I picked NieR: Automata for #36 as well. I not only enjoyed the general twists and turns of the storyline, but in particular the ending (the last one), which brings into question why we go about living, and for that matter (in my interpretation anyway) why we play games like this and where redeeming value can be found. Those who have completed that part of the game a certain way know the developer's simple yet needed and clearly heartfelt answer.
It's for similar thematic reasons that I also recently put Out of This World (a.k.a. Another World for our non-American gamers) on my list. In point of fact, the further along on my list we go, the more you'll sense this same kind of thematic pattern emerge, especially as we close in on the top 10 picks. Guess you might say that my attachment to the theme of companionship (when delivered in a heartfelt manner anyway) says something about what my personal needs are in life.
