​

Renowned UK gaming industry magazine EDGE has updated it's top 100 games of all time list for 2017:

Welcome to the 2017 edition of The 100 Greatest Videogames. If you’re not familiar with the format, here are our rules. In compiling this list, we worked to simple criteria: all formats – portable, touchscreen, console, PC, whatever – were eligible; we could include only a single entry from any series that features straight-up sequels; and each game had to stand up today rather than making the cut for reasons of nostalgia or historic significance.

Not all of the games featured here are new, however. In fact, some of the most invigorating parts of the curation process involved pulling out and replaying a number of the most seasoned titles from the Edge archives. Hopefully this much-argued-over collection will inspire you in the same way.

Surprisingly good list, though how Red Dead Redemption made even a top 10,000 i'll never know.
I'm not sure BOTW is the #1 game of all time, however it's definitely up there, and we all know it'd be a Zelda title at the #1 spot...so they at least did pick the best one.

Disturbing lack of some games, but I mean that's to be expected. Armored Core could prob replace RDR easily, Valkyria Chronicles needs a nice high spot too.

 

[Joe88]

they forgot to put "Sponsored by:" in the list credits

This list is pure garbage, almost all the games are modern games.

 

[DeadlyFoez]

Kinda shocked to not see Terraria on this list.

I have only played 12 of the games on this list. Not a big gamer.

almost all the games are modern games.

I didn't realize super metroid was considered a modern game. I guess putting Pong on that list would help bring it into the retro era?

This list was created by Satan.

Whoa, leave me out of this one.

 

[shaunj66]

What a crock of shit list.

 

[Deleted User]

Super Hexagon.

Super. Hexagon.

why

 

[netovsk]

Too bad it's just their opinions and no idea why someone should care instead of making their own judgement.

 

[JellyPerson]

The World Ends With You

Phoenix Wright

Ghost Trick

 

[Friendsxix]

How did both Pokémon Red/Blue and Pokémon Gold/Silver not make that list?

Also, to everyone complaining that the list is "biased" — of course it is. Please tell me how you make an objective list of the best of anything. Would you just go off of metacritic scores?

Still, this list is a piece of shit regardless.

 

[SnakeOil992]

>No FFIX, FFVI and Mother 3 and Half-Life 1
>Bioshock at 83 and Earthbound at 67
>BOTW at 1
>No Zelda CDi games

These people don't deserve anything lmao.

 

[eduall]

where is CRASH BANDICOOD???

 

[DarthDub]

Just a daily reminder that people have shit taste in games.

 

[GhostLatte]

Where are the other Uncharted games? They are phenomenal.

Surprisingly good list, though how Red Dead Redemption made even a top 10,000 i'll never know.

Are you saying Red Read Redemption isn't a good game?

 

[CallmeBerto]

trigglypuff!!! How I've haven't missed u.

 

[Deleted member 377734]

Not a single Shin Megami Tensei, BlazBlue or Guilty Gear game. i'm disappointed.

 

[Psionic Roshambo]

I feel like this is 1 person's top 100 list.

Anytime there is a legit vote on top 100 games of all time, the list it spits out is usually a lot easier to understand.

With my US centric viewpoint out of the way, since this is a UK list maybe that's where some of the quirks come from?

I probably have played 80% of that list and most of them are fantastic games, some of them I would argue have no place anywhere near a top 100 list but that's just like my opinion.

 

[Apathetic_Discord]

I feel like I should be unhappy about the fact that neither of the Nier games are on there.
I mean...why?

 

[JellyPerson]

no knack

fuck this list

 

[Foxchild]

List does not contain Chrono Trigger. List is invalid.

 

[VitaType]

What is that even doing on a top 100 list? (I do like the italic set games while beeing confused to find them on such a list due to the fact that there're so many great games. The non-italic set games make me shake my head)

100. Super Hexagon
99. Her Story (Awful acting. Dosn't deserves to be in the top 100. Great game, you should play it)
98. Super Monkey Ball
97. Final Fantasy XII
96. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (I like that game, but it didn't aged well. It's gameplay-wise a pretty generic feeling action game today even with that nice time-feature)
95. Hyper Light Drifter
94. Katamari Damacy (Are you serious here? Serious? That game for degenerated people is on this list?)
90. F-Zero GX
88. R-Type Final
87. Elite: Dangerous (Such a lovely idea. Such a empty universe. I really like the idea of such space games, but it's always a disappointment... and that despite the fact that I don't get hyped for this kind of games. One day, one day we will get a really good space exploration game...)
86. Bomberman (never played it in multiplayer mode, maybe that's why I don't like it? Also I never saw it as somekind of landmark game or something else that would justify it's appearance here, maybe that's a personal thing...)
84. Pac-Man: Championship Edition (Yes, it's a classic but with today standards it's hard to explain why it's here. I don't enjoy that game, I'm not even sure if people who play that game feel joy while playing it or if they just play it because there is nothing else to play at that moment they play it. I know hard words for such a classic [words I don't have e.g. for Puzzle Bobble and Tetris])
82. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (...)
81. Puzzle & Dragons
80. Tearaway (The game was a nice try to make use of Vitas special feature. Nothing more.)
79. League of Legends
70. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
63. FTL: Advanced Edition (intressting game, but if it even should be on this list it has to be further below. The rank is to good)
59. The Stanley Parable
51. Nidhogg (It's the contemporary Blobby Volleyball.. Fun and all, but...)
37. Spelunky
23. Advance Wars
12. Bayonetta 2

Nice to see this games on here (I wonder about the appearance of the italic set games even if I enjoy to see them on such a list, but I'm okay with it)

91. Puzzle Bobble
90. F-Zero GX
89. The Sims 3
85. StarCraft II
83. BioShock
74. Civilization IV
69. Limbo
60. Okami
58. XCOM: Enemy Unknown
48. Super Mario 3D World
43. Super Mario Maker
35. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
34. Kerbal Space Program
22. The Witness
21. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
16. Super Mario World
14. Super Mario 64
13. Portal
11. Minecraft
8. Super Mario Galaxy 2
7. Tetris
6. Half-Life 2

 

[Cylent1]

I cannot believe not 1 God of War game is in the list!
They must be smoking the under the kitchen sink designer drugs...
But I do agree on Zelda BOTW as #1!
