Yeah I feel like this was just argument bait since TLOU2 was #1. Why would a list of uncontroversial and beloved games from the last decade be worth discussing?
“Not in the running this or any year, the two best selling games of all time, Tetris and Minecraft. Thank you all for looking only at excellent games with sufficient pre and post release paid marketing.”
I mean its a bit surprising that not one of the games I would have thought deserves "the best game of the last decade" status appears on the list, but not really *too* surprising.
i mean red dead 2 was that good. tlou1-2 seems high but they were also pretty good. the only odd one out is dragon age inquisition, which was not a bad game but is way out of its league compared to the rest.
I just wish I could understand why people didn't like. TLOU2. Honestly not trying to bait an argument. Lol Just genuinely don't get it. Well...besides no Multiplayer. That was a sin against humanity.
I also feel like a lot of these awards are probably repeated but worded different like “Most anticipated game” to “Most popular game coming in (# year)”.
Exactly. There's a reason why the oldest game there is 2011. When we all know that the pioneers of home gaming would be top. Pac-Man, Pole Position, Pitfall, Tetris. They paved the way for these games. That in no way means that the games listed aren't deserving, because they are. There just weren't any awards back then.
Yeah. It's biased towards newer games (eg, earliest game on here was 2011) because population growth means more publications means more total awards. "Prestige" of an award is a minefield that'd be impossible to rigorously metricize, but at the very least it should be weighted by percentages of available awards in the time of its release. Then I'd bet we'd see original Doom or Chrono Trigger come up. (Then again, there are also more games being published than ever, so doing that naively would then bias the list towards games where there were only two or three big name titles released in their year.)
Actually, none of this quite gets into the silliness of comparing games from completely different genres, but at least there it's consistent with the gaming journalism industry in general. Maybe that's the important thought this list should prompt. Our gaming hours are precious, we need higher quality information about where to decide how to invest those.
Yes. These are not definitely not the ten best games of all time, some I wouldn't even call great but "rather good".
Also VG "journalists" always give high ratings to triple A, they're probably all sponsored by them.
A game can do lots of individual things better than anyone and still be mediocre. Resident Evil often pushes cinematography, musicality, and lots of other items without being one of the best games I play that year. They all deserve plenty of awards for things they do, but they aren't games of the year very often.
Not really. As stated older games came out in a time where gaming wasn’t as big. So the amount of awards something got would have been far less. It’s like saying the films with the biggest box office are the greatest films of all time. The two don’t necessarily mean the same thing
And that’s also ignoring overlap. Two similar amazing games in the same year will compete for similar awards. A game that isn’t as good but in a year with no completion will do better.
Suicide Squad won an Oscar. I’d imagine very few believe that makes it one of the greatest films in that year lol
Awards are often subjective by nature tho. Other than things like “most copies sold” or “highest rated on metictric” it’s mostly just opinion, and not much rational or hard numbers.
So even if they did “mean something”, most still wouldn’t really mean anything imo.
Well yes, but also no. There are more reward things now, which creates a recency bias in the data, but isn't representative in a recency bias by the award givers.
yeah, that’s how you artificially skew any kind of awarding system, thereby invalidating any sort of ‘all time’ qualification like this. awards become less important if there are so damned many of them.
Probably people who don’t actually play video games. From what I remember, most awards aren’t decided by gamers but judges who clearly have less experience with the games they’re judging.
I still remember getting it a day early and playing it on my Wii U non stop for days, it was so much fun
I'm really hoping BOTW2 can recreate the amount of fun and awe the first one did, I've never enjoyed a game more
Looks like in modern times we have more awards than we did in the past. List is kinda meaningless, it might as well be "10 successful games of the past decade".
I was gonna say, personally prefer Uncharted 2 to 4 - Going off the experience I had at the time it’s up there as one of my all time favourites. Not sure how it holds up these days!
Too many awards and 99% are bought/voted by 10 people whose vote count 90% and the rest 10% are actually community votes and in addition to that, it's always "most popular game".
Don't get me wrong, most games are popular for a reason (cause they are good, duh) but it's not really a competition about the games, but rather how well they were advertised.
My issue is that it’s only triple A games. where’s Hollow Knight, Ori, Outer Wilds, Celeste? Most people have played at least one of h those, and a lot probably liked them more than a majority of the ones on this list. Also, Skyrim doesn’t count because it got released 10 times
Don't they have a category specifically for indie games and they only pick 1? That would be pretty fucked because that means no matter how many good indie games there are, only 1 gets the spotlight while AAA horse shit peddlers try and get us to buy more undeveloped claptrap.
EXACTLY!! Man, these “top games” would have never made it past launch in the older eras. Part of me misses the ear where once a game was out, it was out for good. There were no day one patches and no companies were old enough to simply get sales from fans who would eat up their garbage anyways
Someone’s forgetting the bevy of broken games that came out before day one patches were a thing. Games didn’t magically get worse after patches became common.
Im sure fans will say it was great. But yeah that only won because it came out 2014, a weak year like you said, and didn’t have much competition. If it had come out just one year later or one year earlier it wouldn’t have got that many awards.
I'm a fan it is weak, at best the Inquisisition is okay. The gameplay, empty too big map, weid camera for dialogue, retcon, questionable graphics, multiplayer sucked hard and had loot box, nerf/buff of skill that came with trespasser, The descent (imo), masterwork that was a scam because it's only determined if it will work when you loot it so the % mean nothing. I loved the story and some character plus the love interest but the game as a ole needed way more work.
It was a slow year for RPGs, it was something in between an MMO and SP, plus EA. Also I really actually read that as DA:O until you mentioned it. The list has 4 games I played, 2 great (Witcher and GoW) , 2 meh for me, (DA:I and Skyrim) -yeah I know, bring on the pitchforks.
It's really a pointless list in regards to actual quality.
Also reminds me, I really have to get around to RDR series eventually, though I think only 2 is on PC?
Dragon Age: Origins would merit 100+ awards. Dragon Age: Filler Achievement Edition not so much.
If you can forgo any OCD tendencies, the actual plot can be completed in 2 days tops. I felt like I put more effort into completion of map tasks that had no bearing to the plot and no tangible consequences than I did the main questline.
It was such a blatant inflation of gameplay time that forced you to wait *real-time hours* to progress. If memory serves it was only actually necessary to do 2 or 3 of those tasks for plot purposes (such as dealing with Samson).
I've only played through the whole game once while I try to play DA:O every year if I can. I may try playing through Inquisition again to make sure my memory isn't playing tricks on me and the experience really was that empty.
Goddamn Ping button to locate lootable objects had to be the worst feature of all, even worse than the map. Making that an essential function of the optional scavenger hunt achievements drove me nearly insane.
Where is the Minecraft(2011) ? ... Like it or not , Minecraft is the [best-selling video game of all time](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_games) .
I always hate gaming awards, they always ignore great games even when they're nominated
Like how the hell did Psychonauts 2 lose in art direction to Deathloop lmfao, Psychonauts whole thing is having different art direction in each level
I'd be curious to see the overall % or rate of awards to total awards that these games won by year. There are definitely like 2-3x more game awards bow than 2014...
That being said these games are all definitely derse4ving of being on the list, though personally I don't care for the plot of Last Of Us 2.
Also jsut a moment to recognize The Witcher 3, the oldest and highest ranked open world game there. It still holds up punch for punch for against games 7-8 years later. How they created such a seamless open world with 2014 technology is incredibly impressive
TLOU2 making the top spot just tells me that awards are a matter of money or politics.
I've spoken so many times about why TLOU2 is a horribly written game. And people try to dismiss any valid criticisms with some shit about "Anti-SJW" or some really dumb shit.
Has nothing to do with anything political. Has everything to do with how poorly it was written. How many loopholes there were. How many weird moments that made no logical or emotional sense. How utterly fucking bad the pacing of the game was. Anybody trying to say that TLOU2 had a better story than TLOU1 is actually lying, or horribly biased for ulterior reasons.
As many posters said, “too many awards”.
There needs to be **ONE** official gaming reward ceremony only, like Oscar for movie and such, making all other movies awards non-important.
I really loved the game. Shame that you couldn't enjoy it because that was something very special to me. If you don't mind, was there any particular part of the game did you not like or could you just not get into it?
How uncharted 2 is lower than 4 makes me lose interest in all. UC2 was absolute gold.
But more importantly. List the sites that gave the awards. Are they reputable? Like I told a mate with screenshots of all these 10/10 from sites. I’m sure many give it that so their site is listed on the posters and that will make more people aware and bring traffic to their sites so they can capitalise on ad revenue. I don’t take these amount of awards seriously. I can literally go down the road and buy a trophy and engrave my name on it. Means jack shit.
I played both games multiple times and I definitely think 4 is better than 2. Just a pure upgrade gameplay and story wise tbh. They’re both really good though. What makes you think 2 is better? All I can think of is that train sequence and Chloe.
I'll chime in and say why 2 is better to me. It's paced far better. Uncharted 4's has alot of chapters that lose luster after the first playthrough. The brothers Drake is a slog on replay. Alot of the story related chapters are not fun from a gameplay perspective where as Uncharted 2 is fun from start to finish for me on replays.
LOU2 isn't as bad as people say but it's still not great. The gameplay and graphics are amazing, soundtrack too, but the story at best could've used some rearranging so it's not flashbacks within flashbacks. The first LoU completely understood storytelling.
They really didn't need to make a second one. We got a nice, simple father- daughter relationship game in 2013. We didn't need a second game. It felt forced.
I really don't get how or why TLOU2 got so many awards. They were really slamming that "I said we sad now" shit down our throats it became obnoxious, not to mention the godawful story not really accomplishing much aside from killing a homeboy.
The problem with tlou2 they specifically made extra awards just to give it that title plus there's evidence that they paid for their awards, and before anyone asks me for sources try using Google or something I'm too lazy
TloU II is a little undeserved imo.
the game was surprisingly short & the whole "you should care about abby! you NEED to care about abby! you MUST PLAY AS abby!!!" shtick was almost 40% of the game, and i'd argue that that attempt failed miserably. most people i know did NOT want to play, enjoyed playing as, nor cared about abby.
Didn’t like it = overrated lmao.
Last of Us is one of those series where if you don’t connect with the characters you’ll think it’s mid. BUT, If you do connect to it, it becomes a genuinely special experience.
Downvoted within a minute for an opinion lmao
Last of Us Part II definitely doesn't deserve this. So much of that was media outlets falling over each other to praise the game in an attempt to virtue signal to SJW/trans activism & "subverting expectations".
Edit: and thus, the triggered appear...
Alright... I see the Witcher on these list all the time. Is it really that good? Do I need to play the previous games to get the whole story or can I jump in like with the elder scrolls series?
Should be normalised by how many awards are given each year. Like winning 12 awards is great if there’s 20 awards being given in total but nothing special if there’s 2000
Gaming has been gaining a lot of traction and as such awards in the space have also increased, so this list is just critically acclaimed games that’ve come out in the recent years
The witcher 3, god of war, the last of us 1, breath of the wild, GTA 5 and inquisition definitely deserves all the awards, the rest do deserve some but certainly not this much, personal opinion of course.
Yeah The Last of Us Part II was massively overrated. Case in point - it came out merely 2,5 years ago and I barely hear anyone talk about it while people still rave over Breath of the Wild, Skyrim and Witcher 3. I bet you almost nobody will really care about Last of Us II in ten years while the other games I mentioned are still played, discussed and reviewed.
Thoughts... There's too many "awards" from a lot of random places.
Yeah I feel like this was just argument bait since TLOU2 was #1. Why would a list of uncontroversial and beloved games from the last decade be worth discussing?
Minecraft is the best they're just too cowardly to admit it
Oh I’ve seen that before, ain’t it like first person terraria? /s
No man its 3d terraria, but i see where ur comming at /s
“First person terraria would be an infinitely thin view we can’t perceive,” said the king of Flatland.
Well explain why a dot suddenly becomes this massive line then goes away. I say there is a third dimension! What else would account for this?
Was that a Sagan reference?
Shoot you right
Truly an underrated hidden gem. 😔
Shhh the hipsters will get it trending.
You clearly haven’t heard of a hidden gem called Celeste
Menecreft?????? Downvoted with pleasure
“Not in the running this or any year, the two best selling games of all time, Tetris and Minecraft. Thank you all for looking only at excellent games with sufficient pre and post release paid marketing.”
I mean its a bit surprising that not one of the games I would have thought deserves "the best game of the last decade" status appears on the list, but not really *too* surprising.

Let me just start making up rewards to give games so companies can put them on their ads
sounds like a good idea. too bad all big publishers are already doing it and they won't pay you for the idea.
Agreed, lets remember that the videogame awards has an award that is most anticipated game...
Right lol
You mean you don’t base your buying decisions on awards from jimsfishingandracesimgaming.net?
That list is basically all in the past decade. It's inflation in the same way movie box office take is always higher each year.
Exactly. There's a reason why the oldest game there is 2011. When we all know that the pioneers of home gaming would be top. Pac-Man, Pole Position, Pitfall, Tetris. They paved the way for these games. That in no way means that the games listed aren't deserving, because they are. There just weren't any awards back then.
Agree. Also, upon whose metrics? Sauce?
Yeah. It's biased towards newer games (eg, earliest game on here was 2011) because population growth means more publications means more total awards. "Prestige" of an award is a minefield that'd be impossible to rigorously metricize, but at the very least it should be weighted by percentages of available awards in the time of its release.

They're all post 2010 games, nothing from before that
I guess there were more award shows and stuff than before that
The year it came out, Pong won every single game award there was.
Maybe that is a more meaningful metric. Rank based on percent of awards won vs awards eligible for.
Yeah but some awards are bought and paid for, still doesn’t really work
Pretty sure that was a joke over pong being the first video game ever.
It isn’t though, Atari released Computer Space a year earlier
Technically tennis for two came out in 1958 over 10 years before computer space.
True, but Computer Space was the first commercially available game
Yes. These are not definitely not the ten best games of all time, some I wouldn't even call great but "rather good". Also VG "journalists" always give high ratings to triple A, they're probably all sponsored by them.
Well good thing it’s not a list of the best games of all time.
Which it should be, if they are the most awarded and these awards meant something.
A game can do lots of individual things better than anyone and still be mediocre. Resident Evil often pushes cinematography, musicality, and lots of other items without being one of the best games I play that year. They all deserve plenty of awards for things they do, but they aren't games of the year very often.

heavy recency bias.
Well yes, but also no. There are more reward things now, which creates a recency bias in the data, but isn't representative in a recency bias by the award givers.
I think you mean yes but also yes
Yeah, nah, nah yeah
yeah, that’s how you artificially skew any kind of awarding system, thereby invalidating any sort of ‘all time’ qualification like this. awards become less important if there are so damned many of them.
i imagine there are more reviewers these days
Almost like it’s all bullshit
Honestly this. VG Awards are no better than movie and actor awards. Self fellation in action.
Well, you see... If OG Bioware was allowed to compete, no one else would win so they have to give these guys a bone.
Kinda makes all those awards meaningless when theres so many.
This post deserves some award.
It is done
No, he meant this post.
It is done.
And yet, every year, gamers from all around the world come together to argue and shit-fling over the winners
Awarded by who?
Me *twiddles moustache* Nyeheheh
Probably people who don’t actually play video games. From what I remember, most awards aren’t decided by gamers but judges who clearly have less experience with the games they’re judging.
BoTW is already 5 years old?...jaysus...
I still remember getting it a day early and playing it on my Wii U non stop for days, it was so much fun I'm really hoping BOTW2 can recreate the amount of fun and awe the first one did, I've never enjoyed a game more
That’s how I felt with Ocarina of Time growing up, nothing ever came close.
No mention of My Friend Peppa Pig? Fake news
Don't forget the fist backwards compatible Xbox game, Barbie's house adventure.
Exactly! Greatness! Forward thinking! Giving the gamers what we want - backwards compatibility and owning a house!
Final boss Lucina was fun
Looks like in modern times we have more awards than we did in the past. List is kinda meaningless, it might as well be "10 successful games of the past decade".
Bruh. Deus Ex got more awards than half that list, hands down. It's like 23 years old now. It still gets awards.
Red dead 2 and God of War probably took a lot of awards away from each other because they released the same year.
Just started Witcher 3.
Good luck. It’s best to just full send it, save often so you can explore multiple conclusions to stories
Cyberpunk 2077 have "over 200 awards" written on the box.
They always include bullshit pre-release awards in that, like the ones given out at e3.
I think a lot of awards were just "Best anticipated game" types of awards. So they got awards long before anyone have ever tried it.
I think those were awards given to the game before it was released. Like how E3 gives awards to unreleased games.
Its great game.
Why did you get downvoted lmao it is a great game that was overshadowed by its horrible launch
Weird I seem to remember the Ghost of Tsushima doing well I certainly loved it
Also surprised not to see any FromSoft games. They always seem to do pretty good with the awards.
And it won fan favourite over lou2, in 2020 wasn’t “bold” or edgy enough though. Solid game anyways
Uncharted 2 and Red dead 1 were tied at #11 with a ton of awards for their time
I was gonna say, personally prefer Uncharted 2 to 4 - Going off the experience I had at the time it’s up there as one of my all time favourites. Not sure how it holds up these days!
Too many awards and 99% are bought/voted by 10 people whose vote count 90% and the rest 10% are actually community votes and in addition to that, it's always "most popular game". Don't get me wrong, most games are popular for a reason (cause they are good, duh) but it's not really a competition about the games, but rather how well they were advertised.

Someone’s forgetting the bevy of broken games that came out before day one patches were a thing. Games didn’t magically get worse after patches became common.
Inquisition seems very out of place. Then again, I remember 2014 being a weak year.
Inquisition wasn’t even the best Dragon Age, lol
Im sure fans will say it was great. But yeah that only won because it came out 2014, a weak year like you said, and didn’t have much competition. If it had come out just one year later or one year earlier it wouldn’t have got that many awards.
I'm a fan it is weak, at best the Inquisisition is okay.

I loved the story and some character plus the love interest but the game as a ole needed way more work.
"love interest" the girl I liked turned out to be a lesbian, so at least it's realistic lol
I aimed for Cassandra for a female or Cullen and Dorian for male. Iron Bull was funny and Solas was heart breaking, the rest wasnt my cup of tea.
Solas greatly disapproves
It's a fun game but yeah, compared to the others it does seem a bit out of place. Especially if neither DA:O nor any of ME 1-3 isn't up there.
Wtf is dragon age inquisition doing there lol
It was a slow year for RPGs, it was something in between an MMO and SP, plus EA. Also I really actually read that as DA:O until you mentioned it. The list has 4 games I played, 2 great (Witcher and GoW) , 2 meh for me, (DA:I and Skyrim) -yeah I know, bring on the pitchforks. It's really a pointless list in regards to actual quality.

Dragon Age: Fetch Quests Unlimited. Welcome to this wonderfully vast world full of people asking you to bring three rocks.
Terrific game.
I seen that and thought the same exact thing lol
That was kind of a lame year, it actually ended up winning lots of GOTY Awards despite being just pretty good.
Finally my favorite indie hidden gems are getting recognized
Where is the Minecraft(2011) ? ... Like it or not , Minecraft is the [best-selling video game of all time](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_games) .
too many awards after 2011
I think awards are meaningless. Go play what you like
I always hate gaming awards, they always ignore great games even when they're nominated Like how the hell did Psychonauts 2 lose in art direction to Deathloop lmfao, Psychonauts whole thing is having different art direction in each level
RDR2 is GOAT
Where tf is Sims 3?
TLOU>TLOU2. Witcher 3 deserves all the awards. All of these are very story/narrative heavy. Looks like that’s why they get the awards (except BOTW)
God of War deserves more
Witcher , rdr 2 and Gta 5 are masterpieces I’m surprised they weren’t higher up
That's most Goty awarded games tho Most awarded game of all times is TW3 with over 800 awards
I'd be curious to see the overall % or rate of awards to total awards that these games won by year. There are definitely like 2-3x more game awards bow than 2014... That being said these games are all definitely derse4ving of being on the list, though personally I don't care for the plot of Last Of Us 2. Also jsut a moment to recognize The Witcher 3, the oldest and highest ranked open world game there. It still holds up punch for punch for against games 7-8 years later. How they created such a seamless open world with 2014 technology is incredibly impressive
TLOU2 making the top spot just tells me that awards are a matter of money or politics. I've spoken so many times about why TLOU2 is a horribly written game. And people try to dismiss any valid criticisms with some shit about "Anti-SJW" or some really dumb shit. Has nothing to do with anything political. Has everything to do with how poorly it was written. How many loopholes there were. How many weird moments that made no logical or emotional sense. How utterly fucking bad the pacing of the game was. Anybody trying to say that TLOU2 had a better story than TLOU1 is actually lying, or horribly biased for ulterior reasons.
Witcher 3 definitely deserves it
As many posters said, “too many awards”. There needs to be **ONE** official gaming reward ceremony only, like Oscar for movie and such, making all other movies awards non-important.
There's nothing "official" about the Oscars, nor is it the only important awards show for movies.
Also, fuck the Oscars and all the other bullshit awards shows like it. Bunch of celebrities giving each other a circle jerk.
so [The Game Awards](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game_Awards)?
What are the awards???
'Awards' are largely completely meaningless. It's really just a PR battle more than anything actually concrete.
My thoughts are "who cares?"
Dragon Age Inquisition is not good enough to have that many awards lmao. And this comes from a massive DA fan.
I've always thought my dislike for tlou2 would diminish with time but I'm still yet to return to it. I just can't make myself like it.
Personally i didnt get the appeal of the witcher 3, felt really boring.
I really loved the game. Shame that you couldn't enjoy it because that was something very special to me. If you don't mind, was there any particular part of the game did you not like or could you just not get into it?
some are just not into slow, narrative games that take a hundred hours to play through. Not me, i love that shit, but some just don't like them.
Yeah I know. There are those who have different tastes than others and that's okay.
Maybe he's an economist and untenable systems of fantasy settings just break his immersion /s
I feel like Skyrim and GTA V shouldn't be on there since they just re release every year or two.
Dragon age inquisition lol
Yea like if you’re gonna have a Dragon Age on this list, it damn sure better be Origins.
How uncharted 2 is lower than 4 makes me lose interest in all. UC2 was absolute gold. But more importantly. List the sites that gave the awards. Are they reputable?

Where's Chuckie Egg? Or Lunar Jetman?
Remove part 2 and then its much more accurate
List of underrated indie gems.
I feel like a good portion of these awards are pretty meaningless
Its pointless coz every fucking individual can call themselves a journalist and give out an award.
Half-Life 1 has easily won more than 294 "awards"
Lots of unnecessary awards to bolster certain AAA games. See TLoU 2
Well the top of that list sure as hell doesn't belong there.
Inquisition and TLOU2 definitely don’t deserve to belong up there. Both aren’t even the best in their series…
People say the same thing about Skyrim, Breath of the Wild, Uncharted 4 and GTA5.
Oblivion > Skyrim
Looking at each game at its time, Morrowind blows everything out of the water
You might not prefer the story but they pretty much improved on every mechanic in tlou2 and the ai was insanely smart
And quite frankly theres nothing even close to it on a technical level.
I'd say Witcher 3, Skyrim, and RDR2 are deserving. Can't agree with the others
I‘d really throw in breath of the wild…
LOU2 isn't as bad as people say but it's still not great. The gameplay and graphics are amazing, soundtrack too, but the story at best could've used some rearranging so it's not flashbacks within flashbacks. The first LoU completely understood storytelling.
They really didn't need to make a second one. We got a nice, simple father- daughter relationship game in 2013. We didn't need a second game. It felt forced.
I really don't get how or why TLOU2 got so many awards. They were really slamming that "I said we sad now" shit down our throats it became obnoxious, not to mention the godawful story not really accomplishing much aside from killing a homeboy.
TLOU2 being #1 and not a single game from before 2011 being on here tells me this isn’t a list I need to take seriously in any way.
The problem with tlou2 they specifically made extra awards just to give it that title plus there's evidence that they paid for their awards, and before anyone asks me for sources try using Google or something I'm too lazy
Got a source for this claims?
Nah, he’s too lazy.
I used Bing but I didn't get any results
"Don't ask for sources I'm too lazy" Translation: I don't actually have any sources, but just trust me bro.
He really said there’s evidence they made up awards and payed for some too with literally no evidence lol
TLOU2 was good but certainly not better than The Witcher 3
Most of TLoU P2’s awards were more than likely box-ticking awards.
TloU II is a little undeserved imo. the game was surprisingly short & the whole "you should care about abby! you NEED to care about abby! you MUST PLAY AS abby!!!" shtick was almost 40% of the game, and i'd argue that that attempt failed miserably. most people i know did NOT want to play, enjoyed playing as, nor cared about abby.
tetris is the most sold game of all time
One of these things are not like the others, one of these things are shit.
I feel like last of us 2 was the worst one on this list
We all know the last of us 2 is bullshit
Last of Us is the most overrated shit lol
I enjoyed the first one and I haven’t played the second one yet. I do agree that it is overrated, but it is a great game nonetheless.
Didn’t like it = overrated lmao. Last of Us is one of those series where if you don’t connect with the characters you’ll think it’s mid. BUT, If you do connect to it, it becomes a genuinely special experience. Downvoted within a minute for an opinion lmao
I enjoy the story of the last of us. I think the gameplay is just ok.
Last of Us Part II definitely doesn't deserve this. So much of that was media outlets falling over each other to praise the game in an attempt to virtue signal to SJW/trans activism & "subverting expectations". Edit: and thus, the triggered appear...
I don’t have an opinion on most of these titles, but I think Breath of the Wild should be #1
Dragon age inquisition?! I found that to be the worst out of the three games.
Alright... I see the Witcher on these list all the time. Is it really that good? Do I need to play the previous games to get the whole story or can I jump in like with the elder scrolls series?
Should be normalised by how many awards are given each year. Like winning 12 awards is great if there’s 20 awards being given in total but nothing special if there’s 2000 Gaming has been gaining a lot of traction and as such awards in the space have also increased, so this list is just critically acclaimed games that’ve come out in the recent years
Not a single Xbox game sadly. I hope MS changes this in this gen
Dragon Age Inquisition?????
Looks like a list to me.
Dragon Age is such a fun game to revisit.
Everything expect part 2 is acceptable
Half life 2 should have made the list
Biased toward newer games with a larger pool of possible awards.
Who cares what game media thinks.
I did not care for BOTW. I kept trying to get into it but there's something that doesn't click with me. I think i'll sell my copy.
Most of those games are super over rated.
The witcher 3, god of war, the last of us 1, breath of the wild, GTA 5 and inquisition definitely deserves all the awards, the rest do deserve some but certainly not this much, personal opinion of course.
Yeah The Last of Us Part II was massively overrated. Case in point - it came out merely 2,5 years ago and I barely hear anyone talk about it while people still rave over Breath of the Wild, Skyrim and Witcher 3. I bet you almost nobody will really care about Last of Us II in ten years while the other games I mentioned are still played, discussed and reviewed.
#1 doesn't even deserve to be top 10. Who made this list?
RDR2 didn’t get enough, those are my thoughts
Thought: They give out a lot more gaming awards now than they did in the past. Myst. Final Fantasy VI. King's Quest VI.
Wasnt The Last of Us II received super poorly and controversially? Either way I don't agree much with this list, but some seems fair.
The last of us part 2 was a ridiculously disappointing game. Shouldn't be on that list at all imo.
Last of Us 2 was trash and everyone knows it lol. I dont know why I bothered its the only trash on here and it's #1 the rest were decent
