It's a heartwarming role, but one that comes with plenty of sad gut punches too. In Spiritfarer, you're that friend, aiding spirits in their final moments before they completely pass on to the afterlife. Handling grief, regrets, and shame can be hard, but it can be easier to deal with if you have a friend. And as it concludes, Half-Life: Alyx hits you with something unforgettable, transcending VR tropes for one of gaming's greatest moments." Even when familiarity starts to settle in, its gameplay systems still shine as a cohesive whole. It may not be as bombastic as previous games, but the intimacy of VR brings you closer to a world you might have thought you knew over the past 22 years. In GameSpot's Half-Life: Alyx review, Michael Higham gave the game a 9/10, writing, "Not only has Half-Life: Alyx made good on its shift to VR, it has elevated many of the aspects we've come to love about Half-Life games.

This game takes full advantage of VR tech, immersing players into a realized world as opposed to just plopping them down into a 3D space. If you've yet to invest in VR because you were waiting for a good enough reason to do so (we feel you, headsets are mad expensive), then look no further than Half-Life: Alyx. Half-Life: Alyx is that for virtual reality headsets. Every jump in technology requires a pull-something to encourage potential customers into believing why it's worth buying in. They're the reason we keep trying, and the reason we keep coming back." But what matters so much more are all the moments between the start and end of a story, and the people who help us see those climactic moments but also stick with us between them. I'm sure there's a point where, after running through hell enough times, I'll have seen all Hades has to offer, both in its clever and endless fights and its many alluring characters, intimate moments, and rewarding quests. They're protracted, often unsatisfying, and are hard to find real closure in, and the fact that Hades understands this is its greatest strength. In GameSpot's Hades review, Suriel Vazquez gave the game a 9/10, writing, "Like in the Greek myths Hades takes inspiration from, endings aren't tidy, and they're almost never final. Hades is always progressing forward, sometimes with minor steps and other times with major jumps, regardless of whether you fail or succeed, encouraging you to keep playing even after messing up. Characters respond to his failed attempts to escape the Underworld, his successes in progress, his growing strength with every run, and his choices in how he fights. When protagonist Zagreus dies, his story continues. It's hard to recover from a "game over" screen-it almost exists as an easy stopping point for players, allowing them to resume the game from a checkpoint on another day. In any other game-especially a roguelike-"game over" would traditionally signal the end of something. Hades is a marvelous game, largely for how it subverts the expectations of the "game over" screen. Then on Thursday, December 17, we'll reveal which one is named GameSpot's Best Game of 2020.
