i will agree about Mario Oddysee or Zelda to be up there but Mass Effect 2 ? RDR 2 ? no way, Skyrim and Bioshock ? wtf ........all these are at best 8/10 games for me (skyrime bioshock are 6-5/10 games ) ....though i would nt say that God of war or Lat of Us deserved that much praise .....imo Last Guardian , Bloodborne and recently MHWorld should have been at the top from PS side and i would dare to add Death Stranding for its originality and boldness to show smthg compeltely different but yet very qualitesque

CaptainHenry9161626d ago

I loved Zelda and Bloodborne. Two of my favorite games this gen

Ricegum1626d ago

Bioshock is an incredible game, I would certainly put it above Zelda & Mario. Completely disagree there.

livinunicorns1625d ago

It is an incredible game indeed and one of my all time favorites. The list reflects the ratings on Metacritic however, and for whatever reasons, certain games garnered higher aggregated scores at the time they were put on Metacritic. The list also positions earlier rated games higher than other games that have the same score. It's not which one they consider better, it's which one was rated first.

mandingo1625d ago

Agree. Bioshock is amazing

Spikeantestor1625d ago

Just to be clear, the one on this list is Bioshock Infinite. The original came out in 07 if you can believe it!
Also, no shade on Infinite, I really loved that game.

Most don't know how to review a game anyway. These so called journalists don't know what a honeys review really is when you have big publishers funding these gaming sites with advertisement money

LMosche1626d ago

Nintendo games get an insane nostalgia boost. Jesus, there's no way Mario Odyssey is better than Bloodborne lmao.

Ricegum1626d ago

Darth

People play Bloodborne because it's not fun?

You've lost me.

King_Noctis1626d ago

@ricegum

Who say Bloodborne is not fun? But maybe Mario Odyssey is more fun and cater to a more casual audience?

deafdani1625d ago

Apples and oranges much? Both games are amazing within their own categories, comparing one to the other is absurd.

Having said that, yes, I agree that Bloodborne is one of the best games of this decade. It's actually my favorite game of this generation, along with Paladins (yeah yeah weird I know).

Oh look naruga showing off his inability to see that other people enjoy games differently than he does.

phoenixwing1625d ago (Edited 1625d ago )

god of war and last of us are way better than zelda and mario. Also as a zelda fan botw isn't much of a zelda game mainly because the dungeons are so terrible and don't even get me started on weapon durability.

Edit: I'd also like to add that maybe if you're a kid the games from nintendo seem great but when you're an adult who wants a story/experience on top of your games then sony wins hands down.

livinunicorns1625d ago

Bioshock was incredible. Without question one of the best games of the decade.

chiefJohn1171625d ago

Boy you crazy RDR2 should be #1

livinunicorns1625d ago

It's only placed below because it was rated and placed on the list after the other games with the same score. The ones that were rated earlier are higher on the list despite having the same score.

Xaywhat1625d ago

Mass effect 2 was pinnacle! What you smoking

Lore1625d ago

When I began to read your initial sentences I thought you were being sarcastic. And then I sort of cringed and moved on

CaitSith1625d ago

You oddysee these nuts!

Seriously though, that's just your opinion.

Redemption-641625d ago

I will take ME2 any day over Mario and Zelda any day

Seeing Zelda and Mario on top got a lot of lowkey Nintendo fanboys rating their game. No way Zelda botw is better than the Witcher 3 and god of war 2018

NecrumOddBoy1625d ago

BOTW is very overrated, but look, the most hated Zelda game "Skyward Sword" is also on this list, so... 🤷🏽‍♂️

Masterchief_thegoat1625d ago

Zelda Botw is not overrated. I just don’t think is better than the games I mention. I still believe horizon of dawn was robbed of a lot of game of the year. Due to Nintendo having critics fanboys. The game of the decade
No order
God of Warriors 2018
The Witcher 3
The last of us
Bloodborne
Dark souls

Old McGroin1625d ago

@ Masterchief_thegoat

Uh huh. And if the games you mention were rated ahead of Nintendo's games that would make the reviewers Sony fanboys then? The likes of Zelda and Mario get rated so highly time after time because they are fantastic gameplay experiences, simple.

King_Noctis1625d ago

Well that is certainly your opinion, and quite frankly if everyone were to share that opinion then God Of War 2018 would be the best game ever made.

Bruh1625d ago

@Tiq

Remember nothing is good for gaming besides Sony. Nintendo and Microsoft are both in it to rip gamers off, while Sony is here to pay off your student loans and help buy you a house.

The Wood1625d ago (Edited 1625d ago )

No no no. . Sony and Nintendo bring games. Ms had the media on their side last gen so my point our industry isn't without bias, paypoffs or impartiality. .

I prefer Sony's games but I couldn't do without the switch so I appreciate both. You cannot deny Sony's impact on the industry in regards to more adult themed gaming though in a shorter time. Each party including Microsoft have brought important things into the industry. Some just do more than others. Nintendo used to do more for me but Sony's have taken than mantle since the ps2/3

Dragonscale1625d ago

Witcher 3 is the most overrated game this gen.

meganick1625d ago

Mario Galaxy 2 is the best 3D Mario game ever made.

Xaywhat1625d ago

I would agree. They are all great in their own right but yes, Galaxy 2 was unforgettable

The Bridge Curse 2: The Extrication Review - Cinematically Haunting - Games Horizon

The Bridge Curse 2: The Extrication was incredibly scary, and would be considered a cinematic horror because of how well everything is done visually. There are many faults with it, but at least it's very scary.

I wish Nintendo would release a real console like it use to do before it went down gimmick road and never found its way back. I remember when Nintendo lead the way in performance and fun. I feel like the game cube was its last true powerhouse console that directly competed with Sony and Xbox. Miss those days.

Makersbreath25h ago

I hear you but to be frank, they can’t compete on that level. They’re see as the kiddy console for better or worse. And that means they have to cost it out significantly cheaper than the competition and that leads to a console that isn’t as powerful.
Their gimmicks work for them. And let’s not forget, one man’s gimmick is another man’s innovation.
Xbox has proven that you can’t out PlayStation Sony, so I’m actually happy Nintendo forged their own path after Sony came along and took so much of their market share and mind share. Although right now they seem really desperate to delay the switch 2 long enough that the current switch can have a chance of beating PS2’s lifetime sales.

Yi-Long4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

At this point, I'd be happy if it's just a gaming console which dedicated focus is on just being a gaming console, so physical media, no accounts needed, no always online needed, no 'services', etc etc.

This industry really needs a reset and go back to basics, which is simply about games.
