CP Game of the Year 2018
Someone suggested it in the gaming thread, since I made the last two, here it is! Let's figure out CP's game of the year.
Past years we've done two threads, one for nominees and one for voting, but the voting always kind of peters out quicker than the initial thread. So we'll keep it simple and all in this thread:
List your top five games (in order) of 2018!
That's it! Your number one entry will get 5 points, number two gets 4 points, and so on. Can't think of five? That's fine! Even if you only played one game in 2018, if you really loved it, throw five points its way. The game with the most points by the end of December is our game of the year. I'll update every few days so people can keep track.
Rules are simple:
1. It must be a 2018 calendar release. Even though Fortnite blew up this year and you might've played it more than anything, it was a 2017 release.
2. Remakes are allowed, remasters and re-releases are not. So, Spyro Reignited Trilogy is fair game, Bayonetta 2 on Switch is not.
That's all! Very competitive year this time, be interesting to see what we decide on! I'll post my own in a little bit, as to not clutter things up.
As a reminder, here were our previous decisions:
2017: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
2016: Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
Current Result
Red Dead Redemption 2 (79)
Marvel’s Spider-Man (61)
God of War (58)

1. Smash Bros
2. Super Mario Party
3. Donkey Kong (Disqualified, previously released)
Other than building up the switch collection I haven't played anything that came out this year. I've barely played Smash but am confident it's better than the other two. I really wish RDR2 was on PC.
Rocket League is still 80% of my gaming. Hearthstone is creeping it's way back into my life.

I've only played three 2018 games this year. Hopefully this doesn't disqualify me.
1) Spider-man PS4
2) Red Dead Redemption 2
3) Super Smash Bros Ultimate

Just for reference for others here's a list of some of the top games of the year that I recall seeing on other publications lists that would qualify as 2018 games.
Red Dead Redemption 2
God of War
Spider-Man
Super Smash Bros Ultimate
Monster Hunter: World
Assassin's Creed Odyssey
Astro Bot: Rescue Mission
Tetris Effect
Hollow Knight
Dead Cells
Celeste
Here is my personal list:
1) Spider-Man
2) Super Smash Bros Ultimate
3) God of War
4) Pokemon Let's Go
5) RDR2
Tough to leave RDR2 out of the top 3 but I just haven't been able to get real deep into it yet. Amazing piece of work but I just didn't think it was that fun. Could be Spider-Man, Pokemon, & Smash coming out around the same time too since those game just have a different vibe that is more up my alley.
Pokemon Let's Go was real close to cracking the top 3 for me as well, maybe not an amazing game, but the nostalgia back to Red/Blue/Yellow made it a lot of fun.
I haven't tried Astro Bot or Tetris Effect for PS VR yet but sounds like I could see those squeeze into the top 5 once I get them and give them a shot.

Huh, I played a lot fewer games than normal this year, so my list is kinda skewed.. there's a bunch of games I'm sure would be on my list but I simply haven't played them.
Anyway:
1. Celeste
2. Assassin's Creed Odyssey
3. Far Cry 5
4. Dead Cells
5. Ni No Kuni 2

I assume you're referring to Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze? It's a re-release, so it doesn't count.

1. RDR2
2. God of War
I can't really think of a #3 as I haven't played games like Spider-Man, Far Cry 5, and Assassin's Creed: Odyssey yet. There's been games I've had alot of fun with this year like State of Decay 2 and Jurassic World: Evolution but I don't consider them Game of the Year material.

The only 2018 release I've played is Shadow of The Tomb Raider...
It wasn't until Rhettzky's post until I realized what people were talking about. I couldn't figure out how I hadn't heard of this R2D2 game...
