Polls Open: Players’ Choice September 2018

It’s time! Cast your vote in the Players’ Choice poll for September and help decide the best new game of September 2018. Marvel’s Spider-Man is an obvious nominee, but we’ve got lots of other great picks this month too — Hollow Knight, FIFA 19, The Gardens Between, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Valkyria Chronicles 4, Transference… what’s your pick?

How does it work? At the end of every month, PlayStation.Blog will open a poll where you can vote for the best new game released that month. Soon thereafter, we’ll close the polls, tally your votes, and announce the winner at PlayStation.Blog. PlayStation Store will also showcase some top Players’ Choice winners throughout the year.

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.

Dragon Quest XI for me. It was a tough decision between it and Spider-Man for me. I’m looking to get Spider-Man around Black Friday.

Hollow Knight for sure. It’s a great game, I have yet to play it much, but watching my teens play it in the living room is a joy just as much as playing it. Great Soundtrack and a Great platformer. Not a PSN exclusive, but it’s GREAT nonetheless!

Hard time deciding between Spiderman and Tomb Raider. Loved both games. I think next month is gonna be tougher, with few games coming out.

Got my Vote in , but can playstation please ffix or updated your PS App firmware for android. Can’t pass the “I’m not a robot verficatoin” it crashes with Error C-80130069. This all started Sept 11th 2018 . while signed in all I wanted to do was create a different custom profile avatar and I was asked to sign in again and every time since it just crashes. (Already reported to PS support & Calling in). Now I’m forced to use my PC, so that’s how I voted.. Thanks for the opportunity. Go PlayStation.

  yes I’ve been having that same problem for quite a while. Apparently CAPTCHA is not supported on the old phones anymore. it kind of is a bummer. and I hope Sony does fix this because that’s all I have is my phone :-(

This iteration of Spider-Man was the single most immersive, unique, challenging, new, beautiful, and above all else FUN Spider-Man game I’ve ever played. In Marvel’s Spider-Man you can do things never done before which allows for more diverse decision making especially on the hardest difficulty. 9.5/10

Why? You guys at Sony releasing too many blockbusters. So I cannot compare Spider-Man to God of War or The Last of Us but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a truly fantastic game.

Valkyria Chronicles 4 is a masterpiece. It probably won’t win, but voting for it anyway :-)
- Ackehece
  October 1, 2018 at 5:20 pm PDT
  
  It’s brilliant and yes it should win but I suspect that sales wise Spiderman wins just bt being a great game and more widely known. Smaller games such as this just don’t carry the vote even when they so richly deserve to.

Spider-Man is a great game, but everyone SERIOUSLY needs to consider buying Hollow Knight. I’ve put 40 hours into it on my switch. It’s a fantastic game. It’s well worth the $15. Honestly, it’s the best bang for your buck game out there.

Tough call between Timespinner, DQ11 and Valkyria Chronicles 4.

Voted Timespinner.

  I also voted for Timespinner. Of all the metroid-vania games coming out recently, this one gave me the most intense SotN vibes. Just finished one playthrough and got a present day ending. Definitely will be figuring out how to get the others.

This September, Spider-Man proved that the Urban Jungle of New York made for a better game setting than the jungles in Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
