Following the incredibly successful community vote for Push Square Readers' Game of the Year 2019, we're back once again to look at the year ahead. It's been said time and time again, but 2020 truly is shaping up to be quite the year for PlayStation 4 thanks to a number of hotly anticipated games launching before the arrival of Sony's next-generation console -- the PlayStation 5.
Last week, we asked you to vote for the three PS4 games you're most hyped about and below you'll find those results. It's worth noting once again that the likes of Beyond Good & Evil 2 and Elden Ring were not included in the Push Square community vote as neither are confirmed to be releasing in 2020. So, what games are you most looking forward to playing in 2020? Let's find out.
10. Dreams - 93 votes (2% of total vote)
9. Watch Dogs Legion - 146 votes (3%)
8. DOOM Eternal - 156 votes (3%)
7. Dying Light 2 - 158 votes (3%)
6. Marvel's Avengers - 168 votes (3%)
5. Resident Evil 3 - 339 votes (6%)
Resident Evil 2 only just missed out on top spot when you lot voted for your most anticipated PS4 games of 2019, so it makes sense that its sequel would put in an appearance on this list a year later. Resident Evil 3 is another remake of a PSone classic, this time bringing with it Jill Valentine's attempted escape of Raccoon City. Capcom has stated that it plans to make more drastic changes here than it did with Leon S. Kennedy's faithful reimagining, but it'll surely result in an even better experience. Resident Evil 3 is one of the standout titles of 2020, and we're just as excited to get our hands on it as you are.
4. Final Fantasy VII Remake - 548 votes (10%)
Nearly five years after its announcement, Final Fantasy VII Remake is almost here. The second remake to feature on this list brings one of the greatest video games of all time into the modern era -- well, about a third of it at least. It's clear that Push Square readers cannot wait to return to Midgar and take control of Cloud Strife once more in battle against Sephiroth, complete with a new action-based combat system and an expanded city to rummage through. It's been a long time coming, where at points we weren't sure it would even see the light of day, but Final Fantasy VII Remake is less than two months away from its PS4 release. The reunion at hand may bring joy, it may bring fear. But let us embrace whatever it brings for they are coming back.
3. Ghost of Tsushima - 841 votes (15%)
First-party developer Sucker Punch Productions has been in hiding ever since it capped off its PlayStation 3 franchise with inFAMOUS: Second Son in 2014. Ghost of Tsushima is its next blockbuster title, and while pre-release footage has yet to fully prove itself, the potential is off the charts. Every Sony studio has seemingly evolved alongside the PS4 as they produce better titles than ever before, and it looks like this will be the turn of the Washington-based studio. With a unique setting, deep and complex gameplay, and stunning visuals, Ghost of Tsushima has all the makings of a very, very special experience.
2. Cyberpunk 2077 - 921 votes (17%)
Cyberpunk 2077 is a game that needs no introduction. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt developer CD Projekt Red is back once again to redefine the RPG genre as it takes a classic tabletop experience and turns it into what is already a major contender for Game of the Year 2020. Geralt of Rivia's adventures across Novigrad, Skellige, and Kaer Morhen already prove that the Polish studio has the ability to produce something outstanding, but Cyberpunk 2077 has the potential to be even better. More than seven years in the making, it's a game primed to raise the bar all over again as it inspires a new generation of RPGs on the PS5.
1. The Last of Us: Part II - 1097 votes (20%)
Sony's best first-party developer is here to see out the PS4 generation in style. The Last of Us: Part II, the follow up to what many believe to be the best video game of the last decade, is the Push Square readers' most anticipated PS4 game of 2020. Ellie and Joel are back once again to deal with anyone who does them wrong in a rather bloodthirsty manner, paving the way for yet another groundbreaking narrative from Naughty Dog. We can't wait to see what the studio has in store for us when its late May release date rolls around -- Clickers, gameplay additions, incredible characters and all. Yeah, we're there along with you: The Last of Us: Part II rightfully tops this list.

Not bad, not bad at all.
''Geralt of Rivia's adventures across Novigrad, Skellige, and Kaer Morhen...''
How dare you leave out my beloved White Orchard?
Tho i have to admit i chuckled a little bit at the ''again to redefine the RPG genre'' part.
Pretty good list overall, among the mentioned games i'm very much excited for Wasteland 3 and Mount and Blade; Bannerlord.
A live service Avengers game gets in, and Yakuza misses out 😭 There is no justice in this world.
@DominatorV93 If Bannerlord ever comes out, I’ll personally throw a party. I swear that game’s been in development as long as I’ve been playing M&B on PC.
This is really the sickest year for games I can remember for a longgggggggg time!
The Last of Us Part II at number one and in second place is Cyberpunk 2077, for my list and that's as far as it goes. Where is the article on game of the decade tho? That poll has been open for a while.
After a pretty unspectacular 2019 line-up (by recent years' standards at least), 2020's GOTY vote is going to be brutal.
That's a fair list.
@nessisonett ''If Bannerlord ever comes out...''
@DominatorV93 Skellige music is probably the best in gaming! Hell, much of The Witcher 3 is probably the best in gaming. I swear I’m gonna boot run it back again. Would be my 4th playthrough. I’ve never played a game over like that unless I have to for a difficulty trophy.
Dark Cloud 3🤞🏾🤞🏾
At the top of my list would be Resident Evil 3, Doom Eternal, Cyberpunk and Final Fantasy VII.
Other games I'd have on my list would be Persona 5 Royal, Trials of Mana and I'm quite looking forward to the new Lego Star Wars game
@AhmadSumadi Yup, them female vocals were perfect, still listen to it ocasionally (especially Skellige soundtrack).
Tho i liked the game and it's dlc, i unfortunately never achieved the same love as some fans have for the game.
And despite the gripes i have for the game, i have to admit It certainly set a standard for open-world design and side-quests narrative.
RE 3, TLOU 2, Ghost of Tsushima, FF VII Remake, Marvel Avengers are games i looking forward to buy and play
👻 ghost of tshushima for the win.word up son
Cyberpunk 2077 by quite a long distance for me. I'm keeping my gaming calendar clear before and after for this bad boy.
Man, this is a stacked lineup. So many awesome titles coming this year.
Only PushSquare would rank an interactive movie above Doom Eternal smh.
Apart from Dreams and Marvels Avengers I am hyped for all of these titles, would loved to have seen the new Lego Star Wars game get some love here, but you can't have everything.
My voted top 3 was exactly the same as the actual top 3 so I must be part of the Playstation hive mind.
Im actually only really hyped for the last of us 2 this year and two point hospital although tph is 35 on release so might pick it up on sale. will probably pick up cyberpunk ang gohst of T. But saying that last year wasnt really hyped for much games but bought days gone on a whim shortly after release and loved it, same with death stranding. And the same for year before with rdr2 and spiderman. So will probably pick up most of the games on that list at somepoint. At least i have a few months now to clear my backlog, around halfway through god of war at moment, then ni no kuni or outer worlds.
My top 5 are:
1) Cyberpunk 2077;
2) Ghost of Tsushima;
3) The Last of Us Part 2;
4) Final Fantasy VII;
5) Dying Light 2.
I really loved the first The Last of Us but it's hard to beat a cyberpunk RPG and a Ninja/Samurai games.
My top 5 are:
1. Watch Dogs Legion
2. DOOM Eternal
3. Dying Light 2
4. Resident Evil3
5. Cyberpunk 2077
I put Cyperpunk2077 last becouse its gonna be a PS5 game and not PS4 game for me. Final Fantasy VII is gonna be released episodic so i expect a PS5 complete edition. then it will deserve a place on the list too but not before, i just hate episodic releases of games. Ghost of Tsushima looks like a dark sould type of game so not interested. The Last of Us Part 2, i have just had enough of ND and their politic agenda bs, so i am not interested to be force feed their bs for 70hrs play time.
