Master Thread, Game of the Year/Decade (New Poll)

[UnderwaterFunktown]

I'll do a little assessment now that the event is all over.

For GOTY winners I've played all of them since 1994. For runners-up it's a bit of a jumble (but around two thirds)

Years I agree most with: 1995, 2004, 2007, 2018

Pretty much my exact ranking for those years.

Years I disagree most with: 1999, 2001, 2003, 2016

Significantly better picks for those (imo) would be Pokémon Gold & Silver, MGS2 or Melee, Tales of Symphonia and Persona 5 respectively.

And finally my personal ranking of all the winners and runners up I've played:
