That's legitimately one of the worst top game lists I've ever read. The recency bias is nuts, but there's no rhyme or reason to it beyond some intern copy and pasting "best games" results from google.

It's the best games of Edge's publication history not all time.

Not that many 30+ year old games make lists like these much anyway.

Edge are always a bit fucky with their reviews, to be fair.

The features in the magazine are excellent, the studio profiles are usually very interesting, and they're great at doing in depth previews of games that would otherwise go under the radar.

But the review scores are usually butt. If it's a AAA open world game on PlayStation or XBox it will get a 6, and if it has an 8-bit aesthetic it won't get less than an 8.

The annoying thing is that the reviews are usually actually pretty well written and well argued, it's just that the scores never usually reflect the content of the review.

4/5 of my favorites are up there, at least:
70. The Last of Us Part II
32. Disco Elysium
28. Red Dead Redemption 2
12. Bloodborne

and while it's not in my top five (it's in my top ten), I'm kind of surprised that Batman: Arkham Asylum didn't make the list. none in the series did.

These top games list will always be sorta fucky because no one will ever end up agreeing on an order, even if they agree with all games listed but this doesn't seem terrible.

Honestly the most glaring one for me is Pokmon Red/Blue being on there. Like yes, it kicked off one of gaming's biggest franchises but that's about it. It was a messy cluster fuck of a game and if you like Pokmon games then at least half the series has a better claim to the list. If you don't like Pokmon games then it just doesn't belong on the list at all.

Yeah even figuring out what 'best' means is tricky.

Is the best game in the series the defining one that has the biggest impact or the iterative sequel that improved on it but isn't as exciting? There's no consensus.

Botw sucks. Totk is better and deserves rank 1. Botw doesn't deserve to be in any top 100 list post 2023. It just takes away the spotlight from Totk.

One of Itsuno's dmc games needs to be added on here too. it can take Totk's previous rank 20 spot or just make it rank 100 idc. Like why is Bayonetta on here but not any of the dmcs. This is totally unfair . That game is not even a true masher.

Zelda games are always super overrated anyway.

BG3 shouldn't be anywhere near top 100 IMO.

Can't take a top 100 seriously if say, Suikoden 2 isn't on there, that game is practically iconic in RPG circles.
