Alright throwing together some bonus stuff. First comparisons with last years list:

New debuts:

• Metroid Dread (#50)
• Celeste (#41)
• Nier: Automata (#29)
• Undertale (#26)

Games that got cut:

• Mass Effect 2 (#49)
• Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (#48)
• Tales of Xillia (#47)
• Tales of Graces (#46)

Biggest climb:

• Black Mesa (#35 to #8) - Yea, after replaying this and Half-Life 2, I realized they were more or less equal for me. Even put Black Mesa a little higher.

Biggest drops:

• Smash Bros. Melee (#24 to #31)
• Super Smash Bros. for Wii U (#23 to #30)

Then on to a few games I want to shout-out, including some that might not be top 50 material for me, but which I enjoyed a lot in the last year.

Honorable Mentions:

• The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (Was really close to giving it #50)
• Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire
• The Talos Principle
• System Shock 2
• The Witcher 1 & 2
• Batman: Arkham City & Arkham Knight
• Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
• StarCraft
• Portal
• Deltarune (Playing it now, and it's amazing)

Highlights of this last year:

• Hades
• Cyberpunk 2077
• The Last of Us Part II
• Skies of Arcadia: Legends

Yea, guess much of it was me being a year behind. That's a trend that I expect will continue.
