Last year was what to play - a fact. Moreover, fans of various genres and gamers of all ages. We name the ten most-most projects of the past 12 months. It was these games that impressed us the most.
Yes, everything is subjective. And, of course, we are ready to discuss the results of the year in the comments.
REMAKE OF RESIDENT EVIL 2 (PS4, XBOX ONE, PC)
The reference model for rethinking the old game. In the remake of Resident Evil 2, the dark spirit of the original has been preserved, its vicious atmosphere of horror, stylish locations, and a curious plot. But all this has been done at a new technological level, taking into account all modern trends. There are not only beautiful graphics but also convenient controls, as well as excellent directing.
We have no doubt that the remake of Resident Evil 3, which is created with an eye on the amazing “deuce,” will also be among the best games already in 2020.
OUTER WILDS (PS4, XBOX ONE, PC)
What you need for those who are tired of the same type of shooters, endless multiplayer battles and other AAA one-day games without a soul and an idea. Outer Wilds is the only one, unique and absolutely wonderful. For all those who grew up in the body, but remained young soul.
A mysterious space adventure game with the atmosphere of the cool space Road Movie with notes of Groundhog Day and, finally, truly charismatic aliens in the title role.
SEKIRO: SHADOWS DIE TWICE (PS4, XBOX ONE, PC)
Best Dark Souls of 2019 and period. Sekiro's hardcore action is better than Bloodborne and Nioh, a mixture of which is felt in the first few hours. Therefore, you already understand that the game is original and will imitate it already.
It is simply cool (the best definition) and requires the gamer maximum return. Complex, intense in battles, with visual beauties of 5 plus, and also very large.
KINGDOM HEARTS III (PS4, XBOX ONE)
The long-awaited completion of the console role-playing saga at the junction of the worlds Square Enix and Disney. I cried all 25 hours while Kingdom Heart III passed, recalling my childhood and how I saved to the disc with the first Kingdom Hearts for the PlayStation 2 and how I was looking forward to the sequel.
No, Kingdom Hearts III cannot be called the best in the series (the script is rather weak, and you won’t find the heroes of Final Fantasy here during the day), but it’s definitely the most expensive, grandiose and simply beautiful.
THE OUTER WORLDS (PS4, XBOX ONE, SWITCH, PC)
The Outer Worlds is not striking in its scope but in its elaboration. This is a space-based space role-playing game from the creators of Fallout: New Vegas with an extremely small world. But every square centimeter here matters, each NPC is a person, and all quests - both basic and additional - are part of a single large whole.
Finally, it really allows you to play the role of a diplomat, a good-natured person, a scumbag, a villain. And here are the same interesting partners as in Mass Effect 2. We look forward to transforming one successful project from Obsidian into a successful franchise for a couple of parts.
METRO EXODUS (PS4, XBOX ONE, PC)
The most ambitious and sincere Russian game, albeit not from Russian developers. It is literally saturated with the spirit of the late USSR, as well as the soft warmth lost in the abyss of centuries, but living inside of all of us, Russia.
Metro Exodus is a fairly average shooter, but an amazing adventure with a soundtrack from the Kino group, soulful characters, and such native locations.
And, yes, it is many times better than Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light.
BORDERLANDS 3 (PS4, XBOX ONE, PC)
One of the best co-op games of 2019. It's all the same Borderlands, only with improved graphics, a more diverse world, and convenient gameplay. It captivates with its scope, high-quality atmosphere of space adventure and an abundance of guns and additional tasks.
The main game for two players for many months.
BLOODSTAINED: RITUAL OF THE NIGHT (PS4, XBOX ONE, SWITCH, PC)
The metro diving that we dreamed about over the past twenty years. Bloodstained is the heiress of the great Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. With a complex, large 2D world, exciting boss battles and a pretty retro picture. And also - an unexpectedly interesting story and a charismatic heroine.
GEARS 5 (XBOX ONE, PC)
The main console exclusive for the Xbox One in 2019. For the first time, Gears of War tried to get on the rails of the open world with additional quests and exploring locations. And this did not make her worse at all, even on the contrary - the classic scripted battles are successfully combined with conversations and walk on a pretty planet. The only pity is that Gears 5 ends on the most interesting.
SHENMUE 3 (PS4, PC)
Played in the 2000s on Dreamcast? Paneers from Shenmue 1 and 2? Were you amazed at how much the next-gen was felt then the original? Well, almost 20 years have passed, Shenmue 3 is on store shelves.
And it plays, feels (and in many ways looks) as if all these two decades were not there. This is a game for Dreamcast, released for PS4 and PC in 2019. If you accept this, then you will literally return to childhood. And you will be happy.
