As the trash-filled year of 2020 finally decides to wrap up, we're taking a moment to look꧒ back on the last🗹 12 months. While it's been a pretty awful year all-round, you can't deny that it's been a pretty impressive year for games.

2020 has seen some really great games step into the limelight despite the constant flow of coronavirus-induced obstacles, often re🐽sulting in repeated release date delays and staff retrenchments. This year, we've nevertheless seen some games and franchises both new and old absolutely explode in popularity, and this is inevitably reflected in Google's search trends.

Among Us isn't the only indie title on the top ten list - there's of course the wildly popular 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout coming in at number two on the list. But what makes Among Us particularly impressive (or should I say, particularly sus), is that it only really blew up this year after having 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:already been out there for two years.

Obviously with the wa💙ves of global lockdowns came the n🅠eed for people to seek closeness in other ways, such as hopping onboard a virtual spacecraft and accusing each other of murder.

Among Us also won both 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the award for Best Mobile Game and Best Multiplayer Game at yesterday's Game Awards 2020 (where the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:new Airship map was also introduced). An incre𝕴dible r🥂epertoire of achievements for an indie game that came out two years ago.
