This space-themed social deduction game actually came out in 2018, but it took a while before it became a huge hit. Many well-known Twitch streamers and YouTubers started playing it in 2020, leading to its influx of popularity and cult status.
