They set a rule that only one game from a series can be on the list. Half-Life 2 probably just beat 1 in the very subjective scoring.
Nah, it is a long list. I missed Dishonored 2 on there.
Good, because it is number 90
Oh, totally. But the folks making the list might not even have thought of it if none of them play it.
No, just saying it would not have made my top 100 list. Seemed like a funny thing to say it is an AI list because of not having Factorio
KOTOR 2 on the list instead of KOTOR is an odd choice, but I do not hate it. With the missing content mod, that game is great
All lists like this are incredibly subjective and by definition about engagement. I wouldn't call it bait, but it was definitely created for engagement. That is not necessarily a bad thing since it can generate some fun discussions.
I'm not AI and I really dislike Factorio. I would say it is a bit of a niche game, but Rimworld also seems niche. Probably just not to anyone at PC Gamer's taste.
The Overwatch 2 update was pretty widely hated, so that might be clouding things. I supposed they did put Destiny 2 on there though. It is for sure weird to not see FFVII or an Arkham game. Or hell, Dishonored.
Edit: Whoops missed Dishonored 2.
I am not into rhythm games at all and I liked Hi-Fi Rush. Just a fun game in general
Sure, but it doesn't blow the statement out of the water. You would have to find out how many times a game was pirated, then compare that to the extra copies sold that make up that 20%. Plus, not everyone who pirates games says that.
There are not even 10 bad games on that list. Might not be to your taste, but that does not make them shit
