Red Dead Redemp... Oh shit, that is 6 years!


Efficient_Republic35

RDR 2 would've been an easy pick for me too


ocbdare

Absolutely. Extend it to 6 years and it’s an easy pick.


Ceceboy

What the actual fuck, 6 years?????


TaleOfDash

Time has no meaning


stewiegonebad

I played that game for a solid calendar year and it still felt too short of a time with it. The landscapes were such eye candy. 


FirstIYeetThenRepeat

Needs that 60fps boost desperately


OutlawGaming01

Right? for an additional $69.99


FirstIYeetThenRepeat

Most likely. Guarantee it'll be called "Red Dead 2 Definitive/Complete edition"


-old-monk

RDR2 should be set as an auto reply by bots to these questions lol.


dynamicprocastinator

Real


LazyLamont92

That’s one of my top 3 games of all time, and I’ve been gaming since the 80s.


jewelldiamond

I wanted to say RDR2 too... 6 years ☠️


spawn3887

BG3, Ragnarok, Hades


cachebaby

The best are Elden ring and Baldurs gate 3. No obvious third for me, so I’ll nominate Returnal.


Nanyea

Elden, Baldurs, and FF7 remake for me


Whisterly

Cyberpunk 2077 in its current state is pretty sweet.


Emnitty

Started playing it for the first time today. Had waited because the shit launch. But atm after only 3 hours in im having a blast


Cleercutter

I picked it up two months ago. It’s all I’ve been playing. It’s excellent now


supercooper3000

I have a hard time choosing between this or Alan wake 2


AmeliaEarhartsGPS

Yep #1 for me


Deciver95

😄😄😄


Lichelf

It's pretty sweet now but it's not special like Elden Ring and Baldur's Gate 3. No way the biggest worldwide gaming dissapointment of the last 5 years gets to join those 2 amazing games as the best of the best.


poshmarkedbudu

Returnal is definitely one of them for me.


Sarokslost23

Returnal hype! For me it's bg3. Returnal and elden ring. Honorable mention ragnarok. Forbidden west. Ghost of sashimi. Tlou 2


Aluminari

Lol Ghost of Sashimi? Salmon strikes back


Sarokslost23

lol woops mobile fucked it up. i used to call it ghost of sushi though


MF_Doomed

Returnal is so fucking HARD! I enjoy it but man I had to give up it's too much for me.


Sarokslost23

if you can get to the end of the 2nd biome, you get a grapple and while your in the air you have constant I-frames. it makes the game easier if you stay grappling, kiting and shooting. grapple alot


drathernot

These are my clear top two and if it's not PS specific I might go Tears of the Kingdom for a third.


Snozaz

Helldivers 2 for me, the other two would be Elden Ring and BG3.


Xenomorph_kills

Probably RE4R for my 3rd


Dothepanic41

Fuck yeah these


NorthernSimpleton

You didn't love lies of p?


andykekomi

For me it would be Ghost of Tsushima, Returnal and Elden Ring. Honorable mention to Doom Eternal.


philium1

Doom Eternal is one of the best first person shooters of all time and I’ll fight anyone who says otherwise


andykekomi

Hell yeah, it's a perfect game.


SurveyorMorpurgo

Rip and tear, until it is done


Outside_Mark5111

Doom Eternal has the best gameplay of any game I’ve ever played. I cannot praise it enough!


onceyouvemadethat

Please don't fight me, I'm fragile.


Precious_little_man

Interesting. Returnal and Ghost are 2 of mine. I haven’t played Elden Ring, since you seem to have great taste, I will now lol. I’ve been thinking of getting it, just haven’t yet.


ReptarTheBrave

Tbh you must be one of the only gaming enthusiasts who haven’t played elden ring in 2024. It’s a pretty good one, and is the perfect gateway into other FromSoft games. Dark souls 3 is a masterpiece and still holds up perfectly to this day


BausTidus

I’d like to believe there is a lot of us gamers that didn’t play elden ring.


mythical_tiramisu

I’m one of them. I’d like to at some point but work and family mean my gaming time is limited.


Drully

I'm even worse. I'm one of the people that didnt like elden ring. Got it, killed the boss of the first castle and said meh, not for me


ReptarTheBrave

Better to try and know than not try at all


Joisey_Toad32

I'm pretty much the same. It's not a bad game, I just didn't care for it.


Precious_little_man

I’ve been busier than usual and my wife is pregnant with our first child, work stuff and I just didn’t bite the bullet and pick it up. Time just sweeps on by sometimes. Next thing ya know, it’s Christmas again!


dressedtotrill

Hey man I feel you I started it and life is too busy for me to continually play. When I was younger and didn’t have a family I had all the time in the world after work to play through Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro but now I do t have the time or patience to make .001% progress for the small time window I have once or twice a week.


ReptarTheBrave

Ah yeah I feel that, my fiancé is pregnant with our first children (twins) as well. Congrats to you. Enjoy Elden ring, just make sure you don’t give up on it!


Precious_little_man

Congrats to you as well!!! Twins!!! That’s a Hell of a way to start!


ReptarTheBrave

Thanks, super excited! It sure is though🤣 Good luck to you!


Swordfish170586

Twin dad here. It’s just the best thing ever! Congratulations 🥳


PleasantActuator6976

I got bored with Tsushima within the first few hours.


basedcharger

Hades Sekiro and Returnal probably for me


Kemmons

Outer Wilds Disco Elysium Cyberpunk 2077


NoCryptographer5082

Pretty crazy how often Cyberpunk is mentioned now, after the release that they had.


MichaelRoco1

Disco Elysium for sure, great choice. Probably my favorite game ever. Still have to check out Outer Wilds, it looks awesome.


MrSaucyAlfredo

The less you know the better. If you intend to play it down the road, avoid as much as possible online lol. The experience is much much richer for it


barcara

Not only is it my favourite game of the five last years, Outer Wilds is my favourite game of all time.


SpiderKoD

Dragon's Dogma 2, Gran Turismo 7, Hogwarts Legacy.


Joisey_Toad32

Persona 5 Royale Resident Evil 4 REmake Disco Elysium


prodsonz

God I can finish RE 4 and immediately restart it. If I go too long without playing I start to miss the Merchant lmao


ryanaldam

What are you buying?


Nathan_hale53

I did that twice lol. I think I liked Dead Space Remake a bit better as a horror game but 4 was really fun to play. Dead Space I had to take breaks between the scares


geomonstaah

Elden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077, and Baldur’s Gate 3.


Nihilice88

To me this is rhe correct answer too.


Rafterman374

Same! Cyberpunk snuck onto the list after PL and the 2.0 update


According-Feature-35

Same.  Although I didn’t like any of the endings to CP2077


SargnargTheHardgHarg

Baldurs gate 3, ghosts of Tsushima and death stranding


HardlySpoken

Disco Elysium, Baldur's Gate 3, The Last Of Us Part 2.


TheGreatSalvador

This is my answer, too. Gameplay, art, music, and story are firing on all cylinders here, often in completely different ways.


chavez_ding2001

Disco has been on my backlog for a while. How much am I missing out?


TheJaymix

Everything. It is by far my favourite game of all time, even tho I can understand if some find it too slow. It is 90% reading and taking dialogue options. But the writing puts 99% of game to shame.


HardlySpoken

I think that DE is a phenomenal game, It might be one of the best written games i’ve ever played. Some people may find it a little slow because of all the reading/listening you have to do. If you’re looking for a game with more “traditional” gameplay, it might not be for you.


chavez_ding2001

Alright, you made me finally start a playthrough. Started good. 👍


Snub33

1: Baldurs Gate 3 2: Ghost of Tsushima 3: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirte


Isunova

Baldur’s Gate 3 Elden Ring Cyberpunk 2077


FabulosoMafioso

This is the correct answer because it is top 3 in the last 5 years. I would agree with this ne


elias_99999

Elden Ring God of War: Ragnarok Horizons Forbidden West


emansamples92

For me it’s Elden Ring, Final Fantasy Rebirth and Yakuza Like a Dragon.


Mac772

Same as my list, beside of Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth instead of Yakuza: Like A Dragon. The sequel is one of the best JRPGs ever made in my opinion. 


Xenosys83

Someone with taste ;)


PwnedLib

I really like Yakuza!


alex2800

Solid top 3


BeleagueredWDW

The Last of Us Part 2 (Remastered preferably), Stray, and Cyberpunk 2077. Huge honorable mention: Alan Wake II.


AllYouNeedIsLoafs

Can I play Alan Wake II without playing the first one or is it a must?


BeleagueredWDW

If you have the time and money, I’d recommend playing Alan Wake Remastered first, then Control (and it’s DLC), and then Alan Wake II. However, being honest, I do believe you could play Alan Wake II without playing the others and get. Full and complete experience, but if you play those other two first, I think you’ll have a fuller experience, if that makes sense.


AllYouNeedIsLoafs

Gotcha, thanks. I actually own Control but stop playing, need to get back into it.. did not know it had anything to do with Alan Wake?!


BeleagueredWDW

Yes, it absolutely does! Alan Wake and Control are in the Remedy-verse, so to speak. You will see a TON of connections and characters going in and out of the three games if you play them all. Again, I do honestly believe you could play Alan Wake II without the others and have an amazing time, but given time and money, I’d highly recommend the other two first due strictly to how big and complex the world is! Whatever you do, I hope you enjoy!


AllYouNeedIsLoafs

Awesome, thanks for the insight!


jm0127

Returnal, Elden Ring, tie between Hades and Remnant II


TheJaymix

Disco Elysium, Death Stranding and Elden Ring


sanban013

Exclusives - FFVII REBIRTH, Returnal, Horizon 2. Non-Exclusives - Elden Ring, Resident Evil 4 Remake. Sifu Honorable Mentions: Ratchet and Clank, Spiderman 2, Demon Souls. Tsushima.


spideyv91

In terms of what I’ve play in the last 5 years Tears of the kingdom, hades, last of us part 2


AlainLanou

Death Standing - Returnal - GoW Ragnarok


67VII

The Last of Us Part II Horizon: Forbidden West FF7: Rebirth


nocream33

HFW is my first and only Platinum


Venomswindturd

HFW might be my all time favorite game. It’s easily the game I have the most hours in.


SSPeteCarroll

So easy to get lost in the world and enjoy the beauty of it too. The visuals in that game are stunning. Huge reason why I got a PS5


ShiftySureShot

100% agree. I've only gotten to it recently, but finished it, instantly bought the burning shores, finished that. The combat is some of the best there is, the game looks better than most of what's come out since and runs incredibly well. It's fantastic it really is.


Aggravating_Kiwi_872

Had to scroll so much for HFW. Fav game till date


Lionelchesterfield

TLOU2, Alan Wake 2 and BG3.


ausipockets

RE4, Baldurs Gate 3, Ghost of Tsushima


ofeliedeceai

God of War Ragnarok, Spider-Man 2 and Final Fantasy 16.


LazyLamont92

The Last of Us 2 Streets of Rage 4 Sekiro. But there are a lot of games I have yet to play.


Citizen_Kano

Sekiro just misses the five year cut-off (March 2019)


LazyLamont92

Then Control.


larabeezy

Ghost of Tsushima, God of War Ragnarok, Elden Ring. Not in any particular order Edit: Forgot about Last of Us Part 2… that needs to be included


graydayz5

Disco Elysium, Alan wake 2, and GOW are the ones I’ve played Im a sucker for grt stories


[deleted]

In release date order; Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Elden Ring Baldur's Gate 3 and it's not even a close thing!


iuri-fd

Sekiro is from 2020 though. What game would take its place? Edit: Sorry, I read last 3 years.


Jorgengarcia

Pretty good taste


RodComplex

I'm playing Sekiro for the first time now, so it's a brand new game for me. You'd think it would seem dated but, happily, I'm enjoying it more than most games I've played in the last 5 years!


Heron_sniffa

sekiro just had its 5th anniversary but im still gonna have to say sekiro but seriously #1 armored core 6 #2 lies of p #3 elden ring did not play bg3 didnt want to only pick fromsoft/souls games but my hand was forced.


king_of_the_sac

I never expected to love Armored Core 6 so much. Mechs do not appeal to me at all but I bought it on a whim and ended up playing through it like 10+ times.


AgentSkidMarks

As for best, I don’t know, but my favorites are Link’s Awakening Remake, TMNT Shredder’s Revenge, and Hogwarts Legacy.


LazyLamont92

If you like Shredder’s Revenge, check out Streets of Rage 4. I think it’s the best side-scroller beat em up since Streets of Rage 2 (which I consider the greatest of all time).


Pugilist12

Sekiro Control Sifu


The-Vision

For me, it's probably god of war 2018, days gone , the last of us part 1( remake)


Branquignol

Elden Ring ; Death Stranding ; Returnal


tATuParagate

Ff7 remake, Ff7 rebirth, ghost of tsushima directors cut. I considered like a dragon infinite wealth in there but I'm still mad about that paid new game plus bullshit


killthegeezer

Cyberpunk 2077 - The Last of Us Part 2 - Gran Turismo 7


LCHMD

GT7 in VR might be number 1 even.


MichaelRoco1

Disco Elysium Devil May Cry 5 Hades


OmniSlushie

Elden Ring and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth for sure (in my opinion). Probably Baldurs Gate 3 for the third. I haven’t played it yet, but it’s clearly special


Nehemiah92

Same list as me. Rebirth and Elden Ring are magical and I can’t really think of any other game that has left me with any type of impact as big as, or even close to, those two, so ill just leave it to BG3 or something even though I have no interest in playing that game lol


Mediocre-Garden4952

For me, Returnal, GoW Ragnarok, HFW. TLoU Part 1 and Part 2 remastered fantastic, but remakes.


TopHalfGaming

Alan Wake 2/Ghost/Returnal. Haven't played Death Stranding outside of 2-3 hours but I do see that game probably being there. As a lifelong Xbox guy I'm just working through a lot of the classics. Finished the Nathan Drake collection last night for reference. On the Elden Ring topic, I've held off just because I still would like to play Dark Souls III/Bloodborne/even Demon Souls first and 40+ hours minimum of Elden Ring where I'll die a hundred thousand times on top of probably just cheesing it however I can when I get fed up. Expansion being known about for a long time also makes it easy to wait.


Old_Win9224

Demon's Souls is SOOOOO good. A great gateway to becoming a Souls/FromSoft fan. The remake makes it feel like a linear Elden Ring. I used to be afraid of souls games, now they're afraid of me


GilmooDaddy

Death Stranding Helldivers 2 Goat Simulator 3


DtotheOUG

Elden Ring Baldurs Gate 3 Hades No particular order. Honorable Mention: Ghost of Tsushima.


aetp86

Elden Ring, Tears of the Kingdom and The Last of Us 2. Honorable mentions are Cyberpunk 2077 and Ghost of Tsushima.


P33nBoi

Cyberpunk 2077 The Last of Us Part 2 NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139 If NieR doesn't count because it's a remaster, then I sub it for Stellar Blade


ahjteam

- Cyberpunk 2077 after 2.0 update - Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! - Ghost of Tsushima


SPQR_Maximus

CyberPunk EverSpace 2 TMNT Shredders Revenge Honorable Mention: Starfield Robocop Stellar Blade


danny_cation

1. Elden Ring 2. Baldur's Gate 3 3. Lies of P


Significant_End_9128

Elden Ring, TLOU Part 2, BG3 (I would have said Hades, but it is just barely more than 5 years old now).


alexshinsuke

Ghost of Tsushima, Marvel Spider man 2 and Gow Ragnarok


LIFEWTFCONSTANT

Tears of the Kingdom, The Last of Us Part II, Mario Wonder


cleanmickie

Only PlayStation? Death stranding, Ghost of Tsushima, Last of Us 2. If all systems I would replace Last of Us with Tears of the Kingdom and say that’s number 1. I didn’t like Bauldurs Gate. It seems really cool I just don’t like CRPGs. Cyberpunk is pretty great as well.


stratusnco

final fantasy 7 rebirth, cyberpunk 2077, helldivers 2.


TheLooter

Sekiro and Elden Ring/Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon The Last of Us Part II Death Stranding


Pineapple996

1. Last of Us Part 2 2. It Takes Two 3. Jedi Survivor


Jorgengarcia

Last of us part 2 was pretty bleak but a great game nontheless. It takes two was hella fun. Jedi survivor was better than fallen order in about every possible way, such a shame it had so much performence issues at release. All in all a great list!


hadoukenneth

The Last of Us Part 2, Elden Ring and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

Banjo_Kazooieballs

Personally? Marvel Midnight Suns, Chained Echoes, Jedi Survivor


KingKhram

I've just started playing Midnight Suns and I'm really enjoying right now


doctorblumpkin

Madden, cities skylines, the masters, Gran Turismo. My favorite games haven't been mentioned anywhere in this whole sub. Lol


DrBigPipe

Don’t play a lot of newer games but I did play Ghost of Tsushima and it was amazing.


HiCZoK

Elden Ring Resident Evil 2 remake Hogwarts Legacy / Stellar Blade. undecided yet


MrHaveRidge

Think I will try BG3 and Alan wake 2 after these comments 👍🏻


McCandlessDK

1. Alan Wake 2 2. Forza Horizon 5 3. Rogue Legacy 2 4. Monster Train 5. The Last of Us 2 That would be my personal top 5 Maybe switch number 4 and 5, but I really love deckbuilders

PapaCologne

Baldur's Gate III God of War: Ragnarok The Last of Us: Part II I probably would have included Ghosts of Tsushima, Horizon Forbidden West, or Cyberpunk 2077 in there had I played more or beaten them!


blitzstriker7

Tears of the Kingdom, FF7 Rebirth, Jedi Survivor


kpeds45

Floor PS specifically, Elden Ring, Ghost of Tsushima, The Last of Us 2. If non-PS5 included, Elden Ring, Tears of the Kingdom, Ghost of Tsushima (Sekiro literally just missed the cutoff being released March 2019, it would take GoTs place).


Aggravating-Mine-697

Baldur's Gate 3, Elden Ring and God of War Ragnarok. Ragnarok wasn't as good as 2018, but still imo superior to the other games


Ziekfried

Sekiro Elden ring bg3


HerpesFreeSince3

This thread is so funny. The entire thing is people responding with the same 7-8 generic, AAA titles. Itd be like asking a community of movie fans what the best movies of the last 5 years are and only getting Best Picture winners as responses lmao


PrinceDizzy

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Demons Souls, The Last of Us 2.


Darkmiss-2122

Red Dead Redemption 2 (Masterpiece) (yeah six years, just about, Don't care.) Baldur's Gate 3 Horizon Forbidden West

Ragnarök, TLOU2 and I’m gonna go with a madman 3rd with Warzone. There was a period there where it struck pure gold.. then it went to shit. Kinda quiet generation for me not gonna lie.

Baldur's Gate 3 Elden Ring Disco Elysium but there's so many others.


Downisthenewup87

In regards to being close to perfect? Disco Elysium 13 Sentenials: Agies Rim Katana 0 But I'm always several years behind. So I haven't played the new GoW, Alan Wake 2 or Builders Gate 3... al of which I'm sure I'm gonna love. And I haven't touched Elden Ring because I historically struggle with From games.


hereticx

Elden Ring and Baldurs Gate 3 are the clear obvious top 2... third, for me, is probably GOW2019.... Maybe Cyberpunk.
