Even if you dislike the gameplay presented in this title, the amount of genuine passion present makes this game such a treat to play, finally nailing the feeling of Star Wars that fans haven't seen in arguably a dec

The game hosts 12 unique legends each with their own individual abilities and skills. Each character has a varying style of optimal play and becoming familiar with your favorite character skills will improve your style of play dramatica

2019 provided gamers with a ton of memorable and fun titles that will likely continue to thrive in the coming years. While we are certainly an eclectic group of writers with different tastes and #1 picks, it was Resident Evil 2 that was mentioned most in our lists, earning the title out TheGamer's Game of the Year for 2

When I learned Tyler " Ninja " Blevins wrote a book about how to improve gameplay, I was interested to see if his tips would actually help me get better at Apex Legends . For a fee amounting to less than two months of Mixer subs, I downloaded Ninja: Get Good: My Ultimate Guide to Gaming for Kin

Disco Elysium is a game where you can be a godawful human being or a superstar cop. I don't think I've had more fun this year with a game than I did stumbling around as my drunken detective, wearing a kimono and waxing poetic about liquor, karaoke, and the pointlessness of life. It's not for everyone, but if you love world-building and playing as self-loathing scumbags, then you should be playing Disco Elysium until you're face down on the fl

The combat learn here is solid enough, the art style is distinct and charming, and the writing presented here has a great sense of humor. Plenty of laughs from the game's absurd plot and satisfying combat are what players can expect when they try Deathspa

Destiny 2: Shadowkeep may not be the biggest expansion set in Destiny's history, but it has elevated Destiny 2 to a place players always hoped the game would get to. There is so much awesome content to pursue and such an interesting, meaningful grind. Two months later and my raid team is still getting together most nights to play crucible, run the Pit of Heresy dungeon, or raid. Even jaded vanilla Destiny 2 players have come back and found the game they always wanted. Destiny 2: Shadowkeep is the most fun I've had in any game this y

We don’t think Crypto’s version of fancy is in line with the spirit of the Grand Soirée, but it’s certainly an interesting look. He looks less like he’s attending an exquisite old-fashioned party and more like he’s about to order bottle service at the club. But hey, points for eff

A good Apex or even battle royale player will never stay in the same spot for long periods of time. This goes for long-range and short-range fights, as staying in the same location for too long will spell an untimely death for a player. Be sure to always move around even if you hold an advantageous position over an enemy squad, as it may be the right amount of movement to avoid an enemy t

Apex Legends made a powerful debut Q1 of 2019, EA opting for a bold "no marketing" tactic. Embodying the trends of 2019 by building on the popular battle royale genre, Apex Legends released on Windows, PS4, and Xbox One for free. Streamers contributed to the game’s success, but players stuck around due to the unique incorporation of ability-based heroes and a wonderfully addicting set of movement mechanics. Apex barely edges this one out due to Respawn’s slow-moving developmental support, but the fact that competitives and casuals alike have stuck around is a testament to the game’s impressive fundament

Nier: Automata came out of nowhere to wow audiences with an incredible narrative, fun combat, and memorable characters who have a ton of life in them even though they may be robots. Such is the case with 2B, the game's iconic protagonist, who has become quite popular with f

There are essentially 5 different weapon types: Assault rifle, sniper/long-range rifle, handgun, submachine gun, and shotguns. As you can imagine a shotgun isn't a very good sniper rifle and a sniper rifle simply doesn't cut it in short-range fights. Learning each weapon's optimal range of effectiveness will improve your success in the vicious world of Apex and may even improve your First Person Shooter skills as a wh

Bastion's character is certainly more developed than other robot characters in the Overwatch universe. Bastion rejected his killer programming once he became aware of the world around him. Even when he was reminded of his duty, he chose beauty instead. Bastion is certainly an interesting character. Plus, he has the best bird companion of any other ro

What separates a bad player from an excellent one in Apex is their understanding of the movement mechanics in the game. Learning how to slide, crouch, jump or climb over walls can establish a clear and explicit gap in skill between your competit

While I loved playing every game in my top five, I put Control at number one because of the way it grabbed my attention and held it in a way that the other four just couldn’t. It was creepy and bizarre in all the right, unique ways. I’d obviously never want to actually venture into the Oldest House for real, but Control made it a joy to explore with its unsettlingly intriguing twists and tu
