'God of War' rules over 2018 video games

The time has come once again to look at the best games of the year, and 2018 made it plenty difficult to pick a single game above the rest.

[UCForce]

Again, God Of War deserves it.

[solideagle]

like I said before: it took me out of modern gaming fatigue. a phenomenal game. Amazing! this is the only game I would pay for DLC which I have never done in my life. :)

[chrisx]

God of war gives me enough encouragement for next gen. PS will rule next gen with awesome exclusives once more.

[mikeslemonade]

Bloodborne is better than God of War 4 though. God of War 4 got kinda boring after the Poseidon level. While Bloodborne was good throughout.

"Bloodborne is better than God of War 4 though. God of War 4 got kinda boring after the Poseidon level."
That is God Of War III, a game from last generation...we are talking about God Of War (2018).

[UCForce]

@mikeslemonde Ok, you just being troll. That game you mentioned is God Of War 3. This is God Of War 2018 which is a soft reboot.

[badz149]

@mikeslemonade

err...that Poseidon level was GoW3, and GoW 2018 is not GoW4, because GoW4 would be the GoW Ascension. so much misinformation in your sentence

[mikeslemonade]

^^^^
Well that’s how boring it was, I meant after the Thor level it gets boring. Which is in the middle. Excuse me for mixing up a ice god with with a water god.

You gow fanboys get so worked up.

And don't get me started on God of War 3, which is actually an overrated game. GOW4 is deserving of it's score but it's not better than Bloodborne, God of War 3 is not even a top 20 game last generation.

[MrVux000]

You are either a very good troll, or a bad liar...either way you made my day with this comment lol

[mikeslemonade]

Lol I didn’t watch any of the Thor movies because I think superheroes are lame. I know he’s a Viking and his level is in the ice mountain. So stop being so anal.

[outsider1624]

As it should. What a game!

[gravedigger]

Looks like devs from MS studios also love GOW

[FunAndGun]

You deserve it Kratos. Can't wait for the next chapter in the story!

[DevilHunterDante]

RDR2 for me. Though ngl GoW was great too.

[KyRo]

I'm so glad GoW won it. RDR2 is a technical marvel but it's boring as hell.

[nucky64]

also, rdr2 controls are terrible compared to GoW4 controls

[ClayRules2012]

I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed RDR2.

[TheGamez100]

Loved rdr2 for how detailed it was, all the things you could do, huge map, and the story was great... but it was just too slow, controls bad, every gunfight is too easy and are all the same, and I swear about 30-40% of the game Ive spent using my phone leaving the game in autopilot. GOW is just the clear better game overall for me. It did great in all these areas and more.

[Ceaser9857361]

Both RED DEAD 2 and GOW and also Spiderman were my fav from 2018 but somewhere GOW did stand out... The studio cancelled an on going project, Cory came in and wanted to make a game of his own but Sony and SM wanted a GOW game.. Cory's vision wasn't accepted since the new GOW is totally different from its predecessor and didn't want to take risk. But Cory convincing them and it paid off and since the emotional thanking video from Cory..
The game looked great, story was great, combat was mindblowing... Hence its a true GOTY winner..

RED DEAD 2 is a masterpiece and a sequel and everyone was expecting RED DEAD 2 win ..

[Legatus]

God of GOTY

[pody]

Love it

[ClayRules2012]

Honestly, the best overall game I’ve played so far this generation. A real work of art.

[equal_youth]

But isn't GoW a Singleplayer Game? By Definition it can't be succesful, right?

[pietro1212]

I'm glad that so many developers and publishers proved EA wrong this year (this gen in general)

[PowerOfTheCloud]

Not only ea, but also Mr. Phil - Singleplayer games don't have the same impact no more - Spencer.

[Why o why]

Let's be fair. . . 'Less impactful' was the term used. I doubt Phil will use such terms if any of his team's start working on sp games.

[pietro1212]

ConsoleGamer
Spencer has a knack for contradicting himself often.

[badz149]

maybe when he talked about "less impact", he was talking about Knack.

[pietro1212]

It deserves it was a damn good game. Personal favorite was RDR2. but GoW was a close second.

[Killa78]

RDR2 was not a fun game, its was mindnumbingly boring at times.

I appreciate the artistic effort but the clunky controls and RPG elements ruined it, it does not deserve to be so 'critically acclaimed'

[JackBNimble]

Not everyone like the same games, what maybe boring to you can be fun for others.

[Elda]

Agreed.

[obidanshinobi]

A good game but it isn't that good, not Spiderman or RDR2 good, no way jose.

[pietro1212]

It's definitely better than Spider-Man, which was also a good game, but not as good as RDR2 and GoW.

[victorMaje]

So well deserved. Never in my years of gaming have I found myself with an unconsciously open jaw like when playing God of War.
The music was perfect!
The graphics were out of this world!
The story was beautiful!
The gameplay was incredible!
What a game.

[Smokehouse]

It wasn’t difficult for me. God of War was a tier above anything else.

[HeisenbergX]

It's such a great game with probably two of the best moments ever in gaming.. for me at least.

U guys know what i'm talking about.

[DwightSchrute01]

There was no games for God of war to compete with. It's easy to rule when you have no one to contend with. Lol
Next year when Nintendo drops their big exclusives it will be back to business as usual.

[MasterCornholio]

It competed with a game with a metacritic of 97 (RDR2) so there wasn't exactly no competition.

[UCForce]

Don’t get over your head yourself.

[Elda]

There isn't one Switch exclusive from the past,now & future that can come for God Of War far as production,story,graphics & gameplay!!

[DwightSchrute01]

LMAO ha ha ha 🤣🤣🤣
29315;😂
Your funny.

[MasterCornholio]

I haven't played RDR2 but i really enjoyed my time with GoW which is why i understand its GoTY for many people.

[NarutoFox]

Dead Cells was dope as well

[Elda]

So addicting!!

[ShockUltraslash]

Mediocre and overrated.

[akurtz]

Said no one.

[UCForce]

Like Zelda Breath of the Wild ? Would you be triggered by hearing that ? Would you called these people who disagree with you are delusional ? I know you want this game fail so badly that you will force dev to do your obedience.

[ShockUltraslash]

What does botw do that sets it apart?
Its got a boring open world that is empty with ubisoft style collectable korok seeds that add nothing to the system. And terrible weapon breaking that hampers the combat.

[Elda]

This comment is.

[russo121]

I strongly recommend him to stop seeing GOW articles, it's bad for his health.

[Dark_Knightmare2]

Oh look who it is the same person who has been in almost every gow goty win article talking trash. It must really be hurting you seeing gow winning all these goty awards

[Skankinruby]

Lmao you're literally doing the exact same thing in reverse with your laughable anti-RDR campaign you've been running

[Dark_Knightmare2]

@skankinruby I’m sorry what anti-rdr 2 campaign. Just because I don’t bend over and take everything rockstar gives me and act like it’s the greatest thing ever doesn’t mean I don’t like the game which is laughable to even suggest considering I have it in my top five of the year which I’ve said plenty of times. The only thing me stating the problems I have with rdr 2 show is that I’m not going to act like a blind fanboy and tell everyone it’s the greatest game and nothing is wrong with it because that would be lying

[magicted]

God of War was my GOY by a long shot nothing came close. It hooked me from start to finish and never let go with perfection. Can't wait for the sequel to it. Well deserved

[BoneMagnus]

Been putting off getting this - pulled the trigger with the GOTY awards - will fire it up tonight!

[LiViNgLeGaCY]

I 100% agree with this. Love this game so much.

[Germaximus]

Excellent game. Spider-Man is better.

[Babadook7]

Tetris effect was his 2nd pick? Ok. I think Beat Saber was better. Not to mention Astro Bot.

[BlaqMagiq1]

GoW deserved it over any other game with EASE. Spider-Man and Monster Hunter World were behind it too.

[mandingo]

your opinion

[mandingo]

Red Dead 2 and Hellblade (didn't get to play it till it came to xbox) were my favorite games this year. GoW great as well
