Animal Crossing: New Horizons was just the right kind of game that many people were looking for in 2020 — a cozy play space to enjoy and connect with others.

You can die from a couple of hits, but most of the time it’s easy to recover.

As expected, the sales for Hogwarts Legacy were through the roof , with some sources indicating that the game has sold over 34 million copies to date (although this number hasn't been officially confirmed by Warner Bros.).
