It’s that time of year again, when we start to see Game of the Year countdowns popping up on all the popular game review websites. So once again we're coming up with our own game of the yearish list, but instead of the admins coming up with the list, we are looking to you to vote for the top 10 games you have played this year!

Typically, game of the year lists are comprised of games that have released during the past year. The Completionator Top 10 Games of the Year will allow you to vote on any game ever released that you have PLAYED in the last year. So anything from Pong to Halo Infinite is eligible as long as you have played the games anytime in 2021. This is strictly for fun to see what the Completionator community thinks are the best games they played this year. See below for information on how to vote and the giveaway we’ve got planned.

How to Vote

Voting is simple, all you have to do is create a new Stack and include the words "Top 10" in the title so we can tell that it’s your entry. So for example, something like a "My Top 10 Games of the Year" stack title would be a valid entry. Next, list out the top 10 games you’ve played this year in order, #1 being the best game you played all year. You will have from November 26th until 11:59pm EST December 20th to create your stack. You can also edit your stack as much as you like during this timeframe. If you created a top 10 stack earlier in the year, just post a link to it in this thread and we will include it in the results! Once the entry period ends we will save all stacks and tally the results. Any stacks saved after December 20th will not be counted toward the end result (feel free to continue to make Top 10 stacks after the date because it’s still fun to do!) Only 1 Top 10 stack per person please.

Results

All votes will be given point values. 1st place votes will get 10 points per entry, 2nd place votes will get 9 votes per entry and so on through 10th place which will get 1 point per entry. Once the points are tallied, we will release an article counting down the Completionator Community Top 10 Games of the Year a few days after the voting period ends.

Giveaway

We are giving away $15 in Steam gift cards to a randomly drawn user that submits a valid Top 10 stack. The winner will be announced on the results article and will be contacted directly.

Please reply to this post if you have any questions. Have fun!!

Here's mine! https://www.completionator.com/Stack/View/1359

I keep a running list from the start of the year. It hasn't changed much in the last month or two, though.

Edit: Just when I thought the list was set in stone, I played Super Mario Galaxy 2 finally and that shook things up a little.

Got mine up: https://www.completionator.com/Stack/View/1560

Was harder to assemble this time around than I thought it would be. WIP as I do the write-ups for the games like I normally do, but the positions and the games probably won't change

Here's mine! 2021 was a great year for me in gaming. https://completionator.com/Stack/View/1565

@AllTheTrophies mine was a bit difficult to put together too, I played a lot more games this year and a few of them I ranked so similarly.

Finished mine. https://www.completionator.com/Stack/View/1564

Here’s my current list :) https://www.completionator.com/Stack/View/1566

I threw mine up....not literally...though, that might be debatable. https://www.completionator.com/Stack/View/1442

Like past years, I decline the gift card if I were to get selected for it. I'd rather that someone else gets it.

Lots of good participation so far! Keep it up! Hope it's the biggest Top 10 yet!

Fester's Quest has received it's 10 points from me.

I played some pretty old games this year that I was really surprised that I ended up liking them more than the modern ones.
