- Diablo is a tell that a human being with a preference for games didn't make the list. The ordering is also off.

Diablo and star wars being on this list is insanity

28
- I did here star wars was good, just had performance issues on PC

Lies of P? Remnant II? Hell I’m surprised that Starfield isn’t on this list ahead of D4… (not that it deserves to be there, mind you)

14
Because Time is such an authority on video games /s

13
- Lol EA and Blizz just paid to get on that list

Alan Wake 2? Seriously?

Ok, to be fair I haven't played it, but did it break new ground and I just didn't hear? I assumed it was just... a fine third person horror game.

Baldur's gate 3 is a masterpiece and new high water mark. I say this despite intensely disliking DND 5e's rules.

- I've been describing AW2 as my subjective GotY. If you don't like the story telling or if you hate cutscenes in general, it offers very little, otherwise it really is a narrative experience like no other. BG3 is technically a revolution for CRPG but it's easy for me to imagine (and have seen) people get bored or the content

  Well i hate watching movies so yeah i probably wouldn't like AW lol

Dredge really deserves that list, really creative indie game. D4 though...

9
Fucking hell, if D4 made the list it's been a bad year for games.

8
- I can honestly name many, many games that can take it’s place. Even Starfield is better than that piece of garbage.

If we're allowing remakes, we should allow anything sold during the year, new or old. I nominate pong.

8
- Pong is better than Diablo 4.

As someone just getting back into gaming, I’d like some Lemming’s top 10 of the year – which would be more helpful than Time’s.

3
- Good idea I might make a post or query the community on how they would want to do it.
  
  2
- In no particular order, here are some games that came out this year that have really stuck with me:
  
  Hi-Fi Rush
  
  Zelda: TOTK
  
  Mario Wonder
  
  Dungeons of Aether
  
  Remnant 2
  
  And a bonus shoutout to Warhammer 40k Darktide for getting a ground-up rework to the class system. To anyone who wrote this game off previously, it's worth another shot.
  
  2
- Do you want top 10 released this year, or top 10 people played this year?
  
  If you're just getting back into gaming, you probably missed a bunch of gems that are still totally worth playing today.
  
  When I got back into gaming, I remember really liking /r/patientgamers essential gaming list (Google spreadsheet), which has a bunch of great older games. Perhaps we could do something like that, but limit it to more recent games (say, 5 years or current gen only?). And put that next to a top ten from the current year.

  Thanks for the spreadsheet, that’s clutch! Also, great ideas.
