Part one: What is the best game to come out of the 80s?
Part two: What is the best game to come out of the 90s?
Part three: What is the best game to come out of the 00s?
This is the fourth part of the series. This is eventually all going to get compiled into one megathread for people who want gaming recommendations from Chapos specifically. Other decades (70s) and consoles will come in sporadic subsequent threads.
Expanding on your choice is definitely a plus.
BOTW - only game that I've ever played through and immediately felt like there was a hole in my soul after the game was over. Like someone took away my favorite toy. Engaging. Thought provoking. Just overall the most fun I've ever had in a single game setting. Also, only Zelda game I've ever played through out of 3 I've tried getting into (Wind Waker and the one that launched with the Wii i never finished/got bored of).
GTA5 - at least the base game (I don't play online). I enjoyed the cinematic storyline. It's a stunning game, visually. Plenty to do and see, for completionists and casual players alike.
Mario Odyssey - I think 3D World kind of bored me and wore it's welcome out in short order, so walking into Odyssey my expectations were low. But 10 minutes into the game I was blown away with the new mechanics and level of freedom Nintendo gave me as the Mario user. Even the music is awe inspiring, like the jazz piece in New Donk City had me mouthing 'wow' as I was playing it. Might be the best Mario game of all time next to SMB3 and SMW.
PT - who knew a demo could fuck with your head that bad? Downloaded it on a whim one night (with no clue what it was or who made it) and my wife and I were locked in for hours, totally creeped out.
Rocket League - first online competitive game of the (then) new generation where I didn't feel the goal was to drain my credit card so I could beat the other team. True game of skill and communication. I just wonder what will happen when the servers turn off.
