From my point of view, it would not be very useful to complain about the list of The Guardian's 50 games.
Because it is obvious that it would not have been a "realistic" list, but more commercial or personal.
That said, if I had my own Top 50, it would be my favorite:
1 - Chrono Trigger
2 - Final Fantasy VI
3 - Super Mario World
4 - Pokémon Yellow
5 - Tetris
6 - Final Fantasy IX
7 - Donkey Kong Country
8 - Final Fantasy XV
9 - Dragon Quest VIII
10 - Kingdom Hearts
11 - Super Mario Land
13 - The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time
14 - Tomb Raider 2
15 - Metal Gear Solid
16 - Chrono Cross
17 - Xenogears 1/2
18 - Final Fantasy VII
19 - Super Mario Bros 3
20 - Pokémon Gold and Silver
21 - Dragon Quest XI
22 - Bioshock 1 and 2
23 - Undertale
24 - Crash Bandicoot
25 - Super Street Fighter 2
26 - God of War 3
27 - Valkyrie Profile
28 - Golden Sun
29 - Halo
30 - Final Fantasy X
31 - Shining Force 2
32 - Uncharted
33 - Gears of War
34 - Metal Gear Solid 2
35 - Nier Automata
36 - Final Fantasy XIV ARR
37 - Crash Team Racing
38 - Dark Souls
39 - Zelda Link to the Past
40 - The Witcher 3
41 - Hitman 2 Silent Assassin's
42 - Mortal Kombat 2

Obviously, there are also multiple other games that should be on a list of this type.
This is why they are always based on personal preferences in the end.
