    Would agree with a lot of these games being great, apart from Minecraft and Gone Home. No Witcher 3? Each to their own!
    Too much work, not enough games

    Trollers gonna troll. Assassin's creed revelations and gone home ? No way. Gone home is nowhere near as good as Edith Finch in my opinion.

    Minecraft is a game I forgot about putting in my list. I think it's just because I believe it released on PC in 2009? Either way, amazing game! One of the only games I consistently went back to after getting all of the achievements on Xbox 360 and then the Xbox One edition.

    Of course, my game of the decade has to go to non other than Sunset Overdrive, one of the most unique games to come out in an AAA generation full of re-skins and remakes. I haven't played a game quite as fun as this one in a long time.

    Witcher 3 is my decade pick for sure. But I'm happy to see New Vegas on here!

    ugh AC: Revelations. Now that's a game I never want to play again. Definitely my least favourite of the series.

    Your explanation for your choices makes it difficult to disagree with them.

    Very well written. I shall keep an eye out for your posts from now on.

    Nothing wrong with that though eh? Nice to see someone else hasn't played Witcher 3 as well.

    Interesting to see Gone Home anywhere close to a top 10, I thought it was ok. I like Opinion pieces as they help you see the world from someone else's perspective... Or is that just because I'm happy you but New Vegas and Mass Effect 2 on there? One of the two.

    I mean to each their own but having redone the Ezio Trilogy recently, Revelations is the best of the 3. It's greatest sin is that it was a victim of being a yearly release. You could feel some of the fatigue at the time.

    For my money, Assassin's Creed 3 is the worst. Colonial America is a cool time period but man there's nothing to climb. Climbing is a core part of the series in my opinion.

    No Gears 3 to be found, list automatically disregarded.

    Absolutely hated Gone Home, was surprised to see that here. Minecraft is easily my game of the decade. You don't often see a game stay on the top of the gaming world for an entire decade. Not to mention it's a hell of a lot of fun
    If at first you don't succeed, lag switch.

    Good read, I like how the list is personal and doesn’t necessarily have the predictable titles in there. I wrote a blog of my top 10 late last year and similarly I expect many would disagree with my picks, but hey that’s what makes these lists personal!

    Never understood the excessive love for New Vegas, this game was always just good for me, not even GOTY-material.
  • Posted on 14 January 20 at 17:27
    I think only one of these would make my list but that’s why I find stuff like this interesting. Good stuff, Sam!

    Nice article, and good list - until we get to the top 3.
    It also isn't fair that we could only pick 5 😂

    Mass Effect 2 is an absolute masterpiece, it's really sad Bioware is totally lost now.
