Top 50 Games of All Time
I can list 50 games I love with no issue, but refining a list of my personal top 50 is much more complicated. Do modern-day masterpieces such as Red Dead Redemption II stand on equal ground to games I loved when I was younger like Fantastic Dizzy? I thought Mirror's Edge was amazing when I played it years ago but does it stand alongside games that defined my teenage years like Half-Life 2 and Team Fortress 2?
It's a struggle to find the balance between games that are truly amazing and those which are important to me for other reasons. Maybe I played a game for hundreds of hours with my best friends and as such find it deeply important to me, or maybe I played a game at the exact right time in my life where it truly resonated with me.
I think I've managed to do a decent enough job, though.
