Agreed, without better defined scope the question is just asking for:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_games_considered_the_best

Its a fun read but its already available.

Damn 2004 was a banger of a year for video games.

The year of half life 2

Man why is did the list go so thin in the later years? Straight up nothing for 2021?

[–] Kelly@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The criteria for inclusion:

The games listed here are included on at least six separate "best/greatest of all time" lists from different publications (inclusive of all time periods, platforms, and genres), as chosen by their editorial staffs.

This excludes every new title until six publications update their list. Then of course the title has to be good enough to be included on those lists.

Oh. Maybe if I read the criteria of being on that list before just indulging in it I would have understood. Thanks.
