Man, I really didn't play all that much this year (I didn't play God of War because Kratos is an insufferable shithead and I haven't played Hitman 2 because I just haven't gotten to it yet. Shame on me.) but I think I can scrap together 10 different games... maybe (even though some of them were on my list last year too).

With the Forsaken expansion in September this year, Bungie REALLY corrected the few issued I had with Vanilla Destiny 2 to make a game that's every bit as good as Destiny 1 at it's best.
Spider-Man kind of surprised me this year. I figured it'd end up being pretty good just based on who was making it, but I didn't expect to care for the characters and story as much as I did.
Forza Horizon 4 continues the grand tradition of Forza Horizon games being REALLY REALLY good. The addition of the seasons system ends up being more engaging than I expected.
Black Ops IIII has maybe my favorite Battle Royale mode of the year. It's fast paced but you can still hold your own, even when seemingly outnumbered.
While I DEFINITELY didn't play nearly as much PUBG as I did last year, I still racked up almost 200 hours in it thanks to a steady stream of new maps and guns from the developers. This is still the superior Battle Royale experience, in my opinion.
While I have some SERIOUS problems with the overall feel and responsiveness of the gameplay itself, there's no denying that Rockstar knows how to build a world and fill it with enjoyable and relatable characters.
Dead Cells FINALLY came out this year and has a shit ton of polish to show. It's got such a satisfying and engaging Roguelike loop that remains challenging every single run.
Sea of Thieves isn't a great game by any stretch but Rare has struck some pretty interesting ideas here that are really compelling and fun. I can't wait to see what they do moving forward.
This game died too early on account of CliffyB being a dumb idiot.
I know this didn't come out this year but I played it a lot and the Giant Bomb server has a dubstep remix of the X-Files theme so really it earned it's spot.
