GI Show – Most Underrated Games Of 2020 And Back 4 Blood Impressions
On this week's episode of The Game Informer Show, we do something a little bit different. Instead of talking about all the games we've been playing recently, we look back over the year and talk about some of our favorite overlooked gems, such as: Chicken Police, Manifold Garden, Creaks, UnderMine, Gears Tactics, Monster Sanctuary, Necrobarista, Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, Huntdown, Morbid: The Seven Acolytes, Sakura Wars, Call of the Sea, The Last Campfire, Ikenfell, Monster Train.
Then we revisit The Game Award winners and settle a bet. We then take some time for another fantastic round of community emails. Finally, we close out the show with Alex Stadnik and Alex Van Aken who talk about their hands-on time with Turtle Rock Studios' upcoming 4-player zombie shooter Back 4 Blood. So please join Kim Wallace, Dan Tack, Marcus Stewart, Alex Stadnik, and myself for another wild and ever-entertaining episode!

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
