The first half of 2018 has provided players with another formidable line-up of top games, packed with monster hunting hijinks, earnest indie love stories and god-thumping blockbusters. That is if you can tear yourself away from Fortnite, of course.
We will be keeping an evolving list of the best games for Xbox One, PS4, Switch, PC and mobile across the year –with many of the best new and upcoming games sure to make the grade– so check back regularly for updates and let us know in the comments if any of your favourites demand inclusion.
