Games I played a notable amount of in 2018

by arbitrarywater

The future is here! The future is now! This list is to help me keep track of whatever I decided to play this year. "Notable" means whatever I want it to, but you can assume that means "a couple of hours" at least.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Finally decided to sit down and play a bunch of zeldo. It's okay, I guess.

Clannad

Clannad

A visual novel where you date a bunch of moe anime girls and then sometimes it's sad. It's legitimately very good, but I do have to give it credit for all of the garbage visual novels Steam is now recommending me.

Samurai Shodown V Special

Samurai Shodown V Special

I played a bunch of this with a friend over Christmas Break. I think it's a very fun fighting game.

The Surge

The Surge

It's like Dark Souls, but with exoskeletons! It's pretty good, but I feel like the developers at Deck 13 are one or two games away from making something truly great instead of a merely decent imitation.

Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance

Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance

Not a terrible way to spend my time when I'm playing around with mah Nintendo Switch.

Sid Meier's Civilization VI

Sid Meier's Civilization VI

I futzed around with Civ VI for like 10 hours and then decided that I was probably good. It has some neat ideas, but it also has a lot of the same problems I had with Civ V.

Monster Hunter: World

Monster Hunter: World

Oh hey there crack, I've missed you. In all seriousness, I think this game is a fantastic progression on Monster Hunter, possibly the best the series has been. The lack of a proper G-Rank endgame means I probably won't stick with it as disgustingly long as 4 Ultimate, but it'll have my attention for a long time.

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy

As an idiot who actually still thinks that the original PS1 Crash games are legitimately decent platformers, I am all for prettier versions of them. But mostly Crash 2.

Bayonetta 2

Bayonetta 2

Replayed Bayonetta 2. Can confirm that Bayonetta 2 is still the besssst.
