Mass Effect 2 is probably my absolute game of the decade, but honourable mentions abound:
I got in to MMOs in a big way, levelling people to max in Star Trek Online, Star Wars The Old Republic and what is my second-favourite game of the decade, Final Fantasy XIV.
I'd like to also mention the likes of Arkham, the new Hitman games, GTA (even as shitty as Rockstar have gotten), and the Lego games. And naturally Mass Effect 3, which to be fair, is pretty damn good bar the very end.
In no particular order:
Red Dead Redemption
Resident Evil 2
Mass Effect 2
Witcher 3
Shadows of the Colossus Remake
The Walking Dead Season 1
Overwatch
Alien Isolation
Fallout New Vegas
Persona 5
Dark Souls
Spider-Man PS4 (it averages higher than the Arkham games for me so it takes their spot)
Bloodborne
The Last of Us
Resident Evil Remastered (:v)

Katana ZEROLimited to games I've beaten at least once and obviously I've played, so Nintendo games are SOL because consoles are gay.
Do you genocide?
Most of my favorites have also been mentioned already, so I'll avoid repeating them. In general though, for me, this decade has really been defined by Dark Souls and souls-like titles like Bloodborne and Hollow Knight. I'll also throw Infamous 2/3, Borderlands 2/3, Portal 2, Super Mario Odyssey, and Shadow of Mordor into the the pot, since no one's mentioned them yet. I'm sure there's also a ton of indie games deserving of a spot, but there's so many that I can't really call them all to mind on the spot.
For all the RPG lovers, I'm surprised no one's mentioned Dragon Age or Dragon's Dogma. I haven't played much of either, but weren't they supposed to be among the better RPGs of the decade?
Originally posted by NewGuy01Portal is good at what it does, but didn't stick with me like the ones I named, and I unfortunately haven't beaten Bloodborne because, as I said, consoles are gay. Shadow of Mordor is very good but I never finished it, which isn't a mark against the game's quality, I just had ADD for games for the longest time and didn't finish a lot of really good games. Dark Souls is definitely one of the strongest contenders for game of the decade in terms of impact, only perhaps beaten out by Minecraft (you don't have to like it but can't deny its influence)

Dragon's Dogma is another victim of my video game OCD. In terms of combat it is one of the best action RPG games I've ever played, though it is lacking in story and RPG choice/dialogue mechanics compared to some of the games I've mentioned. Dragon Age Inquisition sucks shitty balls and I will tolerate no one who says otherwise. 2 is better. Origins is very good though, rivaling Mass Effect 2 as Bioware's best.
Also don't be a gay, what games already mentioned would you bring up?

Think of it like emulating the console.
Only without the PC. PCless emulation.

What 2019 expansion? The Switch version came out then, and afaik that's just the same Dark Arisen expansion we got since 2016. Maybe with an added Nintendo exclusive or two.
For the record, the Xbox 360 version of DA has a "black swordsman" outfit, and the "White hawk" sets, so you can get your Berserk on. The outfits did not survive the port to modern systems.

I would definitely have Dragon Age: Origins on this list but it just misses the cut-off for this decade.I wouldn't include either of the other DA games, myself.
Yeah, I wanted to have DAO as it's my favourite game of this century, but sadly it misses the cut-off.

Yeah it's 2010 onwards, so Origins wouldn't count. I thought Inquisition was pretty popular too, though.
I like it, and I've finished it twice, but I dunno it has a LOT of issues, and when it came out it got a lot of justified flak.

One game I forgot to mention is Star Wars Battlefront 2. Sure, for a while it was a mess, but as it is right now, and for the last year or two? It's been a phenomenal Star Wars experience imo.
