well yeah but the point is that 20 years later we're still calling them two of the greatest games ever made

Are there any games made in the last 5 years that kids and teens will still be hailing as one of the best games ever 20 years from now?

That's sort of an impossible question, I think. Asking a group of older people, who believe the greatest game(s) of all time came during their youth, about if there are games that could stand the test of time for young people today is a little difficult. Undoubtedly, there are cultural phenomenons that have stood the test of time already (Minecraft, League of Legends), and there are others that have only just recently came out that *could* be that (Overwatch, Fortnite, PUBG), but they're going to have to wait until people can reflect on them in that way.

The "greatest game of all time" will probably come in the form of a service--a socially connected, multiplayer-based, streamable experience that forsakes telling a beginning to end story, and is more about individual player stories about what they did or accomplished in the game. There will be that divide in how people feel about it because the games will look so different from what people like us consider the best games of all time, but that's always been the case!
