2018
I agonised about a favourite game of the year for me but this year I can’t pin it on any particular title. I find this remarkable, but then again last year was an absolute belter filled with Marios and Zeldas. This makes a follow-up very difficult.
Another thing that complicated things is that I started 2018 on January 1st by playing 2017’s GOTY NieR:Automata and that has kinda overshadowed everything else that was slotted into any disc drive for the remaining 11 months. It made me laugh. It made me cry. I played it just as I was experiencing a profound personal loss and it amplified things to an excruciating level.
So anyhoo, this year’s best game is Tetris Effect. I love it like a child loves MDMA.
And the rest in no particular order:
Smash
Dad of Boy
Celeste
Dark Souls
Forza Horizon 4
Gorogoa
Dead Cells
Yakuza 6 (I’ve not yet opened the thing, but I bought it because it came with whiskey glasses and reusable ice rocks yeah boi)
Pokemon Let’s Go
Ride 3
Tetris Effect
Puyo-Puyo Tetris
Tetris Ultimate
Tetris X Dr Mario
NES Tetris
Classic Tetris World Championships on YouTube

I forgot: Rez Infinte
And
Lumines
Neither of which are Tetris
But close enough

I'm a year late (it was released in mid-2017) but I picked up Micro Machines World Series for cheap in the PS store the other day and I'm really hoping it's half as fun as the MM game I had for NES. It's Codemasters so it should be decent.

What does the Bat say?
Spider-Man is my 2018 winner, but only because Xenoblade Chronicles came out in December of 2017. I spent hundreds of hours on XC2 in 2018
That being said, Spider-Man is an absolutely fantastic game. The story is rock solid, the cut scenes are straight out of movies, the gameplay is fluid and enjoyable, and the open world is beautifully rendered.

I pretty much only fucked around with three games this year: Assassin's Creed Origins, and Odyssey, and RDR2 (which I'm plodding along at a no-rush pace).
Speaking of RDR2:
Is it me or do the horses need more binding agent? They're shitting all the time.

I usually only play 1-2 games in the year that they were released.
This year's were Far Cry 5 (largely because the wife wanted it, so I pre-ordered it), and I started RDR2, which will probably take me months to get through.
