PigzFly's GOTY 2018

by pigzfly

2018 has been a wild year. 2017's D&D obsession became a full blown addiction which meant that video games were few and far between. Aside from the top 4 on this list, I don't think I played more than a handful of hours of them. There was a weird month in there where I played a TON of Diablo 3 on PS4.

Red Dead Redemption II

1. Red Dead Redemption II

A stunning game that came at the right time. I embraced the slow pace and leaned into the western vibe. Arthur is a great character with a melancholic story.

Monster Hunter: World

2. Monster Hunter: World

This is the first Monster Hunter I've really sunk my teeth into since Freedom Unite 2. I love it.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

3. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Always a sucker for for Smash. As of yesterday, I just finished unlocking all the characters so my time with the game will probably drop off but who knows. Also, I might have found a new favourite character in Robin.

Marvel's Spider-Man

4. Marvel's Spider-Man

Gorgeous game with very satisfying combat and of course, the web slinging.

Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom

5. Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom

Here's where my game time takes a dive and I'm super bummed about that because Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is one of my favourite games of all time. I hope to play more of this game at some point in the future because its incredibly charming and nothing I love more than colourful games.

Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire

6. Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire

To be fair, I bought this because of Critical Role's involvement in the voice acting. I haven't played much of it at all but I could easily see myself losing hundreds of hours to this game (if I had hundreds of hours to spare)

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age

7. Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age

Another colourful game that fits my aesthetic. I NEED to get back to this game in the future because from what I've read and seen in screenshots it gets really fun.

Hitman 2

8. Hitman 2

Barely touched this game but it feels a lot like the first game with some nice little improvements.

Dragon Ball FighterZ

9. Dragon Ball FighterZ

I'm shit at fighting games, but this one looks incredible.

Pocket City

10. Pocket City

For a brief period of time I was consumed by this game. It's everything I wanted from a mobile city builder. Single purchase price and no garbage microtransactions to string you along to the next level/upgrade.
