Top 10 of the 2010s

My fav games from the 2010s lmao

Spiritfarer
Spiritfarer
A so called "arty game" that manages to use actual gameplay to help tell its story rather than feeling like an after thought
Fallout: New Vegas
Fallout: New Vegas
Need I say anything that hasnt been said about one of the all time great western RPGs that marries old school RolePlaying depth and character writing with more modern accessible FPS gameplay?
Dark Souls
Dark Souls
Self explanatory
What Remains of Edith Finch
What Remains of Edith Finch
A great game and exemplar of the "walking sim" genre but a lot more involved than many of its peers
Disco Elysium
Disco Elysium
Possibly the greatest RPG of all time
Total War: Shogun 2
Total War: Shogun 2
The best total war game to date (don't @ me). Streamlined in ways that make the experience better but without losing the soul that makes these games great and the realm divide solves the perennial steam roller problem of becoming to powerful for the endgame to be fun.
XCOM: Enemy Unknown
XCOM: Enemy Unknown
Excellent turnbased strategy game, again streamlined to be more accesible but retaining the core appeal of these games, wonderful potential for emergent player storytelling and organic tension with player permadeath
Consortium
Consortium
My honest favourite Immersive Sim after Deus Ex. And like its father, quite janky combat.
Thomas Was Alone
Thomas Was Alone
If less is more, Thomas Was Alone is the apex of game design. Does a lot with very little.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Surely self explanatory also
