Finally an anime game adaptation that gets me excited!

Blasphemous. Just a few hours in and I'm loving it. Great music, some amazing character design and animations and beautiful backgrounds. The cutscenes have a cool art style and really help building the world. Gameplay does not feel as polished as Dead Cells or Hollow Knight but it's still quite good. Level design could be better but it's still upper tier.

Potentially a great year for FPS. Doom Eternal seems like it's going to be an improvement over the fun and frantic violence of 2016. Remedy, one of my favourite developers, working on a FPS is exciting, Cyberpunk will most probably be one of the games of the gen and Halo Infinite will hopefully be a return to form while shaking a bit its formula.

WAS playing Outward, I knew it would be a clunky low budget game but after a few hours I had to quit. Just too much wrong with it. Now I'm playing Pillars of Eternity.

@oscillator Thanks for sharing. I've just ordered it, gonna have my hands on it tomorrow!

According to my calculations I've finished around 25 2019 games, got my top 3 sorted so one left to go. Plus the 4 mentions.

Ace Combat and now that Totally Accurate Battle Simulator is on GamePass I'll be playing that too.

Brandon's Legend of Zelda - Future of Dreams made me laugh so hard. It's my most vivid memory of 2019 when it comes to EZA.
