TheGamer News Team’s Favorite Games Of 2019

Octane has a steampunk inspired skin full of gears, pocket watches, and a big ol’ honking Flavor Flav clock on his chest. His helmet is also reminiscent of The Rocketeer , which makes us want to go watch that movie

There’s no game franchise more ripe for a live-action television show than The Legend of Zelda . The series has more than enough material to adapt into an episodic program as Link explores all of Hyrule. Through quests, puzzles and beautiful storytelling, it would be surreal to tune into Netflix to watch our protagonist set out to take on Ganon over several seas

Destiny 2: Shadowkeep may not be the biggest expansion set in Destiny’s history, but it has elevated Destiny 2 to a place players always hoped the game would get to. There is so much awesome content to pursue and such an interesting, meaningful grind. Two months later and my raid team is still getting together most nights to play crucible, run the Pit of Heresy dungeon, or raid. Even jaded vanilla Destiny 2 players have come back and found the game they always wanted. Destiny 2: Shadowkeep is the most fun I’ve had in any game this y

The first chapter, «Gear Up,» is about investing in the right gear. Unfortunately, it’s primarily limited to a discussion of PC gaming gear. Given that I’m an Xbox girl in a PC world, I initially found it about as helpful as a Mozambique without a hop

Fire Emblem had been spinning its wheels for a long time before the release of Three Houses . Who could have guessed that the latest Fire Emblem game would be one of the most absorbing games of the year, with an interesting overarching story and an incredible battle system that is engaging without being watered down or too difficult to grasp. It can be hard to finish a game once, but Fire Emblem: Three Houses can easily convince players to go through it three times to see the whole story. It’s just a shame that you can’t pet the dog

The Grand Soirée Arcade will feature seven special game modes that will be switched out every two days. Some of these are returning favorites, while others are entirely new ways to loot and shoot in Apex . These modes incl

There will be two types of rewards available during the Grand Soirée Arcade event. First, there’s a variety of gun skins and a special Mirage skin that will be given out by earning points from the event challenges. The other fancy skins will added to Apex’s direct purchase shop along with other cosmetics inspired by Art Deco designs. Let’s take a look at what qualifies as fancy in the world of Apex Legends Legends Guide Lege

Always Be Closing (January 20-21): This mode takes Alec Baldwin’s advice a little too literally. The ring will do far more damage and will be constantly getting smaller and smaller throughout the entire ro

This chapter is primarily about the role of deliberate practice in improvement. A major takeaway is to set goals while playing to improve specific skills. For instance, in order to become better with sniper rifles, a person should plan to spend an entire gaming session practicing only sniper rifle kills. (Note to self: «Stop being a potato» is NOT a good go

We don’t think Crypto’s version of fancy is in line with the spirit of the Grand Soirée, but it’s certainly an interesting look. He looks less like he’s attending an exquisite old-fashioned party and more like he’s about to order bottle service at the club. But hey, points for eff

In this chapter, Ninja offers tips on pimping a stream to make it seem more professional. Recently, TheGamer invited me to do some product reviews. With a green screen backdrop, a nice LED light and more desktop space due to a wireless mouse option, I felt so good about my setup that I’m now convinced I’m the next Ninja (have you seen the header image on this stor

I have a lot of respect for Ninja. The man, alongside his wife, Jessica, built an a multinational empire by playing video games. I, on the other hand, spend most of my days in my pajamas, tweeting jokes and Photoshopping bad Apex Legends me

Pathfinder is the one throwing this shindig so he’s all decked out in a classic outfit befitting of a upper class 19 th century gentleman. Although this does raise the question of how he was able to grow a moustache, metallic facial hair is probably low on the list of insane things in Apex’s unive

For the Grand Soirée event, Respawn has overhauled its reward tracking system. Each of these modes will have their own challenges that will award you points. These points will then be put toward a prize track that will unlock special Soirée-related rewards for every milestone you hit. You can earn up to 1000 points from challenges in each mode, and players will complete battle pass challenges by playing these modes as well. As an added bonus, you’ll also receive a special badge for trying out each of these special modes, which is great because everyone loves a good ba
