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).

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

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

    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.

    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.

    Elder Scrolls 6 will no doubt be polarizing, with some calling it the game of the decade, and others saying that the TES formula just doesn’t work anymore. (The game might also just suck.)

      I think the problem won’t be the formula, it’ll be the progressive dumbing down and simplification that Beth is doing since like forever. It will sell well just because it’s TES, though. Also, if Emil “lol who cares about lore” Pagliarulo is leading the writing and he treats it like he did with FO4…

    Disco Elysium. I mean it came out in 2019. But it still counts
