And even that is tough to answer since every game is in a different genre and offers different experiences.
Sometimes you wanna blow shit up with your mates in Carnage Contest, sometimes you wanna make a huge ass weed farm in Stranded, and sometimes you wanna observe the hilarious behaviours of 10-year-olds on a CS2D jail server.
It's all subjective.

Not really, do you like blowing shit up, making feed farm or annoy kids? What was most succesful? What do you think is the best? Its like comparing game of the year awards, it doesnt matter what genre is it there
Games can only be compared to other games of the same genre, anyway. So, comparing CS2D, CC, SII, and MM is pretty dumb since they're completely unique from each other.
Awards don't show how "good" the game is. How do you even measure "goodness", anyway?
The reason why "8/10", "5 stars", and "71%" kind of ratings are stupid because they try to put quality on a scale and they assume all games have the same goal. You can't measure the quality of a game because it has multiple varying factors like effort, graphics, gameplay balance, etc. and these factors each have varying amounts of importance and priority depending on the game.
The correct way of rating a game is to simply criticize it in detail. For example, if some controls of the game are too uncomfortable, then suggest alternative controls or the ability to change keys. If the gameplay balance is amazing, then give praise to it and say how it should be applied to other and/or future games. If the UI is too buggy and annoying, then express its faults, explaining the infuriating experience in detail.
Each game is unique from other games in their own different ways. People can like certain genres of games and dislike other certain genres. Like Seekay said, they each provide different experiences and it all comes down to the players' perceptions of what entertainment is.
From what I can see from the dev blog and the features that are planned, Stranded III will be the best game DC ever coded and I hope its multiplayer mode won't die a year after its release like Carnage Contest (but I guess that happened because CC stopped being updated).
By the way, you could've change the thread title with that fits better (posted by Seekay) above.

The only one which is still open. Couldn't you just use that thread instead?
It was on the first page of the search. The third link.
And as you can see, even in that thread I stated there were others just like this one. Feels like déjà vu.
