Every year, COGconnected editors gather in the Press X To Podcast battlebridge to suss out the ten best games of the year. Or maybe it’s better to say our best games of the year. In any case, these are our ten best games of 2019.
As we close the book marked 2010’s, we’re looking back on the past 52 weeks with a critical eye. What was the best game of the year? Which were the most disappointing? Who’s the sexiest hero of the year? All shall be revealed come December 22nd.
