00s > 90s > 10s > 80s

I think the the leap in technical advancements at the dawn of the 6th Gen really jumpstarted a period of creativity in gameplay, storytelling, & genre experimentation that continued well into the 7th gen, that I think has been pretty unmatched since.

90s are no slouch either, especially with all the interesting titles constantly coming out on PC at the time. Plus, I just love the aesthetic of blocky PS1/N64 graphics that give those games an undeniably unique charm that makes them a joy to play even if some of the gameplay aspects have been improved since.

The 10s have for sure seen some quality titles but at the same time a lot of the biggest games can tend to feel homogenized. The explosion of the indie scene does make a great case for this decade, however with so many throwback titles, to the 90s in particular, it almost makes the case for me that the 90s do deserve to be higher.

And the 80s were just a mess, but I always find it interesting tracing back genres to the very, very 1st roots and seeing how it has evolved over time. Once again, the PC scene at the time definitely deserves a second glance and serves as a welcome retreat from a lot of NES shovelware.
