There's only one game that comes to mind instantly for me, and that's Divinity: Original Sin 2.
I just started playing this 2 weeks ago and i'm addicted to it. Great RPG feel to it. Baldur's gate with better graphics but turn based combat instead of real time with pause. I was skeptical about the turn-based, but i find it very tactical and fun to devise different strategies to win battles.
Witcher 3, hands down, because to me that is the best video game I have played in 30+ years of gaming. That makes me feel old also :-D
In no particular order, just typing it in as they come to me:
Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. (except for this one, which is 1st place)
God of War 2018. (And this one, which is a close 2nd)
Battle Chasers: Night War. (... and this one, which is in 3rd. I promise the rest are unranked :^) )
Super Mario Odyssey.
Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.
Soulsborne.
Assassins Creed (3, Origins, Odyssey).
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.

Part of the reason is that Battlegrounds are like ducks.
Witcher 3
Total War: Attila
Divinity Original Sin: 2
World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria
Rainbow Six Siege
Honorable mentions: Dark Souls 3 and Red Dead Redemption 2.
How are so many people sleeping on Mass Effect 2 and FNV?
I don't even like the genre but DayZ (and thus Arma) had impact on the decade by paying the way from a lot of streaming fads, survival games, and BR games.
Also Skyrim? GTA V? Two games that go people to buy them multiple times.
Resident Cosplay Progressive
Yep, after BG it has the best combat system in any RPG I've played, which is why I love it so much. It is never about figuring out in what way the designers wanted you to beat it, but instead you have tons of tools to play around with, and they all feel impactful and fun to learn and master.
And in case you didn't know, their next project is Baldur's Gate 3. Which is perfect, as I feel they are the only current video game developers I would want in that position.
Horizon: Zero Dawn
God of War (2018)
Last of Us
Skyrim
Spider-Man (2018)
FFXIV
Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Witcher 3
Mass Effect 2
Assassin's Creed Odyssey
WoW: MoP and Legion
There have been other "good" games but none that were noteworthy enough for me to even remember their names, or warranted a place on this list...I just know I played more than those on this list.
Total war warhammer 2 for me. 982 hours played so far which is triple the amount of time played of any other steam game I've played. The only game I've played more is WoW, but I can't give that game of the decade when two of the four expansions of this decade I played I thought sucked (BFA and WoD) and the other two were hit and miss (Legion and Mists. Never played cata, so didn't count that)
I don't know, I only really play WoW and a bit of PoE
If I had to take one game for the decade, and assuming 2009 doesn't count, then I would pick New Vegas in an instant. That, not Witcher 3, set my standards for what an open world RPG can be, and to some extent an RPG period. There were loads of good games this decade, but none engrossed me into a world, its characters and its stories quite as much. And that's worth going through the terrible graphics and lousy gunplay, both of which can be improved with mods.
I'm wary of Bethesda, now more than ever, but if they announce a New Vegas remaster that touches up the graphics and gameplay without altering anything else, they can take all my money. Fat chance, I know, but hey they did re-release Skyrim almost literally a dozen times.
Woo! This was harder then I thought, but I have my favorite/top 5 games:
Elder Scrolls Skyrim
Stardew Valley
Borderlands 2
Witcher 3
The Long Dark
Top 3 for me:
1) Horizon Zero Dawn
2) God of War
3) Witcher 3
