NHL 20 is here... but is it better than last year’s edition?

Corwin and DZ recently got their hands on this year’s game, and they gave it a good trial run before releasing their own review of the game. Seriously, they were in the office late into the AM hours, just running Chel. Sort of wild.

Alumni teams, the Eliminator mode, and of course, smoother gameplay are some of the additions to NHL 20 over last year’s game. NHL 19 got an 8.0 from us, so how did this year’s edition do?

Corwin and DZ run through the seven things you should know about NHL 20.

 

A 7.5 verdict is the final verdict for this year’s game. It’s fun! If you’re a hardcore Chel fan, you’ve probably already bought the game. If you're a casual fan curious about getting back into the series, though, there may not be enough new additions to get the full recommendation.

As DZ puts it, it’s the best playing hockey game out on the market, but it’s not that different from last year’s best playing hockey game on the market.
