GOTY 2018

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

List items

• 

  1. God of War

  This is an AAA video game.

• 

  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.

• 

  3. Two Point Hospital

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

• 

  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.

• 

  5. BattleTech

  MECHS.

• 

  6. Hitman 2

  Continues to be fantastic.

• 

  7. Marvel's Spider-Man

  Best swing feel.

• 

  8. Total War: Warhammer II

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

• 

  9. Monster Hunter: World

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

• 

  10. Frostpunk

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

• 

  11. Assassin's Creed Odyssey

  I couldn't bear to cut this one, so I didn't. Fuck the police it's a top 11. My favorite Assassin's Creed since 2, Kassandra ruled and the systems were a bunch of fun.
