Aside from Galaxy 2 not being in the top 5 This list is pretty solid

Disappointed in number #1 but expected from Era 😒

Kidding, kidding. As a huge Zelda fan, I had a miserable time with BotW and thought it was a disappointment, but I'm genuinely glad that it resonated with so many people. The franchise might just not be for me going forward, and that's fine.

No TWD: S1 in the top 30 is painful, though. You hurt me, Era. You hurt me.

Still wish the votes were weighted, though. I still think BotW would've been number one but the rest of the list would've been completely different, I think.

Best game won.

And it is going to bother me that 2009-2019 is 11 years. Thought this was best game of the 2010s?

Glad to see horizon zero dawn made the list. Forbidden West has such enormous potential to address all of the shortcomings of Zero Dawn as well as build upon it's strengths, so hyped for it.

Yep looks like a list of games people in this forum always talk about
Not my cup of tea but my tastes are pretty different than most, let's say, "hardcore" players

BotW at the top where it belongs. Super happy for Bloodborne, Dark Souls, Nier Automata and Hollow Knight making the top 10 as well!

Impressed that Hollow Knight made it into the top 10, I didn't think you guys had it in you.

Nier Top 10 baby!

Odyssey almost made it to Top 10 too which is also surprising considering how much dislike I read for it on here

The first place was a given, but The Last of Us is the GOAT, great list, nice to see God of War so high and Hollow Knight top 10 is a great surprise.

Definitely deserved to be on the top 10.
Yeah, I'm not surprised though because Era tends to be very (if overly) favorable of BotW and also Bloodborne (which is absolutely one of my top 5 ever games). I prefer Odyssey a lot more than BotW, but this result was to be expected. TLoU is number one in my heart :')

Also, looking forward to trying Hollow Knight thanks to PS+, I've read great things about it.

And I forgot to vote.

I won't forget to vote on November 3rd, though.

How can a 7/10 be #1? At least Bloodborne, Automata and Hollow Knight being in the top 10 shows this forum can be alright sometimes.

That's a really nice list. Still have a couple to play.
No idea how Nintendo will top Zelda.

The fact that Nintendo manages to be publisher of the decade with only one game in the top ten is a real statement on the diversity of the Nintendo audience, but also on the consistent quality of the games published by the company

Bloodborne got ROBBED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not really, it is my #1, but BOTW is fucking amazing too :)

Great picks overall!

How bittersweet...
Nintendo, it's not too late to fix BotW's inverted aiming controls!

Any chance we'll be able to see the complete result list? I always like seeing the lower reaches and how many people came to bat for niche games.

That's not how decades work.
The voting was for 2010-2019. This thread is listing the years wrong.

To be honest, the entire OP looks rushed and isn't really doing a Game of the Decade voting justice. We're voting for the best games of an entire decade with thousands of nominated titles and yet only the top 10 is even worthy of a comment and/or a picture? And only a top 30? Compared to the GotY threads or the Essentials threads this looks rather lacking.
