2017, though 2020 can maybe overtake it since I haven't played FF7 Remake or Ghost of Tsushima yet and I already consider 2020 the second best year of gaming. 2023 is another candidate but I haven't quite played enough games for the year to rank it yet. My top 10 years:
- 2017 (DDLC, BotW, Odyssey, Automata, Samus Returns, Horizon, Dragon Quest XI, Hollow Knight)
- 2020 (Black Mesa, OMORI, Will of the Wisps, Doom Eternal, Hades, Last of Us Part II, Cyberpunk 2077)
- 2018 (SSBU, God of War, Celeste, Marvel's Spider-Man, Deltarune Chapter 1)
- 2013 (The Stanley Parable, The Last of Us, Revengeance, Bioshock Infinite, GTA V)
- 2011 (Portal 2, Skyrim, Skyward Sword, The Witcher 2, Tales of Xillia)
- 2012 (Diablo III, Xillia 2, Borderlands 2, Virtue's Last Reward)
- 2004 (Half-Life 2, World of Warcraft, Twin Snakes, Snake Eater)
- 2008 (Vesperia, Brawl, Persona 4)
- 2015 (The Witcher 3, Undertale, The Beginner's Guide)
- 1998 (Half-Life, Ocarina of Time, StarCraft)
