Those five rewrote the rules for their respective genres. In raw quality, BG3 sneaks in right after.
It's wild to me to put Clair Obscur, which is no doubt a very good game, even on the same list.

Of the 31 games that won the 'now' votes, rank as many as you can. That could be just voting for your favourite, or a top 3, or 10, or just go mad and rank all 31.
