10 2019 Video Games That Won't Get Enough Love

Where is the love?

The number of quality releases in 2019 so far is absolutely incredible.

From long-awaited games like Kingdom Hearts 3 and Devil May Cry 5 to brand new games like Sekiro, the first few months of this year have already been pretty hard to top.

That excitement continues throughout the whole year, with new big releases coming out every single month. There's almost too much to play, and we don't even know about some of the games that might be playable in 2019.

That has a big downside though: a lot of well-deserving games end up getting ignored.

This has always been the case and unfortunately, it will always be the case.

In the case of these games, we think they're some of the most likely ones to fly under the radar a bit. That doesn't mean they're small games either; it may just be because of factors beyond their control.

The best we can do is try and highlight these games as much as possible, in the hope that more and more people will start looking forward to them.

By no means are we guaranteeing the quality of these games, but we do think they all deserve at the very least a second look.

10. Days Gone

Days Gone has gone underappreciated ever since it was first revealed, and that's a big shame.

The big problem is zombie fatigue and comparisons to The Last Of Us. Being another game set in a post-apocalyptic world means that being put up against The Last Of Us is no surprise, but the two games couldn't really be further apart.

Up until last month, Days Gone also didn't look anywhere close to being ready for release, with glitchy-looking gameplay and a really poor framerate. All of that has changed since the last preview.

There's a lot of interesting mechanics in Days Gone, and it looks like it will deliver an interesting narrative too, so we're hoping that people will give it a chance.

Releasing right next to one of the year's biggest games, Mortal Kombat 11, doesn't help things much.

To be completely fair, the game has been getting a lot more attention recently so it could manage to pull things around, but we still don't think Days Gone will get nearly as much love as it deserves.
