As has become a yearly tradition, here is my list of video games I played in 2019.

A sun (☀️) means I liked it a LOT and would recommend you at least have a look at it. Some rain (🌧) means it didn’t really do it for me or was disappointing in some way (I did not play any bad games this year). Anything without an emoji is Real Nice. A trophy (🏆) signifies my personal favourite game of the year.

Some notes

  • Sunless Skies is breathtaking in ambition and it almost consistently sticks the landing.
  • I really loved Neo Cab until the ending which is a big wet flop of a disappointment.
  • I did not get what Paratopic was trying to do but lots of people love it so if you have an interest in surreal horror stuff do check it out.
  • There are a few games on this list that might become suns when I play them more, such as MH4U, Remnant, Enderal or Pokemon Sword.
