Honorary mentions that I just cant simply not… mention:

• Mega Man 8, X and X2
• Breath of Fire 4
• TLOZ Majora’s Mask, TLOZ A Link between Worlds and TOTK
• Metroid Dead
• Resident Evil 2 Remake
• Ragnarok Online
• Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
• A bunch others. Like a lot. So many. Like dude, I didnt even put Yoshis Island or Uncharted 4 in my list, like what even was I thinking.

Honestly, these lists get harder and harder every year. I have like 100 games that should reasonably fit my top50.

My Top 50 for this year. 

I really wanted to include Baldur's Gate 3 and TLOZ: Tears of the Kingdom in the list but because I haven't put enough time into them to qualify being on my list, I just decided to exclude this time around. I am enjoying both games though and wanna see where they end up in my list of games. Baldur's gate 3 is especially a surprise because it's not the type of game I'd normally enjoy.

My 50 greatest games of all time - 2023 edition

I'll link the titles to posts that explain more about the game. The platform contains the platform (or platforms) I played said game on, it may have been released on others. As I can't remember for all which year I played it, the year is the year of release of the game.

Look also for my honorable mentions.

Here some statistics. As I played some games on multiple platforms, the platform numbers will add up to more than 50. As creators I list only these, which made multiple games I like.

See the results of the guessing game.

Here's mine!
