The best upcoming High Graphics games of 2019 (and beyond)
Resident Evil 2
Platform(s): PS4, Xbox One, PC
Release date: January 25, 2019
Release date: January 25, 2019
Fans demanded it, and Capcom has responded in kind. The Resident Evil 2 remake takes you back to a survival horror classic, reacquainting us with Leon Scott Kennedy and Claire Redfield as they fight for their lives in the virus-infected Raccoon City. It's staggering to see what the Resident Evil 7 engine (and 20 years of graphical progress) has done for the visual revamp of this 1998 classic: the highly detailed zombies are covered in blood, slime, and rotting flesh, and the foreboding environments look frighteningly lifelike. The third-person, over-the-shoulder camera should bring the gameplay more in line with modern expectations, making for some truly claustrophobic scares, and the reimagined cutscenes strive to be legitimately spine-chilling as they retell the original story. Put simply, this remake won't be for the faint of heart.
Kingdom Hearts 3
Platform(s): PS4, Xbox One, PC
Release date: January 29, 2019
Release date: January 29, 2019
What better way to start the year than with the ultimate Final Fantasy/Disney mash-up? Kingdom Hearts 3 may have been delayed again at E3 2018, but this time Square Enix is really serious about its January launch window, with a firm date in sight for the proper threequel in the beloved series of titles. From Frozen to Wreck-It-Ralph, Kingdom Hearts 3 is making full use of the Disney brand, but the question is whether the gameplay of the PlayStation 2 era still holds up so many years later. Not long until we'll be able to say for sure...
Far Cry New Dawn
Platform(s): PS4, Xbox One, PC
Release date: February 15, 2019
Release date: February 15, 2019

Far Cry New Dawn is another full-size spinoff in Ubisoft's open-world FPS series, but it's more closely tied to the mainline games than the neon silliness of Blood Dragon or the prehistoric warfare of Primal. Following the canonical ending to Far Cry 5 in which - spoilers - Montana is bombed into oblivion, New Dawn skips ahead to a more lush countryside as humanity recovers from the nuclear blasts. But there's trouble afoot, as two villainous twin sisters and their Highwaymen gang threaten the lives of the peaceful Hope County survivors. You'll have to make a stand and fight back using a variety of post-apocalyptic gear in this verdant take on a Mad Max world, which will surely pack in all the chaos you've come to know and love from Far Cry. And, akin to Far Cry 5, you'll have a loyal animal companions like dogs and warthogs by your side, which will surely make New Dawn GOTY material for some players.
Jump Force
Platform(s): PS4, Xbox One, PC
Release date: February 15, 2019
Release date: February 15, 2019
For anyone unfamiliar with the longstanding series of Shonen Jump crossover fighters, you've been missing out on some all-out brawls between characters from the biggest anime and manga properties around. Bandai Namco's Jump Force is the latest to join the legacy, with fighters hailing from Dragon Ball Z, One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach, to name just a few. There are some atypical features to this 3v3 brawler: the action is viewed from a behind-the-back, third-person perspective, and your trio of combatants share one health bar even as you switch between them or call in assists. It may not have the competitive depth of its fighting game peers, but Jump Force looks like it'll be a fun time for fans thanks to its wildly diverse roster of iconic heroes and villains.
Crackdown 3
Platform(s): Xbox One, PC
Release date: February 15, 2018
Release date: February 15, 2018
In Crackdown 3 you’re a super-cop in an open-world city, using your powers to fight crime and smash the whole place up in the process. While there’s still a story campaign to tackle, the online co-op for up to four players is where it's at, letting you and your Agency buddies tear up this futuristic metropolis in chaotic style. You'll be leaping between buildings using your jumpjets in one moment, then raining down high-tech bazooka missiles onto any poor criminals the next. The addition of Terry Crews as a playable character is the perfect cherry atop this city-obliterating sundae.
Metro Exodus
Platform(s): PS4, Xbox One, PC
Release date: February 15, 2019
Release date: February 15, 2019
Metro Exodus is the third game in this criminally underappreciated post-apocalyptic FPS series, transporting you to the irradiated ruins of modern civilization, now teeming with mutated animals, which somehow still manage to look beautiful (in a bleak, desolate kind of way). You play as a hardened survivor slowly making your way across Russia during a harsh nuclear winter, fending off gigantic rats in abandoned subway tunnels and scavenging for supplies topside. Just be sure to keep an eye out for any radioactive bears that could get the jump on you.
Anthem

Platform(s): PS4, Xbox One, PC
Release date: February 22, 2019
Release date: February 22, 2019
Anthem is essentially EA's answer to Destiny: a shared-world shooter that aims to fully immerse players in a gigantic sci-fi universe. You play as a Freelancer (don't call them Guardians) engaging in third-person, Mass Effect-style shootouts, armored up in your Javelin exosuit to explore and exterminate within some gigantic alien biomes. As you might expect, there's an emphasis on party play (for up to four-player co-op) and the pursuit of increasingly impressive loot. It's also promising to hear that Anthem will be penned by the writer of KOTOR and the first two Mass Effect games, set in a world where ancient gods have abandoned a realm where humanity must fend for itself against monsters borne of a omnipresent power known as The Anthem.
Trials Rising
Platform(s): Switch, PS4, Xbox One, PC
Release date: February 26, 2019
Release date: February 26, 2019
It's been a while since the high-flying motorcycle stunts of the futuristic Trials Fusion, but Ubisoft's one-of-a-kind racing/platformer hybrid is back with Trials Rising, featuring a new suite of devilishly difficult challenges. As always, you'll need to launch off ramps and overcome awkward obstacles using nothing more than than your trusty motorcycle and the power of physics, aiming to cross the finish line as fast and flawlessly as possible. Unlike the sci-fi setting of Fusion, Rising takes you on a world tour of exotic, inventive courses, and mixes in some ludicrous set pieces to go with the more traditional tracks. This will also be the first Trials game on a Nintendo platform, and being able to attempt tracks while you're on the go with the Switch version sounds like a great fit.
Dirt Rally 2.0

Platform(s): PS4, Xbox One, PC
Release date: February 26, 2019
Release date: February 26, 2019
If you're looking for a driving hit this year then Dirt Rally 2.0 should have you covered. The classic rally series takes you on a racing adventure through tracks in New Zealand, Argentina, Spain, Poland, Australia and the USA, with over 50 cars to wreck/win with. This instalment leans into the idea of playing the long game with track deformation that degrades the course and changes grip as you race. And car damage carries over from event to event meaning you'll need to really master the 'My Team' mode to hire specialists to keep you in the running, as well as tune your car to perfection
