What are your "10/10's" this gen (if any)?

God Of War
Witcher 3
Overwatch
Bloodborne
Rainbow Six Siege
Maybe it isn't really fair to rate both Overwatch and R6 as they're strictly multiplayer games only but these 2 games did gave me tons of fun. Unfortunately for some reasons I don't play Overwatch anymore but am still playing R6 on a weekly basis.
As for GOW, Witcher 3 and Bloodborne: These 3 games are perfect in gameplay and story. Not so much of a story for Bloodborne but the gameplay and atmosphere makes up the lack of story, furthermore it's probably one of the only few games where by fighting a boss would make me have an adrenaline rush which is so god damn exciting.
Would personally call these games my Games of the Generation. Not to mention there's still a few GotG quality games that's not released yet like The Last of Us 2. Exciting times for a gamer!

Yeah it's fantastic and has an insane amount of content, I had an idea that I should 100% it before FH4 comes out but quickly ended those plans when I saw the achievements list and saw how much there was left to do :P It's on my top 10 best game of all time list. FH4 has seriously big shoes to fill.
God of War
Breath of the Wild
Witcher 3
Shadow of the colossus (but I guess this doesn't count)
Nioh

The Witness: a masterpiece in game design. I wish I could erase everything I know about this game and restart from scratch. In my top 5 for best games of all time.
INSIDE: Inside is an exercise in restraint. There are mechanics that other games would milk 20 puzzles out of, but Playdead moves on after a few. It shows how needlessly padded and stretched out other games are. The result is a perfectly paced game that can and should be finished in one sitting.
The Last Guardian: The hours of buildup lead to a finale that is just unforgettable and deeply moving. My favorite video game ending since The Last of Us.
Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze: one of the best 2D platformers with an amazing soundtrack.
Hollow Knight: about the size of 3 metroidvanias, but surprisingly the adventure never gets stale or repetitive.
Undertale: just a very smart take on rpg conventions with memorable characters and soundtrack.
This guy gets it.
You too.

Shadow of the Colossus should count. Remake controls much better than the original and the new visuals are giving a new kind of art direction to the game so it's preety much a new experience.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (Game of the Generation) .......... 10
The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine (RPG of the year) ............. 9.8
Bloodborne ........................................................................... 9.5
God of War ............................................................................ 9.4

Perfect video games doesn't exist but here are my favorite games this gen (in order) :
Octopath Traveler
The Legend of Zelda : Breath of the Wild
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Persona 5
Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze
Mario + Rabbids : Kingdom Battle
Out of these, I think Octopath, Zelda BotW and DKCTF are the 3 that would deserve a 10/10 more objectively.

Personally, Pubg and bloodborne. This gen has largely disappointed. Either games are so big to the point its nauseating, ala witcher 3 or they're so linear all rng is gone. Last gen was brilliant, this gen has been largely disappointing besides a game or two. Stop imitating movies and make GAMES.
FFXV and Resident Evil HD Remaster (new control scheme was a huge addition to the original REmake). Also, now that NieR has stopped crashing on me and I can actually make some progress post-Route A, it's working its way into the conversation. Monster Hunter: World is making a case for itself by being, ironically enough, the true successor to Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker.
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is right there, probably like a 9.9 for me. Playing through it is like living out a childhood dream. There are a ton of things that can be improved upon in Xenoverse 3, but given how well they're supporting XV2, that may be a ways off, and while it is, I'll continue to have a blast with the second entry in the overwhelmingly-successful Xenoverse series.
Bloodborne and MGSV are games I hold in high regard, but miss the mark. Not a fan of the boss designs in Bloodborne, by and large. Very fun game to play, though. MGSV is a game I respect more as time passes, and new revelations are discovered regarding story details, but it's also a game I see as something of a missed opportunity whenever portions of original gameplay ideas show up in the form of fan mods.

Closest for me is BotW.
Didn't realize how good it was until i played more recent games. Also was great to see how everyone else was playing this entry. Completely different experience.
It put everything into perspective for me.
The freedom of choice is why I really appreciate BotW, everything else compliments it

After thinking a bit about the game, I have to say that The Witcher 3 is also a 10/10. It's my GOTG together with Bloodborne. I'm currently playing BOTW and I'm loving it. It's a potential 10.
Subnautica
Witcher 3
God of War
Horizon
Yakuza 0
9.9/10:
Nier Automata (a tad boring on the eyes, repetitive and boring side quests but what a ride...)
Bloodborne, incredible experience probably my best this gen but held back by a few questionable game design choices and very weird pacing and level design and difficulty spikes in the first hours (corrected in Dark Souls 3)
Persona 5 insane game but drags on for too long with far too long and conculted late dungeons and shitty rushed pacing by the last portion.

Only 10/10 for me so far is Titanfall 1, I never had so much fun in a multiplayer game and the maps were all flawless.
I guess the next 10 will be Red Dead 2, the first one was an easy 10 for me already.
I got a few 9.5 games though: Ori, Bloodborne, God of War, Uncharted 4, Cuphead and MGSV.

BotW.
Or is it next gen?
Also Dead Cells, yeah.
Bloodborne is a piece of shit. And yes, I have finished Demons Souls, so not an amateur here.
PS: God of War (great but could have shown more instead of milking through DLCs), Uncharted 4 (more of the same with epic boss Battle) Titanfall 2 (cliche plot with mind bending time travel), Doom (I hate alien demons and I hated not having PC graphics with a standard PS4) and Super Mario Odissey are 9.5 for me.
No other Mario will beat Galaxy.
And totally agree its been a weak gen.

Witcher 3 + DLCs, without a doubt.
And yes, the gameplay is great too. I'm f***ing tired of this loud minority which keeps saying that Witcher 3's gameplay is "shitty" or "awful" (another one of these threads has just cropped up). I get it, nothing can be to everyone's liking, but saying that W3's gameplay is "objectively bad" and that it "just gets a pass" is completely stupid, in my opinion. I guess that most of these people either for some reason expected Witcher 3 to play exactly like Soulsborne games and when it didn't were extremely disappointed, or just didn't try to play Witcher 3 on higher difficulty settings using the whole available range of abilities.
Sorry, had to vent off my frustration with these people.

It's been a weak gen. Lots of hype followed by an inevitable let down for almost all big games.
Assuming we're considering 3DS and Wii U part of this gen, I'd say Picross 3D Round 2 and Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze are the only more or less perfect games. Honorable mention to Bravely series, Hitman and Yakuza 0. I dunno. Every game disappoints these days.

Hellblade and God of War. Those are the only two games I'd say earned a true, unequivocal 10 this gen.
The Witness is 10/10 for its exhilarating secrets, challenging puzzles and beautiful world that unify into a wonderfully-designed whole.
Didnt play it but would say the only con is its douche developer.
Cant forget him trying to mock Breath of the Wild in its launch.
Horizon was a perfect game to me. Animations can be rough, and the combat certainly requires some adaptation, seeing as you're supposed to act as a hunter! Using the entire arsenal makes for a great experience - some still argue it's sloppy, but they usually question the effeciency of the melee aspect of combat, so I refuse to take their critique to ear haha.
The premise of the story was interesting, the world was damn original, and it set everything up for a larger universe and a more importantly: a sequel.
Loved it!
For me, it would have to be Bloodborne, Nier: Automata and Breath of the Wild.
Bloodborne to me just had unparalleled atmosphere and I loved the faster take on the Souls gameplay. Also, I'm just a huge fan of Lovecraftian cosmic horror.
Nier: Automata was my first Yoko Taro game. I knew that it meant the game was going to be out there but there are few stories in gaming that resonated with me on such an intimate level. Mix that with some Platinum games combat and you essentially have a near perfect gaming experience in my eyes.
For Breath if the Wild, I've always been a big Zelda fan since I was a kid. I remember the first time playing A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask for the first time. There was a 'magic' to each of those games that I never thought I'd experience again, even in future Zelda games but man, did Breath of the Wild catch me off guard. The sense of wonderment that I felt coming over each of the rollling hills and mountains was something else. The dungeons weren't that strong, and the stories of the Champions were somewhat interesting if relatively unexplored, but god damn it if that game didn't enrapture me with its constantly interesting open world and gameplay systems. Alongside other games that have been mentioned like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, I believe that Breath of the Wild is one of the most important and significant video games released in the past ten years.

I'm not in the habit of scoring games but when I think of the games I played and finished but kept playing them or replaying them - The Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn, Persona 5, Dishonored 2, Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+, Civilization 6 Rise and Fall. Nier Automata gets in too but I had no save game left to keep playing but I'll replay that game in the future. Probably blanking on some others.
Witcher 3, Breath of the Wild, Hollow Knight, Celeste.
On the fence about Bloodborne, Mario Odyssey and God of War being personal 10s. I really enjoyed them all, but I'm not sure if they had the same effect on me as the other 4 games. They are maybe like 9.7s lol
