![]() ![]() What we said: Cute graphics, funny writing, and good gameplay make Cardpocalypse a rousing good time. What we said: Cadence of Hyrule is a fresh approach to the classic 2D Legend titles that looks and sounds amazing, but it doesn't last long. There are issues, but those shouldn't deter you too much from having an absolute blast. It's beautiful, funny, and frantic in the best ways. What we said: Borderlands 3 is the best Borderlands has ever been. ![]() What we said: Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night stands as one of the best Vania games of recent memory, and one of the most satisfying games of 2019 so far. A worthy successor to the Contra crown from concept to execution. What we said: Rad and totally kickass, Blazing Chrome stands as one of the best run n' gun games of all time. Publisher: The Arcade Crew, Limited Run Games ![]() What we said: If you love SNES platformers and aren't concerned by the possibility of an angry god pressing its "smite" button to rain lightning upon you, Blasphemous is simply a must-play. What we said: Atelier Ryza is the best Atelier game to date, with some much-needed improvements that make for a more compelling package on the whole. Atelier Ryza Ever Darkness and the Secret Hideout It might not be a huge leap forward for the series, but it combines the best elements from previous Atelier games to make this new entry a contender for best of the crop and an excellent starting point for newbies. What we said: It's more of the same Atelier, but it also takes the best from its predecessors to synthesize a fun and customizable adventure. What we said: Astral Chain presents an experience that might be familiar to those familiar with Platinum Games, but there's enough to keep you engaged and excited. But even if you're just looking for a new, fairly linear story to dive into, or dying to get your hands on a game whose combat actually involves new ideas and executes them well, then this is the game for you. What we said: There's a lot to love about Ape Out and not many glaring flaws to point to. It may be a simple game with basic controls, but that doesn't mean it doesn't still provide a challenge that rewards sound, strategic play. What we said: The turn-based strategy game of the year has arrived, and the unexpected transition from fantasy to sci-fi is handled superbly.ĭevelopers: Bennett Foddy, Gabe Cuzzillo, Matt Boch What we said: The VR Mode is the big draw of Bandai Namco's new flight combat simulator, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, but it is more limited than you might have hoped. What we said: A Place for the Unwilling offers a delightfully sinister tale of mystery and destruction with a staggering number of branching paths that guarantee no playthrough will be the same. We're certain you will have thoughts - and we want to hear them! A Place for the Unwilling Be sure to sound off in the comments at the end of the article. We have arranged the following games in alphabetical order. So without further ado, here is GameSkinny's "Best Games of 2019" list. It will always create some form of controversy. Such a rubric might not be perfect as it leaves out some of the year's tentpole titles like Modern Warfare and Death Stranding, but a list like this is never perfect. The most democratic way to make a list like this was to include any game with a score of "8" or higher. To celebrate the year that was, we've collected our highest-reviewed games of 2019 into a pseudo "best of" list. We're a small staff at GameSkinny, so going the traditional "staff voting route" didn't really make a whole lot of sense. ![]()
