That’s cool and that’s fine: by its definition criticism is personal. There are games you might expect to see on a list like this that you won’t find below. What matters isn’t popularity or success, but how a game makes us feel, what it makes us think about, what it says about our culture and games as a medium, and how it impacts not just us personally but the industry and the art form. The goal isn’t to capture what was the most popular or best selling or best reviewed games of the decade, but to serve as a guide to what the people who oversee Paste’s games coverage-myself and Holly-consider to be the most important, unique and ultimately best videogames of the decade.Ĭritical consensus is a joke. We didn’t write all the words in the blurbs below-so many writers helped with that over the years, and deepest thanks to you all-but we decided what games made the list, and what order they’d be arranged in. This list was crafted by two people: myself and my assistant editor, Holly Green. If this doesn’t make any sense wait until you hit your late 20s: everything suddenly goes Sonic fast from there on out, and only speeds up along the way.
Best games of 2016 pc indie series#
Life is a series of countless steps forward and infinite steps backward. We’ve come so far since then as a society and yet regressed to an astonishing degree. That was lifetimes ago but also last week. That came out the very first month of 2010, just under 10 years ago, and my review of it was one of the very last game pieces to run in Paste’s original print magazine. 2010 feels like forever ago and yet I remember playing through Mass Effect 2 like it was yesterday. Time is the most absurd lie we’ve ever told ourselves. I’ve been running this game since August 2011, over 80% of this decade that’s coming to a close. I wasn’t an editor the last time Paste put together one of these lists, but I was already writing here, and took over the games section not too much later.
