Great list, thanks for compiling Muzy
Some good stuff coming up this year, something for everyone there and there's presumably still loads to be revealed.
Surprised Valkyria Chronicles and Fire Emblem did so well, they are what I'm looking forward to most. And Dragon Quest, Wargroove, Bloodstained etc. That's cheered me up on a dark January morning, so thanks everyone! :D

Aww yeah! Rockstar need to drop more details and a release date. Like now.
I honestly thought God of War was gonna snag it given the mentions but damn, the difference in votes for the top 3 and anything under is crazy.
Thanks Muzy! Great job especially since you had to count them by hand in the end! lol
The difference between #3 and #4, lol.
Sadly, not much Nintendo presence on this list, but let's hope they can create some excitement this Thursday.

I mean, there's hardly anything announced yet, so it makes sense lol
This is looking to be a great year. We are still waiting for lots of announcements and release dates, but 2018 already has very promising games scheduled for the first few months.
I didn't vote for any of the top 3 at all. Also, I guess at least 3 of the games listed here will be delayed to 2019.
Was Odyssey even on last year's list? I don't think so since it was announced in the January direct. Crazy
Still think this election is increasingly pointless now Nintendo seems set on only formally announcing their games in January, which is why I didn't vote, but that said, that's a really solid list for my PlayStation. RDR2, Spiderman, Detroit, SotC all seem like a given.
Hmm...Detroit at #6 and Days Gone at #15 is really surprising to me.
There is some hate for both of them, but there are so many people here complaining about David Cage that I really thought it wouldn't be in the Top10.

Yea at that point all we had was a few seconds of footage from the Switch announcement.
Just to compare, I went back to look at gaf's 2017 list.
1. Zelda
2. Persona 5
3. Horizon
4. RDR2
5. Mass Effect: Andromeda
6. Nier: Automata
7. Nioh
8. Resident Evil 7
9. Gravity Rush 2
10. Ni No Kuni 2
So ends the Zelda/Persona streak, it was a good run. In general, with the sole exception of Zelda, one would've believed 2017 to be Playstation's year as well, yet we all know how it turned out in the end. Like last year's list, Nintendo hasn't talked much about their 2018 slate, which they should be doing so in the coming month(s). I'm convinced some of the rankings would have switched (heh) around if we actually knew and have seen some of what was coming this year.
I also kind of wonder if KH3 would've been higher if more people believed it was coming out this year. :P

I voted for both God of War and Spider-Man, but they appeared at #5 and #7 respectively on my ballot. Still excited about them, though there are games that have higher priority.
I don't care about Red Dead Redemption II at all, but I'm not surprised that it's #1. I'm clearly in the minority of people who just aren't crazy about Rockstar.
Perhaps more of a vocal minority? Not everyone is into these types of multi-option and outcome narrative-driven experiences, especially when the stories and characters can sometimes be a bit on the nose.
Heavy Rain at least, has sold nearly 5 million copies and was well received with an 87% meta. Beyond Two Soul's was less impressive, but still liked by many. Clearly, there is a fairly large audience and base who enjoy these types of games.
Doesn't the PC version not come out until Fall 2018 or something crazy?
Into the Breach seems to be completely absent on the list (even though I voted it as number one and I think someone more had it on their list). Is that title not eligible? Else I will assume that I somehow screwed up and my vote was voided, or that I failed to spot it in the list. Thanks to the organizers no matter what!
Top 3 was much closer together than I expected. I'm not surprised to see Red Dead at the top, though I thought it would be further ahead but I guess not enough was shown.
Despite all the loot box controversy I really didn't think Anthem would be so low on the list. It probably also didn't help that despite a strong E3 demo they did nothing to follow-up on it and build interest.

Yeah sorry about that! I'm super excited for the game too, but couldn't find any official word about a 2018 launch even though it's very likely. :/
Detroit would sell because it's a triple-A option for a niche market that enjoy these kinds of story games.
How did it turn out in the end? A fantastic year for gaming is definitely my take. I'd be ecstatic if there are two games of the caliber of Mario or Zelda out on the Switch in 2018.
PC version doesn't come out till Fall.
XB1 doesn't have any beta.
PS4 console exclusive in Japan.
Just an FYI; I think the fourth quote under GoW in the OP was intended for RDR2 instead.
Yeah, they said they're "aiming for fall 2018", so even fall is uncertain still.
2018 is going to be a fantastic year for games, starting with DBFZ and MHW this month.
Great list.
Great list.

Oh goodness you're right! I'll fix that tomorrow morning, need some sleep right now~
Sad to say that 2018 is looking like a weak year for me; most of that top 20 doesn't interest me :-/
PS:I don't see MediEvil PS4 anywhere in the list?

Was confirmed as a 2018 title at its announcement

I only mention it as it was one of the few titles I voted for :p
