Games I've started (and maybe finished) in 2018

Here's everything that I've been playing this year. I'm keeping a running tally of my thoughts on each game and will be giving them a score out of 10.

Showing 1-10 of 21 items

Pyre

1. Pyre

Started this game in 2017, but finally got around to finishing it in January. I'm not even sure why I fell off of it the first time around, because I immediately got sucked back into the story as soon as I picked it back up. The gameplay is really fun, and I wish I knew more friends who played this game so we could do competitive multiplayer. (9/10)

Rocket League

2. Rocket League

Still pick up this old friend from time to time.

Fortnite

3. Fortnite

Like everyone else, I've played Fortnite this year. I'm not even going to score this because the Battle Royale mode has completely out-paced me. The meta has changed so much I haven't bothered jumping back in yet, but when I was playing earlier this year, it was the most fun I've had in a while playing a game with friends.

Monster Hunter: World

4. Monster Hunter: World

(8/10) While I eventually grew tired of the grind in this game, I easily spent a month playing this game when it first came out. I had never played a Monster Hunter game before, but I found this easy to get into and understand, which seems like a first for this series. It made me want to dive back into others in the series, though I haven't actually done that yet.

Undertale

5. Undertale

Tried this but couldn't get into it.

West of Loathing

6. West of Loathing

Finally downloaded this game on my Mac. I had heard good thing but now I regret not playing it sooner. Knocked it out in about five or six hours and laughed almost the entire time. One of the few video games that actually does humor well. (8/10)

God of War

7. God of War

The best game I've played in years. I was obsessed with the story and found the combat to be incredibly fluid. Unlike others, I didn't find it repetitive. (10/10)

Crypt of the NecroDancer

8. Crypt of the NecroDancer

Damn this game is hard, but I love the soundtrack. (8/10)

Mario Tennis Aces

9. Mario Tennis Aces

The online multiplayer is tons of fun, but the story mode was too short and too easy. I wish there was more single-player content. (7/10)

Onrush

10. Onrush

I heard Jason and Jeff talk about this on the Bombcast, so I decided to pick it up. I had a fun few hours with it, but not enough depth to justify the $60 price tag. (6/10)
