EA: 10 Best Games Of The Last Decade, Ranked (According To Metacritic)

What can I say? I’m a sucker for Pokemon . The jump to the Switch wasn’t without its faults, yet I found myself enjoying every second of my time with the game. The Wild Area brings thrilling new content to the Galar region, the dialog is witty/corny, and the battles strike the sweet spot of being too easy and aggravatingly difficult. Many games might be more technically advanced, or tell a better story, but there isn’t a game this year I enjoyed more than the latest Pokemon advent

After rebelling against his creators, Kaleb — now Revenant — swore to find whoever did this to him, and eventually wished for true death. When he realized that the only way to «kill» himself was to destroy his hidden «real» head, Revenant entered the Apex Legends ranked Guide Games to gather as much information as he could regarding this object

Despite speculation that Electronic Arts would shut down game studio BioWare after back-to-back flops Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem , Kotaku’s Jason Schreier recently published an article claiming the beloved studio is alive and kicking . The game company is working on an overhaul of Anthem , he says, which it may call Anthem 2.0 or Anthem N

While I loved playing every game in my top five, I put Control at number one because of the way it grabbed my attention and held it in a way that the other four just couldn’t. It was creepy and bizarre in all the right, unique ways. I’d obviously never want to actually venture into the Oldest House for real, but Control made it a joy to explore with its unsettlingly intriguing twists and tu

The thing is, Anthem isn’t a terrible game. It certainly isn’t the best, but there are plenty of objectively bad games with dedicated audiences. If the masses hadn’t been so mesmerized by Apex Legends ‘ launch, Anthem may have had a chance to find its footing within the streamer commun

Cloud-based silencing: When Silence hits an enemy, it deals a small amount of damage. It’s because its debuff happens after it explodes on contact. When the projectile explodes, it bursts into a cloud that lingers for 10 seconds. Getting hit by the cloud or walking into it triggers the silenc

Apex Legends is the result of careful balance tweaks from the masterfully made Titanfall 2 , combined with typical gameplay systems all come to expect from a Battle Royale . But that is selling this game short. The inclusion of unique character abilities and squads helps this BR title stand above the r

A large focus on teamwork and coordination makes Apex Legends a great game for new players or experienced players of this genre alike. Even the worst of players can use the phenomenal ping system to help out the rest of their squad. Plus, this game is completely f

2019 provided gamers with a ton of memorable and fun titles that will likely continue to thrive in the coming years. While we are certainly an eclectic group of writers with different tastes and #1 picks, it was Resident Evil 2 that was mentioned most in our lists, earning the title out TheGamer’s Game of the Year for 2

Should your attack fail, using a smoke bomb or artillery strike can allow you to disengage from the fight and retreat to assess what went wrong. This combined with the fact that Bangalore gets faster when under fire means that she is a hard woman to get the jump

Disco Elysium is a game where you can be a godawful human being or a superstar cop. I don’t think I’ve had more fun this year with a game than I did stumbling around as my drunken detective, wearing a kimono and waxing poetic about liquor, karaoke, and the pointlessness of life. It’s not for everyone, but if you love world-building and playing as self-loathing scumbags, then you should be playing Disco Elysium until you’re face down on the fl

If EA intended to segment audiences with these two supposedly distinct titles, it proves they don’t understand crossover audiences. Think of Switch players who played both The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Fortnite . Think about someone like DrLupo, a former Destiny player who now primarily plays Fortnite and dabbles in World of Warcraft Class

It’s possible the decision to release Apex Legends before Anthem was an intentional move to draw attention away from what EA knew would be a disastrous launch. Maybe in the weeks leading up to Anthem ‘s release, executives realized the game would be critically panned. After the beta period, players were quick to note how «broken» the game f

Even if you dislike the gameplay presented in this title, the amount of genuine passion present makes this game such a treat to play, finally nailing the feeling of Star Wars that fans haven’t seen in arguably a dec

Based on my Xbox data, it appears the top one percent of players still put in almost double the time of even those in the 98th percentile. Theoretically, the 98th percentile has spent half as much time in the game and would therefore still not be quite as good as the top one perc
