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).
Immortality is a very special game. It pushes the cinematic narratity further than I’ve ever seen.
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.
I hope Brok The Investigator becomes more recognized to the point it can make one of those silly lists.
Alan Wake 2
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.
Bg3
does Echoes of the Eye count?
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.
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 !
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.
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 !
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 😞
STALKER 2
Might have the dates off - subnautica should be up there.
2018
well subnautica 2 was just announced
True but they didn’t say 2 in the above comment and with 2 years off, it’s easy to not realise the first wasn’t released in the 2020s without checking.
