+1
Not necessarily my favorite game on the list but the others wouldn't even come to mind when talking "test of time".. Almost all of them are post 2010!

Seeing two five year old games in a "test of time" award list really gives you some insight about the age of the average Steam user.

much as I've enjoyed Skyrim it's still far too new to really say it's stood the test of time. Morrowind would be my personal vote as it's probably the oldest game I still own (barring perhaps some old Amiga/C64/ZX speccy titles that may still be hiding in my parents loft) and I still return to it periodically

It must be either Terraria or civ v ....
But we all know that Skyrim is going to win .

I played Skyrim and found it extremely boring ,but that's just personal preference.
I don't get the people who claim it to be best game ever etc ... It's pretty mediocre at best with repetitive content and clunky engine ...

I personally loved Skyrim, but it's nowhere near the best game ever, not even the best in the franchise. Morrowind takes that honor if you ask me (For best in series). Still, I'm voting Skyrim, as much as I used to love AoE, I can't stand playing it anymore, so to me it hasn't survived the test of time. Sadly I haven't played any of the other games.

What does any of these 5 games have to do with the "Test of Time" ???
Well, the only game that is rightfully here, is AoE II HD (that HD might as well be erased).

Phh, million reasons like this, why I always deny to be a member of Steam Community, just a Steam user. Same as when thinking of human race, I hope I am actually from Mars, Saturn, etc.

It's a safe bet when will I next facepalm at the Steam Community. When Skyrim will win Test of Time award.

I'm gonna go with Terraria. Skyrim is nice but I can't seem to get into it and since it was just recently remastered, Terraria takes the lead.

i ended up voting for team fortress 2 for the award, because it's evolved so much since 2007 and yet remains one of the most popular multiplayer games with some of the most memorable characters in gaming.

also because it came out when i was seventeen, so from my perspective it fits the "its old" aspect of it all.

Seems to be the least populair one, but that might have to do with the poll question ;) Didn't really think that one trough.
Also: happy cake day!

It survived the test of time then for sure :) Also got my vote, although not playing it anymore for a while, I wouldn't mind doing so.

AoE II is the only one from that list old enough to deserve to be there in the first place. What are Civ V, Terraria and Skyrim even doing in that list?

Guess there are allot of youngsters ;) On the other side, how long do you play a game on average? Playing a game half a decade is already a long time? ^^
