Best Games of The Decade (The 2010s)

[Monkey_Driven]

Polygon published their list:

https://www.polygon.com/features/2019/1 ... -pc-100-51

The order of this list is all over the place, but I think it is a good starting point for this conversation. What are your favorite games of the decade?

[PHATJ]

Mario games always top my list.

Mario games always top my list.

Mario Galaxy 2 (2010) is in my Top 5, though I haven't actually sat down to make my list.

[Simple Torture]

I initially thought I wouldn't have played enough games to make a list, but I've probably played like 15 games on Polygon's list, so I can probably put something together.

The list sort of reads like a hipster's top 100. I have some pretty major issues with their sequencing too, but it hits on most of the decade's best releases.

I would love to see other RMers top games of the decade! Feel free to make a list (only if it is 5-10 games).

One weird thing that list does is it combined RDR and RDR2 into one list item. Like, wtf?

1. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES)
2. Mario Kart (Wii)
3. Half-Life 2 (PC)
4. Twisted Metal 2 (PS1)
5. NHL 95 (Sega Genesis)
6. The Oregon Trail (graphical version, 1985, Apple II)
7. Metroid: Zero Mission (GBA)
8. Missile Command (Arcade)
9. Rocket League (PS4)
10. Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Father (PC)

[ABNorman]

Off the top of my head, my top 5 (in no particular order) would probably look something like this:

Subnautica
Doom 2016
Dishonored 1/2
Return of the Obra Dinn
Disco Elysium

I've probably put the most time into Cities: Skylines though.

Same. I bet I've played 250+ games since January 2010. Would be a beast to rank.

Nothing’s close for me..

God of War, Horizon, Borderlands 2, SM Galaxy 2, SM Odysey, tLoU, RDR, GTA5, Mass Effect 2 (unsure of year of release), Fire Emblem Awakening.

[CopperTom]

I only beat 14 of their list. I own a handful more that I have yet to play. I plan on buying a few more of them. There were many that I wasn’t familiar with somehow.

I beat 112 games this decade. I probably only played a handful that I didn’t beat through.

Do you keep a journal or notebook of what you've played? If so, I need to start doing that.

For some reason, I started recording all games that I beat starting in 2010. I just have a notepad.

You've just been preparing for this thread for almost a decade.

Shadow of the Colossus 2018 remake
Crash Bandicoot 2017 remake
Resident Evil 2 2019 remake
GTA V
Crash Team Racing 2019 remake

One original game in my top 5, I only played like maybe 10 games that weren’t remakes in the last 10 years anyway though. I guess I’d put Skyrim or Deus Ex Human Revolution in my top 10.

Alan Wake
Red Dead 2
Arkham City
Sunset Overdrive
The Wolf Among Us

Last one I just loved the story too much.
