Your game of the decade?

Hard to pick just one, I can narrow things down a little though:

Persona 5
The Witcher 3
Fallout: New Vegas
Kingdom Come: Deliverance

I love the Persona series, the fifth game is 95% of the reason I still own a Playstation. It improved upon every aspect of the prior games and tied it all together into over 100 hours worth of playtime for your first playthrough, you're talking hundreds of hours in total to see and do everything that there is to offer. The style, music, gameplay, and story all make it the pinnacle of the JRPG as far as I'm concerned.

The Witcher 3 delivered in all the ways that matter, I was finally playing an open world game that felt like a real living and breathing world, one which was stunning without my having to spend countless hours of my life modding and tweaking. Something I never got from the likes of Skyrim, and better yet it offered an interesting story and plenty of subplots to keep things moving along.

Fallout: New Vegas is to my mind the ultimate Fallout game post the original series, flawed in many ways but a masterpiece despite those flaws. The world was a little bland, but the wealth of things to do and storylines to follow, the different ways you could build your character that had an actual impact on the world. The interactions with the various factions and how they effected the world at large. Even looking at the DLC, the likes of Dead Money was enthralling while offering a level of tension you just didn't get from the other parts of the game. A very easy title to return too, especially once you get into modding things.

Kingdom Come was a breath of fresh air in many respects, a beautiful game with plenty of humour and things to do, but a little more grounded in reality compared to most games of its type. The combat was punishing if you tried to rush in like a super hero, taking on a camp of bandits requires strategy, although one should never underestimate a mounted archer! Playing an RPG that tried to be more true to life was definitely an experience I'd like to see repeated, as much simulation as RPG and it gave a very interesting dynamic. Another game that felt more like a natural, living and breathing world.

Hmm, two people going for Bioshock Infinite. That game didn't work for me as much as Bioshock 1 + 2. What is it you guys like about it?
 
Elite Dangerous.

Best game for me by far, and yet despite that still so many areas it could be improved.

Honourable mention for Borderlands 2, Assetto Corsa, Gears of war 2

I've tried to think on this but I just cant manage to cut an entire decade down to just one title. There are just far too many unbelievably good titles for me to pick one.

I have though seen many of my top choices already mentioned in this thread, Alien Isolation, RDR2, Witcher 3, AC Origins, AC Odyssey, Civ 6, Portal 2, to name but a few.

I'd add a few more to that, Battlefield 3/4, Civ 5, Divinity Original Sin 2, Oxygen not Included, Subnautica and countless dozens of others from the last 10 years. Looking back, its been a good 10 years of gaming, even though it has sadly seen the near demise of my favourite genre (highlighted by there not being a single one named yet in this thread), the MMO.

Not that I've chosen it, but I remember being fully taken into the world and upon the end of the game I felt myself welling up a couple of times. Only played it once but absolutely lvoed the story.



My favourite was probably Skyrim or Fallout 3. I probably polayed the most of COD MW2 though but that was more of an obsession :p

I really enjoyed the story on Infinite on my first play through....but I went back and started playing it again a while back and just found the whole thing jarring and odd. I think of it's time it was great but in terms of character and narrative driven games, The Last Of Us is in a whole different league.
 
I will be the person that says Fortnite.
Honorable mention for God of War - PS4

And you know what, I'm going to throw Beat Sabre in as well. The most fun you can have with your clothes on? Quite possibly.
