New year; a sequel to the game that you hardly remember.

The three-player game that has been announced-just like our last part, Vampire: Masquerade-Bloodlines 2, Dying Light 2, Halo Infinite and Eternal Destruction-Just the tip of the iceberg 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Although many of the most watched games in 2019, such as Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Disco Elysium, Outer Wilds, Outer Worlds, Control and Death Stranding have brought us to a convincing New world (or wilderness), but 2020 will bring back familiar faces of the value of the yearbook. Do you know what that means? You may have a lot of work to do, and we are here to help.
Below, you can find a list of all the biggest sequels in a year, and the estimated number of hours of mainline games you want to catch up (using the All Styles estimate from HowLongToBeat.com). In addition, we have bolded the game, which may affect the story of this year's iteration. If you know that you don't have time to catch up with these games, we will also provide short episodes and getting started in these games.

The story has never been the main focus of Doom-co-creator John Carmack once famously compared the plot of a video game to the plot of a pornographic movie, but id's latest photography does contain a lot about Its location, character and monster lore.
In Doom (2016), a group of United Aerospace scientists stationed on Mars seeks to solve the energy crisis on Earth by drawing on the power of hell.

Plot and gameplay: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild begins with Link's awakening after sleeping for 100 years in a huge and dangerous Hyrule. The wild breath completely reproduced the formula of the legend of Zelda. The superlinear structure of past games has exploded, replaced by open games, which allow players to play Ganon in the first hour possible. The traditional dungeon was eliminated, replaced by a roaming mechanical giant, and players were required to penetrate and manipulate to solve difficult problems. A chemical engine was introduced to enable surprising systemic interactions and emergencies.
Like most other series, Breath of the Wild ends in the same sequence as the rest of The Legend of Zelda, but it is very different from everything before. This is an independent adventure-there are very few direct sequels in The Legend of Zelda. Having said that, the next "Zelda" title that Switch has not yet named is a direct continuation of its predecessor-for various intents and purposes, it is a sequel to "Break of the Wild 2", which follows Followed by some other direct sequels. Series such as "Phantom Hourglass", "The Connection between the World" and "Majora's Mask". By the way, this is why the HLTB list does not contain about 20 games.
Given that this will be a fairly simple sequel to Nintendo's 2017 masterpiece, you may not need to spend a lot of time learning about the awesome content of The Legend of Zelda, not just Breath of the Wild. If you don't have the time, you can get started quickly: Link and Zelda defeated Ganon and set about rebuilding Hyrule-the trailer for this game shows the two have found a terrible petrified skeleton that looks like Ganondorf. Curious …

Plot and gameplay: The Assassin's Creed series was soft-restarted in 2017 by Origins, set by Egypt, largely based on RPG elements, using color-coded loot, a large open world like the Witcher 3 and soul-like battles. Odyssey followed closely, bringing adventures to Greece, expanding maps and hours, and often a very large game. Each Assassin's Creed game contains some sort of modern viewfinder, and the first two games follow former Abstergo researcher Layla Hassan, who left the organization after working to make a living and worked with the Assassin. If there are any signs of past games in the series, the next Assassin's Creed may tell its own independent story while continuing Layla's narrative beyond Anima.
If this is not enough to keep you here this year, please know this: Before the rumored Black Ops 5, you will need 122 hours to play every Call of Duty event, and it will take 80 hours to Sprint Nioh to prepare for Nioh 2, 17.5 hours to play Psychonauts and its VR sequel, "Rhombuses in Ruins", and it will take at least 43 hours to catch up to "Dying Light". Oh, and before the testament will appear next month, please reserve 10 hours to play in Ori and the blind forest.
On the independent side, you may also want to revisit Spelunky, Little Nightmares and Axiom Verge before the sequel comes out. And, if you have never played a No More Heroes game, you will have an undisclosed period before No More Heroes 3 arrives sometime in 2020.
As we said above, this has many sequels. And, we have almost no expectations related to the next-generation console. The recent delay is disappointing, but for games with numbers in the title, sooner or later 2020 will be a hell year.
