Top 50 Games of the Generation
November 2013 – October 2020 50: Overcooked 2/Moving Out Starting with a dual one as they’re so close to each other, and both great for similar reasons. Both Overcooked and Moving Out turn simple tasks into a hilarious co-op challenge, causing arguments and…
Games of the Generation | 1: Control
This kind of came out of nowhere for me. I adored Alan Wake but didn’t really follow the developer due to Quantum Break not catching my interest. Control seem to come out with little fanfare, it was only after accidentally buying PlayStation Now…
Games of the Generation | 2: Super Mario Odyssey
Since Super Mario 64, other Mario platformers haven’t quite tickled the same itch. Super Mario Odyssey brought back that feeling of joy while also adding so much more. The levels are the main point of this. Not only are they varied themes, but…
Games of the Generation | 3: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
This was a very big change for Zelda. Instead of the structure of doing dungeons (mostly) in order, Breath of the Wild delivers a vast open world and once you finish the tutorial, you can go anywhere you want to. You can even…
Games of the Generation | 4: Gravity Rush 2
A sequel to the amazing Vita classic, Gravity Rush 2 continues the story of Kat and her cat, Dusty, who grants her gravity-controlling powers. Instead of the classic sequel trend of depowering the main character, Kat starts off feeling strong. Kat’s main power…
Games of the Generation | 5: Splatoon 2
While I got this game a bit late to enjoy most of the Splatfests, I still massively enjoyed Splatoon 2. A lot of that due to the Octo Expansion. The core gameplay is just as fantastically crazy as the first game, with extra…
Games of the Generation | 6: God of War
I have not played previous God of War games, but they do sound like hack and slash games. This new one, however, is definitely more of a story focused action/adventure game, although there is still plenty of combat. Kratos, after killing all the…
Games of the Generation | 7: Horizon: Zero Dawn
Post-apocalyptic robot dinosaurs. It sounds fun but incredibly silly…yet Horizon: Zero Dawn not only takes it seriously, but actually pulls it off in a way that makes complete sense, too. You play as Aloy, who was made an outcast from her tribe as…
Games of the Generation | 8: Mass Effect: Andromeda
Leaving the Milky Way behind, Mass Effect Andromeda revolves around massive arks filled with people who have decided to make a fresh start in a new home, going into cryo for hundreds of years. The arrival in the Andromeda galaxy is not smooth.…
Games of the Generation | 9: Marvel’s Spider-Man
Movement can make or break an open world game. If navigating the world is not fun, it’s hard to get into the game. Spider-Man delivers massively on that front. Web slinging across New York is easy, but there are still ways to master…
