Most forgotten games of 2019
- Thread starter Phediuk
- Start date
Or any epic exclusive game in general ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Phoenix Point, Rebel Galaxy Outlaw, Anno 1800, Ancestors, even Outer Wilds is mostly forgotten
I haven't heard a peep about Borderlands 3 since launch week. For a huge game franchise that's pretty weird.

wasn't much to talk about really. It was more of the same.
Anthem is a 2019 game?
Because I can't even remember that. I had really high hopes for that game and they blew it.

That is crazy to me, feels like it came out years ago, even before Far Cry 5 which I know is impossible. I guess Far Cry 5 looks newer?
It was downright unplayable on PS4 so I sold it soon after.
Glad to see TJ&E in the OP as I came in just to mention that. An incredibly worthy followup to the original game that pays plenty of homage to the later installments. Thankfully it doesn't seem to have bombed but it definitely wasn't the smash hit it deserved to be. Anyone who loved the first game needs to play it, and anyone who didn't play the first game must be FUNKIFIED.
For a game people basically waited 10+ years for, KH3 feels like it just came and went with the ReMind dlc being a literal reminder about the game's existence. I had actually forgotten it came out this year earlier this month.

it was a strangely unambitious game for how long it had been in the works.
I think they did a great job of evolving the Metro franchise with Exodus while still having it feel true to the original games.....shame it was excluded from GOTY lists.....I'm looking forward to the next dlc early in 2020.
Travis Strikes Again
Nobody remembers the Switch hidden gem of january let alone the PC oder PS4 release.
Gameplay was fairly limited but the story was cool and it had some genuine WTF moments.
I'm pumped for NMH3.
I rarely see anyone post about the Far Cry: New Dawn and Wolfenstein: Youngblood except to say that they were mediocre.
Hyperbole in a couple of cases (in regards to the multiplatform games - fuck outta here if I gotta hear somebody telling me to give Outer Wilds an 11th chance) but there's a grain of truth to it, especially with non-Annapurna indies. It's either that getting paid up front took away motivation or impetus to actually promote the game, or the public stigma is just too much to deal with. In the latter case, I can't really blame them.
It's also the case with Superliminal, SuperMASH, Paranoia: Happiness Is Mandatory, Omen of Sorrow, Manifold Garden, Kine, The Sojourn, Observation, and Surviving The Aftermath (although that's technically early access).
I feel like most forgot about Steamworld Quest.
It was a fun game. Not as great as Heist or Dig 2 but definately good fun.

A few spring to mind:
- "Top" Pick: Vane. Hell, even Wikipedia barely has an article on it. It came out on Steam several months later to virtually no sales whatsoever.
- Travis Strikes Again. I actually had to double check whether it came out this year or last. Not even the No More Heroes III hype could bring TSA back into the discussion, though. It really just came and went.
- Fitness Boxing. Was a neat Switch fitness game for a little while and then no one talked about it. Even when RingFit Adventure came out, I never saw the game brought up in any "hey if I liked this, what else would I like?" discussions. Also not helping was that it came out extremely early in the year (January 4 in North America).
- Tropico 6 came out this year. We talked about it here for a little while and then it fell off the face of the earth. Not even the later PS4/XB1 port made much of a splash.
Borderlands 3 has been pretty much forgotten. That new DLC came out and I've barley seen anything about it.
Rage 2 anyone? For a game that had a huge budget, the support of a major publisher, and made multiple E3 appearances, it came and went like a fart in the wind.
I actually started playing this over xmas on gamepass. I'm enjoying it. The fundamentals are really solid, love the gunplay and action. Really suffers from openworld box ticking exercises though. There is a great game in there but they didn't get it right.
You are correct though, no fanfare to this release whatsoever.
Ghost Recon Breakpoint. It just came out in October but I don't really see anyone talking about it.
It makes me so sad because I loved the game.
Best RPG of 2019 and best RPG series of the 2010's. Too bad none of the major outlets even bothered to cover it, presumably because its an anime game and developed by a lesser mainstream studio than say Square-Enix or Level 5.
Ace Combat 7 and Pathologic 2 I guess as well
Late to the party but CS3 is at the franchise's peak so far and it bodes well for future titles. I believe it had the highest preorders and highest exposure from Falcom. We should be getting CS4 in 2020 as a result and I have a big feeling the Crossbell titles will be announced to being translated for 2021.

still doing fine if Twitch is any indication. It is not a Fortnite-level phenomenon though.
I remember this game.
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 3, anyone? This one got swept under the rug awfully quickly for being a Switch exclusive, developed by Team Ninja no less!
I know about it too, I wanted to play it.
How about Blaster Master Zero 2? The first one got a decent amount of attention at the Switch's launch, but this one seems to have been completely ignored.
This is about games that kind of fell into the background of the public conscious and Devil May Cry 5 just won Action Game of the Year at the Game Awards which was viewed by over 45 million people.
I just reinstalled The Division 2 recently and wow, there are a ton of quality-of-life updates:
- Targeted loot let's you do missions in a specific area of the map to get a good chance of getting a particular gear set, weapon type, etc
- They completely revamped recalibration and now allow you to recalibrate any Stat you want
- They fixed the crafting bench to max out at 500 GS
- They fixed the vendor loot to max out at 500 GS
Ok, that's made me want to take a look. Especially the second point. Thanks!
this is a good pick. they trotted it out a few times but not when it actually released. did a search for it recently because i was like "isnt this coming out soon?" only to find out it already had
I was hoping it would come to PC but i feel like I'll need to play it on PS4 now.
It's a shame because it's an amazing game. Even in this forum where Yakuza gets a good amount of love I rarely see anyone talk about Judgment.
Seems like Kiwami 2 came out a year ago on PC and still no word on the others, so if they aren't coming why would Judgment
It's bummer that it's not on PC yet, but if it makes you feel any better, the PS4 version runs really good and has no noticeable issues.
