And speaking of which, it's that time of the year again. Time to tally up which games were our favorites of 2019, which ones left the best impression on us here at TNW.
* * *
As with last year, only games that were released for the first time this year (barring remakes) were eligible for the list, and even with all our efforts we couldn't play every game that came out this year. So if you want to make an argument for your favorite game that didn't make the cut, by all means do — just know that there's a chance the reason it wasn't included was because we didn't get to it.

Gaming is now an art for everyone: The best games of 2019 | Salon.com
Once the realm of teenage boys and self-identified nerds, video games truly came into themselves as a mature art form in the 2010s. More than that, games are arguably the most important art form of the 21st century, a Wagnerian synthesis of all previous arts; accordingly, the video game business is now more profitable than the music and film industry combined.
As the game industry expanded to cater to new demographics, the diversity of the form grew astoundingly. Older readers, take note: games are no longer largely shoot-em-up " Doom " clones, as one might have argued in the early 1990s. The best games of the past year encompass a variety of genres, and include a reimagined classic Soviet arcade game , an adventure game about a lovelorn woman, and a surreal existential drama.
Epic Games' Fortnite is the most influential video game of the decade - Business Insider
In the hit-driven video game industry, few franchises grow large enough to become household names, and even fewer can remain popular enough to survive more than a few years. "Fortnite," however, has already surpassed both milestones to become one of the most influential video games in recent history.
Outside of perhaps "Pokémon Go" or "Minecraft," few recent games have managed to reach the level of pop-culture ubiquity that "Fortnite" has enjoyed for the past two years. A star "Fortnite" player made the cover of ESPN The Magazine, and "Time's" list of 100 most influential people. Musicians and actors have been filming themselves playing "Fortnite," and the game even had a cameo in "Avengers: Endgame," the biggest movie of all time.
How to Make Your Favorite Video Games More Challenging
Player-inflicted permadeath must be enforced by the gamer themselves, but it’s a legitimately difficult way to increase how significant every in-game action is — do you really want to chance taking on a monster three times your level, or is it more beneficial for you to turn tail and run? In a way, the game takes on a more realistic persona, and in turn completion feels like much more of an accomplishment.
Throwing caution to the wind and blazing through a game like you know it like the back of your hand is, in a nutshell, a speed run. In order to perform a run competently, one must at the very least be reasonably comfortable with core mechanics, tricks, and shortcuts at their disposal, and available routes that may be utilized in order to achieve the fastest time possible.
