What were your favorite games in 2018?
Doesn't have to be a game released in 2018, doesn't have to be a top ten list. Share what you enjoyed and what stood out to you.
God of War - I think this might be one of the best games I've ever played. The quality of this games design and writing is first class. Loved the reinterpretation of Kratos.
Super Mario Odyssey - this might also be one of the best games I've played. It's pure gameplay excellence. A ridiculously well made platformer.
Destiny 2 Forsaken- Destiny 2 wasn't even a blip on my radar, I was actually focused on Spider-Man and Tomb Raider but then I played the free PS+ version and I was hooked. I don't know how many hours I put into this. Probably hundreds. It's one of the best shooters I've ever played.
Spider-Man - I was very cold this game before playing it. I felt the gameplay footage and the character's seemed a step back, however once I got into the swing of things (see what I did there?) I fell in love with Spider-Man. This is a amazing open world game and a spectacular super hero experience. I hope they make a dozen of these games.
Wolfenstein 2 - this game felt a bit like it was treading water before a third finale but it's a hell of a shooter and it has some of the craziest story moments I've ever seen in a game.
COD: WW2 - I didn't expect to like this game but both the campaign and multiplayer was great fun. I think I spent 80% of this game playing Shipment and murdering people with shotguns.
Detroit Become Human - haven't finished this yet but this is the best game yet from David Cage and Quantic Dreams. I love the unique way they turn an adventure game type of choose your own story, into a tense and captivating game.
Ratchet and Clank 2016 - really good remake of original R&C. As always it's the guns and upgrades that drive there games and it's as good as it's ever been.
Dishonored: Death of the Outsider - playing a Dishonored game where you don't have to worry about chaos is fun. I murdered sooo many people in this game.
Horizon: Zero Dawn - I'm not quite as hot on this game as other people on the forum but it's a very good and unique open world game. The story was a bit meh in my opinion but it sure went places.
The naughty list. Games that disappointed me.
Far Cry 5 - I loved 3 and 4 but 5 just didn't click. Bad story, forced copy paste story chapters, uninteresting characters, fewer weapons, boring missions.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider - the gameplay and exploration is still solid but the writing took a nosedive in this one. As the conclusion to the trilogy about Crofts origin, this was very disappointing.
Red Dead Redemption 2 - yeah, I know it's pretty crazy placing this game down here, but the more I played it, and more and more and more I played, it started to grate on me. The ridiculous travel distances, the inconvenient fast travel system, the lacking trapper shops, the tired Rockstar formula in general. What really soured me on the game was the story. It's not really a badly told story but it's very dissatisfying.
It's a very well made game but it's just not for me.
