How do you have a 2020 Roundup? A year that has put the Annus in Annus Horribulus. The ongoing pandemic notwithstanding its been a year where everybody seems to have shared tragedy on some level.

It is also the most ‘gamey’ of games to have been landed recently, which will ultimately be in its favour. That said, there was something keeping me from plumbing its depths.
