We’re a few days into 2020 and Thrillist wants you to get excited about the score of titles they chose to highlight in “The 20 Best Video Games of the 2010s“:
The past ten years of gaming were a whirlwind of fantastic triple-A titles, curious indie gems, and a series of excellent remakes and sequels that turned into smash hits. From sprawling RPGs to aesthetically impressive puzzlers, there was a spread that could please even the most discerning player, with exciting narratives and compelling mechanics baked into each title.
Now that a new decade is upon us, it’s time to take a look back on the games that were more than memorable — they defined the art form from 2010 to 2020.
Thrillist’s selections should actually look rather familiar, as they’ve included games like Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, CD Projekt’s The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Blizzard’s Overwatch, and Capcom’s Resident Evil 2 in their unranked list.
Though they did travel a bit off the beaten path as the only outlet (so far) to select Capcom’s Devil May Cry 5 as one of the best of the decade. See the full unranked list after the break.
