I have once again tweaked my top fifty list. I really took a hard look at the list and removed or moved games down that did not speak to me. The biggest factor that I tried to remove was external pressure. That cloud of gaming culture that weighs on me and says come on you have to have Super Mario World on the list, even though Mario 3 and Mario 6 Golden coins were the two games I grew up with. Or the fact that I put Half Life 2 on my last list, even though if I am honest it would barley make my top 100. I also focused on what games stayed with me, a difficult task to compare. Obviously my new number one, Elden Ring, which I have beaten five times this years is more on my mind than the original Halo.
