VGChartz's Brand J Wysocki: "Disappointing is a particularly interesting and subjective category. Although in truth it’s really not much, if any, less subjective than 'Best'. That segues nicely into something that warrants being addressed - as you look through some of our other Game of the Year articles, you may notice certain games appearing on those lists as well as this one. As counterintuitive (or even outright wrong) as that may seem, it speaks to the aforementioned subjectivity, as well as the diversity of our staff and audience.
Disappointment is correlated to expectations, and expectations are a product of any number of factors, most of which are idiosyncratic. Beyond that, there are so many variables in how each game is ultimately experienced and enjoyed. A quick and fitting example would be performance and other technical issues that may be unique to a particular platform."
Cyberpunk 2077 was launched in a sorry state on PC and consoles in the 2020 holiday season. Since then, CD Projekt Red has worked hard to optimize the game for various hardware, including the Ryzen 8000 APUs, and the Steam Deck handheld.
Cyberpunk 2077's lead quest designer tells DualShockers exactly why there's no NG+.
"It’s incredibly difficult to figure out a way where New Game Plus could be done in a way that doesn’t completely break the way the game is constructed,"
Yet in 2020 i had this mode via a mod they are actually saying that your powers can screw up v's infection for those unaware pre the big update so it might not be a thing anymore but if you maxed out v with save editor your character would get sick see johnny all that but still would be in the first part.
Here is a very old vid of mine you can see how it can screw up the game

So they could do it if they did not spend years making a mess of everything then last minute toss a game out half done.

TLOU 2 and Cyberpunk don't belong in such a list.
Warcraft III: Reforged came out so early last year that I forgot it even came out in 2020.
Lol at TLOU2 being compared to the broken POS that is Cyberpunk for disappointing game of the year.
Those 2 don’t belong anywhere near each other
Its an opinion, but putting there TLOU2 is just stupid. Even if you dont like the story, it wasnt one of the most disapointing games of 2020. Of course that for everybody that wanted another pink story..., but in that reality the story makes perfect sense. Sooner or later you will pay the price of what you did. This was the only game last year able to move me in terms of emotions. beside that, it got next gen graphics and runs without problems on PS4 (OG). Just crazy.
The Last Of Us 2 had Great, Graphics, Gameplay, Sound design (for the most part) and almost glitch free. But that story was so garbage it almost negates all the positives of the game. Even with being able to skip cut scenes the game is a drag to playthrough again. The Narrative of the game is a FAIL. Everything else is pretty good though.
