Don't judge me.

Galaxians
Manic Miner
Sonic 2
Ultima V
Medal of Honour Allied Assault
Battlefront 2 (the old one)
COD World at War
Super Mario Galaxy
AC Black Flag
Uncharted 4


Objectively, I'd AC4 that good? Maybe not, but I couldn't put it down. Maybe it was the sea shanties. Maybe it was the big cheer you got when you took the helm.

UC4 speaks for itself. Played it after giving up on Witcher 3. Seemed like the perfect antidote to open world fatigue.

At the very least FF7 Remake, Forza Horizon 4, Sea of Thieves, and Breath of The Wild.

I'm not sure it still makes sense to me to have a top 10 anymore....
....if it did maybe BOTW and Outer Wilds would be competing for a spot.

Ah also (how could I forget?)
Rocket League

Last gen was the best gen ever so far. By a wide margin

Bloodborne
Hollow Knight
TLoU Pt. II

Easily in the top 10

The Witcher 3
TLOU2
What Remains of Edith Finch
Super Smash Bros Ultimate
Telltale The Walking Dead
RDR2

I very rarely replay old games and when I do it's very rare that I like them as much as when I first played them so most of my top 10 are recent games.

Horizon Zero Dawn, God of War and The Last of Us (1 and 2) are among my top 10 games of all time.

Stardew Valley likely jumped in there myself, other contenders would be FF7:R, Sonic Mania, Mario Odyssey to name a few. I can't say that I really think about what's in my top 10 very often anymore (It was way easier 15 years ago).

I'd say Bloodborne and The Last of Us 2 have cracked in. Definitely Bloodborne, that's for sure.

Hades, Bloodborne and Obra Dinn for sure.

RDR2 is really close and might actually be there. Would have to think about it.

Bloodborne, absolutely. Probably nothing else to be honest. This gen was great, but it was also the gen of good games but not great games in my opinion. Most of the games people loved this gen like BOTW, Hollow Knight, Nier:A, Persona 5 etc. I found to be extremely mediocre or just bad in general.

Breath of the Wild
Celeste
Hollow Knight
Stardew Valley

Those four are for sure in. The only other "protected" games or ones that won't ever be unseated are FF6, Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, and Resident Evil 4.

I'd say at least half, honestly. Bloodborne, Persona 5, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Spider-Man, Ghost of Tsushima, Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry 5, and Metal Gear Solid V are all competing for spots on that list. That's just off the top of my head. Last generation was the best generation that wasn't the PS2 generation.

Last of Us Part 2 and God of War 2018 are the only two that come to mind. TLOU2 is probably my no. 1 game tbh or close to it, unforgettable experience.

Probably yea. Off top of my head there's BOTW, BloodBorne and Pathologic 2.

I don't really think of it in terms of top 10 tho, there's a bunch of games like those ones which stand almost shoulder to shoulder with each other. Really can't pick a 'best' game out of a lot of them

Ori 1 and BOTW for sure

Loved Destiny, Ori 2, and RDR2 but that Top 10 list is too crowded.

Not that I can think of. My favorite three games from last gen though were Divinity: OS2, Hollow Knight and Nioh. All from the same year too. If any of them would hit my top ten, it would be one of those.

Crusader Kings 2 is the easy one. Technically the game came out before last gen started, but the game as it stands now is not the same game at launch so I am counting it.

After that it gets to the maybe category. Age of Decadence, Oxygen Not Included, Star Traders: Frontiers, Divinity: OS2, and Wasteland 3 all fall into maybe.

There are also a few games like Disco Elysium I need to finish that might change things.
