Top 10 Games for 2018

List of my favorite games played in 2018

Showing 1-10 of 10 items

Red Dead Redemption II

1. Red Dead Redemption II

(Xbox One X) What can I say about this game that hasn't already been said. The world in this game is so immersive. I spent so much time wandering the open world in between missions, just living the cowboy life. Arthur Morgan was such a great protagonist to play as. I'm still sitting here trying to decide if I want to 100% the game save I'm working on now or restart the story with the knowledge of how much more stuff I can experience throughout the story this time.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands

2. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands

(Xbox One X) I can summarize this game and my time with it in just a few words: "3 idiots running around Bolivia." Two other friends and myself have had such a great time just jumping into helicopters and flying to new locations only to have things go completely bad the moment we get there. This game is really not the best as the missions aren't really that different, but playing with friends makes this so much more enjoyable.

State of Decay 2

3. State of Decay 2

(Xbox Play Anywhere) I've really enjoyed this game and I really need to get back to it at some point. This is my 2nd purchase of an "Xbox Play Anywhere" game and it continues to be really smooth. I've played it entirely on my PC and it's been a great experience. It was a good follow up to the first one, and I'm curios to see what they do next.

PUBG: Battlegrounds

4. PUBG: Battlegrounds

(Xbox One X) While I technically played this towards the end of last year, 2018 is where this really picked up for me. Here's where my stats currently stand for this game: Time played: 21d 15h 10m Total matches played: 1,217 Total wins: 24 Total kills: 760 Total headhots: 120 Solo matches played: 81 Wins in solo: 3 (2 TPP and 1 FPP) Wins in squad: 15 Wins in duo: 6

Pokémon Go

5. Pokémon Go

(Mobile) After deleting this game off my phone for a good chunk of last year, I have apparently come back to this game. I'm still not sure if I like this game or not.

Assault Android Cactus

6. Assault Android Cactus

(Xbox One X) Another Games for Gold pickup that was quite fun to play thru. Really wish it had some online co-op to it, though. Would've been fun to play with friends.

Overcooked! 2

7. Overcooked! 2

(PC) I think I've maybe only played this game 1 or 2 different times, but I really enjoyed it. It's a great follow up to the first. The throwing mechanic really changes things (for me at least).

Battlefield V

8. Battlefield V

(Xbox One X) Here's another game where I'm not quite sure how I feel about it. I enjoy my time playing Battlefield games much more than COD. But it seems like things are somewhat going backwards with this series. The level of destruction seems to have decreased (Can you completely destroy/level houses in this game?), but this game still offers something that doesn't come from other FPS games I play. The opportunity to squad up with friends and swing the tide of battle.

Gears of War 3

9. Gears of War 3

(Xbox One Backwards Compatible) RUNNING WITH CHAINSAW GUNS OUT, PART 3!

Gears of War 2

10. Gears of War 2

(Xbox One Backwards Compatible) RUNNING WITH CHAINSAW GUNS OUT, PART 2!
