Mortal Shell by Cold Symmetry seemingly popped its head up out of nowhere, and could very well be the biggest surprise of 2020. The year has been filled with quality games right from the start, and more are yet to come.

Mortal Shell is a visually stunning game from the get-go, and while it does bring potential players in with a gorgeous art style, it also punishes ruthlessly. In the vein of a myriad of soulslike games, Mortal Shell is quickly making a name for itself in the gaming community.

While some people still eagerly await Elden Ring from FromSoftware, for fans looking to scratch that soulslike-shaped itch, Mortal Shell might be their best bet.
