I bought a Xbox 360 in late 2008 I think, had owned many machines before then, most recently a PS2 and a Gamecube (my ex took that one with her in 2007). Knew a guy that played Halo 3 with his friends, and wanted me to play with them. Also bought a Wii so I could play with a girl I was dating, and because I enjoy Nintendo That was how the decade ended.

In the 2010s I've continued playing FIFA, Football Manager, and Halo games. They are series that continue to bring me joy. I have bought many games that are higher rated, but ended up just playing them for a few hours or less. I've limited my list to one game per franchise, and have only picked games that I have put a lot of hours into. For FIFA, FM and Halo, I've picked games that were brilliant for their time, although I most likely would play newer versions now.

I now own an Xbox One X and a Nintendo Switch, and mostly choose the below games based on my experiences with those:

Halo Reach
Football Manager 2014
FIFA 17
Destiny
Star Wars Battlefront 2
Red Dead Redemption 2
Battlefield 1
Civilzation 6
Mario Kart 8
Super Mario Maker 2
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Pinball FX3 / Star Wars Pinball
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Super Mario Odyssey
Monster Hunter: World
Cuphead
Forza Horizon 4 / Forza Motorsport 7
Tekken 7
Call Of Duty Infinite Warfare
Celeste
Hollow Knight

Get the newest fifa for the Volta mode, it's awesome

Buy it for the Xbox, for whatever reason the switch version didn't include it (bums me out)

Looks fun. I've got the last three FiFAs and have bought several previous versions. FIFA 19 is the one I've played least, but I'll probably end up getting this one as well.

This is what i can come up with after a quick look through my collection. My only stipulation was that i had to have beaten the game, and either played it multiple times or plan to. In no real order:

GOATs:
The Last of Us
RDR 1 & 2
Portal 2
Assassins Creed Black Flag
Bloodborne
GTAV
Skyrim
Witcher 3
Far Cry 3/4/5
Fallout New Vegas

Fucking great:
Horizon Zero Dawn
Mass Effect 2/3
Infamous
MGSV
Borderlands
Shadow of Mordor
Bioshock 2/Infinite
Battlefront 2
Assassins Creed Origins/Odyssey
Fallout 4

All that probably really says about me is that my tastes aren't all that eclectic and I mostly just like open world/sandbox RPG type games. and Bethesda has obtained an awful lot of my money.

Legend of Zelda: Link Between Worlds and Skyward Sword both deserve a mention. Not too many 3DS games mentioned by RMers.

Portal 2 -- Awesome mechanic but it got old fast.

This is absurd to me. That game is a masterpiece, and the core mechanic was kept fresh throughout IMO.

I forgot about Portal 2 as a game released in this decade. Lots of laughs playing it in co-op with my college pal after we moved to separate towns.

The Walking Dead: Season One was another game that really stood out at the time, but I've since forgotten.
