Honorable Mentions:

Games I need to play or finish that might've made my list

10. Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon - Just an action puzzler that's more fun that it should be.

9. Metroid Dread - It's the best Metroid has been in a long time, though I suppose that's more do to Nintendo's neglect than anything. Mostly surprised MercurySteam delivered, since I actively dislike 2 of their 3 Castlevania games.

8. Resident Evil Village - Doesn't quite match the highs of 7, but still a very good Resident Evil game.

7. Inscryption - Acts 2 and 3 are fun twists, but Act 1 is where this game truly shined.

6. Loop Hero - Deckbuilding always seems to be fun when it shouldn't and the same goes for autobattlers. So this is a double whammy

5. Skul: The Hero Slayer - Great varied combat through the exchanging of skulls.

4. Griftlands - I was particularly struck by Rook's campaign. Smith's was also very enjoyable. Sal's was very meh.

3. The Forgotten City - Great writing and an effective use of the time loop trope that's becoming so popular.

2. Halo Infinite - Halo's back, still wish Brutes weren't a thing, but this game has handled them better than prior entries. Also this game made me feel like Spider-Man.

1. Deathloop - While I do wish it wasn't linear in the end, I enjoyed this game far more than any other. Great characters, writing and the action was very satisfying. Also spy stuff.

List button didn't work right, here's the link

@sirdeimos: If it makes you feel better, I thought about including it on some level in the final paragraph but opted to be more general so as to not end with another list of games after already listing a bunch of games.

I'm really surprised a quick look of this game wasn't made either way, considering how much love Rogue Legacy got on here anyway.

I read that article the other day and immediately bought it and I've been enjoying my time with it. I've only played it by myself, but swapping between characters seems a fine enough way to play for me. I think it's a pretty good take on the classic arcade beat em up. Usually I find these sorts of games to be incredibly boring these days, but I think the progression really helped mitigate it quite a bit. That and all 4 characters play differently enough to the point where I'm constantly flipping between party members. I think the engineer might be my favorite as dumping clips into fools is fun and she seems the most mobile with a low cooldown on her roll move. Though it's kind of a catch-22 since you'll want to level all your characters up, but don't really have the means invest in all of them, but they thought about that even to an extent by offering discounts that help your lower leveled characters level up for cheaper. I wouldn't say it's an amazing game or anything, but I think it's pretty good. My only real gripe is that the humor is a bit overly memey.

Goku is a great guy, a good role model, but he doesn't really change much

Vegeta evolves from an evil self-serving villain into an anti-hero into a genuine good guy. I vote Vegeta.

Thanks guys

@shindig: Ha! 41 is still progress if you're only adding 40. And 41 is pretty good anyway, I imagine even a lot of hardcore gamers don't get through 10 each year.

@ohagan: Thanks! I'm actually surprised at how well it's gone. Considering I've had a few pretty lackluster months, I think this is a very doable challenge, especially if you stay consistent. And it really helps clean up the backlog. Good luck to you if you do try challenging yourself with this, the hardest part might not be finding 100 games you think you want to play, but finding 100 of them that you actually want to play.

I just recently played Diablo 1 in its entirety in one day. Regardless of that, I would still consider it 1996, because that's when it was released, and it really feels as simple as that.

@pudge: I never knew about that. imagine since they've done something like that before, it might mean it's not that hard to do something like it again, and it'd sounds great.

Ocarina of Time (1998ish)

Majora's Mask (2000ish)

A Link to the Past (2009ish)

Wind Waker (2011)

Legend of Zelda (2013)

A Link Between Worlds (2013)

I played Link's Awakening as a kid around the same time as I played Ocarina I would guess, but I got lost in the woods and never got out
