VGChartz's Joseph Trotter: "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a tremendous achievement, one that may be lessened or heightened by what follows in the future. For now, it is the high point for narrative-driven open-world RPGs. It has everything, with very little to show in detriment. The narrative is stirring, characters affecting, visuals gorgeous, combat brutal, world riveting, score soaring. It has heart, soul and brutality, a little tenderness but little positivity – for who could be positive in such a scenario? This review barely scrapes the surface, but I’ve probably barely scratched the surface of what Wild Hunt has to offer. That adventure, the excitement of discovery, is best left to you."

Resident Evil 1
Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.
Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.

I have a friend, plays games very rarely. He dipped into Oblivion for maybe 5-6 hours right? This dude will come over to my house and play this game for hours while I sleep. He usually starts around 11pm, so I might watch him for an hour or so...then hit the sack. He stays at my house until 4am-5am playing this game. He has more hours in the game than I do...better equipment...better stats....
and I'm the gamer....wtf?
