we are down to the last two episodes of
top 10 as we know it on ScrewAttack
before it becomes top 10 as you know it
on the know because the show's not
changing I'm still gonna be there and I
know you're gonna be there too to watch
all new episodes of top 10 on the know
I'll see you there as 2018 winds down
this is the perfect time to look back at
the year in gaming there are so many
great games that came out this year but
only the 10 best are gonna make this
list
look out Jeff Keely I'm nervous Nick
four screw tags top ten games of 2018
number 10
given my long and extensive history of
breaking everything I touch I will
probably never allow myself to drive an
exotic car or at the very least I will
never drive on while drifting it like a
hundred miles an hour but that's where
games like Forza horizon four come in
and give us the next best thing for the
car aficionados you got 420 licensed
vehicles to customize to your heart's
content for people like me who couldn't
care less we've got the freedom to drive
around a virtual recreation of the
United Kingdom and smash through walls
with a $40,000 battering ram on wheels
and in keeping with Series tradition
Fortson horizon 4 is astonishingly
beautiful especially in motion it makes
it that much easier to get lost in the
world as you cruise the countryside or
tear through it like a met number 9 I
think it's pretty fair to say that VR
wasn't as big in 2018 as it was in years
past but one game for your headset made
it onto this list anyway beat saver is
one part Star Wars one part rhythm game
zero parts that one actual Star Wars
rhythm game for Kinect thank God
swinging your virtual lightsabers and
rhythm with your favorite songs is
actually really satisfying once you get
the hang of it and since you can add
custom songs beat Sabre is one of those
games that has near infinite replay
value sweet I only wish that I
personally had the stomach to handle VR
games like this because the last time I
tried I vomited they
guts out numbered 8 the first thing I
learned was the name donut counting okay
that doesn't really tell me much what's
the with the Prince and donut County is
a physics adventure game will you
control a hole in the ground stop stop
right there I've heard enough already
that is automatic Game of the Year
material but for real donut County is
kind of like opposite Katamari the more
stuff you put in your hole the bigger
your hole gets absorb the right objects
and you can make a hot air balloon lift
up or spin a chicken around or get a
rabid orgy going in your hole it's
surprisingly hard to talk about donut
County without every other sentence
sounding incredibly sexual number seven
the long-running Monster Hunter series
has always been amazing but one problem
has plagued pretty much every entry the
learning curve is so steep that for
newcomers it feels like a straight-up
wall but Monster Hunter World was the
game that finally bloked that barrier
down and it's about time - a game that
boils down to awesome boss fight after
awesome boss fight deserves all the love
it can get monster underworld takes full
advantage of the power of modern
consoles to make the realm of monster
hunting the most open and gorgeous it's
ever been the thrill of the hunt is
exhilarating and when you finally down
that beast it will hardly find a more
satisfying feeling in gaming and it only
gets better when you play with friends
Monster Hunter world was so successful
at bringing more people into the hunt
better became Capcom's fastest selling
game of all time if ever a Capcom game
deserves that honor its Monster Hunter
world number 6 when it comes to 3d
fighting games Bandai Namco's got a
pretty firm grip on the market
thankfully 2018 s return of Soul Calibur
was a tale of souls and swords retold
once again this was the reinvention the
series needed in this new age of
Fighters Soul Calibur 6 brings back the
main cast as he knew them back in the
days of the first entries but niches
some modern fighting game flavoring just
to spice things up critical edges the
high damage super moves are more
beautiful than ever but one of the best
new mechanics is the reversal edge okay
I may be garbage at this game but
slowing down the action makes all those
close call moments all the more
nail-biting but once again the best
feature in Soul Calibur 6 is the
character creator for letting you make
horrifying versions of anyone you can
imagine and that especially goes out to
whoever made this version of Kirby
thanks a lot mystery person I have not
slept in weeks
number 5 even in a year when triple-a
developers brought their a-game indie
devs still killed it by the top runaway
hit of the year was probably Celeste
indie developers making ultra
challenging platformers is nothing new
there's a long history there but Celeste
is something truly special a game with
this much wall jumping air dashing and
precision platforming was always gonna
cause some degree of anxiety but
surprisingly that's actually what this
game is about no really so let's story
actually deals with panic attacks in a
genuinely thoughtful way and with 90
levels a fantastic soundtrack and a ton
of replayability Celeste represents some
of the very best net indie games have to
offer number 4 no game was on my radar
this year more than Super Smash Brothers
ultimate a brand new single-player
adventure a hundred three stages at
launch more ways to customize the way
you play characters we've been for three
years are here characters we never asked
we're here in fact every single
character is back including my frog oh
let's do soccer right bless you now I'm
gonna be honest with you guys I was this
close to bumping ultimate down on the
list because the online was so
frustrating at launch but thankfully a
weak one update made it much easier to
find rulesets you actually want to play
with even with that fix ultimate still
isn't
white perfect for example I'm still not
so sure I'm crazy about this strange new
buffer system but even then it's so
obvious that ultimate tries hard to live
up to its ambitious name and the more I
play it the more I have to agree
Sakurai's latest game is a smashing
success besides I'm already resigned to
the fact that I'm gonna be hooked on
this game for the next half decade
number three it's been a long time since
Rockstar lettuce roamed the Old West
like way too long but the wait for Red
Dead Redemption 2 was absolutely worth
it so long as you can get past them
occasionally annoying controls you're in
for one of the best cowboy tales in
years I'm not gonna spoil anything
but if you were a fan of the last games
more cinematic moments you're gonna love
this equal to Plus Rockstar took all
they learned from GTA online till it you
form posses with your banded friends in
Red Dead online well it took some of the
things they learned from GTA online I've
honestly got no explanation for some of
those economy decisions they made but
what I do know is that you can hog-tie
people and leave them to die on the
railroad tracks that is the only feature
I needed numbered to back in 2004 I'd
legitimately spent a full years swinging
around New York in the spider-man 2
movie game it was seriously that much
fun to me for years that experience went
totally unmatched until insomniac games
knocked it out of the park this year the
ps4 exclusive spider-man featured a cool
story an open-world and lots of
unlockables but the real star here is
just traversal just moving around the
city is so fun that it kept me playing
long after I had 100% completed the main
game something that completely pushed
spider-man over the top was the absurd
amounts of polish in this game New York
is Leonard with Marvel Easter eggs
Spidey's got unique animations for just
about everything
and the writing really makes you feel
for some of these characters it's the
kind of runaway success that you know is
gonna bring us a sequel and when it does
I'll be ready to put it on that games of
the year list - it's number one on the
surface a father-son journey sounds like
a major departure for God of War and in
the best of ways it is seeing Kratos go
from your typical angry dude permanently
bathed in the ashes of his family does
someone actually capable of compassion
again was the God of War game we didn't
know he needed until we first saw it it
went a long way to attract people like
me who never really cared much about the
series before but diehard fans need not
worry
while Kratos and his son at Reyes
venture through the realm of Nordic
mythology your ability to pull off
impressive combos is not gone but merely
change the square button sort of acts as
a dedicated assist button that lets a
trace jump in long enough for you to get
that frosty axis swing it again
satisfying gameplay beautiful new worlds
interesting characters God of War didn't
just help prove that single-player games
still have a crucial place in today's
gaming climate it came out on top as the
best game of the whole year for our
secret number 11 if you love fighting
games like me and if you love Dragonball
like me then your wildest dreams came
true
in 2018 Dragonball Fighters deservingly
took the fgc by storm this year thanks
to its incredible graphics 133 game play
and but loads of fanservice and my
fanservice I don't just mean the
attention to detail I know you all had a
thing for Android 21 Hey no keep saving
