Good list. Better than most sites anyways.

Most reviewers are cowards and rate games based on what they think other people will give them. If they believe a hyped game will get a lot of 10's they give it a 10 just to give the impression that their opinion is a valid one. Pathethic indeed.

I actually liked this list, because the author has a different approach. He evaluates games for the experience, innovation and engagement they provide to the player rather than for its graphics and plot. Now I´m enticed to try Papers Please, Stanley Parable and Cart Life (he cites on the article)

The list is complete BS. "10 most CRUCIAL games of 2013". Were those CRUCIAL games? What did they do to the industry? He praises independent games and then goes hating on AAA titles.
Look what he wrote about Bioshock Infinite: Its aesthetic wonder was unmatched by its plot and its uninspired shooter-based gameplay.
And then about GTA5: It deserves no such accolade, however, for its sub-standard criminal drama, its scattershot satire, or the stultifying missions it presents to players.
The only crucial games there are Tearaway and Super Mario 3D World (which i don't like, but admit it's crucial).
This guy just wanted to get some clicks. You can easily tell that when he talks s*** about Bioshock Infinite: and GTA5 and says indi game are more crucial than those universally acclaimed games. Worst of all, he doesn't even mentioned The Last of Us.

I have!

Hm... actually quite a refreshing list. Neat to see some under-appreciated games get a nod.

Half those games are awful compared to console games

No, it's number 10. 

Its it's a good list if you ask me. 

Saint's Row IV though???

Maybe if you bother to read the article, you'll see that he's is aware of titles like GTAV and TLOU. Though, he has other tastes and not easily impressed by a big budget.

I agree with his points towards GTAV. While Bioshock Infinite is a very good.

A good list nevertheless, very good indeed.
