But now that you&#8217;re here, let&#8217;s dispense with the semantic bait.  Let&#8217;s just say these ten games from the first half of 2019 have most effectively captured my attention, my imagination, and my time.&nbsp; Which, to be fair, is pretty much my definition of &#8220;best&#8221;.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But first, the disclaimer.&nbsp; I haven&#8217;t yet played Total War: Three Kingdoms, inkle&#8217;s Heaven&#8217;s Vault, or Zen Studio&#8217;s Oprencia.&nbsp; I petered out before making much progress in Far Cry: New Dawn, Metro: Exodus, and Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2, all of which I was mildly enjoying in the hopes they might get better.&nbsp; I may never know.  Also, I understand there&#8217;s a Crackdown 3, but you either have to hook up a useless Xbox One in your living room or wade into the hip-deep torturous inconvenience of the Microsoft Store to play it.&nbsp; I love Crackdown as much as the next guy, but I have my limits.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was enjoying Anno 1800 and World War Z immensely &#8212; immensely! &#8212; but both of them managed a critical failure that cancelled all my progress, and therefore all my enthusiasm.&nbsp; In the case of Anno 1800, I hit a scripting bug in the campaign that brought everything to a screeching halt, but without me realizing it until a few hours of citybuilding later.  The bug was eventually fixed, but not for people who had already run into it.&nbsp; So many hours down the drain.  In the case of World War Z, I couldn&#8217;t change the game&#8217;s resolution.  In the course of troubleshooting the issue, I Googled solutions, edited .ini files, rolled back graphics drivers, and waited on Focus Home Interactive&#8217;s non-existent technical support.&nbsp; Eventually, I resorted to the nuclear option: a full uninstall and reinstall. That&#8217;s how I discovered the Epic Games Store doesn&#8217;t have cloud saves, and furthermore Focus Home Interactive&#8217;s online servers can&#8217;t be bothered to store a 4kb user_progression.dat file that tracks all your  progress, but only exists on your hard drive. Without that file, the server thinks I&#8217;ve never even played.&nbsp; I guess Focus Home Interactive expected me to back it up on a 5 1\/4 floppy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So much for all that.
