    Fuck yes Dwarf Fortress came in at #16, that’s 15 places too low of course… but it’s pretty close to correct.

    Kinda meh list. No mobas, either LoL or Dota2. No racing games, NFS underground or NFS Most wanted should be on that list. Not even the OG Modern Warfare which should 100% be on any top 100 games of all time list. Too many games that were released in the last 5 years.

    And it’s not like the list is that stacked you couldn’t fit those games in. Dave the diver? Really? I enjoyed Dave the Diver but I’d put Fez higher than Dave the Diver. Ghosts of Tsushima? Even they themselves say that game does nothing revolutionary or unique. You could throw out either Morrowind or Skyrim because they 90% overlap. Armored Core is there only because they love From. I love From but I don’t think that fits the 100 and I think Sekiro barely fits. I think you can also throw out Prey (2017) because you already have Deus Ex and the latter has been far more influential.

    And no Terraria? I’m just going to stop. The more I think about the list the angrier I get about how bad that list is.
