TheGamer News Team s Favorite Games Of 2019

Perhaps its continued support of the game is a redemption effort of sorts. Back in February, i n a move that signaled how drastically out of touch game publishers can be with the gaming community, EA surprised the world by launching Apex Legends DLC Legends within weeks of Anthem ’s scheduled release. The former appeared as a surprise drop on Feb. 4, 2019. The latter officially launched on Feb. 22, 2019, following a beta event from Jan. 25-27 and early releases for EA Origin Access on PC and EA Access for Xbox on Feb.


Technically now the "third" version of what is perhaps the perfect game, the Resident Evil 2 remake updates a classic and shows developers that narrative-driven content can succeed without the need for multiplayer and microtransacti


However, she is most clutch as a team player, granting an escape route via her ultimate in almost any situation. Whether pinned inside a building or trying to escape sniper fire outside in the open, Dimensional Rift is a life-saving ability that puts Wraith above the rest of the champi


Weapon Supply Bins - Secret Compartment: Revenant will now be able to access the Secret Compartment of Weapon Supply Bins, giving him access to four (4) Smart Loot attachments. One (1) of these will always be optics, while there’s a lower chance of getting Hop-Ups and Magazines. Meanwhile, opening the Secret Compartment when everyone doesn’t have a weapon will immediately spawn a weapon with two (2) attachme


It’s hard to know what to make of another iteration of Anthem . Certainly, people won’t flock to it in droves due to name recognition or a relationship with the franchise. Without that going for it, Anthem 2.0 will have to be a groundbreaking game if it wants to attract a fanb


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


In my own experience, outside of competitive play, it almost seems as though players' mains reflect aspects of their real-life identities. That’s not to say that all Revenant mains are evil people. However, they may, for example, see themselves as having a dark side they can express through this charac


Throughout Jedi: Fallen Order , BD-1 is upgraded with various abilities and gadgets to help in combat. One of his best abilities is hacking into Imperial droids. Once they reach a certain amount of health, BD will hop right onto them. He will start hacking away and usually sings a little tune while he does it. It is an adorable and very useful abil


Respawn Entertainment is the king of creating likable and interesting robot characters. This list will reveal that later on, but the first of their robots to show up on this list is Pathfinder. Pathfinder is a cheery and friendly robot. His ability in Apex Legends explains the exact reason as to why he is named Pathfin


It's a gamble to launch any two major releases within a week of each other. However, it was especially bold of EA to bring on some of Twitch 's biggest names to play Apex Legends , spending a rumored $1 million to have Ninja play on stream . In doing so, Anthem fell by the ways


The biggest robbery of the 2019 Game Awards? A Plague Tale: Innocence not winning anything. Sure, the game wasn't perfect, but in terms of an original single-player narrative, the game was unmatched in its story and emotional impact. Disturbing enough to make me never want to to play it again, but fun enough to make me consider it, A Plague Tale: Innocence will never get the credit it deserves. Maybe its sequel will finally bring more players aboard, tho


It was no doubt a unique challenge for a writer. During the time period in which Respawn started planning Apex Legends , the two major battle royale releases were Fortnite : Battle Royale and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG). Neither of these games put the story front and center. Eventually, Activision and Treyarch added Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 : Blackout to the mix. That game leveraged the franchise’s history of interesting stories, but the result was a sort of a hodgepodge of elements from the Black Ops series meshed into a battle royale for


Get ahead with stalking: One of the most useful perks in the game would be Revenant’s Stalker (Passive) as it expands Revenant’s movement options as an Assault character. Since Revenant’s crouch grants him the same walking speed, players may as well stay in a permanent crouch to make it much harder for enemies to aim at him. Not to mention, ADS when crouching is much faster compared to standing, meaning Revenant can draw his weapon much faster in engageme


In Fallout 4, players get a handful of options when it comes to companions and Nick Valentine is commonly selected among Fallout fans. Nick Valentine is a synthetic private detective. A robot paired with the job of a detective and that name is undeniably cool. Valentine can be used to hack into computer systems but insists on not hacking into other people's terminals. After all, he is a detect
