The Discussion Thread - The 14th Annual Greatest Games Event

[UnderwaterFunktown]

I'll throw down some bonus stuff now that everything's wrapped up. Even added a couple new categories this time.

New debuts:

• DOOM Eternal (#47)
• Ori and the Will of the Wisps (#37)
• Persona 4 Golden (#31)
• God of War: Ragnarök (#29)
• OMORI (#21)
• The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (#9)

It was an excellent year for new debuts for me, but also a lot of cuts as a result

Games that got cut:

• Super Meat Boy (#48)
• Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (#47)
• DOOM (#46)
• Borderlands 2 (#44)
• Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (#43)
• BioShock Infinite (#38)

Biggest climbs:

• The Talos Principle (#49 to #39)
• Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors (#25 to #22)

Literally the only 2 games that climbed more than 1 or 2 spots. Even just staying in place was an achievement this year.

Biggest drops:

• Super Smash Bros. Melee (#40 to #50)
• Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (#35 to #45)
• Resident Evil 2 Remake (#37 to #46)
• Resident Evil 4 (#32 to #41)
