Top 10 Best Video Games of 2018

I am an Xbox fan, but even I have to admit that Spider-Man PS4 and the new God of War are some of the best games I have EVER seen, and I haven't played them. That's impressive, especially when they are up against games like the Borderlands series, the Elder Scrolls series (Particularly Skyrim), and the Batman Arkham series. I got a PS4 for God of War and Spider-Man alone!

Athena: There's nowhere you can hide, Spartan. Put as much distance between you and the truth as you want, it changes nothing. Pretend to be everything you are not: teacher, husband, father. But there is one unavoidable truth you will never escape: You cannot change. You will always be a monster.

Kratos: I know. But I am your monster no longer.

This game is by far one of the greatest I have ever seen. I am not voting for this because I am a PlayStation fanboy, but this really is the best of 2018. Games like Monster Hunter World, Spider-Man, Red Dead Redemption 2 all are great, but this one deserves the top spot.

Such a good story, full of action, makes you love the characters, and so many chills and hype from the previous games! Overall, in my opinion, it is the best game of all the God of War series, and is close to being one of the best action games of our time. So good.

Also, why everyone voting for Fortnite? It is literally, as Southpark once said, a FREEMIUM GAME.

This game is INCREDIBLE. The huge (and I mean HUGE) open world is amazingly detailed, the random character encounters you can run into are interesting and almost never repeat, the stupendously amazing story, great character arcs, beautiful graphic, emotional moments, groundbreaking AI... I could go on forever. Not to mention the fact that you can choose how to play the game; you can be the evil outlaw, or the heroic outlaw. I cannot even begin to say how incredible this game is, you have to play it for yourself. Definitely game of the year material, and definitely one of the most influential games I've ever played.

3 days into playing this game and I can't stress any further how groundbreaking it is. The amount of pinpoint detail put into it, the gripping story, the insanely massive and vast beautiful open world to explore, and the bloody action are just few of what make Red Dead Redemption 2 not just good, but one of the greatest video games I've played, and I'm only 3 days in. Who knows what other amazing things I could find on my exploration of this world? Rockstar Games proves once again that they can't be outmatched nor will they ever be.

If you want further convincing to buy this game immediately, they actually outdid Grand Theft Auto V with this.

I almost decided not to vote on this one and go with Spider-Man or god of war, not because it's a bad game but because I could write for ever about how good this game is. When you first look at this your like god this game is garbage and ughh Arthur Morgan we'res jhon!? But it works it really works the storytelling, encounters, gun fights, and stupendously emotional scenery. And people think you have to rush through the game but it's slow meaning you can explore the vast open frontier that is the American west while still keeping up with the story. And if robbing or killing using your thing you can hunt and complete your compendium, and there's an honor system so you decide if your good or bad and Esther way both good and bad it will effect the way people act torwads you. I defiantly recommend you get this game.

This game is easily the best of the year, and I don't know why it isn't first place. Honestly, it is the most anticipated, at the least, and it has been worked on and refined for nine years, the graphics are incredible, the attention to detail is incredible, honestly, the AI are the best I've ever seen, ever. Easily should be number one on this list.

I had a really fun time playing this game and I'm so glad it made top 5 with the likes of greats like red dead 2 and God of war. I loved everything about the game the boss battles were spectacular including the surprise villain ( which I'm not gonna spoil ). I loved the suits (especially the spider punk and vintage comic suit) I also really loved the story and DLC content. only problem I had was raging during Taskmasters challenges but that's really the only complaint, can't wait for the sequel and the other console games marvel has in store

Should be number one. I love all suits, ecspecially Spider Armour MK 2 and Velocity Spider-Man. Amazing storyline and bosses. MJ is great. So is Miles. Makes me have feelings for the characters. When they are sad, I am sad. When they are happy, I am happy.

Best game. I'm $33 ( including my brothers money) away from the deluxe. it deserves to be #1. Fortnite, Red Dead 2, God of war, pretty much everything is trash compared to this game. Exept Fortnite. It's ok, I guess.

This is an awesome game. Come on, who doesn't want to swing around in New York fighting criminals. There are better games, but this deserves top 3.

It's October 16th as I type this... 52 days left... I can't take it anymore. Not even Zelda BotW and Mario Odyseey made me feel this impatient and frustrated... this game will completely dominate my life. I'm on my knees praying we get either Geno, Isaac or Banjo Kazooie... and I would feel blessed if we got all three of them, even if it was after launch as DLC. Even if they don't make the base game, K Rool, Simon, Ridley, Isabelle and Inkling all look incredible! And my Brawl main Snake is finally back, and I can't wait to play as him again. It's going to be truly Ultimate, the perfect game. No offense to God of War, Red Dead, or any other game, but Smash Ultimate will, and will always, be the best game this year.

This game is going to be amazing without a doubt, but the comments I tend to go through and the hyperactive hype and fanbase frustrates me these days. Nintendo fanboys these days are turning out to be arrogant and make comments that make me cringe, and this is coming from someone who loves Nintendo.

I just hope the anticipation mellows out, considering how ridiculous the SSB fanbase tends to get. Its going to be among 2018's best games, but I'm also considering Smash Ultimate to probably be this year's most overrated video game too.

Amazing game. It has 74 fighters+ 6 DLC characters coming out soon, (joker from persona 5 is one of the DLC fighters! ) 103 stages,900+ music tracks and an ADVENTURE MODE! Anyways, the gameplay is super smooth and reminds me of Melee when playing with a GameCube controller. Also it is quite challenging. A level 3 CPU is equalivant to brawl's Level 7 CPU. But it's not so challenging that you'll get tired of the game and never play it again. Unlike spiderman, GOW and red dead this game has infinite replayability so you'll never get tired of it. I'm not asking for it to be number one. Smash is completely different from red dead and spiderman. Just play what you like and don't insult other people for their preferences.

It may have come out at the end but I enjoyed it the second I got it and still love it. It might be my favorite game it general I have a blast with online (though it costs money) I usually never get lag spikes and the adventure mode is fun to play when I am bored of online and the other modes. I also l really enjoy how each character has their own classic mode.

Remains to be quite similar to two of its predecessors, but its heart still doesn't lose steam as this series remains to be a good time for fans and first-timers, especially in online co-op.

A great game for those who seeks games that test their button pressing skills, Far Cry games were always been my favourite. Although the story is kind of unrelatable to anything, it's still enjoyable game..!

The Far Cry series has never failed to Amaze me, and this is the most complete with badass villain, cool combat system and all.

Great story mode game. Awesome graphics and characters. Always been a unique franchise like none other.

Finishing the game I can truly say that this is among one of my most favorite games of all time. It's unique, charming, emotional, and diverse. The characters each have a certain tone to their storylines and playing with them will get you to grow with at least one character. If you finish with one bad ending it can hit you in the feels pretty hard (as I did with Kara) and finishing the game leaves you wanting more. The most interesting thing about the game is that each choice you make leads you to a different path and gives the game a significant amount of replay value for a single player game. It may have its minor plotholes, but it dosen't stop it from being the masterpiece it is. Very good game from Quantic Dream. The effort wasn't wasted and those years of development were worth it.

There are just so many different outcomes for your story, it just feels like every time you play you get a different outcome for your story which means you can just play this game over and over and you will still have different endings. The storyline is fantastic and it reflects on real (fighting for freedom, the terrifying future of artificial intelligence etc). The soundtrack is perfect and the game is just overall amazing. Why isn't it 1st?

I finished the game and it was one of the most unique gaming experiences I've ever had. The characters, the story, the emotions, the choices, flowcharts and everything else in it dragged me into the game. I grew with the characters a lot and boy, just one bad ending from one character can hit you hard.

One of a kind. Even with the painful exposition, the world building is great, the graphics are phenomenal, the choice feature is so impressive I nearly gained epilepsy after seeing the flowchart of a single scene, and the characters are so good. 11/10 would recommend.

BRING THIS GAME TO #1!
I finally got a Kirby game and this was my first one! I was absolutely blown away by the graphics compared to other Kirby games I've seen people play. They brought back the helper system, which I liked. So yeah I haven't finished it yet but I already love it!

So far, I'd like to give a vote to kirby's perfect debut for the switch, sonic mania is my 2nd favorite sonic game, and I'm thinking about whether to vote for that when the plus version comes out. it makes me so SICK that Fortnite is #1 on the list.

Fortnite came out last year. It wasn't even nominated game of the year 2017, so why popular now? It's just a ripoff that's only more popular than what it ripped off because it's free. Kirby best game until SMASH 2018 BABY!

This game is so excellent. Excellent story, excellent visuals, game play was good. Why is this game so underrated? It's really good and way better than a stupid game called Fortnite.

I love Spyro and his comeback will be amazing! This game has so much atmosphere and pure fun combined with smooth and stunning graphics, this time. It's not boring with all these tecnical aspects that ruin modern games, in my opinion. As a Spyro fan, this is a love letter for all the platformers fans and all the gamers in general. Enjoy if you can!

Muh childhood, Great that a younger generation can play this gem of a gem collector dragon.

Looking forward to this

Another month to go!

The year has just begun so I'll vote for something that actually has come out. This game is marvelous, one of the best dragon ball games and actually one of the fighting game I've ever played. The story is something new with correct tone coming from the anime. Gameplay is fantastic and battles seem exactly lile the anime. The art design and graphics are marvelous and you get invested. Gameplay is easy to learn and also the process is very fast. There are many of options or playable modes to get invested. Every single character is fantastic (yes, even yamcha) and everything is balanced. My only problem with that is that the character rosted is very disappointing (in my opinion). Another problem is that other characters and music will be paid dlc! That's abussive actually and it makes me think that in the future for 60 bucks we will only have the right to acess to a game but that the menu, the music, the dialogues and practically everything will have to paid separately. Nevertheless ...more

For one who loves the Dragon Ball series and has played nearly every of its games, this one stands out as exceptional. Screw God of War and (especially) screw Fortnite, this game is the game of the year. A beautiful art style, fast-paced gameplay, a balanced roster, simple yet strategic gameplay and a actually great story mode. This is everything you could wish for in a fighting game, plus its Dragon Ball! Is there anything bad that's come out of the series (apart from the Golden Frieza saga and Gotenks.)

It's Dragon ball, there's not much to say...the mechanics are excellent, gameplay is easy for newcomers, graphics were perfectly molded to the game, it's like watching an episode.
Finally a Dragon Ball fighting game that worth every penny.

This game feels like it was made for casuals, but then at the same time, you get stomped on if you are one. No reason for it to be the best.

One of the best games created in a long time, loved it so much. I've already beaten it multiple times, plus the DLCs make it so much better.

You don't know what an RPG game is like until you play this well structured game.

I'm getting this one too. It's going to be my first Assassin's Creed game.

I love the new "setup" this game has rather than the past games.

Such an amazing game. The gameplay is challenging, but still very fun and exiting. The story is incredibly well-written and beautiful. The pixel art is gorgeous and the soundtrack might be one of the best indie game soundtracks I've ever heard.

One of the greatest games I've ever played. Beautiful soundtrack, precise controls, crystal clear graphics, and a touching story.

Awesome platformer. If it wasn't for the other Incredible games released this year, it probably would have been the Game Of The Year

One of my favourite games EVER. amazing soundtrack, emotional story and perfect level design makes this the greatest game of 2018

This is the first game in the classic series with 2.5D graphics. I was hoping for ultra realistic blood and guts, and for mega man to pull out dr wilys intestines and play jump rope with them before murdering him, but unfortunately we didn't get that. Step up your game, capcom!
P.s. that ball guy is stupid

Haven't played much games that came out this year. However, this game was great. Would recommend. The Blue Bomber somehow remains good.

All I know about Mega Man is that the second one for the NES sucked.

The little Blue Bomber is back.

It's a bit similar to its previous game as far as gameplay but somehow I still got hooked to it. Maybe it's the new setting which is full of life and beauty and, in my opinion, looks even more gorgeous than FH3, especially considering the seasonal change. Also with its vast amount of cars to choose from and their customization options, this game definitely is a shoo-in for my top 10 games of the year. A must-play for any racing gamer.

Great on on Xbox One X but the steering wheel controls suck.
Better in windows 10 as the steering wheel controls kick A**.

Best car game invented

Hell yeah, I'm stoked

The whole idea of a two player game where you can see the other person's screen was amazing in itself. The game's storyline far surpassed most game's I've seen this year. The ending messed with me more than most other games, only surpassed by The Last Of Us. I was fully in crying two different times during the ending.

Spoilers Ahead: When Vincent still grabbed Leo's hand when he was dying, though they were fighting just moments earlier, I was tearing up. But when Alex screamed "Mom", the tears came.
If you choose to kill Vincent, when Vincent hands Leo the letter, I almost cried. But when Leo rings the doorbell and drops off the letter and Carol reads it, I started crying.

From what I've played so far, I find it a fun, good game in general that is further improved by the stupid stuff tat you can do throughout.

Already have a contender for GOTY. This was so much fun. Make sure to play this with a close bud, makes the experience all the more enjoyable.

WHAT? Lower than that overrated and crappy fortnite? NO WAY
A way out is a God damn masterpiece put it on number 2 instead

Uhh, Sonic is dead at this point, they just made this just to make more money for 10 dollar dlc, and to make a physical copy, why is there a physical copy? , I mean I guess some people don't like using gift cards and having a digital game that they can't sell, but this game looks good, it's just that sonic died in 2006, then came back with good games in 2010, then died again in 2014, wouldn't be surprised if Sega dies and turns into dust like THQ and other game developers no one remembers did, Sega, I don't feel so good...

Thank GOD this game was rereleased, so I can gush all over this game. It looks beautiful, even though it uses sprites, it's fast paced, takes the best parts of previous games and throws out the negatives, bosses are actually quite good, plenty of replay, and unlike a certain BR game that came out in 2017, stuff actually happens!

This would've been the game I voted for, but it is more of a 2017 game to me. All the zones are fun, encore mode plays nicely, Ray and Mighty fit in well and are fun to play as, and the 1.04 patch has zone transitions that were missing in the original game! This game is perfect to me, I don't care what anyone else says.

Any Sonic game is automatically the best game of the year. And I don't care what people say about Sonic Forces, that was the first Sonic game I actually played and its AWESOME! Sonic Mania is the second Sonic game I played and I absolutely LOVED IT SO MUCH!

This is by far the most underrated games of this year and one of this year and I will bet in several years time this will be considered one of the most underrated games ever. All the minigames are exciting, the coin system adds to the gameplay and you can still play the game tons of times after finishing the main story. It's very good. If you've never played a game from this series, I reccomend starting with this one.

This game is lower than Fortnite, Kirby Star Allies, Baldi, Lego games, and Mario Tennis?
Come on! This game is better than all of them!

Played the demo and it's good! I want to play the full thing.

So we are October 5 today and this game just came out, I didn't buy it but I know it brings back the same formula as the original Mario Party games, no cars, just real boards. Plus you can play mini-games online with other people!
Surely it's great and it should be in the top 15.

So glad they got rid of the car mechanic.

Super Mario Party is awesome!

Best Mario Party to date

Well this was a surprise, wasn't it?

All this time I thought BO4 would be a complete dumpster fire since it felt like BO3 + Fortnite, I was wrong. The game is a big improvement over some of the other entries, but does it really deserve best game...? Not really, no. I'd say give it a try though, if you want.

So my opinion has changed on this game. I got it for Black Friday and honestly it was much better than I thought it was going to be. The zombies is the best part. They now added a difficulty level which is good.

I love this game this Multiplayer is awesome and this way better then some of the other games above it.

Call Of Duty was a franchise I considered trash(except a few games). But this one stands out.

Same thing as last year but slightly updated graphics and more characters.

The 2k showcase mode is finally coming back!

Really good graphics

With AJ as champion a Daniel Bryan showcase with Velocity in pumped

This game is really underrated. I have never played Just Cause 1 but I can say that Just Cause 2 is one of my favourite games of all time. Jc3 was great as well but it has a much worse map and less missions and stuff to explore. Just Cause 4 seems really good and it should have twice as big map as Jc2 & 3 which is amazing. I hope it's detailed too. The physics in this game are really fun and the story is not so important because this game is fun and never gets boring. Just cause 4 is going to be awesome and I'm sure about that. December 4, can't wait!

Hopefully it's more like Just Cause 2 than Just Cause 3. Just Cause 4 has different biomes like Just Cause 2, and hopefully they'll get rid of the boring challenges required for equipment upgrades, and the ridiculous load times that were in Just Cause 3.

Not out yet, but the hype is real.

This game is so fun but it is not for everyone and still has a lot of room for improvement. I have thoroughly enjoyed it and feel like I have gotten my money's worth out of it but that is just for me. Make sure to play with at least one other person when you are playing because otherwise you aren't getting the full experience of the game. Overall it is a very good game although does feel a little content empty sometimes.

Most underrated game of all time. I'll remember this as one of the best games I've ever played.

It is AWESOME you go around on your pirate boat and dig up treasure a
