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.

    It’s been 15 minutes since I’m trying to rank my top 10 games, but it’s impossible. I love them all for different reasons, they’re all n°1 in my memories. So I’ll go with an unordered top 10, deal with it. Of course there’s nothing objective in that list.

    ​

    • Skyrim. The first game I have been truly, completely, utterly involved in. I enjoyed every hour playing, even more with mods. I still regularly come back to it.
    • Planescape : Torment. Old game, but the writing and the worldbuilding got me. Everywhere you look, you’ll find a comment, a little interesting fact, a funnily lame pun.
    • Witcher 3. Basically Skyrim 2 for the way I felt playing it. Especially the Blood and Wine extension.
    • Minecraft modded. This game is just infinite possibilities of exploration and creativity for me.
    • Baldur’s Gate 3. This game checks everything I’m looking for in a CRPG. I’m on my 3rd playthrough, it’s still as epic as the first one, i still enjoy it thoroughly.
    • Yakuza Like a Dragon. My god this game. How can you have such a deep and serious main story and such silly sidequests at the same time. No game has had me passing from crying to laughing so rapidly.
    • NieR Automata. Wierd, atmospheric, original, surprising, compelling, even if boring sometimes. This game simply sucked me in its atmosphere. It compares to no other experience I’ve had in gaming. Bonus point for the music.
    • Warhammer 3 Total War. I love the setting, I love building armies and slowly rolling over the world. It’s a no-brain game for me.
    • Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. I’m probably very biased because I love ancient greek mythology. This game is gorgeous, the story was cool, and even if the sidequest felt repetitive in the end, I loved simply travelling through those landcapes.
    • Warcraft 3. I have nothing more to add. No other strategy game has felt the same after this one.

    Honorable Mentions : Too many to list be here’s a few : Dishonored, Death Stranding, Pillars of Eternity 1 and 2, Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2, Divinity : the Dragon Knight Saga, Dragon Age Origins, Persona 5, Starcraft 1 and 2, Age of Empire 3, Battle for Midle-Earth 1 and 2, Nier Replicant, Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2, Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2, Icewind Dale and many more.
