10 Major Video Games Coming In 2019 You Need To Play

10. DOOM Eternal

Release date: TBA 2019

Off the back of its glorious reboot, id Software proved modern shooters have no need of contrived mechanics to add depth and ensure success - pitch-perfect gunplay and a "push-forward" attitude are all it needed to remind the world it still had the chops to call itself master of the FPS genre.

But if, at its core, Doom is already as solid as can be, how does the developer intend to iterate without introducing unnecessary fluff? Besides the obvious - more guns, gadgets and demon types to unload into - id's adding more functionality to Doom Slayer's suit, not just in the form of built-in weapons, but added manoeuvrability to make dodging bull-horned demons and level traversal feel that little bit more fluid.

To top that off, an optional new feature - Invasions - will allow other players to invade your world a la Dark Souls and take control of various hellspawn in an attempt to halt Doom Slayer's crusade against Hell.

Earth might not be ready to face Hell's fury, but the Doom Slayer is.
