Any games from the last gen managed to crack your top 10?

[Deleted member 11370]

Dark Souls 3 and MGSV, probably. But there's a ton of games I haven't played. I'm really enjoying Deus Ex MD at the moment, and it could well end in my Top 10... though only time will tell.

 

[Donsonite]

Yeah, probably four games, but I've got a lot of classics from past gens to catch up on so it was bound to happen.

 

[Albin]

Half-life: Alyx, Alien Isolation and Witcher 3 for sure (and Wipeout Omega, but it just replaced the PS3-version)

Doom Eternal, Onward and Climbey perhaps

 

[ThereAreFourNaan]

Wolfenstein: The New Order and Doom 2016 are definitely in there.

Prey 2017 might be in there, I'm not totally sure.

Despite disliking certain aspects of it, I can't deny that Hearts of Iron IV and Europa Universalis IV both dominated a lot of my life over the period and are special games in their own right.

 

[salary0n]

Bloodborne is really good, really really good. I really enjoyed my experience with it, platinumed it, and still occasionally playing it. It's one of the top three for me along side MGS and FFVII.

 

[Sasliquid]

None in my top 5
2 in my Top 10 (Witcher 3 and Persona 5)
1 in my Top 20 (Bloodborne)
Top 50 - TLOU2, BOTW, God of War, RDR2, DQXI, Titanfall 2, Doom

 

[Etoh]

Breath of the Wild
&
Hollow Knight

I think either God of War or The Last of Us Part II managed to sneak into my Top 10, but I'm still pretty much undecided.

 

[Bushido]

Breath of the Wild surpassed Ocarina of Time as my no.1 and Bloodborne managed to enter my Top 10 as well. Bunch of other games made it at least into my Top 20 (Dishonored 2, Hollow Knight, Stardew Valley, maybe God of War as well).

 

[RingoGaSuki]

Fire Emblem Three Houses became my favourite game ever, so absolutely yes. Dragon Quest XI S is top 5, and Pikmin 3 and Smash Ultimate are top 10 for sure.

Take it out to top 25 and I'd also have: Overcooked 1/2, Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity too.

Oh, and I've only played the first four chapters, but Yakuza 0 is definitely pushing its way up too.

 

[Powdered Egg]

Persona 5 and TLOU2 2

 

[Aarglefarg]

I haven't tried to make a Greatest of All Time list, but I'm sure The Witness would be in my top 10.

The second game on my Game of the Decade list was The Last Guardian, I might play through it again to see how it holds up in an All Time frame.

 

[Rover_]

yep, this last gen rocked my top 10 all timers.

TLOU2, God of War, BOTW, Undertale, The Last Guardian, Witcher 3, Bloodborne...

So are we in another golden age of games?

Click to shrink...

yes. we have plenty of classics launching yearly from indie to AAA.

 

[Phendrana]

Half of my top 10 changed this gen after being pretty much static for years.

1. Metroid Prime
2. Shadow of the Colossus
3. Chrono Trigger
4. Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition

[Deleted member 29691]

It's Bloodborne for me dog

 

[megashock5]

I don't know if we're counting Switch as last gen or not, but BOTW and Mario Odyssey came out in 2017 and are my #1 and #2 of all time.
And I've been playing since the early 80s.

 

[Skulldead]

Bloodborne and Sayonara wild hearts for sure

 

[Deleted member 12833]

Bloodborne
MGS5
RDR2

 

[Staf]

Witcher 3 for sure and probably Dragon Age: Inquisition.

 

[Mathieran]

Most of them are from last gen now. Nostalgia doesn't do a lot for me.

I know Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime will remain but I don't know after that.

 

[Nephilim]

1. Red Dead Redemption 2
2. Death Stranding
3. TloU2
4. Xenoblade Chronicles
5. Metroid Prime
6. The Witcher 3+expansions
7. Zelda Ocarina of Time
8. God of War 2018
9. Smash Bros Ultimate
10. Subnautica

More or less my list. First three are a lock and rest is interchangable.

Amazing gen for me.

 

[Mbolibombo]

Botw
Hollow Knight
Hades

These three I'm sure would fit in my top 10.

Possibly more, but from the top of my head these are the ones I am sure of.

 

[Zombine]

The bottom 5 of my top 10 get pushed around a lot. There is room for a game or two from the current Gen to shuffle things around. With that said, my top 5 are all games that are pretty well cemented in history, and would take some sort of wild advancement in tech to break.

 

[.exe]

Oh yeah. Into the Breach, Disco Elysium, Hades (?), The Witness, Dishonored 2 and a few others that I'm forgetting most likely. Games just keep on getting better.

 

[Embrodak]

I'm mighty impressed so many people have a top 10 at the ready, and some even a top 25. I mean, do you curate those lists on a yearly basis? I would actually need to sit down and think long and hard on this to even make a top 5 I guess.

But I think Hollow Knight might be in there.

 

[AmirMoosavi]

Does Yakuza 0 count? I know it technically came out on PS3, but even that was in 2015 when last gen had been around for a year, and I played it on its PC release.

Doom Eternal.

 

[Deleted member 3017]

Bloodborne and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

I need to play it again to confirm, but Yakuza 0 might crack my Top 10 as well.

 

[Titanpaul]

Outer wilds
Titanfall 2
Spelunky

 

[Mukrab]

KI, Doom, Doom Eternal, Bloodborne

 

[Unaha-Closp]

The Last of Us Part II would certainly be in my Top 10 had I made one. Probably The Witcher 3 too. Fuck and I loved Horizon Zero Dawn and Nier Automata so yeah last gen was stacked. You could make a Top 10 just from last gen and be quite happy about it I am sure.

 

[Deleted member 41178]

Not that ai really rank them but if I had to I'd say my top 20 were all from last gen, I don't find games age that well to be honest.

 

[Elandyll]

For me, Bloodborne and Soma have now joined the list.

 

[Melchiah]

Bloodborne, Driveclub, and What Remains of Edith Finch.

 

[Larrikin]

My Top 10 before Last Gen:

1. Psychonauts
2. Final Fantasy IX
3. The World Ends With You
4. Pokemon Gold/Silver
5. Final Fantasy VII
6. Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
7. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time

[BrunOz]

I was about to say Vanquish but then I've just remembered that PS5 and Series S/X really do exist lol.

Easy answer, Bloodborne.

 

[Damn Silly]

Life Is Strange and Life Is Strange: Before the Storm definitely (though I usually put them in the same spot, because I can't split them)

The two Oris, nuHitman and Bloodborne would all be fighting for top 10 too, depending on what kinda mood I'm in.

 

[Deleted member 49611]

Bloodborne, The Witcher 3, Persona 5 Royal, Breath of the Wild.

 

[Hilarious_Bearious]

I love these low-key Bloodborne threads!

Bloodborne and Death Stranding took my top 2 slots. I'd say the remake of Dragon's Trap replaced the original in my top 10. I'd put MGSV, Horizon Zero Dawn and BotW somewhere in my top 20 too. The PS4/Switch/Xbone generation has been amazing.

 

[Kazooie]

Yes, Pikmin 3 and Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest.

 

[Altrich]

Dark souls (its on switch and ps4 guys) is on my top 10.
There are some others that am not sure about top 10 but def. top 30:
Disco elysium
Divinity original sin 2
Return of obra dinn
Witcher 3
Yakuza 0
Titanfall 2
Nier Automata

Is europa universalis iv and mario galaxy considered last gen?

 

[joshcam19]

Bloodborne and The Last of Us Part II for sure.
Maybe God of War.

 

[Sprat]

Just shenmue 3 and days gone.

 

[wbloop]

God of War 2018 for sure. It became my second favorite game of all time after Mario Galaxy 1/2. Mario Odyssey and BOTW would be in my Top 10, too, I think.

 

[EatChildren]

I don't keep a mental list of "top 10s" or anything, but games like Bloodborne, The Witcher 3, God of War '18, Return of the Obra Dinn, and Death Stranding are absolutely amongst the best gaming I've ever had.

 

[AzorAhai]

Let's see...

1. Super Mario Galaxy 2
2. Bloodborne
3. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
4. Portal 2
5. Final Fantasy X
6. Super Mario Bros. 3
7. Shadow of the Colossus
8. The Last of Us
9. Uncharted 3
10. Professor Layton 3

So that's two. #2 and #3 though, that's impressive. Recency bias means their rank could change over time though.

Gen 7 still king though.

 

[theosmeo]

Automata certainly did, Idk if virtues last reward qualifies as last gen but thats in there, and depending on my mood dmcv and sonic mania might be as well

none of them crack top 5 however


once i finally get around to yakuza ishin i suspect that will have a decent shot at top 10 as well

 

[hans_castorp]

Hollow Knight and Disco Elysium

Bloodborne and Outer Wilds are close

 

[Father Kratos]

Witcher 3 and Astro Bot - definitely
Currently playing Bloodborne and planning to play Persona 5 Royale next, both of which might sneak in the top 10.
Then there is Yakuza 0, God of War, Resident Evil 7(in VR), Nier Automata.....so many to pick. This has been an amazing generation.

 

[FTF]

BOTW and possibly TLOU2 (I swap it with TLOU a lot though when thinking of top 10).

 

[Ramsay]

BOTW and Celeste are numbers 1 and 2 on my list.

Similarly, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Undertale, Bug Fables, Mario Kart 8, Super Mario 3D World and Hollow Knight are all in my top 20.

 

[CabooseMSG]

1) Red Dead Redemption 2
2) Red Dead Redemption
3) Fallout: New Vegas
4) Bioshock Infinite
5) Witcher 3
6) Zelda: BOTW
7) Bioshock
8) Dark Souls 3
9) Pyre
10) Rockband 3 (but really the whole series)

So it seems like the answer is five for me.
