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.
Imagine Mario Kart populated by characters from Naughty Dog's Crash Bandicoot series and you pretty much have the beloved 1999 PlayStation title Crash Team Racing. The latter game just received a next-generation remodel (courtesy of Activision) that features the same kart-racing gameplay as the original but with completely overhauled graphics and a selection of brand new karts and tracks.
“Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is an adorable and charming trip down memory lane, packed full of challenging content for the most dedicated players while still being accessible and fun for the whole family.” —We Got This Covered
