The 2010s were a smashing decade for video games, letting players enjoy some quality experiences that have aged gracefully. This was the golden period when state-of-the-art graphics hadn't taken over the gaming scene yet, giving developers more time to craft stellar experiences that players would have a great time with.
The best video games of this time are ones that players can't put down, and players are missing out on something special if they haven't graced themselves with the gaming brilliance of these legendary titles.
Portal 2
One Of The Greatest Puzzle Games Ever Made
Portal 2 is one of the best sequels ever made, expanding on the concepts of the first game and elaborating on the game's lore. A series that already had one of the greatest antagonists of all time was graced with another brilliant villain in the form of Wheatley.
The puzzles were back and better than ever. The cherry on top of this game was a surprisingly engaging co-op game that made Portal 2 even more engaging for the masses.

The Legacy Of This Title Speaks For Itself
Skyrim is hailed by many as the greatest open-world RPG of all time, and understandably so. The game was in a class of its own back when it came out, with the sense of freedom and exploration being absolutely breathtaking.
The fact that Skyrim is still relevant to this day speaks volumes about the game's longevity, which is definitely helped by Bethesda's numerous re-releases, coupled with the dedication of the modding community.
