20 Best Video Games Of 2019

16. Planet Zoo

Planet zoo
Frontier Developments

Known for Kinectimals on Xbox and the stellar space adventure Elite: Dangerous, Frontier Developments' real passion is in the most labyrinthine sims possible.

In Planet Zoo's case, it's every bit the "design your own dream zoo" as you might think. A successor to Zoo Tycoon and Frontier's various other park-builders like Planet Coaster, here you spend hours perfecting the perfect layout for everything from pandas to pythons. Even the idea of releasing your favourites into the wild are touching and genuinely heartwarming.

Planet Zoo is coming to consoles in 2020, but its PC release has made it a notably well thought out and rewarding game that'll be topping many peoples' GOTY lists.
