Reach is pretty short tbh. I'm pretty sure you'll be able to make time for it!

This thread is not about games that came out 2019 but our personal gaming highlights this year. Just look at my original post, I don't think any of the games mentioned there came out 2019 since I rarely ever buy a game at release and rather wait until its cheaper and has all the DLCs.

Disappointment:

Oh top 5 huh would have to be of what I played this year
The Higurashi Series
Lost in Harmony
Adam Wolfe
Bioshock Series (except infinite)
Corpse Party Series
I did consider swapping Lost in Harmony for a different game but that was an amazing win that it deserves the spot. Honorable mention though (for what I would've swapped it for) Remember me.

Top 5 not in order:
Honorable mentions:
The Witcher 3 - second time I play it and it is still as good as I remember when I played it first time.
Grand Theft Auto V - I do not remember a thing from the story, but gameplay is really enjoyable
The Room serie - surprisingly entertaining and relaxing game. I hope they will make PC ports of other 'Rooms' soon :D

I would add there Euro Truck Simulator 2 - I got a wheel this year (gift) and the experience with it in most games I tried was so great.

I'm a very casual and picky gamer, so 5 is the maximum games I can pick out anyways. I enjoyed these games thoroughly and I didn't even finish all of them, but I think they're all amazing. I'm also really bad with tracking time, so I can't guarantee some of them weren't started in, say, the second half of 2018, but I definitely played them in 2019.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider
Paradigm
Mutant Year Zero
Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth
I Expect You to Die (VR)

Top five games
1) Rakuen - Beautiful. One of my favourite games, evoking the spirit of To the Moon by dealing with weighty topics in a whimsical manner. Wonderful soundtrack and great design.
2) Finding Paradise - This had a lot to live up to โ To the Moon and A Bird Story are among my favourite games โ but once again Kan Gao delivered. Touching, funny, surprising and engrossing.
3) Monster Prom - A pleasant surprise. Frequently funny, broken up into very accessible small chunks and with a surprising amount of content.
4) Witcher 3 GoTY - I'm not as huge a fan of this as many people seem to be, but it was a lot more enjoyable than the previous two of the series and it certainly had more interesting writing than most RPGs I've played lately.
5) Yakuza 0 - My first game in the Yakuza series, and a quite enjoyable experience.
Disappointments
1) The Outer Worlds - Shallow combat, forgettable writing and an absence of interesting choices.
2) Warhammer: Space Wolf - I love CCGs and turn-based combat, but this had horrendous design choices which detracted from both aspects.
3) State of Decay 2 - Felt like a shallow MMO, with dull and generic gameplay.

Finding Paradise is one of the very, very few games that really made me cry. Such an masterpiece. I just stumbled over the announcement of the next game of them the other day (Impostor Factory / https://store.steampowered.com/app/1182620/Impostor_Factory/) and this may very well be one of the few games I'll buy right at it's release.

Hollow Knight - Best game I played 2019. Can't wait for the next one!
Archeage Unchained - Favorite game right now. I played the original and left due to many issues. Was excited to see they relaunched as a pay to play title with no pay to win! :)
MTG Arena - I try to play daily. Best card game on the market right now.
Dauntless - Awesome monster hunting game that's free 2 play. It's like an arcade style monster hunting game(small hub, queue, directly to the monster to fight).
Darkest Dungeon - I've owned it for awhile and finally got to play it this year. Simply an awesome game.

<3 Codename. Good studio, really nice people.
If people are looking for a clicker/formation management game I recommend this and Idle Champions.

League of Angels: Paradise Land (Android) - a well done hero collection games, that's so well streamlined that I found it harder than usual to stop playing even when it grew a little stale.
Very Star (Oculus Go) - Used it as my daily workout for a while.
Kind Words - What an amazing idea.

At the end of the year I scrolled through my review list and was quite surprised to see, how many wonderful games I played this year. Despite being limited in my time, there were still more games, than I expected. And I decided to make a personal top 5 list of the games I played this year:
This list also proofs, that I tend to play other games and hardly ever get a game right when it comes out (MYZ was the absolute exception, which I played beginning of 2019 right when it came out).
Other games I had a lot of fun with and should be honorable mentions are the following titles (ordered by alphabet): Broforce, Eternal Senia, Hard West, Her Story, Maize, Open Sorcery, Rime, State of Mind, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Thomas was alone and Tomb Raider.
There were also two big disappointments: Shadow of War was a very tedious grinding experience which ruined the title for me. And Sherlock Holmes - The Devils Daugher in the end just had too many flaws.
So now the question of course stands: Which were your Top 5 of 2019? Which were your biggest disappointments?
Also: Of course there is a GA and what would be better suited than my best gaming experience of the last year? So answer a (really easy) question to gain access to the GA by clicking here!
