GOTY 2018

by jimi

Wish I played:

  • Donut County
  • Tetris Effect
  • Subnautica
  • Celeste - Really regret not playing this one before end of the year
  • Kenshi
  • Unavowed

Needs more time:

  • Rimworld - Feel like this is a biiiiig timesink
  • Pillars of Eternity 2 - Bought towards the end of the year

I spent a bunch of time playing:

  • League of Legends
  • Path of Exile
  • Warframe
  • Battlefield V

Good but not quite

  • Warhammer 40k Mechanus - Fantastic B-Game
  • Dead Cells - I didn't get as addicted as everyone else seemed to
  • Red Dead Redemption 2 - I think I might be over Rockstar's style of storytelling, there's no doubt this thing is a masterpiece but I burned out on it by the halfway point.
  • Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!/Eevee! - It's an amazing version of pokemon yellow

Showing 1-10 of 11 items

God of War

1. God of War

This is an AAA video game.

Into the Breach

2. Into the Breach

Intelligent small-scale strategy from the FTL guys... with mechs. If God of War wasn't so good this would be GOTY.

Two Point Hospital

3. Two Point Hospital

I absolutely loved Theme Hospital back in the day, this captured the look and feel perfectly.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege

4. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege

I got big into siege for a while this year, it allowed me to make up for bad aim with operator mechanics and positioning. A unique competitive experience.

BattleTech

5. BattleTech

MECHS.

Hitman 2

6. Hitman 2

Continues to be fantastic.

Marvel's Spider-Man

7. Marvel's Spider-Man

Best swing feel.

Total War: Warhammer II

8. Total War: Warhammer II

Almost makes me wish the End Times didn't happen.

Monster Hunter: World

9. Monster Hunter: World

Hit at a weird point in my year, it's the best Monster Hunter has ever been.

Frostpunk

10. Frostpunk

Excellent vibe and storytelling, got very easy towards the end but the feeling of intensity was worth experiencing.
