Y'all are not gonna cape for Gears 5. It'll probably be what I want from the game more than what Era wants.

Y'all made Shuhei Yoshida (President of Worldwide Studios, Sony Interactive Entertainment) happy
Weakest year in a good while, but thank you for everybody who made the list and ran the voting!
It's almost like the most popular games win the awards. Crazy.
Maybe next year MS will give us a game or two to vote for.
Congrats to the winner. Only expected 3 of my top 10 in the top 20, and ended up matching #4 and #5 lol. Too bad Celeste just missed the top 5.
Not as many voted this year.

BOY
God of War is my GOTG so no complaints there. A little surprised by Spidey topping RDR 2 but Insomniac made a great game so fair enough. Gotta try out RDR sometime.

Plenty of 2018 games on the backlog, need to elevate Detroit up the list...
Bout about the start the Spider-Man DLC

To be fair, over the years back on GAF the number of votes seemed to dip and rise every other year, so we'll see if it's a pattern this year
I was gonna vote, but I knew my GoTY would be number 1 anyway, and wanted to finish AC Odyssey and Yakuza Kiwami 2 (though I didn't know it wasn't eligible) first, so I actually a had 10 games I really liked.
Swap Hitman 2's position with Red Dead 2 and this list would pretty much match my own take. Glad to see Detroit got some love as well, as I enjoyed it far more than I expected to.
Great year for games.

Yeah probably. Maybe last year was also ResetERA being so fresh or Nintendo fans were in full force. :P
Yeah the remake category makes 0 sense. You could make a slight argument for Donkey Kong with the addition of Funky mode/Kong, but Hollow Knight was identical to the PC version and Bayonetta 1/2 were identical to prior versions other than additional Amiibo support.
Also Assassin Creed should not be under Switch games, it's only available streaming in Japan. If a game isn't a physical or digital download release, it shouldn't count. Otherwise, all PS Now games could technically fall under PC for releases ;p.
We're going to adjust the banner once the graphics guy comes back online. It's technically Remake/Remaster/Port as one category.
I don't understand why Ass Creed Odyssey is #4 in the Switch section... It hasn't been released there?!
Yakuza 0 was ported to PC in 2018 so it fits in that broken mess of a category.
But its true though, PS4 owned 2018 while Switch had a shit show
You're alive
I was too lazy to fill in a ballot on mobile with all the weird formatting requirements...
GotY 2017 had similar vote formatting requirements. Members just weren't as interested this year.
This is rather pleasant.
Seeing Astro Bot in the top 10 made me happy as well.
Sony certainly had a good year, and I'm happy to see God of War at #1 over something like RDR2, but Detroit being in the top 10 after the rousing laughter that erupted every time the story was talked about in that game, it's just a weird look.
Every time I watch a playthrough on Twitch or Youtube I hear a "One of the best games I've played here on my channel". So maybe, just maybe, a lot of people like Detroit: Become Human and you (and some others) don't. It is what it is.
PLG anywhere near a Top Anything list is baffling to me. Calling it a "perfect remake"... I'm speechless.
I wish I had more time to finish AC Syndicate so I could start God of War. It's next on my "to play" list.

So if anyone voted for Bayo 2 over DA:I the only possible reason is because they're Nintendo fanboys? Or if anyone voted for Bloodborne over TW3 the only explanation is because those voters were Sony fanboys?
That seems to be the logical conclusion of what you're saying.
Ever consider that mayyyybe the genuine tastes of the community are a little bit different than the tastes of the gaming press when it comes to a certain few examples? People voting based on loyalty to a platform and nothing else is the only possible explanation for you?
So happy to see Detroit in the top 10. It definitely deserves it.
There's been so many articles about how difficult black mirror bandersnatch was to make. If that was difficult, I don't even know how to describe Detroit.
It's a game with choices where they actually matter. Absolutely fantastic.

I actually really enjoyed the writing in that game for the most part. One particular character's story was weaker than the others but for the most part I found the game to be interesting especially with all the choices. It's how adventure games like that should be handled. I personally had it at 6 in my top 10. I think you just paid too much attention to some of the threads that were full of David Cage haters. There was a lot of love for that game.
This is an awesome list! I don't really disagree with any games except maybe Smash, but that's just because I haven't played it and I understand why it's up there. Happy that Astro Bot, DQXI and Detroit all made top 10. I thought that was unlikely to happen. 2018 was one of the best gaming years ever, 2019 has huge shoes to fill.
Actually number 3 is surprising here, considering the fact that we are getting a negative RDR2 thread each day lol.
Glad to see Hollow Knight with 512 points, it did ok. If it wasn't late console port would have been included in top 10..
