Welcome back to Platted That! This week we’re going to do a quick rundown of the biggest hit (so far) of 2018, and one of the best console exclusives ever made.

Madden ’18 was a return to form for a series that was in desperate need of a fresh start. It’s easy to dismiss games that have yearly iterations as more of the same but, with ’18, not only did they make major improvements to the gameplay and overall fun factor – they added a single player story campaign for the first time with the incredibly popular Longshot mode. Madden ’19 takes everything that was good about ’18 and improves on it in almost every way and even brings back Longshot for season two, making this the best Madden game of the generation.
Handsome & Humble is an ongoing series from Handsome Phantom about the games in the Humble Monthly Bundle.
