I might be an outlier, but the 2010s have been the best decade of gaming in my lifetime, easily. The NES and SNES's output can't match what's gone on in the indies and the advances in AAA gaming.
By that standard, where Mass Effect 2, LIMBO, Witcher 3, and the Dark Souls series are some of my favorite games ever made, 2018 has been an "off" year in that I've played great but not absolutely top-tier things. Celeste and God of War 4 have been the best I've played yet, and I'd put them well below last year's Hollow Knight, Breath of the Wild, and Original Sin 2.
But that off-ness barely matters, because Celeste and God of War 4 are both great. As it is, I'm still hungry for the free time necessary to get to Subnautica, Frostpunk, and State of Decay 2. Dead Cells can't leave Early Access soon enough. This might be a year with fewer all-time memorable titles, but it still has steadily produced things I've enjoyed.
