Long time, no blog.  Life is busier than ever with toddler, still newish city, and about 6 months into a much needed new job.  I am currently playing Sekiro and the only other game I completed this year is RE2.

One thing I have been thinking about recently, is how 2019 could end up being one of my favorite years in gaming.  I just wanted to quick run through a list of games, both released and upcoming that should provide context as to why this is my year in games.

Played: 
RE2 - holy crap, this game came and devoured me like a zombie devours the living.  
Sekiro - I played Bloodborne late last year and was reminded how much I loved that game.  Sekiro takes most of what I love from Bloodborne and cranks it up into a pure action game removing the RPG elements.

Upcoming/Unplayed:
Metro Exodus:  I have been a fan of this series since 2033...  hence my name.  I haven't gotten to it yet since RE2 took longer than I was anticipating and Sekiro was 2 weeks off and I did knew I wanted to start Sekiro on day 1.
Kingdom Hearts 3:  KH 1 and 2 were games I loved back when they released, while my excitement for 3 has waned, the fact it released in 2019 is notable.
Yoshi's Crafted World:  I have always been a fan of the Yoshi games, even if I haven't played all of them.
Rage 2:  I have been a fan of bethesda's publishing output the past few years.  I also loved 2016 Doom and Mad Max.  This looks to be an awesome blend of both.
Wolfenstein Youngbloods:  I think I have talked quite a bit about my love of The New Order and The New Collosus here, so this shouldn't be a surprise.  Also, Arkane is working on this and they are one of my favorite developers.
Control:  Don't have much to say, just excited for a game featuring what appears to be psychic powers.
Jedi Fallen Order:  Had a blast with Titanfall 2's campaign, plus Star Wars...
XIII:  So, apparently they are remaking the pretty slick cel-shaded FPS from a couple gens back.
The Outer Worlds:  Obsidian made my favorite of the new Fallout games and this game looks to scratch some of the itch Fallout 4 wasn't able.
Bloodstained:  Ritual of the Night:  Iga, need I say more?
Doom Eternal:  Think I covered why with Rage 2.
Shovel Knight:  King of Cards:  Do i need to explain myself?
Rune Factory 4 Special:  I had a blast with this game on 3DS, wouldn't mind coming back to it with a fresh coat of paint.
Link Awakening:  A Link to the Past is one of my all-time favorite games...  of course i want another 2D Zelda...  even if it isn't technically 2D.

And then there is all of the unannounced games since the later half of the year looks rather empty.  I know I am missing some games, just can't think of them now.
