There's lot's of different games on here. Unfortunately, I didn't see a whole lot of games that I'd like to get off that list.
 
God of War, Spiderman and RDR 2 will clear up on anything they can. I think RDR 2 will get GOTY just because of its popularity and the others will get the other awards.
 
So NameGervin NameGervin are you going to vote for Valkyria Chronicles 4 in the best Strategy Game of 2018 Category?
 
Isn't it the only one 'strategy' game as of the moment?
Battletech is also a good strategy rpg game and one of the nominees in the category, I like the game too but I voted for Valkyria Chronicles 4. And you haven't answered the question lol.
