Not a vintage year for gaming, with publishers clearly holding things back for the next gen. Still, there's no such thing as a bad year in the world of games, with numerous classics being released. Here are my favourites of the lot.

The masters at From Software crafted their best combat engine to date and married it to some of their best world design. Plus, you have a grappling hook. What's not to love?
A lovely counterpart to From's exacting, punishing Sekiro. Capcom excels at over the top nonsense and DMC 5 is a stunning return to form for the series.
At their best Capy Games makes quality games like few others and this is them at their very best.
2019 - the year the internet overflowed with love for all its beautiful anime children. Apparently there was a tactical game in there somehwere, too.
Hero/Villain of the year.
Being a Kojima game of course the plot goes completely off the rails. Before drowning the player in cutscenes near the end though, Death Stranding gives us 30-50 hours to wander its Iceland-inspired wastes with nothing to do except deliver over-sized packages. And what lovely 30-50 hours those were.
or: How to remake a classic game by updating all the out-of-date parts but keeping the good bits intact.
For fun times of couch co-op, look no further than Borderlands 3.
Didn't finish this one in time for the new year but the first 8 hours or so were a lovely little Star Wars action adventure.
Didn't play enough of this incredibly charming game but its undeniable quality is at least deserving of an honourary part on my list. To be finished in 2020.
