3. Places must be indicated, as this greatly simplifies the procedure for counting votes. Even if your message contains only one game, please indicate which category it belongs to and put next to it the corresponding number of the place where it is in your sheet.

Voting is over. Thanks to everyone who participated. The results will be within a week.
The winner is clear.
The incorruptible audience of the gamag made the only right choice
I ran my eyes along the thread and was very upset that people play 2-5 projects in total in a year. Previously, on the PS360 generation (before the price increase), similar tops were many times richer.
By the way, I forgot to mention the kingdum kam. Although it's already late, but at the 4th place in the top of the best he will be just right.

It's not just about raising prices - people grow, taste develops, many games simply become uninteresting, and time is usually more difficult to allocate with age.
And sometimes you don't even have the strength to play.

That's right, because according to statistics, the average age of a gamer is constantly growing, and therefore the attitude towards toys is changing.
ZY It's funny, but even so in 2018 I played more time in total than in 2015-2017. This is what the baby does to people. 
So the results of the voting for the "Best Games of 2018" according to the users of the Gamemag website forum have been summed up. The results will consist of 2 parts: in the first (this post) the winners in all nominations are indicated, except for "Game of the Year", which will be just in the second part, plus any statistics and other little things (I will add it within a few days, how I will finish and draw up ).
