no surprises here!

There are 9 Legend of Zelda games in the top 40. What the heck? ( mean, it it an amazing series but that's absurd!)

IT's almost like Nintendo is VERY good at this

Interesting results. Glad to see Astro-bot made it's debut at 63 for it's first year on the list. I expected higher for Baldur's gate 3 but i guess not enough people here played it. Ocarina of time going back to 1 is interesting. Maybe opinions on Zelda games are shifting a bit. My personal number 1 Elden Ring is lookin pretty good at 14.

I hope this event can continue in the future it's one of my favorite things about this site. Thanks mZuzek for hosting this for all these years.

Thanks for all your efforts with these events over the years, @mZuzek! It sure looks like a lot of work, but they're fun to read.

Looks like we're shaking it up this year with Nintendo titles composing what for VGC is an unusually small six out of the to top ten games this time around. I'm glad to see Chrono Trigger and The Last of Us cracking the top ten this time around, look at that! Looks like we had fewer people participating this year in general, so maybe my adding Chrono Trigger, and at a good rank, this year helped a little.

I think the same is true of probably half my list too. It's half my top 10 for sure. I guarantee you nobody else included Butterfly Soup 1 and 2, Gone Home, Perfect Tides, or Misericorde anywhere on their lists. What can I say, I like my favorite coming-of-age visual novels and point-and-clicks. Probably the only person to include Undertale in their top 10 as well.

Not surprised by Ocarina of Time taking first place for the first time since 2015?

I mean, it is one of a handful of games I'd expect to be at the top so yeah. Makes sense! 

Yeah if you’re really into a genre you can really dive into it and you can stumble upon some niche or even obscure stuff. I for one only know about those games you mentioned’s existence because you include them in these Top 50 lists. Similarly a lot of the construction management games (the ‘city-builders’ and such) in my list haven’t been voted for by anyone else, and then I didn’t even include anything that’s really unknown. Except maybe the Asterix game.

Didn't think BOTW would be beaten not only by one but two games, I wonder if it would've got the #1 again if more people had participated.

Anyway, thanks for the great effort you put into this event @mZuzek 

Thanks for putting this together once again this year!
