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.
Ignoring 2013's well-reviewed but poor-selling series reboot DmC: Devil May Cry, Capcom instead returned to its original hack-and-slash series with a sequel to 2008's Devil May Cry 4 that features three stylistically distinct playable characters for its single-player campaign: the returning Dante and Nero, and a new figure known as V.
“This is the best Devil May Cry yet. Each character has enough depth to fill a game by themselves, the story does exactly what it needs to, the twists and turns keep you on edge and the combat sets a new benchmark for action games as a whole. Capcom has made a masterclass in stylish combat gaming here, and there’s enough content to keep players happy — even if it takes another 11 years for a sequel.” —FANDOM
