Game Informer's Best Games of The Generation
- Thread starter Nakenorm
- Start date
Exactly, list dismissed. I guess because it also came out on PS3? :p Also where the fuck is Nier. Or PUBG?
God of War is such a slog to play. Like, I feel like I'm literally forcing myself to play it everything I pick it up.
Personally, I would move Witcher out and put Bloodborne in, but I'm not gonna argue with their top 5.
How dare they!? Im so mad at their opinions for being different than my own!!! Arrrgh!
ac syndicate was pretty good tbh. It was slept on for sure when it came out
i felt nothing when i beat god of war

Agree with the Bloodborne placement despite it's worship on Era. Other Souls games did it better first.
Yep. Souls games in general. Though over the past couple years I've seen more and more people try Bloodborne and love it.
Only game I didn't finish in that top tier in BotW. I would replace it for something else in my personal list, but it's hard to argue that it doesn't belong in any of the top lists.
The Last of Us Part II
(PS4)- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
(PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC) - Red Dead Redemption II
(PS4, Xbox One, PC, Stadia) - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
(Switch, Wii U) - God of War
(PS4)
This right here are undeniably the 5 biggest 'best' games of this generation
Great list
Agreed. The obsession with bloodborne definitely isn't met with many people outside of ERA.
I honestly think that list is pretty damn good. Few misses here and there but solid overall. I like it.
Much more. I find TLOU's relationship pretty dark and manipulative personally and the ending hammers that home and the sequel expands on that big time.
God of War is the first game I've played that made the fear a parent has of passing their faults and insecurities down to their child a huge part of the narrative...God of War just dials it up to 11 for obvious reasons.
So many lines in that script are stuff that only a parent that is consumed with love for their child could write:
A: "So you'd let me kill you?"
K: "If it meant you would live...yes"
The music in that game alone moves me.
Isn't it though? Of the library it shares with the other consoles, most of its games are from the PS4/XB1 generation. S to me that puts it in the same generation.
I expect it to have more games shared between the PS4/XB1 than the PS5/XS.
"Do the gods love their creations? I am a doll, created by you humans. Would you ever think to love me? of course... I do love you. Isn't that how you've made me?"
Ctrl + F: into the breach. Nope.
Not my taste, I guess.
Into the Breach and Titanfall 2 are the only games to crack my personal top 10. Everyone should try IthB even if turn based strategy is usually not you jam.

This was my biggest gripe with this list. I thought it was weird that out of all the AC game, he picked Syndicate. Other than that, and the exclusion of DMCV, I think it's a pretty great list.
I also realized: there's no NieR automata?? I only played the demo, but there's not a single person in this world that has played the game and doesn't love it to death.
Oh man, big time. I never liked the God of War series at all, and God of War PS4 was my game of the generation.
No. Not a single person was emotionally moved. Not a single one. Anywhere.
I tried to give it its fair shake twice but the performance kept turning me off. Hopefully 3rd time's the charm on PS5.
Yes.
As a parent and cycle breaker, parts of the game really resonated with me.
Honestly, that's a very good list. Difficult to argue against the Top Tier games or most games in their respective categories.
Really? The sort of mournful tone that God of War begins with felt so unearned. You never have a reason to care about the wife/mother character. The disembodied head that you carry around didn't do anything for me -- and probably actively ruined bonding moments in the game. Some of the little gestures felt so obvious, like when Kratos is thinking about resting his hand on his son's shoulder, but pulls away.
