Thanks!

Also, that list is terrible. Where the fuck is Elden Ring, Polygon!? No LoZ, any of them? XCOM: UFO Defense is the first and the absolute best of all XCOM entries....by far.

Outer Wilds, Hollow Knight, Subnautica? These aren't even old games...

And Satisfactory beat out Factorio? Lol, m'kay Polygon...sure.

[–] AFallingAnvil@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

LoZ?

Also gonna disagree with your XCOM comment, it's far too dated to make this kind of list, even if the core loop is solid. With workshop support XCOM2 pulls ahead.

XCOM: Original allows for insane strategy. It's dated, I don't disagree, but it had so much more strategy and immersion than atleasr the first modern XCOM. You could build your own bases, you got raided, you had to find enemy bases and maintain funding throughout world map. The game was legendary.

One of the most fun being, use flight armor and 2x alien grenade launchers. Breach top most point on battleship to expose command center, and then nuke the ship commander and body guards with second launcher. Swoop in with forces. Win.

Ignore the LoZ. I forgot it was PC games only. Whoops lol

I played several LoZ games on PC. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–] Alteon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

ROM's are the best.

[–] OttoVonNoob@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

The truth is they could of picked any PC exclusive games that example how great PC can be. Instead they pick Fortnite.. Baldurs Gate 3, StarSector, any game with endless mods, any art software games... Like lazy

That’s where Polygon’s What to Play comes in: We curate the best, most innovative, and most intriguing games on every platform, so you can spend less time searching, and more time playing.

It is from their own list of games.

what were they thinking!?

If you buy something from a Polygon link, Vox Media may earn a commission.

Maybe something like "Which companies are giving us the biggest commission on referrals currently?"

[–] alessandro@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Well, I guess make them the best... for Polygon's
