The Best Video Games Of The 2010s, Ranked

With so many awesome titles and ground-breaking releases, it’s definitely been a good decade for gamers. While it might be hard to think all the back to the start of the 2010s, there's no denying epic releases like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim helped set the stage for a whole new era of awesomeness. This list covers all the top PC, console, mobile, and arcade games from the last decade and includes everything from Apex Legends to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and more. Some of the best games from the past decade may not be all that original; some may even be remakes of older classics. But regardless of when they were made or how much you played them, they definitely left a lasting impression. Fortnite and Overwatch are easily some of the most popular games of the 2010s, but other titles like Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt also deserve a mention. Ever wondered what the most popular games of the last decade are? Now’s your chance to find out. Vote up all your favorite games of the 2010s.
