How we choose Best Games Of 2020 For PC?
There are so many factors that appear when we say a game “Best”. A good video game should provide players continuous challenges to keep them “hooked” on playing the game. An interesting storyline is important as well. If the storyline is good, then other mistakes will not be as much consideration. Also, a good game must have good flexibility and if it is an open-world game then it is highly considered. Lastly is the fun that’s why we play videogames. If you get your required fun & entertainment in a particular game, nothing matters more than that. These bulk of games are designed for all of these features in mind so I think, they are definitely the Best Video Games Of 2020.

In the open world category Assassin’s Creed® Valhalla is the second-best game from my perspective. I know all the games in the Assassin’s Creed franchise are very popular and awesome on their time but I think this time Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is a bit underrated because of the most hyped game of this year Cyberpunk 2077. Become Eivor, a legendary Viking warrior on a quest for glory.
