According to MetaCritic, Zelda: Breath of the Wild topped “best games of the 2010s” lists, appearing in 1st place in 17 of these lists. In 2030, what game of the 2020s decade will appear on the 1st place in most of these lists? (It should be noted that we are in the middle of the 2020s decade so this may change as new games get released).

    I hope disco elysium and tunic are both in the rankings, because they’re probably two of the most perfectly crafted experiences in the last 20 or 30 years, never mind just 1 decade.

    I think either of these will be regarded as works of art, and jump up in rankings :

    • Alan Wake
    • Disco Elysium

            Oh that’s funny, it’s the second time I get ‘caught’ lol

            It’s a french punctuation rule (I’m francophone), which differs from the usual english one where no space is needed before the exclamation mark. basically if any symbol takes the full line height, we add spaces before and after. It’s fun to figure out if someone is francophone or not by the way they type.

        Also up vote because obviously the only correct answer. It was based on golden source material. Therefore could not fail.

    We’re not even through the first half yet, so it’s pretty impossible to say, I think. BG3 could be in there, but we could also just be blown away by other things unforeseeable from here/now.

      Central Hyrule on horseback in BotW was such an amazing feeling. TotK didn’t ever catch that level of action, but everything else was more fun. Plus it has a lot of QoL changes that helped. Opening chests with full inventory comes to mind. I was upset BG3 beat it for game of the year but the competition was really tough.

    Monster Hunter Rise and Ghost of Tsushima for me! Other than that, there are plenty that I enjoy but most of the wants I full on LOVE are pre-2020 like TitanFall 2, Hyrule Warriors, WarFrame etc. I do live GranBlue Fantasy are link as well but I don’t think that’ll make too many people’s lists, which is a shame because it’s an absolute masterpiece in my eyes. It plays like a 360 era game requiring no online connection, sporting a gorgeous art style and so many campaign moments that made me straight up shout “damn that was awesome”

      I just hate its relentless sudden-death format, which kills you from a single misclick. At least Slay the Spire gave you HP and was far more forgiving.

        As someone who played each demo version, I was really expecting a different pace in the final game. I was surprised to find that the release version was just as feast-or-famine. Most runs only get a few extra cards or extra stamps unless you get jokers that seriously accelerate the rate. I was expecting the game to have more of an RPG curve to it where I would have more time to shift toward a suit and preferred card quantity.

      I love Balatro, but this is definitely recency bias. It’s going to mostly fade from mainstream popularity and acclaim long before then.
