Miscellaneous / / May 10, 2023
GQ magazine conducted a massive survey among journalists, bloggers and gaming industry employees to determine the best video games of all time. Responses were received from 239 contributors, including people from Naughty Dog, CD Project RED, Riot Games, and Bethesda. The "father" of The Last of Us, Neil Druckmann, also provided his top.
Each participant provided a ranked top 10 games, and everyone chose the criteria independently. As a result, the authors received a list of 652 games, each of which had at least one vote, after which they converted the places in the top into points: the first place gave 10 points, the tenth - 1 point.
