Fuck off with this industry bullshit. Eurogamer. Veilguard is shit, Indiana can be in the lower half of the 50 and Nine Sols, which is a better game than 75% of those is absent.
Another odd list, I wonder if the quality of the journalism is correlated with how soulless their end of list looks like.
What’s odd about it?
Eurogamer as a website is just stuck in a tailspin now. I used to really like the site but now it’s in resale hell - thrown like a rugby ball to conglomerate after conglomerate where the only noticeable difference is more adverts on screen, and more pieces based on Twitter posts masquerading as journalism.
Thankfully, spinoffs like as Digital Foundry are still doing very very well and largely immune to whatever the fuck is going on at EG.
I don’t even know where to look for decent gaming news now if I’m honest.
Well, one thing is that it is a ranking of 50 games without a word of explanation how this ranking was created. Who says #37 is better than #38 is better than #39 is better than #40? And then also, if this is a ranking, why make it that big in the first place? Different people have different tastes, but a ranking says #1 is the best game, #2 the second-best, #3 the third-best - who should care for the 50th-best one if there were 49 better games this year alone?
