One thing I noticed when creating my top 50 games this year is games that are good but not better than a similar game did not make the cut.
I like Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2 but prefer the first one and so the other game did not get a place on the list.
Same with Mario Maker, Smash Bros, Pokémon Snap (yea, I actually love that game) and a few others.
It all comes done to what game I would like to play. If I want to play an Advance Wars game I will pick Dual Strike for example. But in a world where dual strike does not exist I can see that advance wars 2 is a better game than something like RC Pro Am II.
What I'm trying to say is that if my top 50 would be of games I consider better than other games instead of what games I could se myself play again, the list would be very different. Better games that is pretty much the same thing will invalidate other also great games simply be making them redundant.
