This article started out strong and then ended up preaching to the choir. I think most responses are "you have to play this" unless it's something that might not hold up anymore but was impactful for the time.

The real message is early in the article that there isn't enough time to play all the games. What you think is a must-play isn't somebody else's. So make your recommendations, but it's okay if they don't get around to it.

Still... Outer Wilds made me realize that I should pay attention when people praise a game to death. Like, when some game is voted as GotY and garners a bunch of rewards, I probably shouldn't just have it sitting there on my Steam list uninstalled. Maybe I won't like it the way other people do, but at least I can figure that out fairly quickly.

Life's too short to waste time on triple-A trash and bad games.
