RDR2 is a masterpiece. The level of depth across all aspects of environment and all creatures within it is unmatched in my opinion. Rarely has a game hit me hard once. RDR2 did it multiple times.
Cyberpunk 2077/Phantom Liberty is the only game I have enjoyed on the same level. And the game world is still lacking dynamism compared to RDR2. But the writing and acting is amazing. Its a high bar thats gonna be difficult to surpass, even for GTA6. Idk how it could be better than RDR2.
RDR2 is indeed a masterpiece. I wholeheartedly agree with you. But I have one gripe with this game, just one gripe, it's a pretty big 1, too..... The DUEL mechanism!!! why in the hell would they Omit the duel mechanism? IT'S A FUCKING COWBOY GAME !!!! 🤬🤬🤬 It was LITERALLY one of my favorite parts of RDR1...🤷🏿♂️
RDR2 literally ruined every other game I played after it for a months. Nothing felt like even coming close to this masterpiece. Ghost of tsushima helped me get over RDR2 later but RDR2 stays undefeated still.
@Kingkaindal it's boring story never really grabbed me what do you spend your money on after you buy all the guns u want, but yeah the open world is alive it's really quite remarkable it's like gta how I see it, it gives u everything and nothing aswell, would be better for gaming if it died yes ghosts of tshima is the shit best game I have played since Red dead2 and witcher3 I actually hate gta 5 I will never play that fucken game again or purchase it for like the 4th time or sum shit .maybe kojima walking simulator death stranding is worth a crack it just looks lame though.
@@alexknox814 it's a slow paced game and you need to take your time. This happened to me with many long rpg games. It only clicked after I tried several times and got hooked.
@@TrevNasty00 Me too. RDR2 is the only game I've played for the last 2 yrs. Even though I have 4 consoles and around 400 games RDR2 is all I play. It truly is a masterpiece. All other games just pale by comparison.
@@partlycloudy9443 I know the feeling, my friend. I keep starting and trying other games, but they just make me think, “oh man. I wonder what Arthur is up to rn.”
I would argue that those games didn't really ruin other games? Maybe they did if you're comparing them to games outside the genre? But if you're comparing to other similar games, they stand with them, but didn't ruin them not by a long shot ? And I don't really know what people see in BioShock ???? I have all of them and I've never beat one of them... I got about halfway through the first before I was just tired of playing it... the tone and setting are awesome, but the comical art style and aesthetic seem to clash with the overall atmosphere for me personally? It feels like two different games trying to exist in one I feel the gameplay doesn't match the environment but at the same time I don't find the gameplay all that great... it's OK but it gets boring? Dead space, I absolutely love!!!! Especially the first one as I feel like the pacing and everything in it was perfect!!! I feel like the second one they kind of overdid it and I've never even played the third even though I have it...
@@turismofoegaming8806 Play System Shock 2 and Bioshock 1 and 2 will be a little disappointing, but with a better graphic. Bioshock 3 is a mess on the other hand.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance should be on this list. Yes, it was janky and full of bugs when it was first released, but for a Kickstarter-funded indie game with only a dozen devs starting out, it was pretty impressive, and it got better. The world is beautiful, looks realistic and feels alive (and you can literally go to the places in the game in real life, and much of it is the same), and the NPCs all have daily routines. You start out as basically an NPC with no skills (you're known to be a lazy slacker) and you essentially have to learn HEMA combat techniques to survive (none of the button mashing that is characteristic of so many other "hack and slash" games). The story is engaging, the side quests interesting (and sometimes funny), and this immersive game encourages you to just go exploring and see what you find. And you'll learn quite a bit about medieval history and customs along the way. Cannot wait for the sequel!

@@CaptainSkylocke the default character was literally modelled on the likeness of Tom McKay, who did the voice acting, and looks just like him in real life. I'm sure he's happy to know he looks like a boring generic default character.
@UnclePengy maybe it is the shoddy graphics and facial animations I dunno but they made him look super generic. The game was tedious it was like anti fun.
''Thief's gold'. It's stealth system was so good that it's still being put into many serious stealth games. Ironically the actual game is still playable and mod-able to this day. It's one of the first games that had a huge dedicated community that modded and shared. (It launched in 1998!!!)
Absolutely stellar game!!!! I can't believe the dumbass game journalist kept me from buying that game until after it had been out for over a year and had went down to $29.99?!?!?!? I would have gladly paid full price for how good that damn game is?! 10/10 All the way for me! Didn't stop playing it until I had the platinum!!!!! (wish we could get a walking dead Game that was similar to it where you got to drive vehicles and everything and there were also vast expenses of countryside, mountains, and cities for you to explore...)
an important one for me that you left off the list: Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines. the narrative depth in the area of feeling more like a choose your own adventure book than any other video game before or since... so much can be said for this cult game including the real life references to politics and music still being relevant. the clan powers system... one of the sexiest vampire NPCs ever still to this day. (that also trips you out because she has a multiple personality disorder as she's a Malkavian, and Malkavians tend to be extra insane) the epic tale of the fanbase of modders that survived for two decades until the domain had the rug yanked out from under them (the original owner of the domain died some years back and nothing we could really do about it except back up as much data as possible to port to a future iteration) and the entire forum hosting the mod files was basically tossed in the dumpster. there's the saga of the developer Troika's demise, the game being somehow 'released' and judged for eternity as a cult classic without ever having been fully completed, and the story about the making of a sequel to that game, which is one of the most epic sagas in video game history as well- about 20 years on, and with two development companies later, plus a few years of nail biting and fingers crossed hoping that the project was not shelved indefinitely, still officially now slated for Q2-3 of 2025 (after them saying it was going to arrive late 2024 over a year ago lol! there's been more delays and setbacks on development of this game than any other game I can remember during my more than three decades of video gaming) this sequel Bloodlines II better be the best game you ever played in your life. don't mess it up chinese room! haha! think I only waited about 15 years for Diablo III, and 8 years on Cyberpunk 2077 to put it into perspective, and I have been waiting for Bloodlines 2 since the first game came out in 2004.
Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind was also the best $10 I ever randomly spent on a game I never heard of at Best Buy on the PC game shelf. if you're into modding, that game kind of reinvented the wheel sort of by creating a large persistent modding community, they were really the first of their kind and probably will be the last as well since it doesn't make money for the developers. was really sad when Neverwinter Online cancelled their Foundry system where players could generate their own dungeons and quests, that was the best feature they had going for that game, but they were also trying to monetize it and a portion of the money (because they started selling some of these new dungeons as a cash shop item) would go to the players whose home made dungeons got the most ratings... it quickly got out of hand with the attempt to monetize the usefulness of the modding community, kind of similar to a few other games where they are looking to absorb people's capacity to tax their bodies creating youtube content and the like for pennies or less while the devs sell what they make and keep all the profits themselves for things created by the users they are trying to farm free labor from whether knowingly or unwittingly
Surprised that Baldur 3 was not included, as for the past year most other games were being compared to it. If BG3 had not come out within a couple months of Starfield, then Starfield would probably have gotten a better rating, even.
Elden Ring ruined open world games for me I hate all the question marks. Just randomly finding quests in Elden Ring was so good. I started Zelda a year later and put it down after a week same with Ghost of Tushima got it for PC recently and it’s great but it very much follows the standard open world template just can’t motivate myself to pick it up and I’m a massive fan of 70s Samurai films.
I think the Mass Effect trilogy is missing (I just comment this in another video of yours). This trilogy alongside The Witcher 3 really spoiled other games for me. Those are milestones in my games experiences. But your list is also very good. Cheers!
the problem with ME (unlike the games on this list) is no one attempted to replicate it. the thought of good and consequential writing for an entire series was too much of an endeavor for a lot of the AAA publishers.
Witcher 3 is my favorite video game ever and the Wine and Blood add-on is an absolute MASTERPIECE. I play it every couple of years just to try different storylines and visit new places on the map. The Excalibur sword storyline is so amazing it just blew me away. A wonderful mix of mythology, history, and this amazing virtual world. If this ever came out in VR, I might retire there in my little chateau.
Its RDR2 for me. After 45 yrs of gaming and playing countless games, RDR2 is the most immersive and detailed ive ever played. Its all Ive played for the last 2 yrs. It truly is a masterpiece of a game.
that old? i about same age. couldnt stand the game. more i played the more i loathed loading into it. and i love old western games. Skull i think it was from ps2 days. xbox 360 had pretty cool one where u play as 2 brothers. rd2 is just shit imo. sure it looks nice, lots to do. but story, feel, all so boring and shit. i just wanted to shoot the disc the game loaded on and be done with it.
@@FastDuDeJiunn 65 million copies sold which puts it in 7th place of the highest selling video games of all time. Its Rockstars 2nd highest selling game, only beat by GTA5. You're in a very small minority of people who don't like it. Even the top gaming channels rate it as one of the best games ever made. But, I do understand its not a game for everyone. 65 million copies sold is incredible for a game, and its still selling very well for a game that's going on 7 yrs old. I still have my xbox 360 and PS2 and the western game with the 2 brothers you are referring to is called, Call of Juarez, bound in blood. I still have that game.
Final Fantasy X is the best game. By far the best leveling system ever implemented in any RPG. Great story and so much extra content and blitzball. Summons were amazing and so were all of the party characters. I've never enjoyed a game more.
@@shayorestad5444 10 is my second least favourite after 13. The characters are shit and the story is boring and on rails the voice acting was crap too.
Baldurs Gate 3 should be here because of just how good the company who made it and how worth every penny this game is. I bought it before release for 40 bucks and got a 70 dollar game. Not only that the company held a stamdard that scared other companies. ❤
@@eyeq7730 Was it on Nintendo (FF to FFVI) or Playstation (FFVII and later)? It might not tell you if it was 7 or 8 but it will tell you if it was 6 or not. and HOW can you forget which one it was... VII was a revelation and basically started the "new era" of JRPG's, VIII was "just" a new FF
It's funny you placed Zelda Breath of the Wild on this list. I remember playing and then playing Nier Automata, followed by Horizon Zero Dawn and Nier Automata is the game that really shattered all my expectations
Was looking for someone to mention Nier Automata that was by far the best game of 2017 and truly one of the best games ever made. From the story, gameplay (platinum games 🤤) to the music the game was absolute perfection
I like Kingdom come - Deliverance. Once your brain align with your fingers , there’s no combat system more satisfying. Being with blades or blunt weapons , on foot or on horseback , or a hand to hand fight. The first time you actually hit an enemy the way you intended , single or combo , makes you feel like Conan the barbarian.
For me personally, that game is Outriders. All games just pale in story, gameplay, classes and abilities, weapons. Fantastic and criminally underrated.
Many of these games I haven't played yet. I beaten Skyrim and the Arkham trilogy but that's about it on this list. I'm a fan of jrpgs so my picks are Eternal Sonata I was blown away with how good this game was, beautiful visuals (for its time, totally unique story, a great sound track and great characters. Lost Odyssey was another amazing jrpg with a great story, memory sequences that were really well written, also looked great for its time. The Walking Dead Series and Life is Strange, the narrative of both games kept me invested with memories of each game having a lasting impression well after completing them. But the walking sim aspect won't appeal to everyone.
Yep, i can't stand watching cutscenes or dialogue in any other game since i played bg3. BG3 is like going to the best theater performance available, whereas most other games are tantamount a school play performed by 8 year olds. Even the games with better voice acting like eg RDR2 don't come close to BG3.
I agree Skyrim should have been higher on the list. Witcher is great but is still following in Skyrim's footsteps. I am glad to see it on there though! Now to just see them start remaking all these games for VR!
Witcher is a pretty great game, was pretty cool - Witcher 3 is just more of the same Witcher 1 & 2, with better graphics. Of course I'm not implying its bad, of course (as my self bought it twice , for PS and PC), but it's not enough to be eclipsing other games.Just my opinion.
@@OreoDave Yep, it is good as I said, but there's a tendency on just picking the last game out, when the series started eay earlier. The feeling of getting the innovative content would still be there if you started playing the original (not just Wticher one but most games). But glad there's another wtcher fan out there, we need more player base in these kind of games, so more come out in the future!
I was kinda looking to see Horizon:zero dawn. I enjoyed and it really got me into RPG games and very little have matched up, even forbidden west was a let down after zero dawn. The attention to detail and the interaction with the environment, and storylines were amazing. The thing I'll never forget, well two things actually, 1. once i was crawling in tall grass avoiding enemies because my life was low and an arrow flew over my head, I panicked because I thought I was spotted, but the eye that lets you know when you're visible to enemies was closed so I thought it was a glitch but looked around to make sure and while looking around I saw some of the people from a settlement fighting a snapmaw and one of their arrows that missed went astray and stuck in the rock near where I was. I was blow away. 2. Then a short wile later I climbed a very tall mountain and fought glinthawk. I killed it very close to the edge of the mountain then walked into it so it would fall. When I was done with what I was doing on the mountain and went down the glinthawk I pushed down was there laying at the bottom of the mountain. I loved the attention to detail very much. Enjoyed that game fully. I was sad because I never got the "frozen wilds" extension to work but it was the best for me. Very few RPG games pay that much attention to detail and interaction with the environment. Been looking for one that comes close to it ever since so I'll be checking out some on this list. But I have to agree with @mrheyzeus. To put Fortnite on the list is a bit audacious.
Someone else did a video like this and you hit waaaaay more "perfect" games than the other guy. I haven't played all the games on your list and i haven't finished Black Myth but you definitely have an eye for unforgettable games. Now im interested in the games i haven't played on your list.
Best game I've ever played, and i have multiple consoles, and PC but NOTHING to this day has blown me away like the Half Life 2 and it's expansions....probably my most replayed were Skyrim and Metal Gear Solid 4, as far as newer games BOTW, Nier Automata, Cyberpunk, Witcher 3 of course, some memorable campaigns that don't get talked about enough are Enslaved Odyssey to the West, Spec Ops the Line, Hitman Absolution, Splinter Cell Blacklist (both black sheep games that were VERY unfairly judged by being different from the others in the series) Super Mario Galaxy games, Persona 3 FES, F.E.A.R. and expansions, Bioshock Infinite, Zelda Ocarina of Time, Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction, Unreal Tournament 2004, Castlevania Lament of Innocence and Curse of Darkness if weren't Castlevania games would be FAR higher rated, Legacy of Kain Defiance, Hotline Miami games, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Watch Dogs 2, Metro 2033 and Last Light, Final Fantasy X, GTA IV, Fallout 3 never gets the credit it deserves, Dying Light and expansion still is one of the Best ever, Deus Ex Human Revolution, Crysis Warhead, Borderlands 2, Bloodstained Ritual of the Night, Battlefield 3 campaign, Assassin's Creed 2,Rainbow Six Vegas 1 and 2, Ghost Recon Wildlands, I could go on forever 😀 👍 Favorite NPC Chocalina FFXIII-2 😍😍🤣🤣
This list is a little bit RPG heavy. From my long gaming career, i remember the following games that left a mark and that i completed multiple times: Amnesia: The Dark Descent Assassin’s Creed 2 + Black Flag Bioshock Crysis Defense Grid Duke Nukem 3D Dune 2 Fallout 3 Frostpunk Gothic 1+2+3 Half-Life 1+2 Kingdom Come: Deliverance Mass Effect 2 Metro 2033 + Exodus Orcs Must Die 2 Ori and the Blind Forest Portal Quake R-Type Rune Secret of Monkey Island Severance: Blade of Darkness Soma Starcraft 2 Talos Principle 1+2 The Room Unreal Warcraft 3 Xenon 2 Yoshi's Island
I don’t think they ruined any games for me if anything they’ve put me off open world games to many question marks. Resident evil was the 1st game that made me scared and FF7 1st to make me shed a tear.
Its old AF, but Perfect Dark for N64 belongs on here. It set a bunch of standards for all future FPS games, and was the first to have AI opponents for the multiplayer mode.
Prey (2017) is like this for me. After playing it I friggin scoured the internet to find something similar and failed. I guess the only same'ish feel came from RE1+RE2. I like the claustrophobic "I'm trapped in this environment and I need to get out" theme. So posting this in the hope someone has something for me :(
You deserve more likes, but I guess that is a generation thing. Great job on creating the context of most of the games and I agree on the points. You miss some like Cyberpunk... rough launch but impressive story telling and they really caught up with the expansion. Anyway nice video.
Hey, my friend. I’m really glad to hear you’re enjoying it. I’ve already talked about Cyberpunk in several other videos on the channel, but I always try to mix things up to avoid repeating the same games. Cyberpunk is one of those games that, whenever I don’t mention it, a lot of people comment that it was missing. I think that’s really cool because it shows how the game managed to bounce back. And that’s something quite rare because, usually, when a game has a rocky launch, even when developers work hard to fix the initial issues, it’s tough for the game to truly recover. Cyberpunk is an example that, with care and attention from the developers, a game can indeed make a comeback.
A lot of people are of course saying RDR2 . But I would venture to say that the orginal Red Dead Redemption should also be listed as one of the greatest.
Snowrunner should be in this list. It's a reference for truck, offroad, crane and transportation simulation. I can not imagine going back to other truck simulators after playing for now more than 600 hours.
@@PlayHunters_ awesome list of games yours. I'll revisit this video when I do not know what to play . I am from 16 Bit console generation and lost track for games from 2006 until 2022, so I did not know about how these games impacted the whole industry.
Battlefront 2 , old as hell, but possibly could make a list like this if it was bigger. It put all the other Star Wars games down two notches. Force Unleashed was good
The only one who got bored and quit Uncharted after the second one because it seemed like all the stories were the same you fight to find the treasure you find out its cursed you destroy it
GOD OF WAR! There was nothing like it before, and there will be nothing like it again. I mean, you were damned to Hades, and fought your way out. You killed Icarus, titans, and Zeus himself. There was so much to do, and so many things to figure out. And the combat, with the weapon upgrades. It makes me want to fire up my 60 GB PS3 and start from the beginning again.
No Death Stranding, All God of Wars, All Spidermans, Days gone, Border lands, Horizon Forbidden West & Zero Dawn, Last of us part 1 & 2, Detroit becoming Human, Hitman, Devil May Cry, Fallout, Resident Evil, Star Wars Jedi, Assassins Creeds, Far Cry 4,5,6 , Metal Gears Series, Bioshock, Atomic Heart... Damn just to name some off the top of my head that were killer games that I recommend everyone play.
There's always more. I can further think of the Dark Souls series, both Ori's, the last two Zelda games or a list of classic RPG and adventure games. Thankfully there is always something to play and enjoy.
I can't take a list seriously that doesn't have Days Gone, Fallout 3, and 4, BioShock, RDR2 or HL2 on it. The list should been titled "MY 17 Single Player games... etc"
RDR2, the connection dumbfounds me still today. When Arthur died, even knowing it was coming, I just sat there, no interest to keep playing. Still not finished. I just put it away with some respect like a funeral.
I thought days gone was better than the last of us!!!! I'm speaking gameplay, story, graphics, cinematics, and fun factor basically speaking where everything overall is concerned. I definitely enjoyed days gone, on a similar level to how good I enjoyed the Witcher three? However I have beat the Witcher three about six times now, and I only ever beat the last of us and days gone once, but I did platinum days gone on my first run because I loved it so much and was absolutely immersed in it!!!
RDR2 was like that, for some time every game i played after just felt empty, Mass Effect was another one, absolute masterpiece in storytelling, another game that doesnt get mentioned a lot and its by no means a aaa title but it will leave you feeling emotinally drained is Life is Strange.
To not mention Dark Souls here seems like a bit of a joke because after playing any of the souls games I’ve literally not been able to play anything else for years - which has led to me not playing ANYTHING waiting for a new release
RDR2 is ny favorite of all the above! But why no mention of Starfield? With all the updates and quality of life improvements it's become a pretty awesome game.
@@PlayHunters_ I thought I had mastered the combat with a mix of dodge, parry, sword, magic and bombs all flowing in harmony and them 2 enemies reduced me to sprint and spam roll lol
I spent a lot of time playing the first Red Dead Redemption, the second one to me just wasn't the same. Batman Arkham gets REALLY good once you have the ability to use Catwoman in gameplay, there ain't another in game character on any console video game like her on that game. I will agree on GTA 5, hopefully GTA 6 when-ever we finally get it will be able to live up to it's predecessor...
I would add: Sid Meiers Pirates / Railroads / Gettysburg (far better than any version of Civ) Far Cry 1 and 2 (total surprises then) Deus Ex Series Dishonored Series Fallout Series Mafia Series Splinter Cell Series Sniper Elite Series The Saboteur Thief Series Velvet Assassin (real WW2 woman assassin) U-Boat and Silent Hunter Headquarters WW2 and Classified France 44 Ultimate Admiral and General Thanks for the list. Regards
Not played GoT or BMW. I beat Dying Light 1 six times and Death Stranding twice and I didn't want to play anything else for a month after each of those games. Nothing came close to those two gaming experiences. The free flowing parkour was amazing. While the other game was so left field gameplay with narrative wise. Only the mind of Kojima could drum up that level of odd, weird and strange and make it all work.
meh, have to disagree with the Witcher 3 one. I just never felt immersed at all. It was like someone handed me a game with their game save and let me play it. I felt no connection to the character or to anything going on in the game. It wasn't my character, it was someone else's character, I was just supposed to play the game as if it WAS my character. no thanks. It was major disappointment to me after hearing everyone rave about how great the game was. The set up made no sense, the story made no sense. events that were happening had no real context. I guess they expected you to already know the story and to already be invested in the character and events. Maybe it should have been a DLC for the previous game or something, i don't know. but as a stand alone game I found it annoying, unfun, and made no sense.
You can literally read and fix all of that because the gane gives backstories so you can fix this exact issue just read about the characters in your journal.
Halo: Combat Evolved OR Halo 3, both redefined FPS games, Halo: CE for its functionality, basically every FPS game borrowed the formula and Halo 3 showed the world what an FPS game online could do.
Agree. Some honourable mentions. Cyberpunk but the recent upgrade. The launch set it back but today it just changed gaming for me. Assassin's Creed 1 really set a benchmark when launched. Mostly to learn about history and give an exact feel of the world at the time. Star Wars force unleashed no other game makes you feel like a sith lord. True about Fortnite but live service has killed the industry as everyone tries to copy it wasting valuable dev resources.
Skyrim is the one game for me. I have clocked about 70,000 to 80k hours since the day that game came out in November 11 2011 I know people who have way more Skyrim is the undefeated game you can not beat the game it's impossible
Well, to me, GOW and GTA3 shocked my teen game world, RDR crashed my college gaming heart, Skyrim dominated my postgraduate mind. Then Witcher3 and GA5 refined my First Job gaming world, until EdRing in my New Dad era, but now, Black Myth. Oh, just to mention, MINECRAFT ruined every other games in one way or another😆
The audacity to put Fortnite even on this list makes me lose hope in humanity.
Agreed

10/10 All the way for me! Didn't stop playing it until I had the platinum!!!!!
(wish we could get a walking dead Game that was similar to it where you got to drive vehicles and everything and there were also vast expenses of countryside, mountains, and cities for you to explore...)
Yeah days gone was incredible
Top 3 favorite games I've ever played
Playing it currently for the first time. It's a good game, but I'm not getting why so many people talk it up quite so hard.
@stevenscott2136 wait until you've finished 😂 some people I've talked to it just wasn't for them. To each there own
an important one for me that you left off the list: Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines. the narrative depth in the area of feeling more like a choose your own adventure book than any other video game before or since... so much can be said for this cult game including the real life references to politics and music still being relevant. the clan powers system... one of the sexiest vampire NPCs ever still to this day. (that also trips you out because she has a multiple personality disorder as she's a Malkavian, and Malkavians tend to be extra insane) the epic tale of the fanbase of modders that survived for two decades until the domain had the rug yanked out from under them (the original owner of the domain died some years back and nothing we could really do about it except back up as much data as possible to port to a future iteration) and the entire forum hosting the mod files was basically tossed in the dumpster. there's the saga of the developer Troika's demise, the game being somehow 'released' and judged for eternity as a cult classic without ever having been fully completed, and the story about the making of a sequel to that game, which is one of the most epic sagas in video game history as well- about 20 years on, and with two development companies later, plus a few years of nail biting and fingers crossed hoping that the project was not shelved indefinitely, still officially now slated for Q2-3 of 2025 (after them saying it was going to arrive late 2024 over a year ago lol! there's been more delays and setbacks on development of this game than any other game I can remember during my more than three decades of video gaming) this sequel Bloodlines II better be the best game you ever played in your life. don't mess it up chinese room! haha! think I only waited about 15 years for Diablo III, and 8 years on Cyberpunk 2077 to put it into perspective, and I have been waiting for Bloodlines 2 since the first game came out in 2004.
Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind was also the best $10 I ever randomly spent on a game I never heard of at Best Buy on the PC game shelf. if you're into modding, that game kind of reinvented the wheel sort of by creating a large persistent modding community, they were really the first of their kind and probably will be the last as well since it doesn't make money for the developers. was really sad when Neverwinter Online cancelled their Foundry system where players could generate their own dungeons and quests, that was the best feature they had going for that game, but they were also trying to monetize it and a portion of the money (because they started selling some of these new dungeons as a cash shop item) would go to the players whose home made dungeons got the most ratings... it quickly got out of hand with the attempt to monetize the usefulness of the modding community, kind of similar to a few other games where they are looking to absorb people's capacity to tax their bodies creating youtube content and the like for pennies or less while the devs sell what they make and keep all the profits themselves for things created by the users they are trying to farm free labor from whether knowingly or unwittingly
Cyberpunk 2077 and DLC...2.0...such a great story and game play, beautiful world.. I need more
Yess
Surprised that Baldur 3 was not included, as for the past year most other games were being compared to it. If BG3 had not come out within a couple months of Starfield, then Starfield would probably have gotten a better rating, even.
No Elden ring is crazy 😂
Which game did it ruin for you? The Souls-like genre?
I agree it shouldn't be on the list. It didn't ruin anything, in fact it made me appreciate other games that are similar but that aren't as difficult
Elden Ring ruined open world games for me I hate all the question marks. Just randomly finding quests in Elden Ring was so good. I started Zelda a year later and put it down after a week same with Ghost of Tushima got it for PC recently and it’s great but it very much follows the standard open world template just can’t motivate myself to pick it up and I’m a massive fan of 70s Samurai films.
@@PlayHunters_ it ruined combat games for me. Idk how you have this list without elden ring. But you glaze gta5
Elden ring is a souls like clone, that is all it is. There is nothing special about it.
I think the Mass Effect trilogy is missing (I just comment this in another video of yours). This trilogy alongside The Witcher 3 really spoiled other games for me. Those are milestones in my games experiences. But your list is also very good. Cheers!
the problem with ME (unlike the games on this list) is no one attempted to replicate it. the thought of good and consequential writing for an entire series was too much of an endeavor for a lot of the AAA publishers.
Same. Everything I play will always be compared to ME.
@jaives Right? ME was about relationships more than anything, and most games don't even try to have interesting characters and adult relationships.
Mass effect was great!
Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro, Elden Ring...
Elden Ring.... meh
Witcher 3 is my favorite video game ever and the Wine and Blood add-on is an absolute MASTERPIECE. I play it every couple of years just to try different storylines and visit new places on the map. The Excalibur sword storyline is so amazing it just blew me away. A wonderful mix of mythology, history, and this amazing virtual world. If this ever came out in VR, I might retire there in my little chateau.
Its RDR2 for me.
After 45 yrs of gaming and playing countless games, RDR2 is the most immersive and detailed ive ever played. Its all Ive played for the last 2 yrs.
It truly is a masterpiece of a game.
that old? i about same age. couldnt stand the game. more i played the more i loathed loading into it. and i love old western games. Skull i think it was from ps2 days. xbox 360 had pretty cool one where u play as 2 brothers.
rd2 is just shit imo. sure it looks nice, lots to do. but story, feel, all so boring and shit. i just wanted to shoot the disc the game loaded on and be done with it.
@@FastDuDeJiunn
65 million copies sold which puts it in 7th place of the highest selling video games of all time. Its Rockstars 2nd highest selling game, only beat by GTA5.
You're in a very small minority of people who don't like it.
Even the top gaming channels rate it as one of the best games ever made.
But, I do understand its not a game for everyone.
65 million copies sold is incredible for a game, and its still selling very well for a game that's going on 7 yrs old.
I still have my xbox 360 and PS2 and the western game with the 2 brothers you are referring to is called, Call of Juarez, bound in blood.
I still have that game.
I was with you until you said "even the top gaming channels...", yuck.@@partlycloudy9443
Final Fantasy X is the best game. By far the best leveling system ever implemented in any RPG. Great story and so much extra content and blitzball. Summons were amazing and so were all of the party characters. I've never enjoyed a game more.
I will say that was one of my favorites!
@@shayorestad5444 10 is my second least favourite after 13. The characters are shit and the story is boring and on rails the voice acting was crap too.
@@CaptainSkylocke you must have played a different game than me because everything you said is incorrect
Baldurs Gate 3 should be here because of just how good the company who made it and how worth every penny this game is. I bought it before release for 40 bucks and got a 70 dollar game. Not only that the company held a stamdard that scared other companies. ❤
Final fantasy 7 made the biggest impact on me as a kid and ignited my love for games
I'm not sure if it was that or the one before or after, but I believe it was the first rpg that I had palyed and just like yourself, I was amazed!
Final fantasy was a redefining genre, and FF7 was awsome pick, (the original, not the remake, that seems over hiped a bit).
FF7 had one of the best storylines ever. That and FF10 where the best.
@@eyeq7730 Was it on Nintendo (FF to FFVI) or Playstation (FFVII and later)? It might not tell you if it was 7 or 8 but it will tell you if it was 6 or not. and HOW can you forget which one it was... VII was a revelation and basically started the "new era" of JRPG's, VIII was "just" a new FF
Mine was Pong.
RDR2 and W3 are the best among the rest... HZD also is a great game but sad it is not included in the list.
It's funny you placed Zelda Breath of the Wild on this list. I remember playing and then playing Nier Automata, followed by Horizon Zero Dawn and Nier Automata is the game that really shattered all my expectations
Nier is on another level, it basically ruined all of gaming for me
@@andytpatt I feel you buddy!
Was looking for someone to mention Nier Automata that was by far the best game of 2017 and truly one of the best games ever made. From the story, gameplay (platinum games 🤤) to the music the game was absolute perfection
I like Kingdom come - Deliverance. Once your brain align with your fingers , there’s no combat system more satisfying. Being with blades or blunt weapons , on foot or on horseback , or a hand to hand fight. The first time you actually hit an enemy the way you intended , single or combo , makes you feel like Conan the barbarian.
I would have replaced Days Gone with Dark Souls games. But other than that. That list was spot on.
Excelent list. I would add:
- Shadows of War
- Days Gone
- Metal Gear Solid V - Phantom Pain
- Horizon Zero Down
- Death Stranding
For me personally, that game is Outriders. All games just pale in story, gameplay, classes and abilities, weapons. Fantastic and criminally underrated.
Great list !! I recommend so many of these games
Well narrated bro
I enjoyed your vid
Days gone is a 100% top game, one of the best imo
More please
I'm glad you liked it. Days Gone is really good, maybe one day it'll get a sequel. Hope is the last thing to die 😂.
Kingdom come deliverance and Mass Effect trilogy my favorites also
Great games
fun drinking game, take a shot everytime this guy says engaged. Stopped counting at 1,857,953,254,782,145,625
The alcohol coma achievement will be unlocked successfully 😂😂😂
Damn bro. You must have been engaged to this video
Take 2 shots for redefined.
Wait I was drinking on redefined LMFAO 🤣
typical chatgpt script and he didnt even take the time to alter it.
Good reference on what to buy next. But thankfully I have ai think atleast half of these list 😁
Can you do best third person shooter single player?
Great to hear you go into some depth on each game. I'll definitely be checking out some from the video
Many of these games I haven't played yet. I beaten Skyrim and the Arkham trilogy but that's about it on this list. I'm a fan of jrpgs so my picks are Eternal Sonata I was blown away with how good this game was, beautiful visuals (for its time, totally unique story, a great sound track and great characters. Lost Odyssey was another amazing jrpg with a great story, memory sequences that were really well written, also looked great for its time. The Walking Dead Series and Life is Strange, the narrative of both games kept me invested with memories of each game having a lasting impression well after completing them. But the walking sim aspect won't appeal to everyone.
Great observations 🔥🔥
The last of us was hands down the biggest, heart wrenching emotion roller-coaster I've ever had in a game.
Baldur's Gate should have been there
Yep, i can't stand watching cutscenes or dialogue in any other game since i played bg3. BG3 is like going to the best theater performance available, whereas most other games are tantamount a school play performed by 8 year olds. Even the games with better voice acting like eg RDR2 don't come close to BG3.
dude his chatgpt only has data up to 2022 or so.
Why? 😂😂😂 game is trash
Skyrim
Witcher 3
Baldur's Gate 3
God of War: Ragnarok
Assassins Creed (Vikings)
Red Dead Redemption 2
Pretty much in that order.
I agree Skyrim should have been higher on the list. Witcher is great but is still following in Skyrim's footsteps. I am glad to see it on there though! Now to just see them start remaking all these games for VR!
Witcher 3 = 🐐
🔥🔥
Witcher is a pretty great game, was pretty cool - Witcher 3 is just more of the same Witcher 1 & 2, with better graphics. Of course I'm not implying its bad, of course (as my self bought it twice , for PS and PC), but it's not enough to be eclipsing other games.Just my opinion.
@@pedrocoelho5562 I've never played the 1st 2, so it was incredible for me.
@@OreoDave Yep, it is good as I said, but there's a tendency on just picking the last game out, when the series started eay earlier. The feeling of getting the innovative content would still be there if you started playing the original (not just Wticher one but most games). But glad there's another wtcher fan out there, we need more player base in these kind of games, so more come out in the future!
I was kinda looking to see Horizon:zero dawn. I enjoyed and it really got me into RPG games and very little have matched up, even forbidden west was a let down after zero dawn. The attention to detail and the interaction with the environment, and storylines were amazing. The thing I'll never forget, well two things actually, 1. once i was crawling in tall grass avoiding enemies because my life was low and an arrow flew over my head, I panicked because I thought I was spotted, but the eye that lets you know when you're visible to enemies was closed so I thought it was a glitch but looked around to make sure and while looking around I saw some of the people from a settlement fighting a snapmaw and one of their arrows that missed went astray and stuck in the rock near where I was. I was blow away. 2. Then a short wile later I climbed a very tall mountain and fought glinthawk. I killed it very close to the edge of the mountain then walked into it so it would fall. When I was done with what I was doing on the mountain and went down the glinthawk I pushed down was there laying at the bottom of the mountain. I loved the attention to detail very much. Enjoyed that game fully. I was sad because I never got the "frozen wilds" extension to work but it was the best for me. Very few RPG games pay that much attention to detail and interaction with the environment. Been looking for one that comes close to it ever since so I'll be checking out some on this list. But I have to agree with @mrheyzeus. To put Fortnite on the list is a bit audacious.
GTA, RdR and uncharted are the GOATS
Spiderman has to be an honorable mentions
I'd add AC Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla to the list. I love their stories and open worlds.
PS3 Tomb Raiders was a classic too
Someone else did a video like this and you hit waaaaay more "perfect" games than the other guy. I haven't played all the games on your list and i haven't finished Black Myth but you definitely have an eye for unforgettable games. Now im interested in the games i haven't played on your list.
The only game I've played for years, is Kingdom come Deliverance, the best game I have ever played
Ark?
Loot River?
Id say the one you missed was GR wildlands. Was a true game changer.
Best game I've ever played, and i have multiple consoles, and PC but NOTHING to this day has blown me away like the Half Life 2 and it's expansions....probably my most replayed were Skyrim and Metal Gear Solid 4, as far as newer games BOTW, Nier Automata, Cyberpunk, Witcher 3 of course, some memorable campaigns that don't get talked about enough are Enslaved Odyssey to the West, Spec Ops the Line, Hitman Absolution, Splinter Cell Blacklist (both black sheep games that were VERY unfairly judged by being different from the others in the series) Super Mario Galaxy games, Persona 3 FES, F.E.A.R. and expansions, Bioshock Infinite, Zelda Ocarina of Time, Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction, Unreal Tournament 2004, Castlevania Lament of Innocence and Curse of Darkness if weren't Castlevania games would be FAR higher rated,
Legacy of Kain Defiance, Hotline Miami games, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Watch Dogs 2, Metro 2033 and Last Light, Final Fantasy X, GTA IV, Fallout 3 never gets the credit it deserves, Dying Light and expansion still is one of the Best ever, Deus Ex Human Revolution, Crysis Warhead, Borderlands 2, Bloodstained Ritual of the Night, Battlefield 3 campaign, Assassin's Creed 2,Rainbow Six Vegas 1 and 2, Ghost Recon Wildlands, I could go on forever 😀 👍
Favorite NPC Chocalina FFXIII-2 😍😍🤣🤣
Maffia 3 should be on here
This list is a little bit RPG heavy. From my long gaming career, i remember
the following games that left a mark and that i completed multiple times:
Amnesia: The Dark Descent
Assassin’s Creed 2 + Black Flag
Bioshock
Crysis
Defense Grid
Duke Nukem 3D
Dune 2
Fallout 3
Frostpunk
Gothic 1+2+3
Half-Life 1+2
Kingdom Come: Deliverance
Mass Effect 2
Metro 2033 + Exodus
Orcs Must Die 2
Ori and the Blind Forest
Portal
Quake
R-Type
Rune
Secret of Monkey Island
Severance: Blade of Darkness
Soma
Starcraft 2
Talos Principle 1+2
The Room
Unreal
Warcraft 3
Xenon 2
Yoshi's Island
I don’t think they ruined any games for me if anything they’ve put me off open world games to many question marks.
Resident evil was the 1st game that made me scared and FF7 1st to make me shed a tear.
🔥🔥
Facts! Final fantasy was great!
I played RDR2 after Baldur's Gate 3 while playing Deep Rock Galactic....those three right there made me stop looking at other games.
Its old AF, but Perfect Dark for N64 belongs on here.
It set a bunch of standards for all future FPS games, and was the first to have AI opponents for the multiplayer mode.
Perfect Dark as it is a great game is also a clone of Golden Eye 007.
@@checko_o7524 it was made by the same developers as Goldeneye.
Prey (2017) is like this for me. After playing it I friggin scoured the internet to find something similar and failed. I guess the only same'ish feel came from RE1+RE2. I like the claustrophobic "I'm trapped in this environment and I need to get out" theme. So posting this in the hope someone has something for me :(
You deserve more likes, but I guess that is a generation thing. Great job on creating the context of most of the games and I agree on the points. You miss some like Cyberpunk... rough launch but impressive story telling and they really caught up with the expansion. Anyway nice video.
Hey, my friend. I’m really glad to hear you’re enjoying it. I’ve already talked about Cyberpunk in several other videos on the channel, but I always try to mix things up to avoid repeating the same games. Cyberpunk is one of those games that, whenever I don’t mention it, a lot of people comment that it was missing. I think that’s really cool because it shows how the game managed to bounce back. And that’s something quite rare because, usually, when a game has a rocky launch, even when developers work hard to fix the initial issues, it’s tough for the game to truly recover. Cyberpunk is an example that, with care and attention from the developers, a game can indeed make a comeback.
Mass effect series was the most impactful for me.
A lot of people are of course saying RDR2 . But I would venture to say that the orginal Red Dead Redemption should also be listed as one of the greatest.
Witcher 3❤❤❤❤❤top best ❤❤❤ Skyrim also and RDR2❤❤❤Top of all time 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
God of War, Street Fighter, and Final Fantasy 7
RDR2 is literally epic, without doubt the greatest game ever made
Snowrunner should be in this list. It's a reference for truck, offroad, crane and transportation simulation. I can not imagine going back to other truck simulators after playing for now more than 600 hours.
I didn't know about this one, but it seems interesting. I'll check it out later. Thanks for the recommendation, my friend.
@@PlayHunters_ awesome list of games yours. I'll revisit this video when I do not know what to play . I am from 16 Bit console generation and lost track for games from 2006 until 2022, so I did not know about how these games impacted the whole industry.
Missing Armored Core From Software,but i digress. As for Black Myth it reminds me of PS2 Beyond Good and Evil
Battlefront 2 , old as hell, but possibly could make a list like this if it was bigger. It put all the other Star Wars games down two notches. Force Unleashed was good
The only one who got bored and quit Uncharted after the second one because it seemed like all the stories were the same you fight to find the treasure you find out its cursed you destroy it
RDR2 is the hands down video game GOAT. I’ve played hundreds and hundreds of hours and still find new things to crack me up. Witcher III in 2nd place.
GOD OF WAR! There was nothing like it before, and there will be nothing like it again. I mean, you were damned to Hades, and fought your way out. You killed Icarus, titans, and Zeus himself. There was so much to do, and so many things to figure out. And the combat, with the weapon upgrades. It makes me want to fire up my 60 GB PS3 and start from the beginning again.
No Death Stranding, All God of Wars, All Spidermans, Days gone, Border lands, Horizon Forbidden West & Zero Dawn, Last of us part 1 & 2, Detroit becoming Human, Hitman, Devil May Cry, Fallout, Resident Evil, Star Wars Jedi, Assassins Creeds, Far Cry 4,5,6 , Metal Gears Series, Bioshock, Atomic Heart...
Damn just to name some off the top of my head that were killer games that I recommend everyone play.
There's always more. I can further think of the Dark Souls series, both Ori's, the last two Zelda games or a list of classic RPG and adventure games. Thankfully there is always something to play and enjoy.
This just proves you can’t read titles or that you didn’t watch the video at all.
Far cry 3 really got me hooked, couldn’t put the controller down until I finished it
I can't take a list seriously that doesn't have Days Gone, Fallout 3, and 4, BioShock, RDR2 or HL2 on it. The list should been titled "MY 17 Single Player games... etc"
Mass Effect, BioShock, Crysis... Your list was good but missed a lot of important titles.
RDR2, the connection dumbfounds me still today. When Arthur died, even knowing it was coming, I just sat there, no interest to keep playing. Still not finished. I just put it away with some respect like a funeral.
Yea u can’t have a list like this without dark souls or elden ring games that literally started its own genre you know souls like 😂
The game that started the Souls ike genre was Demon's Souls.
But both are great games as well.
@@PlayHunters_ yea I know I meant soul games in general
I thought days gone was better than the last of us!!!!
I'm speaking gameplay, story, graphics, cinematics, and fun factor basically speaking where everything overall is concerned. I definitely enjoyed days gone, on a similar level to how good I enjoyed the Witcher three? However I have beat the Witcher three about six times now, and I only ever beat the last of us and days gone once, but I did platinum days gone on my first run because I loved it so much and was absolutely immersed in it!!!
RDR2 was like that, for some time every game i played after just felt empty, Mass Effect was another one, absolute masterpiece in storytelling, another game that doesnt get mentioned a lot and its by no means a aaa title but it will leave you feeling emotinally drained is Life is Strange.
Hitman World of Assassination is more than worthy of a spot.
To not mention Dark Souls here seems like a bit of a joke because after playing any of the souls games I’ve literally not been able to play anything else for years - which has led to me not playing ANYTHING waiting for a new release
RDR2 is ny favorite of all the above! But why no mention of Starfield? With all the updates and quality of life improvements it's become a pretty awesome game.
Metal Gear and Fallout would make my list.
Blood and wine had the most surprisingly difficult boss battle I have ever encountered.
I spent a long time on that vampire at the end 😂. But I really got stuck on that damn frog at the beginning of the other DLC 😂😂
@@PlayHunters_that frog was rough lmao
@@PlayHunters_ I thought I had mastered the combat with a mix of dodge, parry, sword, magic and bombs all flowing in harmony and them 2 enemies reduced me to sprint and spam roll lol
That haunted-house in Heart of Stone that ends with six Everics, each tougher than the last....
this video needed to be limited to a a decade at a time
I spent a lot of time playing the first Red Dead Redemption, the second one to me just wasn't the same. Batman Arkham gets REALLY good once you have the ability to use Catwoman in gameplay, there ain't another in game character on any console video game like her on that game. I will agree on GTA 5, hopefully GTA 6 when-ever we finally get it will be able to live up to it's predecessor...
Grim Dawn worth a spot on this list once you get into the game it’s thousands of hours of fun
I would add:
Sid Meiers
Pirates / Railroads / Gettysburg
(far better than any version of Civ)
Far Cry 1 and 2 (total surprises then)
Deus Ex Series
Dishonored Series
Fallout Series
Mafia Series
Splinter Cell Series
Sniper Elite Series
The Saboteur
Thief Series
Velvet Assassin (real WW2 woman assassin)
U-Boat and Silent Hunter
Headquarters WW2 and Classified France 44
Ultimate Admiral and General
Thanks for the list.
Regards
Great suggestions, my friend, all awesome games.
🌑 *THE LONG DARK* 🌑
DA:Origins, Mass Effect Trilogy and Baldurs Gate 3 have all left their mark on me. Now every game I play is just dissatisfying.😔
Not played GoT or BMW. I beat Dying Light 1 six times and Death Stranding twice and I didn't want to play anything else for a month after each of those games. Nothing came close to those two gaming experiences. The free flowing parkour was amazing. While the other game was so left field gameplay with narrative wise. Only the mind of Kojima could drum up that level of odd, weird and strange and make it all work.
Thank you for the list. I would add Nier Automata and Bayonetta. I keep playing them now and then.
I'm glad you liked it, both games you suggested are very good
In fact, I included Bayonetta in today's video, with forgotten but amazing games
meh, have to disagree with the Witcher 3 one. I just never felt immersed at all. It was like someone handed me a game with their game save and let me play it. I felt no connection to the character or to anything going on in the game. It wasn't my character, it was someone else's character, I was just supposed to play the game as if it WAS my character. no thanks. It was major disappointment to me after hearing everyone rave about how great the game was. The set up made no sense, the story made no sense. events that were happening had no real context. I guess they expected you to already know the story and to already be invested in the character and events. Maybe it should have been a DLC for the previous game or something, i don't know. but as a stand alone game I found it annoying, unfun, and made no sense.
it was the cutscenes in the first witcher game that were the milestone at the time imo
I agree 💯
You can literally read and fix all of that because the gane gives backstories so you can fix this exact issue just read about the characters in your journal.
@@29264j or I can go play a game where it's MY character and I'm automatically connected to who he is and what he's doing, because it's MY character.
No FO4 ???
Excellent collections !!
Thanks 🔥
Halo: Combat Evolved OR Halo 3, both redefined FPS games, Halo: CE for its functionality, basically every FPS game borrowed the formula and Halo 3 showed the world what an FPS game online could do.
Witcher 3, the greatest game of all time imo
Stardew Valley?
Valheim
Days Gone is so slept on 😅
Fallout, Borderlands, a few I find pretty fun. MMOs of course.
RDR2 is a masterpiece. Best game ever made hands down
Yesss
Have you ever heard of Blade of Darkness? Combat mechanics is so good for a 2001 game!
Agree. Some honourable mentions. Cyberpunk but the recent upgrade. The launch set it back but today it just changed gaming for me. Assassin's Creed 1 really set a benchmark when launched. Mostly to learn about history and give an exact feel of the world at the time. Star Wars force unleashed no other game makes you feel like a sith lord. True about Fortnite but live service has killed the industry as everyone tries to copy it wasting valuable dev resources.
I love Force Unleashed. I was just talking about it yesterday with a friend of mine. For me, it's the best Star Wars game
it was so much fun.
Skyrim is the one game for me. I have clocked about 70,000 to 80k hours since the day that game came out in November 11 2011
I know people who have way more Skyrim is the undefeated game you can not beat the game it's impossible
I would love a remaster of The Witcher 3.
me too
Well, to me, GOW and GTA3 shocked my teen game world, RDR crashed my college gaming heart, Skyrim dominated my postgraduate mind. Then Witcher3 and GA5 refined my First Job gaming world, until EdRing in my New Dad era, but now, Black Myth. Oh, just to mention, MINECRAFT ruined every other games in one way or another😆
Kingdom Come: Deliverance should be on here too.
