THE BEST 2018 COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES REVEALED
2018
The Fancensus High Score Lineup
Another year in the books and with it another batch of top quality titles launched from the big AAA publishers right down to smaller independent studios. I continue to say this every year and 2018 has continued to emphasise my point - it’s never been a better time to be a gamer and for the industry as a whole.
leases. With games as a service becoming bigger and bigger we thought it interesting to explore older games that still have a strong presence.
Why? You just need to take a quick look at the output during 2018, everything from the behemoths God of War and Red Dead Redemption 2 to amazing indie experiences such as Dead Cells and Celeste. All are featured inside...
As always we continue to evolve the way we compile the yearly list, understanding a brand’s worth hinges on many elements. Put simply this report does what others do not. It takes all major communication channels into consideration. Using our sophisticated measurement criteria we provide insight into the bigger picture when it comes to the year’s biggest and most influencial releases. Using just the one source to establish success is not offering the full story and Fancensus continues to understand this.
The world of video games is changing and to reflect the sheer wealth and range of experiences out there we have amended our High Score Lineup also. Rather than list the overall fifty releases with the best press and social campaigns we’ve doubled that figure to one hundred and also broken it down into four tiers - everything from indie games to big AAA titles. We’ve even included a look at the ten biggest ongoing re-
All this not only makes comparisons fairer and more relevant but also means a better array of games are analysed.
So congratulations to all featured titles and the industry as a whole. Here’s to an amazing year! Ryan Janes

W HAT D OES I T A LL MEA N ?
The Fancensus High Score Lineup features a selection of the 100 best performing releases of 2018. To equally analyse each title we consider the PR (website and physical), YouTube, Twitter and Facebook activity received during the calendar year 2018. We assign a product tier to all products (AAA, A-tier, mid-tier and indie) based on a number of criteria including brand recognition, developer and budget (where available) among others. We understand that video games come in a range of shapes and sizes so rather than produce a single list for every title from 2018, this year we are splitting our winners into four top 25 lists - one for each tier. Tier rankings and overall rankings are based on featured products only. /> 46% TIER AVG.
Represents if coverage is below or above the tier average.
All analysis is based on our database of over 20 thousand recognised websites, YouTube channels and social accounts. All figures are rounded for clarity. represents a game’s average 85% review score. List includes games that saw Early Access or full 1.0 release in 2018. It includes remasters. It excludes mobile apps (unless stated) and ports of games previously released on other platforms.
