It definitely is on MY 100 list forever, but other games on their list are definitely not on mine. Also a list that doesn’t include Gothic 1 or 2 is inherently flawed. ;)
I understand that these lists create clicks, so it is probably worth the hassle for them to spent a lot of time compromising on it. It is also the list of 2024 - so it is not a final thing just a glimps into their current thoughts lasting 12 months until the next list, so recency bias is fine.
For what YOUR top 100 are I recommend checking out https://www.grouvee.com/ and sharing your thoughts and reviews and keeping your collections organized. It is free and the community is welcoming and well moderated.

Thanks I will check out
Recency bias. But I think it’s understandable.
Right behind…
Balatro?
Yep
I’m a big Slay the Spire fan but have never heard of it yet. I’ll check it out, but I do wonder why it’s ranked higher than Slay the Spire.
I’m also a massive slay the spire fan, I’d say Balatro is easier to pick up and the runs are shorter, so it really has an addictive loop of “just one more try”, however I think you’re much more in the hands of RNG and I personally wouldn’t put it on the same level as STS, but it is a great game and definitely worth checking out!
This feels like such a weird exercise to even attempt. It’s been 42 years, tens, if not hundreds of thousands of games and dozens of generations of hardware. What do you mean top 100?
I mean, they do explain how they put the list together, I just think it is the peak of listicle absurdity. Not because Stardew Valley doesn’t belong, just as a thing to do. Balatro is neat, but there are like 200 90s CRPGs I’d have to finish before I make that commitment to “8th best PC game of all time”.
There’s literally one single RPG game from 90’s on that list, Planescape Torment, what are you on about? If anything, the list is skewed with how many games there are new ones. I mean Baldur 3 is good but nowhere near the best PC game ever, not even the best PC rpg game ever (that would be KotOR 1 which isn’t even on the list despite worse 2 made it). And too much black horse fads like balatro.
You minsunderstand what I’m saying. My point is that I would have to play all the CRPGs that ever existed before I commit to accepting any game as one of the top 100, especially if it’s a newer game.
There are just too many games on PCs to make this type of generalization in any way that makes sense.
Fair enough.
Disco fucking Elysium, babes! Play it, live it, take it out to dinner!
Then lie down and try not to cry about the corpo bullshit that killed ZA/UM.
The most disco way to go out, though.
There’s a bright side to the ZA/UM mess though: since the team that worked on Disco has split into a bunch of new studios we’re getting at least three spiritual successors instead of Disco Elysium 2.
I keep giving up on Disco Elysium. What makes it so great in your opinion? Hopefully you can awake the Disco beast in me, because I really want to like it
Evolutionary deaths and genuine internal character conflict. It’s one of the VERY few games where you can game over due to ennui.
It’s probably the single most complex dialog tree in gaming even before you take into account it’s wholly original leveling system.
You’re not alone. When I played it I gave up on it after 8 hours. It felt like reading a book with no plot. Nothing really happened during my play time. Except for random deaths that forced me to save scum all the time.
The art style is nice though.
I gotta check this later on pc, this constant text jumping while scrolling is insufferable
Huh i expected this list to be populated by multi shooters but it isn’t that, it’s surprisingly good. I played 33 games on this list and i even agree that half of them should be on that list, though not necessarily with specific placement.
