The Critical Hit gang could wax lyrical about their favourite games of 2018 for years to come, and we certainly will do so with our annual awards that are clearly more important that Geoff Keighley’s upcoming big budget show. Y’know, if you don’t mind an awards show that has the budget of used chewing gum, guest cancellations a’plenty and is being held in the stately location of my kitchen. Top that, Keighley. Today isn’t about our opinions however. We want to hear what you consider to be the best of the best.

2B or not 2B? That is the question. A question which you’ll get to answer in the near future, as it looks like the entirity of Nier: Automata and all of its assorted DLC is getting bundled up into the standard game of the year package.

We want to hear from you: What was the best game of 2017? Was it Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus? Persona 5’s anime anarchy? EA’s loot box con?

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild won big at The Game Awards, grabbing Best Design, Best Action/ Adventure and the all encompassing Game of the Year.

As we head towards the end of 2017, we begin to head in to “Game of the Year Award Season.” The first to kick off is arguably the most “official” of the lot, The Game Awards. Should an early access game like PUBG be on the list?

It shouldn’t rightfully have made it to the top of anybody’s Game of the Year lists, but wasteland wondering simulator Fallout 4 is getting a Game of the Year Edition.

If you had to have just one exemplary title that could prove to the world just how far the industry has come, the choice would be obvious.

We’re in an age now where games don’t just look more realistic than ever before, but also boast visuals where every frame is a painting.
