20 Best Video Games Of 2019 (So Far)

10. Observation

No Code

The first home console release from indie devs No Code, Observation knocks it clean out the park.

Playing like a puzzle game with near-realistic graphics, you'll play as a memory-wiped A.I., S.A.M, struggling to take care of one Dr. Emma Fisher through a number of security cameras, mechanical arms and drones.

The best thing about Observation is how much it nails the feeling of being lost in space. Opening with a cataclysmic event I won't spoil, the majority of your time is spent questioning what happened beforehand, where the rest of the crew have disappeared to, and what role - if any - you had in everything that went down.

Observation's greatest strength is dealing an immaculate hand of tension and plot drive; a mixture few titles get right considering a common aim for a more protracted runtime. Here though, with a considered budget and artistically minded creative goals, we've got the best space horror since Dead Space.
