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).

The 2020s are not over. Not even half ways.

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.

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.

I hope Brok The Investigator becomes more recognized to the point it can make one of those silly lists.

I’ve never even heard of this title.

It’s the 2022 expansion for Outer Wilds, which released in 2019. Just as much a masterpiece as the first entry. if you know nothing, you owe it to yourself to play them.

I tried OW and couldn’t stand feeling dumb. I gave up after not figuring out how to advance in the water world with the vortices. This is the same reason I despise most point-&-click adventures; needing to hunt down and trigger the one event that will advance everything is infuriating and shouldn’t be hard.

that’s a shame. i’m not going to force it on you if you don’t enjoy the experience, but i will say that there are no mechanical progress gates at all in Outer Wilds, no intended order to do things in, and multiple interleaving threads to pull on. if you get stuck in one place, going to another may let you learn how to proceed. if it feels like you’re missing something, you probably are, and going somewhere else may help you find it.
it’s been my game of the year five years running, if that means anything. the dlc only cemented that position even more.

I think either of these will be regarded as works of art, and jump up in rankings :
- Alan Wake
- Disco Elysium

balatro. its kind of flawless.

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.

Stardew Valley came out in 2016.
