EDIT: The Poll is bollocks. Too many games to add overall, so just ignore it and just suggest your own games.

Inspired by anvi's "I Hate Eurogamer" thread, there's a few sites knocking this list out, most highlighting a fucking woeful selection of shite, most of which aren't even the best games in the series, never mind decade.

Anyway, here's the chance for the only place which matters to stamp it's authority on what should be deemed as the best games of 2010.

Here's mine, may amend it if I see any I've forgotten..............

Shadowrun Returns
Shadowrun Dragonfall
Hard West
The Witcher 2
Alan Wake
X-Com - Enemy Within
Dark Souls 2
Tales of Berseria
The Technomancer
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Life Is Strange
Mass Effect 1
Assassins Creed:Origins
Saints Row 4
Batman Arkham Origins

For me there are only some games I even gave the slightest shit about in the past 10 years. Blackguards, Aarklash Legacy, Fall of the Dungeon Guardians, Knights of the Chalice, Dungeon Warfare, and some ok-ish ones I forgot. How I survived the decade with such slim pickings is a miracle.

edit: KSP, Rimworld, and DoS1 were ok.

Way too many games to remember and think about but Fallout New Vegas is my obvious choice for best, as it's also on my top 10 of all time. I'd also put Deus Ex 3 and Dishonored in the top handful as well. Not a lot of pure RPGs sticking out, but I haven't gotten around to a lot of the "incline" games yet. The ones I have played (Pillars, Tyranny, Shadowrun series) weren't super great.

Codex 2014 Make the Codex Great Again! Grab the Codex by the pussy
My top five of the decade:

Terraria (2011)
Papers, Please (2013)
Broforce (2015)
Primordia (2012)
Heroine's Quest: The Herald of Ragnarok (2014)

(I consider Spelunky to be a a 2009 release, as the 2013 release is just a commercial version of it.)

My list is gathered from games I actually played, and not just games I know or feel to be good, or by any need to keep up appearances. If any big names are missing from it, you now know why.

Is Elminage Gothic really that good? I tried it and stopped early because the controls and Engrish style was a pain, but I didn't think the gameplay would be worth persevering.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Dark Souls is the best. Then come Fallout New Vegas and Battle Brothers and then Underrail, D:OS, Disco Elysium, maybe Batman Arkham City and Portal 2 in a scrummage beneath them.
