Breath of the Wild and Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze

One (or more) of Katana Zero, Super Mario Odyssey, and Streets of Rage 4 might squeeze in upon further deliberation.

If "last gen" means: Wii U, 3DS, PS4, XB1, then Kid Icarus Uprising probably makes it in for sure.

The Last of Us 2, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Uncharted 4 all ended up in my top 10 (prob top 5 as well).

Sea of Thieves for sure - probably top 3/5 for me. Probably would add Battlefield 1 and Titanfall.

Very few games have made some lasting memories like Sea of Thieves has. Really up there with Tribes/Tribes 2 for me in terms of that but for different reasons.

Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Astral Chain, Doom and A Link between Worlds. Half of my top ten from this gen.

Return of the Obra Dinn or BOTW are high up and maybe have a chance for Top 10.

Doom Eternal, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, and maybe BOTW. The latter is definitely a borderline case.

Bloodborne and probably God of War too

On a side note, Jill from RE3R and Ellie from TLOU2 are probably in my top 10 video game characters now

Rocket League & Bloodborne for sure. There might be more that I haven't considered but those two are definitely deserving.

If any probably Persona 5 and Nier Automata, but I don't have a top 10 list to begin with.

Bloodborne absolutely, maybe Final Fantasy XIV if that counts. Other strong contenders are Soulcalibur VI and Rainbow Six Siege.

The Witcher 3, for certain. Top 5, even.
For Honor as well, my most played game of all time. Total Warhammer II, probably - it reinvigorated my love of the Total War series and ended up becoming my most played title in the franchise.

Bloodborne, possibly. It and Dark Souls III are basically tied neck-and-neck in my book, I'm not sure if there would be enough room in the top 10.

Definitely BOTW. Maybe Overwatch, I know it's not really in the public sphere as much nowadays but that game still makes me want to play it, four years later. I still haven't played Bloodborne (or any Souls game really) but I am more understanding of the "git gud" mentality now and want to get to it. Honestly, last gen I really got into multiplayer experiences (Smash 4, Overwatch, Gears 4, Destiny, etc.) so I missed a lot of the big ones that I'm slowly circling back to now.

No probably has with my age to do but one close:

MGSV - if act 2 would have been like act 1, or just a finished game

Did not play many games though

The Witcher 3 is easily top five for me.

GOW, TLOU2, RDR2 and some others are really, really high up there but I'm not sure if enough to knock others out of my 'top 10'.

God of War #1 GOAT
Rocket League
The Witness


TLOU2 might just edge into the top 10 as well.

Yes. Bloodborne. Life-changing game for me and got me into the Souls series. From there I've played almost everything including the FromSoftware titles as well as the excellent indies.

Other than that I'd put Celeste, Destiny 2, and FFXIV (if that counts?) in my top 20 at least, but not sure if they'd edge into my top 10.

BoTW, God of War, RD2, and possibly Sekiro.

BoTW might be the best game I've ever played topping Mario 3 and Galaxy.

GoW and RD2 were masterpieces.

God of War and The Witcher 3.
Also Factorio, but not sure I would classify it as "last Gen" considering it is PC only, but was released during that time.

Era, what kind of game do you think it would take to dethrone your top game?

Every time a thread like this pops up, I am reminded that I don't keep an all-time top 10 list.

I wonder if I could even fabricate one with some deep thinking.

None for me, but admittedly my top 10's pretty tough to crack.

Closest candidates were Witcher 3 and Personal 5 Royal (I have them slotted in at 22 and 23, respectively).

I don't think so. Maybe Red Dead Redemption 2.

No shade towards last gen though, it was amazing overall.
