The Walking Dead VS Life is Strange?
Hale: Reach VS Bastion?

There's room for a close match in a few minutes with Bastion VS TWD.

Life is Strange is terrific despite its flaws, and it filled many of the cracks found in The Walking Dead's model for guilt simulators. LiS is arguably a top ten pick for the decade, at least in my book.

However, against Halo: Reach, it just couldn't release the Kra-can.

2/4 today. Ah well.

Hollow Knight is the surprise here. I don't think HK is that great but it's clearly got a fanbase. I don't expect it to be among the strongest of indie games, but it's reasonable to see it have a chance to be in conversations about that next tier of them. For me, I see its strongest correlating game with Shovel Knight -- nevermind the indy-part and Knight-part, they're both eponymous Kickstarter games with some depth in its other characters, encouraged exploration, had ongoing support, and featured distinct art styles. They are both near the top for indy successes in recent years too, broadly speaking.

I don't think either of them leave the second round, but this looks good for them.

How many?










For me:

10: The Witness
9: Life is Strange: Season 1
8: The Stanley Parable
7: Spec Ops: the Line
6.1: Super Smash Bros. for 3DS
6: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
5: The Legend of Zelda: a Link Between Worlds
4: Portal 2
3: Undertale
2: The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
1: Super Meat Boy

I'm not counting SSB4 since SSBU effectively replaces it, so Spec Ops: the Line is the only contest snub for me...really had doubts on The Witness and the Stanley Parable making it in though.

What about you? I know a bunch of us did lists!

Mass Effect 3 was the run-away favorite in terms of expectations that year despite its ending flopping. People doubled down on this too when ME3 destroyed Diablo 3 in its first poll...I think I only remember Whiskey Nick predicting Borderlands 2 would win that year.

We could have had a much stronger game from that year.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6070-best-game-ever-day-5-uncharted-2-vs-the-walking-dead

Uncharted 2 was doubled by Sonic 2. Fallout 3 may not beat Metroid Prime anymire or break 45% on Brawl anymore, but I don't think TWD is a gimme here.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6074-best-game-ever-day-6-super-mario-world-vs-animal-crossing

This could make AC:NL the favorite thus far on the surface, but also we have question marks here since Underrale beat ME3 that same day as this and LiS's matvh. I'm also not banking on there being a lot of Nintendo SFF between a '90s console platformer and a '10s handheld build-a-town simulator.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6574-best-of-2016-game-of-the-year

Among our weakest years, but Stardew did better than some other indies too.

Mario Odyssey vs Galaxy 2

Again I think this would be a very close match

I thought about this match, but I think this would be a better match with Odyssey/Galaxy 1. Odyssey's the Mario-game of the 2010s.

Still, I'm interested in seeing where SMG2's place in the Nintendo hierarchy is. It probably beats the other Mario games worth noting this decade (3D-games, Mario Kart 8, Mario Maker 1/2)...but I don't think they'd be impressive wins. Could it beat every Pokemon game? Could it beat LoZ:LBW?

Skimming some polls of SMG2 against Nintendo:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7757-whats-your-all-time-favorite-3d-super-mario-game
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7638-which-was-the-best-of-the-3d-super-mario-bros-games
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/4841-what-is-your-favorite-wii-exlcusive-game

Does SMG2 beat Sunshine? Or LoZ:SS? Galaxy 1 is an obvious anchor in these polls.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/4217-best-of-2010-game-of-the-year

SMG2 didn't beat Pokemon HG/SS by a lot here either.

Multi-polls and SFF/LFF galore, but these suggest not to expect miracles in the Nintendo hierarchy.

Then again, looking at 2015 for some actual one-on-one matches.....

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6064-best-game-ever-day-4-super-mario-galaxy-2-vs-mass-effect
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6121-best-game-ever-day-18-round-2-smash-bros-wii-u-vs-mass
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6150-best-game-ever-day-26-round-3-smash-bros-wii-u-vs-final

Tough first round loss, but realistically this is enough to win some matches in this contest.
