Dan's top 20 games of 2019

by danlongman

2019 was a wonderful year of games for me, I had a really hard time coming up with this list. So many games really connected with me this year. Here are the best 20 games I played this year.

Showing 1-10 of 20 items

Metro Exodus

1. Metro Exodus

The Metro series of games has always been one of my favourites. And Exodus takes thing to the next level, Adding in an open world and keeping the tense choice laden themes of the past. Visually amazing to look at especially with the ray tracing enabled. And the best game play in the series.

2. Control

Control is a fun game, I am a huge fan of Remedy and they continue to make amazing games. Visually stunning and once again a wonderful showcase for ray tracing.

The Outer Worlds

3. The Outer Worlds

A tighter fallout? yes thank you. I love obsidian's work and they show Bethesda how it is possible to make a fallout style rpg without the insane amount of bugs. Shorter but much tighter than the fallout games, wonderful writing a cool world of planets to explore and some of the best companions in a game yet.

Disco Elysium

4. Disco Elysium

Disco Elysium has some of the best writing in a game ever. I really enjoyed this game so much and the choices you make and the amount of dice checks is so great. Play Disco

A Plague Tale: Innocence

5. A Plague Tale: Innocence

Plague Tale: Innocence came out of nowhere for me and blew me away, I have played multiple times, one of the most beautiful games and the story is great, The game falters a bit at the end in my opinion otherwise it would be even higher on my list.

Observation

6. Observation

Wonderful sci fi, deals with multiverse in a way never seen in a video game before, it is very stylish and really cool playing an AI in a game.

Outer Wilds

7. Outer Wilds

This game is amazing, The sense of exploration it gives you and every time you pick it up you are learning more about the world and putting things together. This game is amazing, the sense of explor..............

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

8. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

This game blew me away I didn't expect much from it especially after the first few times game play was shown and the fact that I am not a huge star wars fan but wow it was so good. Super fun and beautiful.

Deliver Us the Moon

9. Deliver Us the Moon

Another amazing Sci fi game, a really great story about the survival of humanity. Tacoma meets Syberia.
