    Mass Effect 1 at #49?? List is utter trash.

    And, no, I do not believe that my creation of a “show” made from editing my full ME1 gameplay has biased me at all. 😤

    Also, I think that this (and most Best X of All Time lists) would be better served by breaking things down to eras, rather than trying to rank “of All Time”.

    The majority of the first 15 entries on this list are PC-only that require some difficulty to acquire let alone get playing well on modern machines. This isn’t a list where a younger gamer could just jump and start playing through the titles, from both the age of the graphics and the mechanics of the older titles to simply getting these games playing through something like Steam or GoG. Even playing Baldur’s Gate through its Xbox remaster has been hard for me because it just takes a completely different gaming strategy to play a game that old.

    Breaking this list into like 90 to early 00s, mid-00s to mid-2010s, and mid-2010 to 2020+ would differentiate this list and introduce gamers to more relevant games.

      Diablo II being 20 position under the first Diablo shows that the list is mostly nostalgia driven. Diablo II was peak “let’s take everything they loved and make it more of that for the sequel”.
