GQ has compiled a list of the 100 best games of all time, according to developers, journalists and bloggers – Assassin’s Creed did not find a place in the ranking

Ranking is a thankless task, especially when it comes to the best of the best. Nonetheless, the magazine GQ has set out to identify and encourage 100 great video games of all time “his friends”.

We are talking about 300 developers, journalists and bloggers, including employees of well-known gaming media (IGN, PC Gamer, GameSpot, Video Games Chronicle, Polygon) and streamers (Ninja, Sunpi, Autumn).

As for the personalities, Neil Druckmann, Raphael Colantonio, Joseph Fares, Tim Schafer, Sam Barlow, and Dan Houser shared their opinions with GQ and other creators.

Each participant achieved a personal top 10. The first-place project was awarded 10 points and the tenth-placed project was awarded one. Of the 300 invitees, 239 gave an individual rating. No fewer than 652 games received at least one vote.

The last list is “a mix of new, old and very old, blockbusters and indies of all genres from studios in all corners of the world”. The game in first place not only collected the most points, but also became the personal favorite more often than others.
