My Favorite Games of the Decade (2010 - 2019)

Some of my favorite games of the decade (2010-2019). No particular ranked order.

This might be my favorite game ever made. Definitely my favorite Rogue-like, at the very least.
HITMAN finally feels like it's ascending. The recent games are the best the series has ever been, hands down.
It's a bit messy in spots, but this is the most home I've ever felt in a traditional immersive sim, easy.
Absolute love.
Unshockingly, this game is on a best of decade list.
Beautiful. Confusing. Nearly unplayable. I cannot stop thinking about this game.
A game about death and dying in a small village in Scotland.
An American tragedy for the ages.
what a good little friend
My sincere hope is that the future of games is heralded by Disco Elysium
This game is so incredibly slick that it has ruined every other shmup for me.
I have only allowed myself to say this on one of these games, so here it is: THIS GAME FUCKING SLAPS
This game changes every few months so I have no idea what it plays like now, but goddamn is this a good 4X.
I'm not sure how well it's narrative has aged, though it may have said something interesting in 2012, but the gameplay loop of this series is something that just satisfies me on a visceral level just... deep, deep in my gut.
Just scratches an itch, you know?
Super inventive and super clever Metroidvania.
Jeez... what a swell game. Wonderful characters, fantastic art, great music, difficult choices, and you get to play magic basketball.
The game that got me into sokoban.
Everything I could say has probably been said before, so I'll just say that that Heavens to Betsy record is pretty damn good
Queer girls kill god
This is the game that I needed in 2017.
this game is actually flawless
Simply one of the finest traditional Rogue-likes out there. Wonderfully approachable and dynamic.
Everything dies, baby, that's a fact. But maybe everything that dies someday comes back.
its the one where you save dogs
i luv bug lore
I got 100% completion on this game and I refuse to ever play it again. Great game.
A million ways to die in space
Name one other game that talks about Hegelian dialectics and also has Dave Foley pull a Miller's Crossing on you. Also, Chandler is in it and you can murder him
Hot take: this game is better than A Link to the Past.
The best 3D Mario. Debate me.
A good game to listen to hip-hop during
This game isn't "messy"; it's terrifyingly elegant.
i love to place blocks
A really interesting exploration of working class life in a fascinating and beautiful world.
A very good one of those
Sometimes things are popular because they are good
Bennett Foddy is arguably the most important game designer of our generation. I was never able to fini
A really solid Traditional Rogue-like with some interesting mechanical structures in place.
If I was James Bond, I would be dead
its in my bones
I haven't played it in at least a year, but the 6 months I had with it were a blast.
underrated indie gem
