Review: When The Past Was Around - The Perfect Video Game Tonic For 2020

Posted: 25 Dec 2020 06:30 AM PST

The last of something bright burning, still burning.

It's particularly affecting to play a game like When The Past Was Around as the most devastating year of many of our lives comes to its chaotic close. A lot of us have experienced personal loss in 2020, which makes this game's tasteful, cleverly-constructed exploration of the subject both welcome and, dare we say it, a little bit necessary.

Taking the form of a point-and-click puzzler, each scene reminded us of "escape room" titles and adjacent games such as the Room series, though here you've got more familiar domestic environments instead of Lament Configuration-style puzzle boxes. You'll be presented with an area, and must explore it thoroughly and solve its puzzles to find a way forward. It's not entirely dissimilar to a hidden object game, in fact, but everything's tied together very nicely in a way that removes the abstract, arbitary feeling you sometimes get from that genre.

A great year for games, at least.

2020 is all but over (good riddance!) and it's time to look back and survey the gaming battleground. Despite this year being a particularly ugly one for practically all of us, we've been lucky enough to enjoy some incredible games throughout the year which have helped to restore our spirits in our down time, enforced or otherwise.

Below you'll find the Top 50 Switch games of 2020 as ranked by readers of Nintendo Life. The order is governed by the User Ratings associated with every Switch game released in 2020 on our games database.

Feature: The Twelve Games Of Christmas - A Dozen Festive Memories

Posted: 25 Dec 2020 04:00 AM PST

The games of Christmas past.

As we're often told, Christmas is a special time of year, a season of goodwill, generosity and gift-giving. For gamers, festive memories are often tied in with the excitement of receiving a brand new game, perhaps something that released months ago that we had been waiting for, and sliding that lovely cart or disc into our console for the very first time.

Sometimes it's easy for one Christmas memory to blur into another — the same decorations, the same tree, the same people, music and post-meal drowsiness — but the first time you every played Ocarina of Time or that one when Grandad bowled you over in Wii Sports? Now that sticks in the memory!

Editorial: Merry Christmas And Happy Holidays From Nintendo Life

Posted: 25 Dec 2020 02:00 AM PST

What a year it's been...

When we wished you many happy returns this time last year, we had no idea we'd be typing the same message in 2020 during a global pandemic. Despite assurances that it would "all be over by Christmas," the world is still gripped by the COVID-19 outbreak, with little sign that 2021 is going to be much different.

(Wow. This is the most depressing Christmas message we've ever posted in the history of the site. Let's liven things up a little, shall we?)
