Translation: Eva Francis

Raiding carriages in the wild West, experiencing a divine drama between father and son or capturing cute small monsters? 2018 was jam-packed with exceptional games. But which was the best one? We’re letting you decide.

The year 2018 is almost over and most game manufacturers have released the aces they had up their sleeves. About time to nominate the game of the year. The following list contains the most important PC and console game titles. I included titles which were released in 2018, judging by the release date in our latitudes, and excluded any early access releases, remastered releases, re-releases or post-releases on other platforms. If you spot a title I’ve forgotten to include or if you have good reasons to include «Fortnite», «Dota 2» and the such, let me know by commenting below this article.

Feel free to vote for several games if you like.

As a child, I wasn't allowed to have any consoles. It was only with the arrival of the family's 486 PC that the magical world of gaming opened up to me. Today, I'm overcompensating accordingly. Only a lack of time and money prevents me from trying out every game there is and decorating my shelf with rare retro consoles.
