While Half-Life 2 has lost some stock in our minds, it hasn't in everyone's. It was in our top 10, but didn't even make it into the Readers' Top 100. We like Spelunky a lot more than everyone else. If you want a condensed sense of how our tastes differ from those surveyed, here are a few observations: Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Editionįor reference, the top 10 games on our list this year were: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Dark Souls, Dishonored 2, XCOM 2, Portal 2, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Mass Effect 2, Alien: Isolation, Doom (2016), and Spelunky.The danger is that a write-in-only list might be more easily swayed by organized campaigns (though that certainly happened anyway), and for this first attempt, I wanted to include a baseline to build off of just in case the suggestions were too scattered, or too homogeneous. My totally unscientific method does cause a few problems, namely: how much more do you weigh the write-in votes? A multiplier of three produced the most interesting list in this case, though next year I may ditch that tactic all together and take write-ins only.
I then compiled the votes (1,445 of them), weighing the write-ins more highly than the picks from our list, given that it's much more likely that 50 people would chose the same game from a list of 100 than all write in the same game. Last week, I asked you to pick your top two games from our Top 100 list, and suggest two games to add. But this year, we decided it would be fun to transform the heated comment threads under our list into a list of their own-the Readers' Top 100.
