I've been playing a lot of Halo Infinite since it launched, and I realized that it's the only game released in 2021 (and thus current generation game) that I've played! That got me thinking more on last gen, and the top games for me from said generation.
I'm going to split the list in two, the original generation launch in Nov. 2013, and then the mid-gen upgrade which started in Nov. 2016 with the PlayStation 4 Pro. I spent the first half of the gen playing on PC, and the mid-gen upgrade I picked up an Xbox One X and added that into the mix:
8th Gen (Nov. 2013 - Nov. 2016)
Best First Person Shooter: Halo: The Master Chief Collection (honourable mention to DOOM (2016)
Best Fighting Game: Mortal Kombat XL (honourable mention to Killer Instinct)
Best Adventure Game: Rise of the Tomb Raider
Best RPG: Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition
Best RTS: StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void
8th Gen Mid-Gen Upgrade (Nov. 2016 - Nov. 2020)
Best First Person Shooter: DOOM: Eternal
Best Fighting Game: Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate
Best Adventure Game: Shadow of the Tomb Raider
Best RPG: __The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition_ (technically came out in Sep. 2016, but it's the only new release RPG I played during this time)
Best RTS: Halo Wars 2
In terms of Game of the Year, that's a tough one as I've really enjoyed all of these games. If you focus strictly on time played, Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate is the game I played most last gen with over 24 days put in it, with Halo: The Master Chief Collection coming in second with 16 days.
What are your top games from the last gen?
