7. 'Hearthstone'

Coming at number seven is another game from Blizzard Entertainment called Hearthstone. This game was released in 2013. Hearthstone is a card game based on the World of Warcraft war.

Hearthstone is the first on this list that has a free-to-play feature. But trust me, it’s not the last.

Free-to-play games have been the most popular features in today’s market, which is a slam dunk.

Plus, you don’t have to pay for them, which is even better.

At least not until the game sucks you in and you end up spending tons of money. Believe me, I fell for the trap and end up paying a lot of money. After experiencing this situation, I learned the importance of spending money and knowing how to spend without being trigger happy.

Recently, Hearthstone broke its active player usage record in late 2017 during its last expansion. In addition, this game has over 71 million users, which is mind boggling.

During the first week, the game has a daily active player usage of over 600,000 strong. The gameplay alone will allow you to become a soldier from within.

5. 'Dragon Ball Fighter Z'

Coming in at number five is the action-packed fighting game we have ever seen, called Dragon Ball Fighter Z. From epic finishing moves, to amazing transformations, and team chemistry, this groundbreaking game gave us a lot to be thankful for. The game was released by Bandai Namco Entertainment in January 2018. Dragon Ball Fighter Z became the fastest selling Dragon Ball game a week after its release, which is very impressive.

In addition, the sales of this game reached second behind Monster Hunter: World in Japan with over 68,000 in its first week. In October, the game sold over 3.5 million copies worldwide, making Dragon Ball Fighter Z the best fighting game in 2018.

The reason why I love this game is because of its art design and animation fitting well with the fighting mechanics. Each Dragon Ball character possess great fighting abilities, which makes them fun to use and play.

The team battle itself brings out the best in this game.

1. 'Fortnite'

The most popular video game in 2018 right now is by Epic Games: Fortnite. Released in late 2017, Fortnite recently broke video game records, peaking at almost 4 million active players.

That is unheard of.

Fortnite is also a Battle Royale game where you players enter the playing field, but only one survive. This game has been challenging League of Legends as the most popular streamed game on Twitch and YouTube.

What makes this game a lot of fun is the battle royale that makes the game extremely accessible to a massive audience.
