To bring light to the darkness, whether that darkness be ignorance, injustice, apathy, or stagnation.
I think 1st has gotta go to 2017, primarily on the strength of, y'know, everything.
The mix of Mario Odyssey, Breath of the Wild, Nier Automata, and Hollow Knight is extraordinarily hard to beat! Splatoon 2, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Divinity 2, Wolfenstein 2, Prey, Sonic Mania, Resident Evil 7, and Cuphead are all also great, and PUBG and Fortnite aren't my thing but they dramatically changed the entire multiplayer shooter market.

2nd is 2007: Mass Effect, Portal, TF2, Mario Galaxy, Bioshock, Assassin's Creed, and Super Paper Mario are all just really good or important games!

I would very narrowly give 3rd to 1998: Ocarina of Time and FF7 are the only games here that I think are actually all that fun to play anymore with how far games have advanced, but there's so many that started famed and celebrated franchises (Starcraft, Metal Gear Solid, Half-Life) or were really solid otherwise (Goldeneye 007, Unreal, Banjo-Kazooie) that it takes it on impact.

Barely missing out is 2004, between MGS3, San Andreas, 3rd gen Pokemon, WoW, and Half-life 2. Better games than 1998, but not enough to make up for the impact.

HMs to 2019, because I love Outer Wilds that much, and 1999, because I love Planescape: Torment nearly as much as Outer Wilds.

once 1998 is discounted due to old boomer goons being nostalgia clouded we can see 2017 takes its rightful number one place. congratulations 2017

justice for 2017

(98's good too I guess)
