As far as remakes and remasters have come, 2018 may have been one of the best so far. With a full re-imagining of Pokemon Yellow with Pokemon Let’s Go, to the return of the classic open world racer series (that we only hope we can see more of) Burnout Paradise. Here was our pick for the best remastered/remake of 2018.
AND THE NOMINEES ARE:
Spyro Remastered
Yakuza Kiwami 2
Burnout Paradise Remastered
Pokemon Let’s Go
Shadow of the Colossus
THE WINNER IS:
YAKUZA KIWAMI 2
Sega’s Ryu ga Gotoku Studio had a great 2018 by bringing delivering the end to the Yakuza series in Yakuza 6, plus giving us a proper Fist of the North Star brawler, but it was definitely the return to the most beloved Yakuza storylines that impressed us. Like Yakuza Kiwami, Kiwami 2 restructured the game by adding new content, cutscenes, remastered voice work and plenty of new material that made one of the best entry’s to the series even better.
