This year has a lot of potential to be amazing with these titles. It will be interesting to see how the forum reacts to some of these games, and if the end results will match the hype. Thanks for putting the poll together!

If I just stick to major releases, I still think I can put a dent in my backlog through the year overall. The problem is during those PSN sales....

Phst, most anticipated? I am back to playing PS3. Currently going through Demon's Souls (very slowly) one last time.

Regardless, awesome work [U]Muzy[/U].

After today's tweet it looks like the potential of a new chibi-robo game on switch is pretty high on this list of anticipated games.

Edit: I have not played any of the prior ones but would be down if it was a sandbox.

Damn, we really should've waited for the direct.

lol
Did it happen yet or what? I saw a glimpse of people talking about nothing in the topic a few days ago once the logo changed

Yep, think it's fair to say nothing that they showed is knocking anything off the Top 10 at least

The anticipated list in the OP is now canon.

This list is so boring without Nintendo games, guys. Mario Tennis Aces, top 10 most anticipated easy.

Will yeah, the direct didn't change anything. I didn't expect such a dry direct.

Very surprised DBZF isn't even in the top 10. I thought it would've easily been top 3

So far, the results for these anticipated games have been satisfying when it comes to critical reception:

4. Monster Hunter World - MC: 90
7. Shadow of the Colossus - MC: 92
9. Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom - MC: 85
10. Yakuza 6: The Song of Life - MC: 83
11. Dragon Ball FighterZ - MC: 87

God of War seems like it'll do great too, but it hasn't been listed here since reviews aren't there yet.

I can see Detroit being a The Order 1886 situation where this community hyped it and then it gets middling at best reviews.

Updated list of critical reception based on MC Scores:

2. God of War - 94 (105 Critics)
4. Monster Hunter World - 90 (91 Critics)
7. Shadow of the Colossus - 91 (100 Critics)
9. Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom - 85 (79 Critics)
10. Yakuza 6: The Song of Life - 83 (85 Critics)
11. Dragon Ball FighterZ - 87 (74 Critics)

Lastly, we have one game that's not qualified for the list:

15. Days Gone - moved to 2019

Overall a pretty satisfying year so far, even though Ni No Kuni 2 have had quite a lot of mixed impressions here, which is relevant because this thread is about Era's most anticipated games. Only one game has been delayed.

God of War was one of the top anticipated games and it's really nice to see the results here - it did extremely well!

Now it's Detroit: Become Human's turn.

It's great that so far most of the games that ERA look forward to turned out good.

I'm still completely baffled by that ni no kuni metacritic. Was the press given a different version of the game than everyone else?

With Kingdom Hearts III being delayed until 2019, we now have our first delay casualty from this year's Most Anticipated Top 10 list.
Don't believe we'll have any others but it's certainly feasible that RDR2 will meet a similar fate.
