Which was better, the 2000s or the 2010s?

The 2010s had a ton of great games for me; Mario Galaxy 2, BOTW, Bayonetta 2, TLOU, Witcher 3, Doom 2016, Bioshock Infinite, Tropical Freeze, Gears 3, Nier Automata, Mario Odyssey, Mass Effect 2, Halo Reach, Titanfall 2, Uncharted 3 + 4, Mario Kart 8, Xenoblade Chronicles, Portal 2, Hellblade, Wolfenstein The New Order, Alien Isolation...

Having said that, the 2000s also boast quite a few masterpieces. For me it's pretty close.

What’s interesting to me is how so many games you have listed here are sequels to OG releases from the 00s. Not to discredit sequels, in fact I’d say most (if not all) of these examples are distinct enough from their predecessor to be viewed independently, but point still stands.

That said: Both 2000s and 2010s were solid for gaming. We really have yet to see a period in gaming where the games just never show up.

True, though by the same token a lot of the 2000s best games were also continuations of series from the 80s/90s like Mario, Metroid, Resident Evil, etc.

2010s did have some great new IPs as well like Splatoon, Hellblade, TLOU, Horizon, Xenoblade, etc.
