It feels like 2019 only just started, and suddenly it's pretty much completely over already. Where did it go? Nobody knows, but judging by the playtime counters on our consoles, a not-insignificant part of this year was spent playing video games. Some were big-budget blockbusters, some small indie darlings, and after trying to experience as many as possible in a year, we here at SYFY FANGRRLS have put together a list of our favorite video games released this year.
So, in no particular order, these are the games released in 2019 we wanted to give a nod to as particularly worth checking out over your next bit of free time.
And here's another article:
The 50 best games of 2019 - Polygon
2019 was a very strange year for games, and that sense of adventure is clear in our list of the top 50 games of the past 12 months.
While next year will have new consoles and likely many new entries in huge, tentpole franchises, this was a year with many experiments and unexpected surprises. Outer Wilds mixes the expected influence of the past few years into something completely new, while The Outer Worlds brought familiar design into a brand-new galaxy that served as a pointed critique of capitalism.
Chris Payne Finds His Passion in Brotherhood and Video Games
He minored in Japanese, allowing him to combine his interests in anime and Japanese culture with his desire to learn more about the world of video games. In the summer of 2018, he traveled to Japan as part of one of Georgia Tech's many Language for Business and Technology (LBAT) programs. There, he spent 12 weeks immersing himself the country's culture and language.
Payne also completed two rotations of a co-op with Cartoon Network as a game tester. He estimates that he tested about three dozen different games and apps; each time, he would walk through the product, send feedback to the game developers about what didn't work, and repeat the process with the new iteration. Payne is even credited as a game tester for the Cartoon Network App, which won an Emmy in 2016 for Outstanding Creative Achievement in Interactive Media.

Don't get me wrong. The idea is completely on point. It's a lovely idea that everyone in the world will eventually come to see gaming for what it is, a pastime like any other. It can be as deep and meaningful as any book or movie but also comes with its bad elements. Of course, sometimes the bad elements are thrown into sharp relief by just how toxic they are.
Mutazione's gardening reminds me that when video games give me order, I want chaos •
A lot of situations in games seem chaotic at first - the disorder of large-scale battles, wave upon wave of enemies raining down onto you until their number and actions become indiscernible, or the rapid alteration between dodging projectile fire and melee attacks in a run and gun game. But while combat can be chaotic, you win by creating order, finally achieving flow by finding patterns and thus reaching the magical point where a game's difficulty and your skill level meet.

J.J. Abrams shows off Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker clip in Fortnite - The Verge
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is so inescapable that it's even started invading video games. This afternoon, director J.J. Abrams stopped by a unique location to show off a new clip from the movie: Risky Reels, the drive-in theater on Fortnite' s virtual island. It was a unique promotional event for the film, which naturally ended with a lightsaber duel.
The event opened with Abrams arriving on the Millennium Falcon, amidst a battle with some TIE fighters and a few Star Destroyers. There was even an in-game avatar that looked remarkably like the director. After a bit of a preamble with host Geoff Keighley — best known as the host and creator of The Game Awards — a massive floating display appeared.
