7 Best Games of 2018 You Might Have Missed

7 Best Games of 2018 You Might Have Missed

2018 was an insane year for games. So many amazing titles were released this year. But, people getting all caught up in the Red Dead Redemption 2 s , Super Smash Bros. Ultimate s, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 s, and Monster Hunter: World s of the gaming world might have missed some other incredible games. So, let’s remind everyone of what’s also out there! When adding titles to your wishlist, don’t forget these seven games!

Toki

Toki

Toki is actually cheating a bit, since this originally was a classic run-and-gun game that originally appeared in arcades and on both the NES and Genesis. But it also just found its way to the Nintendo Switch with a new remake! In it, players help Toki save a captured princess. Even though he has been transformed into what is basically a gorilla, the change made it possible for him to shoot projectiles and spit fire. This updated version looks amazing.

Yo-Kai Watch Blasters

Yo-Kai Watch Blasters

The Nintendo 3DS is still kicking! If you have one, maybe look into Yo-Kai Watch Blasters: Red Cat Corps or White Dog Squad ? These are action games that function a lot like Koei Tecmo’s Warriors series, in that you put together a squad of characters from the Yo-Kai Watch series and head into maps to defeat enemies, help other Yo-Kai, and fight giant monsters called Oni. Each character has a different role to fill, you have a lot of people you can recruit, and there’s even multiplayer!

Iconoclasts

Iconoclasts

Do you love action-adventure games that require you to be skilled, but also eventually unlock new abilities that grant you access to new places? Iconoclasts is for you! This is a game with incredible pixel art, a story that is both fun and deep, and accessible gameplay. It is so much fun to help Robin use her mechanical know-how to fight back against “Mother” and her One Concern so she can help ordinary people.

Civilization VI

Civilization VI

Civilization VI is not new. It made waves on the PC already, then made a splash on the iPad later. But those versions aren’t what we are here to talk about today. We’re talking about the Nintendo Switch version of Civilization VI, which made its debut in 2018. All of the fun of conquering a world on both the big screen or on the go. It makes enjoying one more turn easier than ever.

Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon

Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon

Do you love Castlevania ? Did you back Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night on Kickstarter? Well, Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon is a spin-off from the upcoming Koji Igarashi game that is 2D, looks like an NES game, and features multiple playable characters. Consider it a love letter to those Castlevania NES games you played as a child! Especially since now, you would be old enough to appreciate how challenging and detailed this kind of game can be!

Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom

Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom

Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is a great next JRPG for people who played and loved Dragon Quest XI or Final Fantasy XV . It has a sweeping story set in another world and tasks players with helping a deposed young king rally and create a new kingdom. You can recruit townsfolk, build up the kingdom, and take part in real-time strategy battles, along with the expected turn-based battles, along the way.

Valkyria Chronicles 4

Valkyria Chronicles 4

Valkyria Chronicles 4 is one of those games that is getting plenty of attention from fans of the series or people who love strategy games, but people who aren’t within those two spheres might not know it even exists. They should, because this is a fantastic turn-based strategy game with rich lore, engaging characters, Squad Story sidequests, and challenging maps. There are also plenty of add-ons, in case you want more experiences and battles.
