But 2021 promises some wonderful games too, including many we hoped we’d be playing already. From the chill lifestyle simulation of Animal Crossing: New Horizons to the just-one-more-run addictiveness of Hades to the virtual tourism of Microsoft Flight Simulator, there was a lot to enjoy while sequestered indoors. While 2020 was a rough year for, well, just about everything and everyone, many of us found refuge in games.
And you’re right to be hopeful that this year will be better than the last.
If you’re reading this, congratulations: You made it to 2021.
