2018 has been a phenomenal year for gaming with some spectacular releases.
For me 2017 was a little lukewarm with titles of only specific genres being released, that doesn't happen here. 2018 had something for every gamer and before you guys make your holiday purchases, here's our list of Top 10 games to help you decide what to buy.
Keep in mind that these games are not in serial order because all of them are good in their own way and offers a quality experience in their own way.
Without blabbering anymore, let's just get right into it.
#10. Assassin's Creed Odyssey.
Ubisoft's next grand adventure in the Assasin's Creed explore the vast and beautiful open world of Ancient Greece. Featuring two protagonists to choose from, branching dialogues, an immersive family drama, and the most flexible combat style ever seen in any Assassin's Creed game, Odyssey is a complete package.
It offers multiple side quests and adventures that will keep you engaged for 100+ hours.
It is available on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
The game has a Metacritic score of 87/100.
#9.Far Cry 5.
Ubisoft likes to play safe with the Far Cry series with subtle changes here and there in every entry and let me you tell the latest entry doesn't disappoint.
Far Cry 5's open world takes you adventuring in Hope County, a fictional American town based on real-life Montana. It feels vastly similar in mechanics when compared to its predecessors but Hope County has its own charm.
Its open world and mission structure feel very organic and realistic, unlike the traditional Ubisoft games. It offers some fun whacky side missions and a lot of exploring.
Of course, it wouldn't be a Far Cry game with a crazy Narcissist of villain after your head and Far Cry 5's Joesph Seed ain't fooling around.
The game is available on the PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
It has a Metacritic score of 82/100.
#8. Detroit Become Human.
Quantic Dream's next game in its interactive drama genre Detroit Become Human is a beautiful experience.
When you're not distracted by its picturesque visuals, you will be engrossed into its complex storyline with multiple consequences and you will be propelled to finish the game more than once to see its various crazy endings.
Add to that some amazing performance by Bryan Dechart and Valorie Curry and you get 2018's most unique gaming experience.
It is available exclusively on the PS4.
The game has a Metacritic score of 78/100.
#7. Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom.
If you ever wanted to get into JRPGS but couldn't because of its complex battle system type combat, well good news. Ni no Kuni 2 is the game you need.
It features fun flashy real-time combat which is fast-paced and features a magical world of Ding Dong Dell, which is nothing sort of a fairy tale. At least that's what I felt in the 50 hours I spent in the game.
Lovable characters, beautiful vistas, mesmerizing score, Ni no Kuni II has it all.
Its available on PC and PS4.
The game has a Metacritic score of 84/100.
#6. A way out.
A way out left us all shocked with its unique take in the action-adventure genre.
Developed by Hazelight studios and published by EA, A way out is an always co-op game offline in which you and your buddy go on an incredible adventure.
The game may be an indie game but it proves how independent studios given the time and resources can build something really incredible, like Hell Blade did last year, A way out is an adventure which shouldn't be missed out by anyone.
This is actually the only good thing EA has done this year.
The game is available on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
It has a Metacritic score of 78/100.
#5. Monster Hunter World.
Monster Hunter games have always been appreciated by Japanese gamers playing on the Nintendo devices, but Monster Hunter World takes that positive response to a wider audience and hence we have Monster Hunter World.
An action RPG developed for the current generation of consoles and PC, Monster Hunter World has the heart of the previous Monster Hunter games but goes to an extent to welcome new players and at the same time not losing its charm.
Its a great example of how a game as a service model should work with the game receiving regular updates including new events, quests and weapons etc.
Monster Hunter World is available on the PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
It has a Metacritic score of 90/100.
#4. Marvel's Spiderman.
Marvel's Spiderman game is the Spiderman game we have all wanted since a very very long time, specifically since Spiderman 2 which released back in 2004.
As much as it focuses on Spiderman and his actions to save Newyork city from criminals, it also gives an equal amount of attention to Peter Parker's personal life story which has been delivered masterfully.
Its open world might be filled with a lot of filler contents outside the main missions, but Insomniac Game's take on the Spiderman is no doubt a blast to play and its portray of visually stunning Newyork is mesmerizing to say the very least.
The game is exclusively available on the PS4.
It has a Metacritic score of 87/100.
#3. Forza Horizon 4.
Forza Horizon is a pinnacle in the open world racing genre.
Racing games are pretty much dead with EA literally burying the NFS series with the recent NFS payback.
All we got is Forza series which keeps on getting better with every other entry in the series.
Forza Horizon is everything a good racing game should be, a jaw-droppingly beautiful open world, a cool collection of vehicles, amazing soundtrack and even multiplayer.
Forza Horizon 4 is available on PC and Xbox One.
It has a Metacritic score of 92/100.
#2. Red Dead Redemption 2.
RDR 1 is one of the best open world game of all time, the only thing that comes close to its surpassing and one way actually does is this game - RDR 2.
It took Rockstar games 8 years to make this game and the wait has definitely been worth it.
It tells the story of a group of outlaws at a time when the Wild West is almost dead.
It's huge and detailed world is almost too surreal to believe and trust me it takes a while to get used to.
It is probably the most realistic open world game ever made where you have to keep tab of even the slightest of things-which includes washing your clothes, growing your beard to stylise it or even brewing coffee at the camp to drink.
Add that to Rockstar game's finest storytelling to date with relatable characters and top-notch gameplay and you get the game of the generation.
The game is currently available on the PS4 and Xbox One.
It has a Metacritic score of 97/100.
#1. God Of War.
God of War is a tribute to every other single player game out there.
It is so bold in its vision, so firm in it's gameplay, so picturesque in its visuals and so strong in its storytelling and characters that there's no beating this game.
In other words, God Of War has finally matured and I, I can't wait for the game's next entry.
From its Levithian Axe slaying every entity in the game, to every little story told by Memir-The smartest man alive, to every silly yet fun Dad-son conversation between Kratos and Atreus, and to that subtle orchestral - Norse inspired soundtrack which even now I can't get out of my head.
God Of War is a living proof of how a modern single-player video game should be.
The game is exclusively available on the PS4.
It has a Metacritic score of 94/100.
