2019 has come to an end and with it a decade full of great games that made us laugh, cheer, bash our fists on the table in anger and yell obscene stuff in frustration. Today we will be selecting the ten most impactful, awesome, exciting, unique, and most importantly, fun games of the decade (in a random order, because arranging them was waaaay too difficult for us). We’re also excited to hear what your favorite titles from the last decade are. Let us know in the comment section below, or on our Facebook page.

I picked games that I felt like I played the most over the decade as well as games that I thought personally had a huge impact on the gaming universe. Some of the games, for example with PUBG, the game itself started out as a total dumpster fire but I think its effect on the gaming community was what made it a top pick for me. It pulled a lot of people into the ‘battle royale’ frenzy that still continues. Others were masterpieces to me i.e. Breath of the Wild, Witcher 3, Mass Effect 2.

My list is mostly based on hype and the overall gameplay experience. I looked at different genres within gaming to pick my top 10 of the decade. The games I chose are highly regarded games within their release year. They’re mostly replayable and have created many memories for players, especially me. Technology and graphics have improved over the years but we all still reminisce on great games weve played before.

As a Call of Duty-fan I couldn’t help but pick multiple games from that franchise. Black Ops 4, for example, gave the battle royale genre an awesome CoD spin with Blackout. Modern Warfare on the other hand has brought some interesting changes while maintaining the MW feel. Campers, snipers and the expected lobby trash talk of old paired with some innovative ideas like the night time mode, 10v10 team death matches and the tiny 2v2 gunfights, make me feel like I won’t be putting this it down for a long time to come.Besides shooting people in the noggin ( also, sticky grenades to the face are forever pleasing) with CoD and Halo, demons are my “thing” I guess. Everything from MTG to mmorpg. The appeal of darkness is unshakeable. Nothing like a story of possession and masses of undead things. This one has such a place in my heart that I own it for 2 systems.
Lastly, I can’t make a list without at least a few racing games. Gran Tourismo 6, for example, is just car collecting at its best. Also, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010) has a special place in my heart. It’s my first NFS following Most Wanted. It kept me going with car unlocks and customization. While Most Wanted will have my heart, Hot Pursuit still held its own but was disappointing as this felt like a turning point in EA’s monetization of their games.

not one Bloodborne! ?? How can that be?
Good pick! But for me, a sissy boy, Bloodborne was too hardcore. I loved the Bloodborne light fighting elements in the Witcher which is why I picked that one (not to mention basically everything else about that game). Anything else you would’ve picked?
