Top 5 Games of 2018 (Game of the Decade Countdown)

By: Ryan Ramakrishnan

2018 is hands-down my favorite year of the decade in gaming, even topping 2013 which was full of personal favorites in gaming. 2018 was full of titles that really stuck with me. Some of the games released that year are instant contenders across the board for game of the decade, a few even making it onto lists covering the best of all time. So it was difficult to include just five games here, given the fact that I made a top 10 list of 2018 games at the end of the respective year on YouTube. Even harder was ranking the five here.

It is no secret that Sony had an incredible year in 2018 regarding its first party offerings. Sony Santa Monica changed the industry with its April release of “God of War.” Not a full five months later, Insomniac Games came out swinging with a revolutionary experience for comic book fans in the form of “Marvel’s Spider-Man.” Amidst all of the praise I too gave these juggernauts, I nearly forgot the mere existence of the other triple A exclusive the PlayStation 4 earned in between the two. And just over a month into the new year, I can confidently say, sleeping on “Detroit: Become Human” was my biggest mistake of 2018.

As a result, they walked away with not only fantastic titles but more than a few Game of the Year awards to bring with them into the new year.
