Best Video Games of 2017-2018

Since Htoutlaws2012 made a list of the worst games from these years. Time for an opposite version. These are the best games from these years. Feel free to add any games i missed on the list.
The Top Ten
1 Red Dead Redemption 2

Incredible game! The story is deep, complex and so interesting. All characters are well developed. Also, the attention to detail is simply phenomenal! There is always something going on in the world around you, so many possibilities and things to do. This is probably the best game I have ever played.

The best prequel and definitely my favorite game of all time. Incredible story, the characters felt real, the graphics are insanely good for a console game (i'm still confused on how they made it look so damn good on the xbox and playstation with their hardware limitations compared to pc), the attention to detail is insane, the world is the most alive it has ever been in a video game, and the player can interact with almost anything. 10/10. deserved goty for sure.

I have not played it yet but it looks truly amazing. Can't wait to play but I still haven't played the 1st. Either way this looks like an outstanding game with beautiful graphics. This one definitely seems worth the wait after 8 years. That's Almost a decade after.

I've finished it, what a ride it was. Amazing plot, amazing characters, amazing graphics, and the attention to detail is just phenomenal. It took me around 50 hours to complete. One of the best games I have ever played.

2 Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Everyone is here! Nintendo fans don't see this or Odyssey or Breath of the Wild at number 1. *TRIGGERED* yeh sorry Nintendo fans, but while those are good games. I just find games like RDR2 and Spiderman to be better in terms of originality and plot. Anyway to Smash ultimate. This is definitely going to be a great game. I love the Smash bros games and this is most likely going to be great. The final direct was so good! I am definitely looking forward to getting this when I get the Nintendo switch. So far this is my most wanted game for when I get my switch. I can't wait to play as pretty much everyone and espically the newcomers like Piranha, Simon Belmont, King K Rool, Ridley, Etc! Awesome looking so far.

Super smash bros ultimate is a very good game in my option the game has many charters and world of light is a fun mode but can get boring sometimes the stages are good but some of my favorites didn't retrun and the wait from march of 2018 was wroth it

So many characters! I was super excited for this game and being able to play as chrom, ridley, King K. Rool, inklings, and every other new comer. The story mode is awesome and we still got the Dlc characters to go!

This game has to score #1 I mean this game is overhyped and I see why, do you see how many people datamined this game? There is a reason why. So then the internet could spoil the hype. Jerk move on their part

3 God of War

The story is beautiful: About a father and son roaming the land to spread their mothers ashes.
Gameplay: Fun combos, good mechanics and great teamwork with Atreus (Your son)
There are also multiple plot twists to keep you hooked
Side quests: Side quests also help you not only to get you rewards but makes you Bond with your son even more.
Secret Boss Fight: THE MOST HARDEST BOSS EVER! I’d rather fight every bloodbourne Boss than fight Sigrun.

P.s if you don’t have this game and I spoiled it for you.. stop what your doing and go check it out. I recommend it.

I haven't played this one yet but it looks Beautifuly made! Sony is on a roll with their exclusives for their consoles. After a awesome comeback to a series. This is how you do it. With amazing graphics and gameplay.

This definitely deserves a higher spot than spider-man and debatebly deserves a higher spot than Red dead 2

This is a game that has the best story, mixed with great gameplay, it should be number 1

4 Fortnite

Ok I know It's overrated sure and that many people on the site hate this game and that it has some flaws but it's still a great game in my opinion. I just find it to be so creative (Other than the BR idea of PUBG.) Fortnite added building and new items like Launch Pads and etc. The Save the World mode is good too but gets way too boring honestly. Oh and Battle Royale is free! I just really like this game.

What why is this in front of every other game on this list?! This game sucks, and is boring, too.
My explanation? Too many tryhards and annoying glitches. People get addicted to this game and get sucked into this “free” battle royale game. It feels lazy and overrated, and there are so many better games out there.
Overall, fortnite sucks and is not special.

This game is overrated, but for real? It isn't THAT bad. I mean, it has a creative concept. I don't care for it, but it shouldn't get as much hate as it has gotten.

I love this game! I spend so much time on it, though I think that you should be able to play creative mode without xbox live gold.

5 The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

This game gets a bit boring at times (please Don't throw your spoons and pitchforks at me nintendo fans) but it still has great gameplay. Either way would give it a 8/10 (don't throw your fire at me nintendo fans) honestly.

Nintendo fanbase gets angry when we say bad about any of the games, but this one gets boring at times, just like B1ueNew said but it is a really great game. But I think that Horizon Zero Dawn should have won GOTY. Don't get angry at me Nintendo fans, because I "am" one.

Best game I've ever played in a while. It's just so good. I spent 300 hours on it (DLC Included) and still haven't finished it 100%. Lots of content. Worth the high price.

Smash Bros. Ultimate kinda sucks. I played it and hated it, and I liked all other smash games, this game is better

6 Spider-Man

Amazing game. Great story and likeable characters. A great exclusive. I'm planning to review this by the end of the year. But yeah after Insomniac made Spyro and Ratchet & Clank. They teamed up with Marvel to this game. This might be the best superhero game other than the Batman Arkham series.

It's hella addicting. One of the best "PlayStation" exclusives till date.

I might get this as if it as good as Batman Arkham, then I'm in for a treat.

This is almost as good as the Spectacular Spider-man T.V. Show. This game is absolutely fantastic.

7 Spyro Reignited Trilogy

This game has beautiful graphics, and it totally makes up for that Skylanders crap we got in 2011.

8 Cuphead

My brother and I sit down and play this game for hours trying to beat all of the bosses.

I love this game. I have never had a game challenge me so much; but still have that enjoyment to the point that you want to beat them in different ways like using a different weapon or only use the standard shot for the hole game. A must play to be sure.

Well, this is more controversial than I expected. I AM surprised it managed to get to 11th, however; perhaps the complaints pushed it up. Still a very entertaining game, and I recommend it; not that famous, sure, but still VERY good.

Best game I ever played

9 Bendy and the Ink Machine

Yeah yeah yeah we get it you don't like the game...well I do while it's not the best and the fandom is getting out of control. The graphics are still really well done and I have no problem with the storyline. But the characters should have a bit more backstory and personality I'm hopeful that the new BATIM game is good

This game should definitely be a lot higher! At least in the top ten!

This game should be at least in the top 15! WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL!?

I love bendy and the ink machine dot you love it to

10 Injustice 2

Sorry nintendo fans. But this is my number one spot. I know many won't agree with me putting this at number 1. But I absolutely love this game! I think it's The best licensed game I ever played. Pretty much almost everything about this game is good. It has a great roster, A good story to it with likeable characters. Either way. One of my personal favorite games.

This is the best Superhero game ever after Batman Arkham Series...Because when there is no justice, that's what you call Injustice...Love DC...

One of the best games I have ever played

I loved how they hinted that Superman could possibly be redeemed, but Wonder Woman ruins it, manpulating his feelings. Hopefully Injustice 3 makes redemption for some of the Regime members possible.

The Contenders
11 Super Mario Odyssey

It looks like a cool game, I have played a bit off it on the nintendo switch demo. It was good but insanely overrated. To me it feels like Super Mario Galaxy 3 but without a Galaxy. Instead a mix of Super Mario Galaxy and 3D World. But either way it does seem like a good game.

The first time I played this game, it felt average to me.
But the second time I went through it, I LOVED the game. This is one of my favorite Mario games of all time, but I still like Galaxy more.

This game got my whole family into video games when it was originally just me! Now we all love playing games together. It really made my family closer, and I'll forever love it for that!

I didn't find it GREAT as what Nintendo fans say, instead I should say this was above average.
O Lord, My Lord, save me from the Nintendo fanbase.

12 Assassin's Creed Odyssey

I am playing this game right now, and I can't stop playing sometimes,
good job Ubisoft!

Best assassins creed in the series

13 Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy

My favorite game series! The great trilogy all in one disc. A lot of you know Crash Bandicoot: Warped is my all-time favorite game and that I really like the other 2 in the main trilogy. So this game just made the whole trilogy better! It Added New levels, Improved graphics and to play as Coco Bandicoot. What a great game. definitely a must play to gamer who want a challenging 3D platformer.

Just got the original Crash Bandicoot trilogy on my PS3. I love it! And if this is a remake of the original trilogy, it must N. Sanely good.

The lovable bandicoot is back with updated graphics, better gameplay, and I should say, it's N.Sane.

14 Far Cry 5

Deserves more recognition, but it isn't Excellent.

15 Forza Horizon 4
16 Assassin's Creed Origins

Improved and great gameplay, nice story, great stealth combat, and much more. I seriously recommend this to anyone who likes Assassin's Creed and also who want very nice gameplay.

Finally an Assassin's Creed game worth playing after the last two games that we're disappointing.

17 Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

How did I forget this awesome game?

Why is fartnite higher?!?!?!

Why is poopnite higher

OH YEAH!

18 Fallout 76

HAHAAHAHAAHAHAAHAH! This was a troll wasn't it!
No, seriously did someone like this game?

Should be way higher I agree it should be in the top tens

This game is screwed, don't waste your money.

This game has no issues.
Perfect!
10/10
IGN

19 Call of Duty: Black Ops 4

I got it for Black Friday. And to be honest it was...

Better than I expected.

Just a boring cash grab.

20 Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus

This one looks good. I'm planning to play it sometime soon.

Is it a remake, seems like.

I love this game

21 Horizon Zero Dawn

Are you crazy, this is super cool, and this one should have won the GOTY 2017 instead of BOTW. Oh God save me from the Nintendo fanbase.

22 Just Cause 4

Someone save me from the Tornado...

23 Hollow Knight
24 Destiny 2

This game sucks. One of the biggest disappointments in video game history.

Should be higher because of forsaken

25 Celeste

Literally such a good game the platforming is so great the constant addition of new mechanics each chapter keeping the level design from being bland. I can honestly say this game had my attention the whole time.

Can't believe this wasn't on the list. It's honestly one the best 2-D platformers I've played.
