10. Dark Souls 2 The most controversial of the Souls, and yes, likely the weakest - but my favorite of the mainline. I loved how it felt experimental; it felt like they were trying so many things, and many of them were ehh, but that game had so much heart. Souls 2 walked so Elden Ring could run.

11. League of Legends it had to come up eventually lol. League taught me what live-service games meant. I played Gunbound, Gunz, Runescape, WoW - but League reinvented it. I've loved league since 2010 -It's an honor to give back to what inspired me to always incrementally get better at game design.
