It's impossible to write a list of the best video games in any given year without leaving something out, simply because there's not enough time to play everything or even a fraction of everything. That's especially true nowadays, with dozens and dozens of smaller, indie titles releasing each month.

The Year In Tiny Video Game Text, 2019
Games are cheaper than ever, but the three cataract surgeries I paid for this year in order to read the words in them has made the hobby itself way more expensive.
Here are all of the games we could barely read this year, and please be sure to share the ones that eluded your eye as well.
Stellaris is an excellent 4X strategy game that is decided superior on PC, but I decided to play it on Xbox One so I could sit on my couch, a choice Paradox Interactive decided to punish me for by forcing me to manage my space empire as if all my accounting documents had been put through the shredder.
