As we pass the halfway point of 2019, we’re staring down a jam-packed second half of the year when it comes to blockbuster video games. But we’ve already racked up so many excellent titles that it’s hard to keep track.
It was no easy task, but I’ve taken a look back through the games I’ve consumed this year so far, and I’ve handpicked the ones that truly resonated with me. It’s hard to believe I’ve already powered through so many contenders this year with a slew of potential greats like Death Stranding, Borderlands 3, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare to come, but here I stand on the precipice of dozens more games that will eventually make their way to store shelves later this year that could potentially blow my mind.
From here, it’s going to be near impossible to name a victor when it comes to crowning the best game of 2019 ahead of when 2020 rolls around. But for now, I’m breaking up this phenomenal year in gaming into manageable chunks and running down the 30 greatest games of 2019 that I’ve played so far. I’m just glad Square Enix and CD Projekt RED were merciful enough to push Final Fantasy VII Remake and Cyberpunk 2077 into next year.
