Top Ten Most Enjoyable Video Games in 2018!

If you are anything like me, video games with friends is much more enjoyable than by yourself. I constantly get bored of playing single-player games and especially bored of playing multiplayer games by myself (solo-queuing). So, I decided to make a list of the most fun games to play with friends! Of course, this is all my own personal opinion and if you have a change to this list, feel free to let me know! Also, I have limited each to one of the genres, just so it does not feel repetitive! Now, on to the list! This list will also have Amazon affiliate links, if you do indeed plan on buying the game.

10. World of Warcraft:

One of the greatest MMORPG’s of all time is still one of the most popular games to play to-date. As I am looking at the Twitch.tv list of most popular games right now, it stands at number six. This could be due to Sodapoppin playing it or many other popular streamers, but it definitely deserves a place on this list for being a game people play with friends. This is a game where many people can group up and start raids, bringing many hours of enjoyment! (Especially when we have the beautiful meme of Leeerrroyyy Jenkins!)

9. Jackbox Party Pack:

I was surprised that many people have not heard of this game series (the last game being Jackbox Party Pack 4). This game is very unique: so, each person who’s playing has their phone be their “controller” and you go through different types of games such as Fibbage where you try to lie and make other people vote for your saying or Guesspionage, where you have to try to guess a percentage of people (such as how many people read top ten articles from a lame person) and then the other people try to guess if the correct answer is higher or lower. It is a group of games that everyone enjoys playing, even non-gamers. I have played this hundreds of times with friends and family; this is a great game to put on this list.

You can buy these games through Steam!

8. Tabletop Simulator:

Similar to the #9, we have Tabletop Simulator. This is a game where you can download and play any of your favorite board games. Coming from someone who plays board games a great deal with a lot of friends, you can see the enjoyment factor of a simulator you can use to play online. I have played games such as Cosmic Encounters to Magic: the Gathering to Risk, all in one game that was ten dollars when I bought it.

7. Super Smash Bros. Series:

Many fighting games have always been popular, from Mortal Kombat to Street Fighter. With the much anticipated Super Smash Bros. Ultimate coming out by December, I can guarantee this will be one of the most played fighting games of the year. Even though it is not out yet, this game series is still extremely popular, being used in tournaments (Super Smash Bros. Melee) as well as many friends dueling it out with each other in giant free-for-all’s. Many fighting games are the same, but I have not seen any pull off the giant fight-to-the-death that Super Smash Bros. has done with multiple people.

6. Mario Kart 8:

Racing games are similar to fighting games in the sense that they have always been around. Mario Kart has been around since 1992, but the recent release in 2017 has become an extremely popular game. Not only is this game a childhood gem for many people in the 90’s, but almost every one of my friends love playing this game with a group of people. I remember back during the Nintendo 64, everyone would come over and we would all take turns racing it out with four controllers. Definitely an amazing time, and it is still being replicated to this day!

5. Dead by Daylight:

What is an October list without a horror game? Not a good one, I’ll give you that! Dead by Daylight is an excellent game of ‘spoopy’ hide-and-seek where four survivors must fix generators and escape before dying to the mysterious killer, such as Michael Myers or ‘The Doctor’. Playing with three other friends, this game is a complete blast. Everyone is dying of laughter as we keep trying to juke the killer and save our friends. Think of it like this, horror games are scary, especially alone, but imagine how fun it would be to play with three of your close friends? The eerie feeling goes away and it becomes a game full of fun and laughter, something that Dead by Daylight brings a lot of to the many that play it.

4. Rocket League:

This is one of my personal favorite games, not only because it is soccer with cars (how can you say no to soccer with CARS!), but because of the fun matches that you can have with your friends. Many of the hours that I have put into this game come from the custom games that I can play with my friends. Having a giant 4v4 battle (or 3v3) of soccer where you battle it out to see who can score more goals, or playing “dropshot”, a game mode of where you do not want the ball to bounce on your side, to “ping pong” where you can only touch the ball on your half of the court. Any way that you play this game, it all leads to so much fun with friends. There is also a very competitive side to the game too, which makes playing with your competitive friends fun as well, especially if you want to get good at the game!

3. Rainbow Six: Siege

First person shooters have been very popular over time, especially series such as Counter Strike and Call of Duty. Both of those two series are very fun with friends, but nothing beats the new Rainbow Six: Siege. This game brings the strategy of Counter Strike and mixes in multidimensional floors and give each player an ability, through the form of tactical operators (as they are called). When I play this game with friends, it brings out a competitive side of us, trying to win and get better at the game. This is a great game if you are trying to win and also have a good time with your friends. Counter Strike is also an alternative if you are looking for a less strategic alternative.

2. League of Legends:

Any MOBA (Dota 2, Heroes of the Storm, etc.) could have fit in this category, but I think that League of Legends is definitely the most refined and popular. I have sunk many hours into this game, and each time I play, the game feels amazing to play with friends. This game is a 5v5 arena, where each player tries to defeat the other team while also working together to clear objectives. It is a very communicative experience, where each other teammate needs to go through the difficulty of the game, together, or lose as one. Many of my friends play this game (on top of many people playing the game in general, being one of the most played games of all time) and I absolutely love playing this game with teams of five, where we can go into the game knowing all of our strengths and weaknesses and working on improving our game sense as well as our overall teamwork. I highly recommend this game to people who are looking for a challenge!

This game is free! Who doesn’t like free??

1. Fortnite

It would not be a top ten list of games to play with friends without a battle royale game being the number one spot! Fortnite is by far the most popular game of this year as well as the most enjoyable to play with friends. Almost everyone I know has heard of this game either through the news or from gamers. If a game can literally bring Drake, Travis Scott, and Ninja (a very popular streamer and one of the best Fortnite players in the world) together to play Fortnite, you know that this is a great game to play with your friends. Many of the other battle royales could definitely fit this spot, such as PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and Realm Royale. With the release of the new game mode for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 being a battle royale, the genre is going to become even more popular to play with your friends.

This game is also free! Coincidence? I think not!

Well, this has been my Top Ten list of most enjoyable games to play with your friends in 2018. I hope you enjoyed it and I hope some of these games reached out to you and make you want to go try them!
