A great multiplayer game makes you want to come back and engages all players. Communication, fun factor, and great modes are what make a multiplayer game great. We didn’t get too many multiplayer exclusive games like we did last year, that really stood out, but some had great multiplayer modes.

Monster Hunter: World

You don’t always have to wipe each other out or curse profanities at someone because your quick-scope wasn’t quick enough. Sometimes playing together can be just as rewarding as fragging someone and Monster Hunter World proved that this year. There’s nothing more satisfying than wiping out a high-level monster with 3 friends and screaming and cheering on the mic…or dishing out mom jokes when they don’t listen to you. Guess you can’t win them all.
