Top 5 Google Stadia Games of 2020

Despite its high expectation Google Stadia had a disappointing launch with only a handful of games and just a few of the long-listed features. While many features are still being improved, Google has announced that it will expand Stadia’s library by adding more games.

Now that Google will release a great variety of games on Stadia, let’s check out the top five games coming this year.

Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world action-adventure set in Night City, a megalopolis obsessed with strength, glamor, and body modification. Anyone can personalize their characters' Cyberware, skill sets, and play styles.

Though the game was set to launch this year, it was delayed to September in April.

SteamWorld Franchise

Google Stadia’s next set of games is one of the best since it’s all about the Image & Form SteamWorld series.

It includes SteamWorld Dig, SteamWorld Dig 2, SteamWorld Heist, and SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamesh. They sound similar, but these are very different games in the same steampunk robot universe.

SteamWorld Dig and SteamWorld Dig 2 are 2D Metroidvania-style action platformers where players have to dig and create their own paths with their trusty pickaxe. SteamWorld Heist is primarily a turn-based tactical game. SteamWorld Quest is a card-based RPG set in a stereotypical high-fantasy world. SteamWorld Dig 2 and SteamWorld Quest will be available via Stadia pro and all four games will be on the Stadia store soon.

Doom Eternal

Doom Eternal by Id Software has the best-looking shooters. It’s developed from the ground up for the low-level Vulkan graphics API, which potentially makes it a match made in heaven for Google’s Stadia program, which focuses on Linux and Vulkan because of its technology backbone.

Doom Eternal’s console success is already a big achievement, and that applies to Stadia as well. The actual performance level on the hardware side always stays at 60fps, which helps provide a good baseline on which to operate.

Set eight months after Doom 2016, the apocalyptic invasion has invaded about 60 percent of Earth. It’s mainly up to your itchy trigger finger to help turn the tide with the powerless Earth Military.

Baldur’s Gate 3

The expected Baldur’s Gate 3 can be released this year. This is the first time that a release window has been attached to BG3 since it was revealed by Larian Studios in June last year, ahead of E3 2019.

Meanwhile, Larian Studio was swift to respond, though the uncertainty over the release date of BG3 could not be fully explained.

Previously, Larian Studios said on 27 February that it would announce something about Baldur’s Gate 3. Maybe the developer expected a big reveal of the game's release date, but Google Stadia jumped the gun and included the game in its latest blog post.

Marvel’s Avengers

It looks like the Marvel Avengers game from Square Enix is heading over to Google Stadia. A game ad placed in front of the official unveiling of the title at E3 displays Stadia branding alongside the logos of PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

Marvel’s Avengers is an action-adventure third-person game that incorporates an original, immersive story with one-player and cooperative play.
