Lonely Mountain: Downhill (Switch – eShop) does not have a release date yet.


2019 was a very strange year for games, and that sense of adventure is clear in our list of the top 50 games of the past 12 months.While next year will have new consoles and likely many new entries in huge, tentpole franchises, this was a year with many experiments and unexpected surprises. Outer Wilds mixes the expected influence of the past few years into something completely new, while The Outer Worlds brought familiar design into a brand-new galaxy that served as a pointed critique of capitalism.There was a Star Wars game that could be mistaken for a Tomb Raider game.

There was Kind Words, which was always there for you if the news became a little overwhelming. And who could forget whatever the hell Untitled Goose Game is? This was a year in which it was possible, if not exactly easy, for strange, exciting new ideas to make an outsized dent in the zeitgeist.Don’t worry too much about the ranking.

It’s a fun and light exercise. Ultimately, we recommend all of these games. That’s why we’ve included a bit on what makes each one special: So you can find the best games of 2019 for you.Here it is, our list of the top 50 games of 2019. For a deeper look back at our top 5, check out our.

Image: Cloudhead Games 50. Pistol Whipis a rhythm/action VR game in which you murder your enemies to the pulsing beat of an amazing soundtrack. It’s a killer workout, as well as an effective way to blow off some steam if you’re stressed out, with enough options that change the scoring — and even the feel of the game, in some cases — to make sure it’s worth playing through each song multiple times. An instant VR classic, from a studio that clearly understands the medium.—Ben KucheraAvailable on Oculus Rift, Oculus Quest, Steam VR.Get it here:. Image: Tendershoot, Michael Lasch, ThatWhichIs Media/No More Robots 49. Hypnospace OutlawSet entirely in a late-’90s GeoCities-like online hub, is a flawless piece of historical fiction, a savage work of contemporary satire, and a genuinely tricky puzzle game. It’s a funny piece of work that’s nostalgic about the past without getting too misty-eyed.The game tasks me with working as a community enforcer, administering a code of behavior across its ugly, bizarre user-created pages.

These websites are populated by a diverse cast of internet archetypes extant in the ’90s, as now. Copyright infringers, virus makers, hackers, scammers, and trolls must all be taken down through deduction, investigation, and lateral thinking.Experimentation is the key, and there are times when solutions seem maddeningly elusive. But all the while, Hypnospace Outlaw prods and nudges us to think about our digital lives, now and in the past.—Colin CampbellAvailable on Windows PC, Mac, and Linux.Get it here: Read more:.

Islandersis a vacation hidden inside a video game. Its cute, low-poly style is easy on the eyes, its sound effects and music are chill as hell, and you can play the turn-based game at a leisurely pace. You don’t have to worry about catastrophic weather events or having enough food for your villagers; just take your time to plan out and build a flourishing island village.Playing Islanders feels like someone took the city-building genre apart brick by brick and rebuilt it using only 10% of the pieces. It’s minimalist, but it’s not simple. A plus/minus scoring system gives you points every time you place a building; a jeweler gets bonus points for being near gold mines and mansions, while farms get bonuses for being near mills. Islanders isn’t strict about where you can place your buildings, but this system keeps things in check, encouraging you to create patterns and groups. It’s an elegant setup that balances the player’s freedom without harshing the game’s chill vibes.—Clayton AshleyAvailable on Mac and Windows PC.Get it here.

Image: Massive Entertainment/Ubisoft 47. Tom Clancy’s The Division 2was a breath of fresh air near the beginning of the year, despite being yet another extremely online third-person shooter. The game looked amazing on higher-end gaming PCs, it had a solid launch without many technical issues, and it was designed in such a way that it was clear the team heard players’ complaints about the first game.

It felt like ordering an old favorite at a restaurant, and finding it cooked nearly perfectly.—Ben KucheraAvailable on PlayStation 4, Windows PC, and Xbox One.Get it here: Read more:. Image: Nintendo EAD/Nintendo 46. New Super Mario Bros. U DeluxeNew Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe may have a ridiculous name, with its bookended superlatives and a now-out-of-place U, but the game’s release on Nintendo Switch offers a much larger audience the chance to play what. Even if you don’t agree, you have to appreciate the value of this package: Deluxe includes two full Wii U games — New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U.

Both side-scrolling platformers were great on the underperforming Wii U, and they’re even better here.As noted in our, New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe thrives on iteration. There are in here that can be appreciated by both longtime Nintendo fans and newcomers.

It’s a masterfully designed Mario game, made slightly better by its ability to be played anywhere on the Nintendo Switch.—Michael McWhertorAvailable on Nintendo Switch.Get it here:. Image: ArtPlay/505 Games via Polygon 45. Bloodstained: Ritual of the NightThe man who helped keep 2D Castlevania games alive — and is partly responsible for the “’vania” half of a beloved genre — to help him bring Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night to life.A to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Koji Igarashi’s crowdfunded project faced and a worrying, and it had some at launch. But the end result was a solid, playable homage to the Metroid-inspired Castlevania games of yore. It’s pure comfort food, and Bloodstained not only lives up to expectations, but exceeds them in many ways, offering depth, a massive list of things to discover, and, above all, a return to form for a master of Metroidvania design.—Michael McWhertorAvailable on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows PC, and Xbox One.Get it here:. Image: Respawn Entertainment/Electronic Arts 44. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen OrderTwo years ago, it felt like Star Wars was a video game franchise in crisis.

Remember all that stuff about? That Star Wars was a lumbering dinosaur of the era of licensed games, and with a 10-foot electro-baton?Yet here is, a game that is many of the things people said couldn’t be done anymore. Not so much as a whiff of co-op. By the best developers? Well, that’s a different argument, but Respawn Entertainment has already delivered some amazing games in its relatively short history.That might be the biggest surprise — and lesson — inside Jedi: Fallen Order’s appeal: that no one except Respawn thought that, hey, running around and exploring things in the world of Star Wars instead of sabering it all apart, and playing it as a high adventure instead of a cosplay convention, might be a pretty amazing experience, too. It’s a surprising twist, but the important part is that we now have another very enjoyable, story-based game set in the world of Star Wars.—Owen S.

Image: Ziba Scott 43. Kind Words2019 has been a tough year — politically, personally, you name it. Tech exacerbates this problem by incentivizing engagement; the angrier we are at each other, the better the numbers will be for services like Twitter. The mere act of talking to another person on social media is exhausting enough that I almost never try anymore, which makes coming to an understanding nearly impossible.

Sometimes, I fear I’m becoming a coarser person just so I can come out the other end vaguely intact.But. You need to trust that when you write a letter and send it off into the void, the players receiving it on the other end will be gentle with you. And then you need to feel a duty to pay that tenderness forward by responding to people you’ll never get to meet. Choosing kindness in a world that demands we constantly bare our teeth is the most subversive thing I can imagine.—Patricia HernandezAvailable on Mac and Windows PC.Get it here.
