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).
It has to be either Elden Ring or Baldur’s Gate 3.
Gollum for sure.
Upvote because obviously this isn’t sarcasm, but actually for reals.
Also up vote because obviously the only correct answer. It was based on golden source material. Therefore could not fail.
balatro. its kind of flawless.
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
Disco Elysium
I acknowledge that it was well received, but it was from 2019.
My bad !
Why would you put a space before the exclamation mark? I see a lot of people do it.
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.
Satisfactory
1.0 just came out and now I’m getting blindsided by a Factorio DLC? GG my sleep schedule!
4 more hours to wait !
Bg3
does Echoes of the Eye count?
We still have about 6 years to go, but it’s obviously going to be Gollum.
The 2020s are not over. Not even half ways.
Alan Wake 2
STALKER 2
Tears of the Kingdom. I am a huge Zelda fan and I also loved Breath of the Wild
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.)
Bethesda has little chance to succeed with anything but a routine fumble 😞
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
Vampire Survivors
