    MMO-Champion's Top Games of 2018

    Figured I'd start this up.

    I took the top 20 games with the best Metacritic scores and added to a poll.

    No ports/updated rereleases/Definitive editions were put into the poll, and also the few games coming out within the remander of the year are omitted from the poll.

    If you have a favorite which I didn't put here, you can post it.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Also, the poll was originally listed by Metacritic score, but I fucked up by adding a port in there by accident.

    Well for me game of the year WAS god of war right up until Red dead redemption 2 came out.

    Nothing comes close to red dead 2 and it would win in pretty much any year. Its one of those games that raise the bar and show what games can be capable of.

    Pretty much, he put shit like Tetris Effect in the poll but not Dragon Quest XI, Divinity Original Sin 2 or Valkyria Chronicles 4. Kind of hard to take the poll serious.

    I believe this image explains your sentiment quite nicely;

    I did mention I made the list based on Metacritic scores. DQXI would have been the 22nd option after Destiny 2: Forsaken if I had more poll room.

    Divinity : original Sin was released on the PC September 2017.

    Pokemon is not up by the time I made the poll.

    Divinity Original Sin 2 was 2017

    Divinity came out last year. The console ports don't really matter.

    Also, Pokemon is currently at an 80 Metacritic score. 86 is the lowest Metacritic on the poll.

    Also, if you want to be technical, DQXI originally release last year in Japan. Doesn't matter as the game wasn't high enough to be on the list.

    What about early access-games? RimWorld had it's 1.0 release a few weeks ago.

    Also expansions?

    Zelda winning 2017 game of the year shows its pretty bullshit though. And it be taken about as seriously as the oscars.

    Always political or industry based rather than merit based.

    Rimworld doesn't have a Metacritic at the moment. Just one shy of getting one.

    Destiny 2: Forsaken might have been a better option for polling than Football Manager. I was just kinda going down the list.

    Can't change it now.

    Yeah the game getting given away for free that needed multiple season passes to become semi bearable is def a game of the year contender

    Because Japanese release dates matter so much to western GOTY lists, that's why Persona 5 was on everyone's list in 2016 and not 2017 right?

    Persona 5 also came out in 2016 in Japan yet was on every credible award list in the west for 2017, that's not how it works.

    As far as "it didn't score high enough" well maybe that's a problem with you using metacritic and it's weighted scoring system over something like opencritic that does not give say IGN priority over every smaller reviewer just because of their name. DQXI is an 88 on opencritic.

    Regardless going off scores is stupid, of all the smaller and indy games you have listed there the only ones worthy of being on the list are Celeste and Obra Dinn. You literally have tetris as a GOTY nominee in 2018... LMFAO
