Games of 2018 - what I played through the year

Welcome to 2019. And first thing we do is is look back at 2018 - more specifically what games I have played. Compared to the last couple of years ( 2017 games and 2016 games ) the total number played is much reduced at 68. Nine games were completed this year, plus all the story dlc for Destiny 2 and two of three story dlc for Ghost Recon Wildlands. 16 games played were already completed in earlier years and there was only 3 beta/alpha's played this year.

There were nine demo's - again which I'm couting as separate to full games as progress in the demo isn't transferred to the main game. Rare replay has 30 games of which I tried each one once, and Tales From the Borderland I've separated out into five games (of which three episodes I played in 2017) and these I think contribute to a massive increase from 2016, alongside the 26 games for the Cancer Research marathon. There is a marked increase in Android games, as I look for an offline game that will tide me over (and not really finding one) and I'm using the Xbox much more th
