Games of the Decade

Eurogamer's doing a series of their games of the decade.

But what's YOURS?

Is it the game you had best bezzie funtimes on?

Is it the most memorable experience?

Is it the MOST ADDICTING?

For me, it's probably:

XCOM - bought on a zillion formats and has kept me sane on my hundreds of hours of commutes
OR
Bayonetta - exhilarating from beginning to end.

But that list makes me realise I've really not done that much fulsome gaming in the last ten years. The odd finished game here and there, but nothing much I've sunk my teeth into.

Based purely on the time I've sunk into them, The Binding of Isaac (and its remake/DLC) would have to be in there for me and Rocket League. I don't feel I've played as varied a set of games as I would have previously - I'll dip into stuff and then immediately forget them and go back to playing my usual ones. I'm into quick-fix replayable games, so those two spring readily to mind.

I think the Mass Effect Series and Skyrim, would be on my list. As they are the only ones I have finished.

Xcom I keep going back to, i should see if there is a version on the ipad.

Grim... · **Posted:** Tue Nov 26, 2019 12:17

I think it might have to be Factorio.

Factorio or Doom.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Tue Nov 26, 2019 12:42

Off the top of my head:
Resident Evil 7 PSVR
Fallout 3
Bayonetta
Dark Souls
DarkSouls 2
Dark Souls 3
Bloodbourne
GTA5
Skyrim

Oh and now I've had time to think
THE LAST OF US !!!
WITCHER 3

Need to think about the others... (Seen Dimrils list now, updated!)

Dimrill · **Posted:** Tue Nov 26, 2019 12:46

Bayonetta was last decade, surely. October 2009.

Japan and some other gaffs but.... "...later released in other regions in 2010: January 5 in North America, January 7 in Australia, and January 8 in Europe."

As frustrating as Dark Souls was, it says a lot that I'm tempted to buy the remaster in the Black Friday sale and play through it all over again. I should probably include this in my games of the decade too.

Warhead · Noob as of 6/8/10

Uno. I can't stop playing it because my grand kids won't let me.

The Last Guardian?!

Brilliant but massively flawed IMHO

Da5e · **Posted:** Tue Nov 26, 2019 14:50

Mine's probably NieR: Automata. Had as much of an emotional impact as Neon Genesis Evangelion for me, that did.

Thumper would be up there too, for different reasons. And iRacing.

edit: Ooo! Bloodborne.

Automata was an amazing experience.

No Limbo?

Limbo’s a bit redundant when you’ve got an INSIDE in your list.

And The Last Guardian was a monumental narrative experience and goddamn it was beautiful despite the technical shortcomings.

GazChap · **Posted:** Tue Nov 26, 2019 15:46

Stardew Valley and Baba Is You have to be up there for me.

Rocket League
Kerbal Space Program

Super Mario Odyssey
Zelda BOTW
Sea of Thieves
GTAV
Kid Icarus Uprising

I'm sure I'll think of more....

So you don’t think Limbo is one of the best games this decade? Understood.

Curiosity · **Posted:** Tue Nov 26, 2019 18:31

Xcom
Beat Saber
Titanfall 2
GTA V
Killing Floor 2

Maybe the new Modern Warfare... it’s probably the best CoD iteration in a while. I shall think more on it.

Rocket League.. reallydefinedthis generation for me.. multiplayer clicking.. a future sport working for me.. true skill to admire..

Mario Odyssey.. really completely captured me for a month exploring everything, taking with me whereven i went

Fortnite... for the effect it had on my kids..

really struggling to find a game for 2010-2014 on the xbox 360 that really grabbed me (the high point of Xbla being 2008-2009)..

Resident Evil 4, the official Beex best game ever, was definitely released this decade. On something. The Switch.

By that logic I could have Burnout Paradise on the list.

Why not? Doom as well.
