I fully understand someone thinking x game deserves to be there instead of y but I think this is a great list that spans most genres and serves as a wonderful stepping stone for exploration within gaming.
If I give this list to someone who doesn't know yet, what kind of games they like, this list will show them great games from all major "eras" and all kinds of dev studio sizes/budgets. And once they have played, say, KotoR 2 (since it's in the same list that recommends new and good games like Baldur's Gate 3, they are more likely to check out other old but great games like Gothic 1 and 2 (and, of course, KotoR 1).
The thing for me wasn't so much the game choice but the placement. It feels like they took a big bag of 100 of the best games and randomly picked them out one at a time. If you start to ask is Y really better than X on this list then it starts to make less and less sense.
That's a fair gripe with the list. I guess "Top 100 Games" is just more catchy than "100 Great Games In Random Order"
... Although at this point I've seen so many "Top x y" lists that "x Great y In Random Order" would, ironically, catch my attention more.
