Nominees for Destructoid’s Best PS4 Game of 2018

No time to catch our breath

Last year, our PlayStation 4 Game of the Year nominee list was dominated by Japanese games including Nioh, NieR, and Persona 5. This year, it’s not so one-sided. God of War and Spider-Man are heavy hitters, and for a lot of people, it’ll boil down to those two major releases. But there was so much more!

There was something worthwhile to play every single month of the year and then some.

In that way, 2018 felt like a continuation of 2017. It’s a fantastic time to enjoy video games of all shapes, sizes, and subject matter. Really, that’s the only thing we needed more of this year: time.

These are the nominees for Destructoid’s Best PS4 Game of 2018:

• Call of Duty: Black Ops 4
  
• Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age
  
• God of War
  
• Guacamelee 2
  
• Monster Hunter: World
• Spider-Man
  
• Tetris Effect
