The 20 Best Video Games of 2019 So Far
Which games impressed professional reviewers the most during the first half of the year? Above, we rank the best-reviewed videogames released between January 1, 2019 and June 30, 2019 by Metascore. If a game was released on multiple platforms, we included only the version receiving the largest total number of reviews (usually, but not always, the PS4 version). Newly released ports of games released in prior years on other platforms are excluded, unless they are substantially different from the prior release.
