The BEST Game Of February 2020 (According To Critics)
2020 isn’t exactly off to a roaring start in terms of great new video games, but that’s usually the case when we’re so early into the new year. While there have been a handful of games that are certainly worth checking out, there hasn’t been an absolute must-play game release… until now. In this article we reveal the best game of February 2020 and the first must-play game of the year according to critics.
If you’ve been paying attention to game reviews or even the YouTube scene, then you’ll likely have an idea of what the game is. Despite being in the headlines for a long time thanks to a beta period last year, the first must-play game of 2020 is none other than Media Molecule’s PS4-exclusive Dreams. It currently has a 90% average on OpenCritic, which easily allows it to stand alone as the best game so far this year. Dreams is hard to really put into a category, because it is simultaneously in a category of its own while also being a part of every category imaginable.
If that last sentence confused you, it’s because Dreams is a game where the player creates their own content via a deep and intuitive game creation engine. Thus, the game truly can be whatever the player wants it to be, from whimsical platformer to an intense FPS and everything in between. The game can be as simple or complex as you want it to be, which is a big part of what makes it so special.
The best part about Dreams is the fact that you are able to upload your creations for others to play, similar to what a game like Super Mario Maker offers. However, the tools offered here allow for so much more freedom. It’s a joy to simply scroll through all of the different (and often bizarre) creations that users have come up with, whether it be a short troll clip that is just there for quick laugh or an in-depth platformer experience that would give fully-fledged AAA games a run for their money.
You never know exactly what to expect when it comes to the all of the different creations that users have come up with, and that’s its main appeal. Considering that the developer has intentions of supporting this game for a very long time, it’s exciting to think about the creations that users will eventually come up with as they become more adept with the tools and more features are added. Regardless of where it eventually ends up, as it stands it is currently the first must-play game of 2020 and the best game of February 2020 easily.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games
Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.
In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.
According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.
In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!
Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Shift Up unveils the intriguing details behind the physical packaging of Stellar Blade for the PS5
It appears that many
are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.
We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.
