Dark Souls 2 holds up better than the third game. It tries to do its own thing where the latter is a best of kind of deal but is really bland and guided.
Fallout 4's fundamental changes to moment-to-moment gameplay (i.e the shooting) make it a more enjoyable experience overall compared to FO3 and NV. Not to say there weren't a lot of negative changes in other departments, but this one I feel is good, and is a reason why the New Vegas fan remake in FO4 excites me.

This.
Also, FF XIV, I really enjoyed the first quests, fates and dungeons of A Realm Reborn, everyone told me I was gonna be bored to death. Gotta admit, Heavensward and Stormblood are much better, but that doesn't mean ARR is bad.
I have been playing and praising Morphies Law for the past few days and, post patch, I believe that it is a better game than Paladins or Overwatch.
Final Fantasy VIII is a game frequently misunderstood by people who either hated that it wasn't VII or have blurry memories of the last time they played it 20 years ago. Yes it has flaws and I'm fine with people that legitimately have issues, but 90% of the criticism comes from people who shit on stuff that never happened then when they get called out go "Oh I haven't played it since 1999 so my memory's hazy but yeah it sucks". That shit infuriates me.
Yep, it really was a great system that Capcom absolutely ruined once they realised that new AE players would be getting a fucking shit ton of FM from all the character stories and character levels and proceeded to completely nerf it for everyone. But yeah, FM from 2016 to 2017 was great and it's a shame most people pain the whole system as a failure when it's only been awful for the past year or so.

Top down Isometric is the best viewing angle and well made games with this perspective are the most fun.
From RC Pro Am days as a youth to the two very best games on the PS3 - Dead Nation and Renegade Ops, it sucks that most games this gen are either 2D side scrollers or fully top down 2D, or full 3D ... there has been a severe lack of great isometric 2d top down games this gen, or at least I've missed them if they exist. Sometimes feels like I'm the only one that adores that perspective.
Seriously go play Renegade Ops if you can.

Me and my SO played it through and we had insane amount of fun. That Mech boss was fucking awful but other than that it's a VERY decent co-op shooter. Some very cool ideas for co-op are here.
I second this. Story and there characters are very memorable and writing is top notch.
It's a history game! Except it's not about war but instead the most influence pop culture force of the the 1960s.
Of course it's a bit fast and loose with the details (Sorry Billy Preston) but I can't think of any other video game
that follows real world events so closely. You're on the Ed Sullivan show NOT because it was popular or even expected,
but because it was accurate. It's a shame we don't see this more often.
So yeah, more biography games would be rad.
Definitely not.
Look at any topic about them or read the reviews. Both games get blasted.
Both are good games if you have people to play them with.
Fallout 4 is great for adding the Settlement system - a fully featured, rich and engaging way of playing an RPG series (renowned for conflict and violence) in a completely peaceful way where you level up by providing shelter for people and rebuilding a semblance of civilization. It's so well implemented you can build your character entirely around this playstyle. It's something AAA games need more of.
Deus Ex Invisible War is legit one of the best first person RPGs and Mankind Divided was actually very very good too, no amount of salt for SE's inability to budget should detract from that game
Positive controversial opinions huh?
*Cracks knuckles*
Pokémon Sword and Shield removing most of the Pokémon is fine. I had 70 Pokémon by the time I finished Sun and Moons story and I was already sick of collecting the proceedingly less original and interesting bastards by the 40th.
I always prefer a two weapon system over a weapon wheel. Weapon wheels are incredibly clunky and never feel good. I wish it would make a comeback ala Last of Us where you can switch between selectable weapons to equip at a time. I'm glad games are still doing them.
Mass Effect 3 is one of, if not the, best 3rd person shooters around.
I like when I can customise a class so far that it becomes a completely different class. Like how in Battlefront 2 you can turn the officer into a sniper, and the sniper class into a close quarters skirmisher.

I really enjoyed the water levels in Mario as a kid.
I had (and still have) a huge love for the ocean so I guess I just enjoyed the feeling of "exploring" underwater.

Probably ERA exclusive, but Red Dead Redemption 2 is fucking excellent, and the reviews and previews were on point. It is better than its prequel and ranks as one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had, despite the controls not being a major improvement over past R* games.
Max Payne 3 is an excellent and fresh take on the property. The Housers did the right thing by not trying to emulate Lake's unique voice and approaching it with a more revisionist angle.

BOTW and RDR2 are the two highest-rated games of the generation and they both deserve that distinction.
I've been gaming for forty years and they are two of the best games I have ever played.

I hate zombies, like I really hate them, but Dead Rising, Dying Light, and Days Gone were still good even with them.
There aren't really bad games anymore. The worst games I've played the last two generations would even get into the worst 25 games I played on the PS one

THANK YOU!
as for my own opinions.....
Toy Story 2 on PS1 is the best platformer on the system.
fortnite is actually pretty good (specially STW) and people give it too much crap.
Watch dogs 1 wasn't really as bad as people make it to be.
NMS was ok. (now it seems to be actually really good)
Deus Ex HR is better than the original Deus Ex.

MGS4 is one of the greatest games of all time. No other game has had payoffs like that game. Too many scenes are just downright perfect. Also the absurdity of certain scenes just makes the game so special to me. I think many wanted a gameplay centric mgs but this ones gameplay is great eventhough there is very little of it. I just found the story so enthralling that the cutscenes were worth it. Also Super Mario 3D world is the best platformer ever made :)
Every decision Infinity Ward made in Modern Warfare 2 was the right one.
Secondary shotguns, Stopping Power to balance Cold Blooded, Making every gun good, Killstreaks that decimate the other team.
Everything balances out in its own weird way when everything is extremely lethal.

Legitimately I got a lot of fun out of Sonic 06. It's not a great game and sure there's plenty I don't like. But you know what? There's plenty I do. I've finished this game twice and I'm glad I did. It was worth playing. There are worse Sonic games.
I no longer feel alone in this cruel, cruel world.
EA's Syndicate reboot is a worthy successor to the Bullfrog games. I think the genre change from Strategy game to FPS was too much of a shift for series diehards, and I think its unfairly criticized simply because of a perceived attempt to broaden its appeal at the expense of betraying its "roots".
Dishonored 2 has the best level design of any game ever and A Crack in the Slab is the best level designed ever, especially the mansion with 4 different versions.
Not necessarily about a game, but the joycons are in my top 3 of Nintendo's controllers
