If you bring development conditions into it surely it is a one man game like Undertale or something.
If we're picking games made by one person, Cave Story has to get a shout in for pioneering the whole indie thing.
If we're talking Nintendo games, Super Metroid was made in under a year by a team of 23 people. Much more impressive IMO.
Majora's Mask is in the running for best game ever with no qualifiers or additional considerations.
Is that really so unusual for the time period, though? The number of people seems fairly normal, and "about a year" sounds like a normal-ish amount of dev time.par for the course for that time, yeah. Probably larger than average team size for 1994, even

so Cyberpunk is the worst game ever?
500 developers, 5+ years in development, overall disappointment
Nobody ever made an indie game before cave story, sorry shareware devs

Oh easily Resident Evil 6 by this metric. I believe it had around a thousand people working on it, a gigantic budget, and it came out as a much worse game as well as a huge disappointment.

What happened with its development?After working with Miyamoto for 3 years to make Ocarina of Time they started work on Ura Zelda/Master Quest content for the 64DD.
MM7 was the worst Mega Man game though. It's clear they didn't realize the perils of having a gigantic Mega Man sprite.
otherwise, it's a pain in the ass to have to re-execute all of the puzzles you just did because you started whatever you were working on too late in the cycleThere's checkpoints built in to every pre-dungeon puzzle and mid-dungeon checkpoints too. You only ever have to redo the last like 10 minutes (for main path things... some side stuff can require a lot of redo)
I always farmed the lizard things in the north

In that case, I can agree with 7!
