This year, gamers received several releases that will go down in history: Red Dead Redemption 2, God of War, and Marvel's Spider-Man are just a few of them. Excellent graphics, good stories, and many abilities that could become references for other games in the future are among their defining features. Below, we have left five suggestions for games released this year that many people may have set aside because they were watching other, “meatier” launches.
Take a look, and if you know of other 2018 or 2019 releases that fit this description, according to our partners.
Tetris Effect
Almost as addictive as the old game on the Game Boys of the 1990s. It uses the block-stacking and basic structure of the old game and makes it sophisticated. Those using Virtual Reality become completely immersed in the game's fantastic world, to such an extent that it is difficult to “come back” afterward. Each stage has a different theme, with its own sounds and effects. Produced by Rez Infinite and Lumines Remastered.
Pokemon Let’s Go
It was promised as a remake of Pokemon Yellow, but ultimately became a reboot of the entire franchise. A new generation is introduced to the world of the little Japanese creatures. The innovations made the game much lighter, more fun, and more relaxing to play, as well as more beautiful. Pokémon has always been “popular,” but Let's Go was a different proposal that may have driven some people away.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
It improved greatly on Origins, despite being released just over a year later. Players now choose their character, their preferred narrative options, romantic interests, and so on. The side missions make much more sense and—in most cases—explain the main ones, not to mention the incredible visuals. An amazing, extensive open world and mythical creatures to kill. A great game that, in the public's general opinion, definitively redeemed the Assassin's Creed series after mediocre-to-poor releases in recent years.
Jurassic World Evolution
I believe everyone who loves dinosaurs has finally found a game to call their own. The possibility of building your own Jurassic Park, making every decision in an attempt to make it work—even while knowing nature will always find a way—is fantastic. The graphics are wonderful; you see your dinosaur. You find fossils and try to bring that creature back to life, and so on.
Owlboy
We hope to have the chance to reap more after the turn of 2019 from these magnificent games that almost no one knows. Owlboy is a vertical “sky adventure” platformer in which the world's islands were scattered after a great calamity. You play as Otus, one of the last living owls, in an adventure that looks retro and renewed at the same time.
