This is a list of my top 5 favorite video games grouped and ordered by the year they were originally released. Games are ordered with the left-most being my favorite for the year. If a year has fewer than five games, it means I haven't played enough games in that year worthy of ranking.
See also my list of favorite video games by genre and list of favorite video games by platform.
