The 10 Best Games Of E3 2019

So what have we learned? When developers or publishers use casual phrases that might be related to their franchises, there's a good chance most of the time that it means nothing. That said, Hines did tell me tonight that he thinks Bethesda might be on the BRINK of something new, so, you never know


If there's one thing that I cannot understate about my time playing DOOM Eternal this week it would be that it just feels incredible to play. The shooting, movement, and everything else in between just feel s perfect. Conveying the feel of a game is a hard thing to get across in pieces like this without having actually played it for yourself, but the way everything bleeds into one another in this game is incredi


Against all of my expectations coming into E3, DOOM Eternal somehow managed to exceed everything that I hoped it would be. As a sequel to the best shooter of this generation (in my humble opinion), id Software really had its work cut out for them in the pursuit of topping everything that made 2016's game so stellar. From what I've played of Eternal , the latest hell-raising shooter doesn't seem to just be a half-step up, but is instead a major improvement in every discernable


"Whether or not folks realize it, this is the hell on Earth time for us with E3," Hines told us during our conversation at PAX East. Many other outlets saw this "hell on Earth" comment specifically and thought it was a surefire tease that Hines was casually dropping into our conversation to let fans know that a new DOOM game would indeed be appearing at E3. Turns out, Hines wasn't playing four-dimensional chess in the middle of our conversat


Choice was a big theme among some of our favorite E3 2019 games, like Dying Light 2 . In our demo, developer Techland wanted to highlight how the player’s decisions as Aiden Caldwell will determine the world that they inhabit. Certain areas of the map will be completely locked off if players make one choice, while another player’s map might look totally different. And when it is all said and done, Techland expects players will only have seen about 50% of the g


Hines went on to tell us that other members of his team relayed to him that his use of the phrase ended up becoming newsworthy, to which he found funny. "It was the perfect tease, according to my team." He didn't even remember saying the phrase to us and he seemed surprised that he did so. In the end, though, he found it to be poetic that he did use the expression. Obviously, he full-well knew that DOOM Eternal would be revealed soon, although he was by no means trying to tease it to us at that mom


While these short sections did break things up, the traversal mechanics that have been added in combat arenas are largely great. Jumping and swinging on a monkey bar to launch yourself into the air only to then drop out of the sky and blast a Cacodemon in the face with your Super Shotgun is extremely satisfy


Another addition to DOOM Eternal this time around is the advent of 1-Ups which you can collect around the world. Grabbing these will allow you to, well, have an extra life that will revive you on the spot once you die -- and trust me, you will die. This seems like a bit of an odd addition to Eternal at first, but the game also seems like it's a lot harder than 2016's installment based on what I played. Because of this, grabbing 1-Up tokens spread about the world are almost vital at times and will allow larger engagements to be a bit more manageable. The best part of this is that if you do die and have an extra life, you're immediately revived on the spot merely a second later. The pace of the combat isn't broken up whatsoever and you can largely stay locked-in to what you're do


RAGE 2 is incomparable with other post-apocalyptic games coming out this year, and looking to shake up the formula. Merging open-world gameplay with break-neck close combat action, the game will scratch a DOOM itch while we wait for DOOM Eternal . However, Avalanche Studios is setting up to evolve how we look at combat in a modern open-world FPS, and you should be exci
