Why Ape Out Is Leo's 2019 Game Of The Year
Of all the freeform jazz top down beat-em-up procedurally-generated ape games that came out this year, Ape Out easily makes the top 5. I bought into the game's unbelievable style and environmentalist catharsis so fully that it was the only possible choice for my personal GOTY award.
Alex Stadnik joins me in the video above to show off content from the middle of the game's first album to the middle of the second, highlighting the remarkable variety between environments. We also talk about Titanfall 2, the real game of the year every year. For more raving on our favorite games of 2019, find the full playlist on YouTube!
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
