Red Dead Redemption II

1. Red Dead Redemption II

There are so many flaws with this game, the obtuse controls, the morally questionable quests, the online, but the sheer breadth of what is presented to you in red dead redemption 2 cannot be ignored.

Dragon Ball FighterZ

2. Dragon Ball FighterZ

I almost never like traditional 2D fighting games. The only other 2D fighting game I liked came out 10 years ago and that was fun... but this game... This game hooked me like no other fighting game, hooked so much that I might even like it more than the new smash. YEAH, IT'S THAT GOOD! I don't know what else to say other than play it, listen to all systems goku, love dragon ball, live happy.

Shadow of the Colossus

3. Shadow of the Colossus

This game is a goddamn masterpiece. The remaster is the best looking game that has come out to date. I love this game.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Marvel's Spider-Man

5. Marvel's Spider-Man

An amazing game with perhaps the most disturbingly accurate mocap cameo ever. Overall: great swinging and fighting, bad stealth, bad filler, love doc oc, looks gud.

Spyro Reignited Trilogy

6. Spyro Reignited Trilogy

It's Spyro, I love Spyro, and yeah it's pretty but it's still just Spyro.

Tetris Effect

7. Tetris Effect

Probably one of the best soundtracks of 2018 and it's hella stylish. Kinda got bored of it after a while though since I realize it was still just Tetris.

Soulcalibur VI

8. Soulcalibur VI

This has probably one of the best character creators of all time, rivaling fire pro even. That said the net code is pretty shit and well... the player base died within the first few days, so RIP.

Sea of Thieves

9. Sea of Thieves

Only played it one time with a friend and got blasted on cheap rum, overall a good time.

Battlefield V

10. Battlefield V

The demo was pretty good... not much more to say about it.
