The games on this list are not all 2018 releases.

I must have accomplished the above rules in 2018.

Whether cooperative or competitive multiplayer, I will detail whether I played with friends, matchmaking, or online or local multiplayer.

In the case of a multiplayer game, I must describe how I played it.

Instead, a completion of its main quest, story or campaign will suffice. This does not require a 100% of all that the game has to offer.

In the case of a non-multiplayer-only game, I must have played its single player experience to completion.

For one, we’re only going to talk about five games instead of the usual ten. So there will be some adjustment to the article this year. Two were multiplayer games and one was a replay of an old favorite with self-imposed challenge rules. I played seven games to completion this year. I have started more games than I played, I just haven’t finished them. Believe me, that’s not what I wanted to realize when I sat down to compile the list of games I completed this year in preparation for this piece.

I didn’t actually play a lot of games this year.
