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.
Nintendo's game creator, which lets you design, share, and play your own Super Mario levels, first came out for the Wii U in 2015 (and 3DS in 2016). But this Switch-exclusive sequel is better in every way, and even works as a terrific, deep Super Mario platformer even if you have no interest in creating anything.
“Put in as simple a manner as possible, this is likely to be the last 2D Mario game you’ll need. It’s Super Mario Maker but with more of everything that made the original so phenomenal.” —Nintendo Life
