2019: the best video games are here
There is no doubt that the Death Stranding phenomenon did not go unnoticed, much less its producer Kojima Productions. And while it didn’t get the game of the year award, what it did do was create a precedent in the way the game was played. For which it was positioned as the game with the best narrative of 2019.
In the same category are Days Gone, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Kingdom Hearts III. Each of these has a unique and entertaining story, with a narrative that breaks with the norm.
