I know a lot of PotDers are old now and don't play games as much anymore (and SmUsh isn't out yet) but I'm interested in opinions.

Among the most hardcore communities it seems to be between the Spooderman, RDR2 and GoW. Though Fortnite will probably win the VGA if that's still a thing.

Dragon Quest XI or Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition
Best ongoing game is definitely Path of Exile

I will purchase Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Rockman 11 sometime by the end of the year.

I don't think I've actually played any games released this year.

I'm planning on getting God of War, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, Spider-Man, and Red Dead Redemption 2 eventually, but for most of them I'm holding off to see if they release any GotY Editions with all DLC included. And even where that's not an issue (like in Red Dead's case, where I assume all DLC is going to be free and only for multiplayer anyway, a la GTA), I almost always wait at least a full month minimum for patches to come out, because way too many games these days are borderline unplayable at launch due to all the bugs and critical glitches.

I might also get Vampyr or Call of Cthulhu at some point, but while both games seem like things I'd like in theory, both have been criticized for having a lot of technical problems or design flaws that would probably keep me from really enjoying them, so I might not get them after all.

I think the most recent game I've played is South Park: The Fractured but Whole, and that was released last October.

Red Dead Redemption 2, by a landslide.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider was a lot of fun, as was Octopath Traveler, even though I haven't finished Octopath Traveler, yet. I enjoyed Ni No Kuni II: Reveant Kingdom, but it was very repetitive. I loved Subnautica and technically it counts as a 2018 release, even though it was in early access for a good chunk of 2017.

I hate that Fortnite is probably gonna win awards, even though its diffrent now it still came out in 2017 it should stll count as a game from that year.

Although game awards are stupid anyway.

72 isn't old, and I play a lot of games on a lot of platforms. Nothing released this year that I'm interested in. I wrote up Monster Hunter Stories for Top 10 Games of 2017, I think that's my most recent release.

Maybe I'll pick up MH World if I get myself an X1 for Christmas, but the MH games have been progressively dumbed down since MHFU/MHP3rd.

God of War is the best game this year. Red Dead Redemption is a close second. If I had to choose a third one, Divinity 2: Original Sin wins the bronze.

I want to say Octopath Traveler, from the Youtube videos I saw of it (since I don't own a Switch). AC Odyssey takes a distant second by comparison, due to how cash shop heavy it is and how repetitive the mass amounts of content actually is.

This hasn't really been the best year for games, imo.

I think the only one I've played that came out this year has been MHGU. Conveniently, that's also entertained me enough that calling it my GotY is appropriate enough.

Think I'm the same at this point, although that's kinda par for the course for most years (excluding when a main game Pokemon comes out).

Not a single game released this year blew me away. If I had to give it to anything, Monster Hunter World. I'm looking forward to the sequel and seeing how many dents they take out of their first foray into that style of gameplay.

Edit: I should mention that I have both DQIX and Octopath Traveller, I just haven't played them yet.

Yakuza Kiwami 2 or Hollow Knight (does this count since it released on PC last year? I played it on Switch first). Smash Ultimate is also gonna be a strong contender.

Some other games I really liked: Spider-Man
Dragon Quest XI
Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition
Dead Cells
WarioWare Gold
Iconoclasts

God of War it blew me away with it's lore and acting. It's my game of the year and easy recommendation to anyone. the battle system could be improved but it's a minor complaint to everything.

I did play 330 hours of Monster hunter world. I was done with the game about around 65 hours in but they kept giving out events every month which made me go back to it. I don't like it....... as much as I love Monster Hunter Generation Ultimate.

Dragon Quest 11 give me a huge smile on my face when I play it. That's my RPG of the year. I would recommend that

I need to play more Celsete and I just bought Messager last night. Hallow Knight on the switch is awesome. I like playing it on the small screen more than my pc.

Tetris Effect goes to best puzzle game. That sound and classic tetris is so great. Everything feature in the ds game is in this game plus more.
