We are slowly approaching this time of the year, which will be dominated by summaries, rankings, lists and lists. We will look back and assess which debuts were the best and which did not meet our expectations. We’ll start fantasizing about what next year might bring and how it compares to the past. Everyone will want to add their two cents on this topic, because it is simply an extremely pleasant topic.
Of course, there may be much more opportunities than the end of the year. For example, the thirtieth birthday – as is currently the case with EDGE Magazine. It is one of the largest video game magazines in the world, which has been published continuously since 1993. Now, on the occasion of the anniversary, they have prepared for us a list of the hundred best games from the past three decades. Take a look at the top twenty :
20. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
19. Outer Wilds
18. Grand Theft Auto III
17. Shadow of the Colossus
16. Deus Ex
15. The Last of Us
14. Final Fantasy VII
13. Minecraft
12. Bloodborne
11. Super Mario Galaxy
10. Doom
9. Elden Ring
8. Portal
7. Half-Life 2
6. Halo: Combat Evolved

If you would like to check the entire list, you can find it, among others, at this link . There are many more and less cult productions there, so you will probably recognize most of them. Let me know if you would arrange the top ten similarly, or maybe some items do not resonate with your taste at all! What’s more, I encourage you to submit your own rankings – it’s always fun!
