GAMES OF THE YEAR
Well, we weren’t watching Netflix all the time…
DEVIL MAY CRY 5
A slamming soundtrack, slick cinematic action, and an array of scenarios to hack and shoot your way through made this one of the most outrageously entertaining games of the year.
SEKIRO: SHADOWS DIE TWICE
Fromsoftware took its Dark Souls formula, stripped it of its gothic overtones, and whipped it into the Sengoku period of Japan.
Sekiro revelled in making you eat shit over and over again!
MORTAL KOMBAT 11
Is there anything more metal than ripping a dude’s skull from his skinsack and beating him to death with it? Hell no! Mortal Kombat 11 was gratuitous and gory, perfect for psychopaths who own two controllers.
CONTROL
Strange and psychedelic, Control felt like the meeting of Max
Payne’s cinematic action with David Lynch’s penchant for pervasive storytelling. Bold and ambitious, it’s one of 2019’s best third-person adventure games.
CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE
Infinity Ward rebooted the Modern Warfare series to dive into the heart of contemporary conflicts, delivering a best-inclass FPS in the process. This was the best Call Of Duty has been in quite some time.
