This year's GameSpot countdown has finally come to a close, with Valve's Half-Life: Alyx claiming our coveted Game of the Year award. While every game we've highlighted in our Best Of 2020 awards is exceptional, there are still so many others worth discussing. As such, we're taking the chance to present our staff's picks for the 2020 Editor's Spotlight Awards, which showcases games that didn't make it into our top 10 list or category awards but we still loved.

GameSpot's multi-disciplinary team is diverse and varied when it comes to our tastes in games, so you'll find quite an interesting mix of things below. We guarantee that each game we've listed is well worth your time and bound to leave an impression on you.

Which games do you think stand up as some of the best this year? Let us know in the comments below. Otherwise, read on to see our picks for this year's Editor's Spotlight Awards.
