You've decided: These are the 10 best games of the year
26.12.2018
Translation: Eva Francis
2018 is almost over. About time to nominate the game of the year. We asked you to vote and you did. Let’s take a look at the winners.
It’s been a great year for us gaming enthusiasts – we’ve been spoilt for choice. To find out which game truly blew the minds of our digitec Community members, I asked you to vote for your favourite game of the year. I gave you over 100 titles to choose from. The result? It was a close race. Here’s your top 10.
10. «Call of Duty Black Ops 4»
9. «Forza Horizon 4»
Again, three titles ended up with the same percentage of votes. A closer look shows that Microsoft's racing game suffered a close defeat against the others. Nevertheless, it's a respectable result for «Forza Horizon 4», which was achieved by providing a huge selection of race cars, great graphics and beautiful seasonal effects.
8. «Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!»
The remake of the classic «Pokémon Yellow Version» isn't only an enjoyable trip down memory lane for nostalgics, it's also a gentle introduction for newcomers. Cute graphics, slightly simplified gameplay and a clever link to «Pokémon GO» make this game a must-have for all fans.
7. «Spider-Man»
After a long series of lousy «Spider-Man» games, most of us had given up hope that the stroke of genius, «Spider-Man 2», could be repeated. But with «Marvel’s Spider-Man», fans of the friendly spider from next door can now also enjoy their very own «Batman Arkham». Swinging through the streets of New York in a quest to keep the people safe is one of the highlights of this year.
6. «Super Smash Bros. Ultimate»
«Super Smash Bros. Ultimate» offers a choice of 74 crazy characters – and every one of them gives you a different gaming experience. In addition to the classic, chaotic, friendship-destroying multiplayer action, there's a pretty darn good single-player mode. It’s a really decent package that Nintendo has put together.
5. «Battlefield V»
Back in the trenches of the Second World War, it's time to destroy anything that gets into your way. Houses collapse, tanks explode in spectacular fashion and the huge battlefields guarantee the type of chaos you know and love from «Battlefield». To boost team play, all squad members can now revive each other. Ditching fee-based DLCs and Premium season passes is also a welcome decision.
4. «Far Cry 5»
Even though the story only evolves slowly, the latest part is again a colourful playground that invites you to linger. On top of all kinds of weapons and vehicles, the furry companions, such as Cheeseburger the Bear, were certainly one of the reasons why this game scored so many votes. If you haven't had enough, you're in for a treat: The sequel will be out in February.
3. «Assassin's Creed Odyssey»
It's not only the name that causes confusion: «Odyssey» also looks a lot like «Origins» at first glance. On closer inspection, however, the newest part introduces quite a few innovations and especially an immense and highly detailed game world that wants to be explored. On top of this, there are mythical monsters, plenty of new role-playing elements and two charismatic main characters that you'll love to accompany on their odyssey.
2. «God of War»
1. «Red Dead Redemption 2»

Philipp.Rueegg@digitecgalaxus.chAs a child, I wasn't allowed to have any consoles. It was only with the arrival of the family's 486 PC that the magical world of gaming opened up to me. Today, I'm overcompensating accordingly. Only a lack of time and money prevents me from trying out every game there is and decorating my shelf with rare retro consoles.
