Some of my favorite games of the decade (2010-2019). No particular ranked order.

what a good little friend
A game about death and dying in a small village in Scotland.
This is the game that I needed in 2017.
This might be my favorite game ever made. Definitely my favorite Rogue-like, at the very least.
Unshockingly, this game is on a best of decade list.
HITMAN finally feels like it's ascending. The recent games are the best the series has ever been, hands down.
I'm not sure how well it's narrative has aged, though it may have said something interesting in 2012, but the gameplay loop of this series is something that just satisfies me on a visceral level just... deep, deep in my gut.
An American tragedy for the ages.
It's a bit messy in spots, but this is the most home I've ever felt in a traditional immersive sim, easy.
Beautiful. Confusing. Nearly unplayable. I cannot stop thinking about this game.
This game is so incredibly slick that it has ruined every other shmup for me.
this game is actually flawless
Absolute love.
i love to place blocks
Super inventive and super clever Metroidvania.
Everything dies, baby, that's a fact. But maybe everything that dies someday comes back.
My sincere hope is that the future of games is heralded by Disco Elysium
its in my bones
Just scratches an itch, you know?
Name one other game that talks about Hegelian dialectics and also has Dave Foley pull a Miller's Crossing on you. Also, Chandler is in it and you can murder him
Bennett Foddy is arguably the most important game designer of our generation. I was never able to fini
Everything I could say has probably been said before, so I'll just say that that Heavens to Betsy record is pretty damn good
i luv bug lore
underrated indie gem
Jeez... what a swell game. Wonderful characters, fantastic art, great music, difficult choices, and you get to play magic basketball.
I have only allowed myself to say this on one of these games, so here it is: THIS GAME FUCKING SLAPS
This game changes every few months so I have no idea what it plays like now, but goddamn is this a good 4X.
The game that got me into sokoban.
The best 3D Mario. Debate me.
Simply one of the finest traditional Rogue-likes out there. Wonderfully approachable and dynamic.
Hot take: this game is better than A Link to the Past.
Queer girls kill god
I got 100% completion on this game and I refuse to ever play it again. Great game.
This game isn't "messy"; it's terrifyingly elegant.
A really interesting exploration of working class life in a fascinating and beautiful world.
A million ways to die in space
A really solid Traditional Rogue-like with some interesting mechanical structures in place.
A good game to listen to hip-hop during
A very good one of those
its the one where you save dogs
If I was James Bond, I would be dead
