56. FINAL FANTASY XIV: SHADOWBRINGERS
(Square Enix)
36 points, listed 4 times, #1 1 time


There may have been controversy around the voting rules but it pays off for Final Fantasy XIV as it makes its first of two appearances in our countdown. Is this a good sign for Endwalker? Only time will tell…

VG: Why do they call it Final fantasy when we are talking about the 14th, eh? And airplane peanuts?! What is the deal with them?

Shadowbringers is what took me from a casual fan of the game and had me telling all my friends they had to play it and catch up. It went from a game I really liked to one of my top ten of all time.

Endwalker pushes it into the top 3 of all time for me.

I've been playing since HW and was playing it a lot in Stormblood but still was pretty casual, yeah. Shadowbringers just loving ratcheted it up three levels. It's amazing.

54. DARK SOULS III
(FromSoft)
37 points, listed 5 times, #1 1 time


Here we go with our second Soulsborne entry as Dark Souls III shows up for the first time in our countdown. This game came out five years ago but it’s still getting love from the FromSoft faithful!

VG: A very righteous position for an extremely wonderful ‘3’ in a trilogy. Maybe even the best ‘3’ of any trilogy.

It’s safe to say that we’ve not seen the last of the Last of Us! Now the eagle eyed among you may have spotted that 37 points from 4 lists gives TLoU2 an average score of 9.25. That is high but it’s not the highest average in our countdown…
