My Top Ten Games of 2018
Here we are, again! I'll be honest with you, 2018... was the absolute worst year for me. I unexpectedly lost my brother this year and also had a host of other less bad things happen to me and my family. Yeah.
Unsurprisingly, I dug in deep with my favorite hobby to avoid thinking about all of these horrible things and I ended up beating a large amount of games - some new and some old. I definitely made a big dent in my backlog, which was admittedly nice! I've actually become a big fan of Insomniac Games after beating the Ratchet and Clank remake along with their Spider-Man game AND the Ratchet and Clank Future trilogy (oh and Spyro Reignited, wow!). What a fun developer.
First, honorable mentions for the games that didn't make the cut and my favorite "non-2018" games that I beat this year (again, there were a lot! Wahoo).
Honorable Mentions:
Far Cry 5 - Terrible story and execution of said story really dragged this one off the list for me. Fun co-op though - "OH.. NOOOOOOOO! AAAAHHHH-" Stuff like that.
Two Point Hospital - A fun, new rendition of Theme Hospital. 3 starred a couple hospitals, but then I fell off of it. This one didn't quite have the legs that I was hoping it would have.
Dark Souls Remastered - A great game, but this is a lackluster "remaster". Oh well, still Dark Souls! Still cool!
Favorite Non-2018 games: The Evil Within 2
Ratchet and Clank (2016)
Ratchet and Clank Future Trilogy (A Crack in Time was especially awesome - really well done on all fronts.)
Uncharted 4/Lost Legacy
Uncharted 3 (best of the PS3 ones!)
God of War 2 (best of the PS2 ones!)
And here are the actual 2018 games that I really loved this year, along with my personal thoughts on them. Enjoy??
