Which game won Game of the Year at The Game Awards in 2018?

God of War won Game of the Year at The Game Awards in 2018.

Santa Monica Studio's God of War received the top award at the ceremony held on December 6, 2018. It competed against major releases including Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Celeste, Monster Hunter: World, Marvel's Spider-Man, and Red Dead Redemption 2.

The award recognized the game's reinvention of the long-running series. Instead of continuing the earlier linear Greek revenge formula, the 2018 game used a Norse setting, a more intimate father-and-son story, an over-the-shoulder camera, and a single continuous presentation style.

The result is sometimes confused with other awards from the same year. Red Dead Redemption 2 won several categories, including Best Narrative and Best Performance, while God of War also won awards for Best Game Direction and Best Action/Adventure. The Game Awards' 2018 ceremony honored games released during that calendar year.
