BONUS CONTENT: Game of the Decade 2010-2019

With 10 years worth of Games of the Year sitting there it only makes sense to finish off the catch-up with a Game of the Decade to choose the best of the best from the past 10 years. So the 5 Games of the Year up for the award are.

2010 – 2019:

Nominees:

Winner:

I jumped around a bit with this one until I finally made a choice. My original thought was The Witcher 3, then from that I went to God of War and then from that to Skyrim. Once I had Skyrim in mind the other contenders couldn’t shake it from the top spot. Slyrim stood firm in it’s spot no matter how many contenders I threw at it. The game is one that I have returned to many times since it’s release and now that I’ve named it my Game of the Decade I might go back to it again. It is an experience that I can go back to time and time again even 9 years on since it’s original release. At the time of writing this Skyrim is yet to feel old, It is a modern classic like the last few Elder Scrolls games before it. Number 6 has very big shoes to fill but if anyone can pull another Game of the Year/Decade, my money would be on Bethesda.

BONUS CONTENT: Game of the Year 2015

This one was another difficult choice, turns out I’ve played even less guess this year then I did the last, the only other game I played from that year was Just Cause 3. So with that in mind lets move on to the nominees.

2015:

Nominees:

  • Fallout 4
  • Life is Strange
  • Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain
  • Rise of the Tomb Raider
  • The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Winner:

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Looking at the list of games on Google from 2015 I don’t think there was another game that year that could have gotten the award. I’ve got a review “oven ready” for The Witcher 3 sitting in my drafts waiting for the right moment to release it, but in short. The world is rich and vibrant, The story is engaging and invigorating and The gameplay is crisp and user friendly. It is a fantastic game and a must own for any RPG lover also don’t be discouraged if you haven’t played the first two games. There is plenty of lore to get your teeth into to get you up to speed.
