Best Games of The Decade (The 2010s)
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?

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

Re: Best Games of The Decade (The 2010s)
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.

Re: Best Games of The Decade (The 2010s)
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.Simple Torture wrote: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.
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).

Re: Best Games of The Decade (The 2010s)
One weird thing that list does is it combined RDR and RDR2 into one list item. Like, wtf?

Re: Best Games of The Decade (The 2010s)
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.ABNorman wrote:Aaaaaand now I wanna go back and rank ALL the gAmea I played from this decade...

Re: Best Games of The Decade (The 2010s)
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.

Do you keep a journal or notebook of what you've played? If so, I need to start doing that.CopperTom wrote:I beat 112 games this decade.

Re: Best Games of The Decade (The 2010s)
For some reason, I started recording all games that I beat starting in 2010. I just have a notepad.Monkey_Driven wrote:Do you keep a journal or notebook of what you've played?

Re: Best Games of The Decade (The 2010s)
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.
