The Best Co-op Games of 2020
Second Runner-up: Animal Crossing New Horizons
Staff Writer Andrew McMahon: Animal Crossing New Horizons was the saving grace of hardcore and casual gamers alike in 2020. Not only did this life-sim distract them from the outside world, but it also helped many fill the social void that occurred due to quarantining and staying inside.
At the height of the unknown for this pandemic, there was no better distraction than going to a friend’s island to see their set up or trying to trade with them. Thanks to social media, plenty of people even visited stranger’s islands to get a good deal on their special turnip pricing.
If you need any further convincing on just how big of an impact Animal Crossing New Horizon’s co-op had when it came to socializing for gamers in 2020, look no further than Twinfinite’s own staff.
This game’s stock market-like turnip pricing system was so entrancing and addicting that an entire slack channel was taken over at Twinfinite and devoted to talking about bell prices.
