A kind soul on Reddit aggregated 700 lists of the greatest games of all-time, and consolidated the top 100 in a list. I've posted the list in the spoiler below. A couple questions for discussion: (1) How many have you played; (2) are there any on your radar to play next?
I've played 42 of them. It's honestly more than I expected, although some of them I played at a very young age and maybe didn't have the fullest experience.
As for what's next for me on this list, I will definitely be playing Dark Souls 1 and Elden Ring. Mass Effect 2 is definitely a possibility too - that series is on my list for some point. I would like to play Super Mario Galaxy 2, but Nintendo seems insistent on not re-releasing that on Switch.
Some games on the list are either largely inaccessible to me today, or probably hard to enjoy in the modern era.
