I was afraid to see what their opinions would be, but it wasn't a bad selection! Ana

Interesting selection of games. I noticed there were two Wadjet Eye games. And I was glad to see Soma on the list too.

They're also missing Syberia, The Lost Crown and The Cat Lady. Also, I suppose they aren't well known enough, but if it were me, I would include Culpa Innata and The Moment of Silence. It is a really good, comprehensive list, though. I was happy to see Life is Strange included as well as Gabriel Knight (and at least my favorite of the series, GK2, got a mention), Grim Fandango, The Walking Dead, and of course, The Longest Journey. All fantastic games.

Yes, that's a shame. I prefer third person myself, but I definitely agree more first person games should have been included, as there are many that enjoy them. Perhaps more people should have worked on the list, so there would have been more variety in the choices. I'm guessing he's not a Syberia fan either? Also, while I'm really enjoying it, I'm not sure about the inclusion of Kathy Rain. I think it follows the original Gabriel Knight a little too closely to stand out with the other adventure games. (I do look forward to seeing what else the developers come up with, though, because I definitely think it's a very good game.) I think if he was including this year's games, Oxenfree is more original and deserved a mention. I watched some Her Story on YouTube, and while I found it interesting, I don't really feel the need to get it myself. I feel like I've seen all I need to based on a playthrough. Nice subgenre game but not something I'd want to play again and again. Also, it seems he really favors Day of the Tentacle. I love that game, but I think he loves it a lot more.

I wonder why Under A Killing Moon was not on the list.

One could say that about a LOT of games! Someone else's opinion of "best" games does not necessarily translate to our own opinions of our favorites.

Interesting list and some I wasn't aware of. Must check them out. Always good to get other opinions, regardless of whether I agree.
Quantity has a quality all of its own
