Editor Top 10 Picks Of 2020

You already know our staff-wide Top 10 Games of 2020, but that list doesn't paint the whole picture. As you might imagine, these lists are often hard-fought battles over many hours as members of our staff struggle to squeeze their favorites onto our official list. Unfortunately, not every game we played and loved over the course of the year can be represented in the official Game Informer list, which is why we put together these editor-specific top 10s.

Below you'll see the top 10 games of the year for each editor, so check out our personal favorites and see which staff members' tastes most align with yours. Also, while you're here, feel free to drop your own top 10 in the comments section!
