Best of 2019
Easy choice for #1 this year. My list was a little light this year yet again, as I continued to play Fortnite on a daily basis. I even dipped back into Save The World and got on a serious grind. Save The World's endgame is an absolute joy.
Regrets and Honorable Mentions:
Regrettably Not Played:
- Indivisible - I actually started this, but at the same time as Death Stranding, which forced Indivisible to the back burner. The 90-or-so minutes I played of it were good, but didn't grab me enough to bring me back when Death Stranding was done. Maybe one day.
Honorable Mention:
- My Friend Pedro - Terrific game, with a lot of really great moments. I think this didn't chart for me because it never ended up feeling as fluid as I thought it might before I played it. In other words, I sucked at it and never got good. I suppose 4 hours isn't enough time to excel at something like My Friend Pedro though.
- APE OUT - Not a big jazz fan, but damned if jazz music didn't have an amazing impact on the delivery of APE OUT. It was Hotline Miami, but you're an ape. What's not to love?
- Blasphemous - I kickstarted this and thoroughly enjoyed playing it. I think the reason it didn't end up on this list because it didn't truly stand out from your typical Metroidvania.
- Baba Is You - Great game, amazing idea, I was too dumb to get very far in it and gave up.
