gamrConnect presents: Their 1086 Greatest Games, as of 2023

[Darashiva]

I've done this the last few times, so just for fun, here are a few stats.

• 24 games from my list made it into the top 50
• From the collective top 10 four of the games were on my list (Elden Ring, Final fantasy VII, Super Mario Bros 3, and Breath of the Wild). Curiously, they were in the exact opposite order on my list than in the collective one.
• If we extent that to the top 20, I had seven of those games on my top 50, adding The Last of Us, Shadow of the Colossus, and Final Fantasy VI to the list.
• Only one game from my personal top 10 made it into the combined one (Elden Ring), the next closest being my #6 (Shadow of the Colossus) reaching #19.
• Games nobody else had on their lists:
  
  • A Plague Tale: Innocence (My #50, probably going to fall of my list next time)
  • Trails in the Sky the 3rd (My#49, also in danger of falling off next time)
  • Trails in the Sky (My #11)
  • Trails in the Sky SC (My #7)
  • Freespace 2 (My #3)
• Finally, some pleasant surprises:
  • Nier: Automata at #31 (Didn't expect it to be that high, but wonderful to see. The game deserves it)
  • Hollow Knight at #42 (The best Metroidvania, nice to see it place so high)
  • Suikoden II at #70 (For an honestly fairly niche title, and a pretty old one at that, this is a great placement)
  • Valkyria Chronicles at #91 (One of my favourite games ever, so the fact its in the top 100 makes me happy)
• There were certain games whose high placement somewhat baffled me, but in the interest of being nice, let's not dwell on them.
