According to MetaCritic, Zelda: Breath of the Wild topped "best games of the 2010s" lists, appearing in 1st place in 17 of these lists. In 2030, what game of the 2020s decade will appear on the 1st place in most of these lists? (It should be noted that we are in the middle of the 2020s decade so this may change as new games get released).

Immortality is a very special game. It pushes the cinematic narratity further than I've ever seen.

[-] DaTingGoBrrr@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 hours ago

Tears of the Kingdom. I am a huge Zelda fan and I also loved Breath of the Wild

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 3 hours ago

Central Hyrule on horseback in BotW was such an amazing feeling. TotK didn't ever catch that level of action, but everything else was more fun. Plus it has a lot of QoL changes that helped. Opening chests with full inventory comes to mind. I was upset BG3 beat it for game of the year but the competition was really tough.

I hope Brok The Investigator becomes more recognized to the point it can make one of those silly lists.

We're not even through the first half yet, so it's pretty impossible to say, I think. BG3 could be in there, but we could also just be blown away by other things unforeseeable from here/now.

Alan Wake 2

does Echoes of the Eye count?

[-] Dymonika@beehaw.org 1 points 19 minutes ago

I've never even heard of this title.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 63 points 17 hours ago

It has to be either Elden Ring or Baldur's Gate 3.

Upvote because obviously this isn’t sarcasm, but actually for reals.

[-] MrEff@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

Also up vote because obviously the only correct answer. It was based on golden source material. Therefore could not fail.

I think either of these will be regarded as works of art, and jump up in rankings :

  • Alan Wake
  • Disco Elysium

Disco Elysium

I acknowledge that it was well received, but it was from 2019.

balatro. its kind of flawless.

[-] Dymonika@beehaw.org 1 points 18 minutes ago* (last edited 18 minutes ago)

I just hate its relentless sudden-death format, which kills you from a single misclick. At least Slay the Spire gave you HP and was far more forgiving.

[-] Ledivin@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

I love Balatro, but this is definitely recency bias. It's going to mostly fade from mainstream popularity and acclaim long before then.

[-] lemmyseizethemeans@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 10 hours ago

This crack is rather moreish

I've cleared 6 new decks now that it's available on phone. So stupidly fun

[-] Limonene@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Elder Scrolls 6 will no doubt be polarizing, with some calling it the game of the decade, and others saying that the TES formula just doesn't work anymore. (The game might also just suck.)

[-] Burghler@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 hours ago

Bethesda has little chance to succeed with anything but a routine fumble 😞

1.0 just came out and now I'm getting blindsided by a Factorio DLC? GG my sleep schedule!

[-] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 2 points 8 hours ago

4 more hours to wait !

Might have the dates off - subnautica should be up there.

[-] DebatableRaccoon@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 hours ago
[-] lukstru@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

well subnautica 2 was just announced

[-] DebatableRaccoon@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

True but they didn't say 2 in the above comment and with 2 years off, it's easy to not realise the first wasn't released in the 2020s without checking.

[-] Norin@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

Disco Elysium

Vampire Survivors

[-] Juice260@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Monster Hunter Rise and Ghost of Tsushima for me! Other than that, there are plenty that I enjoy but most of the wants I full on LOVE are pre-2020 like TitanFall 2, Hyrule Warriors, WarFrame etc. I do live GranBlue Fantasy are link as well but I don’t think that’ll make too many people’s lists, which is a shame because it’s an absolute masterpiece in my eyes. It plays like a 360 era game requiring no online connection, sporting a gorgeous art style and so many campaign moments that made me straight up shout “damn that was awesome”

[-] aramis87@fedia.io 0 points 16 hours ago

Elden Ring, Stardew Valley.

[-] Davel23@fedia.io 16 points 15 hours ago

Stardew Valley came out in 2016.
