welcome to watch mojo
and today we're counting down our picks
for the top 10 hidden gem
games of 2020
[Applause]
for this list we'll be looking at games
you might have missed this year but
should definitely check out let us know
in the comments section below
which game you think everyone should
play first
now on to some hidden gems
number 10 dreams
[Music]
there was major hype for this title
leading up to its release
so it's unfortunate that sales dwindled
rapidly
after its successful first month this
game is perfect for the creatives out
there who
aren't fulfilled by merely playing games
and would rather have some sort of
artistic input
[Music]
the tools you have at your disposal and
dreams can be used to create
vastly different adventures the feeling
of having your work out there and
enjoyed by others around the world
is both a rewarding and humbling
experience
it's also a great title to try out if
you've ever considered a career in game
[Music]
development
number nine blood roots
[Music]
if you're a fan of the hotline miami
games you'll love this
blood roots tells a mature and engaging
story
of revenge its dark themes and bloody
action appear to limit its audience at
first
until you pick up a carrot or chicken to
kill your enemies with
the combination of the wacky and
lighthearted approach with its grisly
concept works
really well here and the game's
addictive gameplay loops give it serious
replay value
even after spending many hours on the
title you'll always have a good time
trying to increase your score
or learning to master a new weapon
number eight deep rock galactic
there is a sea of four player co-op
games out now so it's not surprising
that so many people missed
deep rock galactic the game doesn't
revolutionize the formula
but the fresh aesthetic accompanied by
its unique style and humor
make it a blast to play
continuous shooting can sometimes get
boring so the game gives you various
objectives to keep things interesting
whether you can convince three other
buddies to get this game with you
or go the online matchmaking route the
results
are likely to be the same you'll wish
you'd pick this game up sooner
number seven carrion
we've spent decades playing as the hero
gunning down
monstrous creatures it's about time we
took control of the monster
and got revenge the fluidity of the
movement and carrying allows you to
slither and jump around the map
engulfing scientists or ripping them to
shreds
and as morbid as it sounds it's also a
hell of a lot of fun
having no map can make it tough to
traverse the areas
but it wouldn't make much sense for a
monster to consult a map anyway now
would it
as you navigate the facility you'll be
rewarded
with upgrades or shortcuts so don't be
too scared to explore
number six kentucky route zero
tv edition
now that the fifth and final act is out
gamers can experience
this intriguing and surreal adventure
from start to finish
with no interruptions the game is
essentially
one long point-and-click dialogue driven
narrative
while this might not sound like the most
exciting of descriptions
the dialogue options presented to you
are quite extensive
allowing you to feel like you're really
a part of the story
the game realizes that the style of game
may limit a player base
so it aims to make up the difference in
its distinct narrative approach
because you get to watch it play out in
a stunning art style and from unique
perspectives
the experience feels fresh from start to
finish
[Music]
number five hot shot racing
[Applause]
while its visuals may not appeal to
everyone there's no denying that
developers
really nailed the nostalgia angle in
designing this arcade racer
it's a simple yet fun game and its
arcadey nature makes it accessible
even to casual gamers
[Applause]
that being said the game also allows you
to take it seriously should you want to
try your hand at the hardest difficulty
drifting is the highlight here it's easy
to pull off but incredibly satisfying
it's a short single player experience
but a few different game modes and the
four player split screen
will keep you coming back
number four streets of rage four
[Music]
there seems to be a pattern forming here
and we're not complaining
arcade-like games that draw inspiration
from gaming's earlier days
just seem to work as long as they're
well made and streets of rage 4
is just an extremely competent
beat-em-up
[Music]
learning combos is rewarding and the
game encourages you to use them
as you have the ability to regain health
lost if you can pull them off
the series has been going on for a while
but the addition of two new characters
with unique and creative move sets
ensures that this newest installment
feels fresh
number three journey to the savage
planet
so get out there take those space lemons
and make
space lemonade this is the perfect
adventure for those looking to scratch
their itch to explore
planet ary 26 is teeming with life and
structures to investigate
there is an air of mystery and a sense
of wonder as you strive to uncover the
secret behind the planet's previous
inhabitants
[Music]
while the strange and often funny
creatures are truly fascinating
the game's characters and quirkiness
will have you chuckling quietly to
yourself as you play
you're essentially living in a sci-fi
comedy and there's something here for
everyone to enjoy
you can explore puzzle solve and blast
hostile creatures to smithereens
sounds perfect to me
number two ghost runner what path is
that
one free from mara in her reign of
terror
this one's cyberpunk themed for some of
you
that alone will probably be enough to
convince you to pick it up
what we have here is a fast-paced action
adventure
in which every encounter you come across
is a puzzle to solve
if you hope to come out alive
your timing has to be impeccable but if
you slip up
an instant respawn will put you straight
back in
slicing up your enemies is a blast and
just when you think you've figured out
your traversal and enemies weaknesses
the game will change it up
before we unveil our top pick you know
there are a few other hidden gems out
there we couldn't fit the list
so here are a few honorable mentions
below
because it's a moody and atmospheric
dungeon crawler
[Music]
the last campfire because it was
delivered exactly as promised
he looked at ember hopeful
the fisherman spoke softly there's a
frog in that pond
rock of ages three make and break
because of destructive mayhem duh
[Music]

number one hades
[Music]
i'm leaving
try and stop me it's a hidden gem
one of the best games of 2020 and if
we're being honest
arguably one of the greatest games in
the past decade
hades is a roguelike experience with
fantastic art and super fun combat
as expected you'll die a lot forcing you
to restart your journey
but you will be a bit stronger every
time dying is actually part of the story
here as opposed to just being a gameplay
mechanic
as you navigate the underworld other
characters expect you to meet your
demise
and their taunts will compel you to try
again only harder
it's a long journey so strap yourself in
let's deal some death in the mood for
more awesome gaming content
