Top 10 Games of All Time

Top 10 Games of All Time

Author: Andrew Bascom and Mikey Ehrenworth September 10, 2024 Duration: 1:53:45

This is a big one, D-Pads!

We've finally decided to tackle the list to end all lists! We've danced around it since the beginning of our podcast, but now that we're 6 years deep and just around the corner from a massive change to our release schedules, we decided to give the people what they want: our lists of the top 10 games of all time!

Is it subjective? Sure!

Does that mean you'll still get extremely upset with us for not including Final Fantasy? Also sure!

Before getting into the lists, Andrew breaks down his first impressions of Star Wars: Outlaws, and Mikey turns his nose up at Lies of P.

Remember those games you spent hours on as a kid, the ones that felt like perfect worlds? The Retrograde: A Video Game Podcast is a weekly conversation between hosts Andrew Bascom and Mikey Ehrenworth that digs into exactly that feeling. They don't just offer a simple review; instead, they revisit the titles that defined a generation-both the celebrated classics and the notorious flops-to ask a tougher question. With the clarity of adulthood, do these childhood favorites actually hold up? The discussion naturally blends personal nostalgia with a critical eye, often wandering into related pop culture from film and TV, all delivered with a casual, comedic tone. Listening to this podcast feels like hanging out with friends who share your specific, deep-cut gaming memories, debating whether that legendary 10/10 score was ever truly earned or if it's time for a more honest reassessment. It's less about definitive rankings and more about the fun and sometimes painful process of looking back.
