Listed below are my favorite video games of all time, ranked 1-10. I stuck to single player/story games only. I have a separate list for PvP games.
1 - The Last of Us:
While there is controversy over the recent PC port, this title has been my stable No 1 for a long time. A fantastic story, interesting and unique characters, crazy jaw dropping moments, and an incredible ending.
2 - Red Dead Redemption 2:
The best open world game I’ve ever experienced. Dynamic set of characters, beautiful scenery, endless exploration, a fantastic story, and one of the most brutal endings to a game I’ve played.
3 - Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice:
As a hardcore fan of Japanese culture and media, this game could have easily been number one. A story of redemption, hatred, and deception captured all within a gorgeous world with unbelievable mechanics and combat.
4 - Dishonored:
There is a special place in my heart for this game. A vastly unique world, gorgeous art style, and fantastic combat system. The best balance of stealth and aggression in a game I’ve played.
5 - Elden Ring:
A close second for my favorite FromSoft title. A fantastic clash of the classic souls-like format and an open world RPG. On of the most gorgeous games from the last decade.
6 - God of War (2018):
Almost seen as a risky change to the GOW system, a beautiful story of anger and growth jumbled into a breathtaking world.
7 - Cyberpunk 2077:
A terrible launch turned into a very enjoyable and satisfying experience. Probably the best looking game out right now - and another contender for my favorite video game endings.
8 - Borderlands 2:
The Borderlands series as a whole is so refreshing, but the 2nd title outweighs the others. Handsome Jack is a top 3 villain/final boss IMO.
9 - Alan Wake:
While the combat system is lacking, from a narrative and story telling perspective, this title is above all else.
10 - Detroit: Become Human:
Similar to Alan Wake, the game itself is very story driven and was not made for heavy gameplay. A great experience and you can never go wrong with choices matter games.
HM: Firewatch, Dishonored 2, Tom Clancy’s The Division, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Assassin’s Creed III.
call of duty modern warfare 2 (original): Addictive, fun killstreaks, spec ops mode, just a fucking blast
hitman 3: freelancer mode is why it landed on the list. added a tarkov esq grind and its awesome when you have all the maps
rocket league: so many hours, insane replayability
clone hero: free guitar hero with any song you could ever want + online
Skyrim: better than most games today, and it came out on 360
gta 4: mind boggling open world for the time and i thought games would be a lot further along now because of how ground breaking this was
Yakuza: Like a dragon: so fucking fun, really quirky and just a great time, the story can also be intense
gta 5: The little details put it over. The people walking down the road on their phones, the way water correctly made your character wet, this game was so thoughtfully crafted, GTA role play is amazing, i hope 6 gives a similar feeling
persona 5 royal: Such a well woven story. Its unlike any other game and its fucking amazing. I could go on and on
Escape from Tarkov: the best FPS ever made and it doesnt look like anything new is coming out that will change that. Unmatched level of detail in gun animations and gameplay mechanics, addictive scarcity loot system with engaging quests, pog hideout to upgrade, amazing community (made about 10 friends from this game this year). The maps are ginormous, and the game makes you feel alive. Not to mention the insane amount of content updates they do all year
Honorable mentions: witcher 3, ssx 3 (ps2), crazy taxi, kingdom hearts 2, mirrors edge, burnout revenge/paradise, fallout 3
