This was another down year for me. I’m really looking forward to 2019.
-
Dead Cells
Satisfying gameplay with some structural concerns. -
Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition
I’m cheating here due to the lack of games I enjoyed this year. This might go higher but I haven’t finished it yet. -
Battletech
One of those games I enjoyed at the time that doesn’t feel memorable or exciting anymore. Hmm. -
Kingdom Come: Deliverance
I’ve only played this 4 hours and I guarantee it’s on this list. It may go higher if I find time to play it before voting ends. -
Return of the Obra Dinn
Edges out Celeste for being more consistently interesting and engaging. I think it’s going to be quite memorable too.
Honorable mention to Celeste: excellent first half, then it collapsed a bit from the story and later levels. Also for Monster Hunter: World and La-Mulana 2. I didn’t play them enough to know if they’d make it on the list. Both seem promising.
I was disappointed by Iconoclasts, Wizard of Legend, and The Messenger.
That’s pretty much all I played from 2018. Yikes.
