Voters showed up for God of War this month. Congrats, Santa Monica Studio!
Okay, so. We knew God of War had a shot at winning this poll, but y’all really like God of War:
Congratulations, Santa Monica Studio, on your landslide victory — God of War is officially (well, according to the readers of PlayStation.Blog, which makes it official in my eyes) the best new game of April 2018!
And thank you, readers, for the huge turnout in this month’s poll! Now then — any predictions for May?
April’s gone already? What?! Where did it go? Oh, right — video games!
High-profile heavy hitters God of War and Yakuza 6: The Song of Life dominated the new release lineup in April, along with some eye-catching independent games like Owlboy, Minit, Rick and Morty: Virtual Rickality, and The Swords of Ditto.
But only one of these titles can claim the Players’ Choice crown. We’ve compiled a list of April’s top-rated games, and the final decision lies with you.
Read on for rules and more details, or keep scrolling down to cast your vote. The poll closes at 11:59pm Pacific on Tuesday, May 10!
What is the voting criteria? That’s up to you! If you were only able to recommend one new release to a friend that month, which would it be? In keeping with our long tradition in the Game of the Year Awards, remastered or re-released games won’t qualify. Ambitious, larger-scale rebuilds and remakes like Shadow of the Colossus and Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy will.
How are nominees decided? The PlayStation.Blog and PlayStation Store editorial teams will gather a list of that month’s most noteworthy releases and use it to seed the poll. Write-in votes will be accepted.
God of War – easily.
Yakuza 6 has better combat, better story, better characters, better writing, better gameplay diversity, etc.
It’s not even a debate, Yakuza 6 is objectively a better game. The only thing god of war has is being done in one shot, which even as an actor and one time film maker, that’s just film school drop out pretentious bs.
@bryan2113 You’re the funniest!!!!! I’m sure you meant “subjectively a better game” LOL
The internet: giving a voice to people who spent their whole childhood alone and singled out…
@bryan2113
How about no
God Of War is hundreds of times better
@bryan2113 I loved Yakuza 6, and the whole series, but I’m not sure I’d agree that 6 has better combat than GoW. IMO it has the weakest combat in the entire Yakuza franchise, besides the first two games on PS2. The story, characters, writing, acting and variety of gameplay I’ll agree on that it has over GoW(still haven’t finished GoW yet.. finished Y6 first).
@bryan2113, that’s your opinion, no need to try to convince others. The people have spoken! You may not accept it, but you cannot deny that. I like Yakuza series, but its far from God of War. Only thing I like about Yakuza is a story.
Bryan just stop. You’re convincing ain’t going to work lol we clearly know what is the better game and the ppl have spoken. Get ah grip!
God of war was and is a great game. I loved it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐s. Great game play and full of action
