Feel free to list a few video games from different genres. Best is definitely subjective and I’m sure there are many “Best” games for various categories.

Half Life: Alyx for example is widely considered the “Best” VR game. Many would agree it’s the best Action VR game, but it wouldn’t be the “Best” for puzzles.

To make it easier I’ll list the types of Genres for Video Games from Wikipedia. Please do give suggestions for some of the highest quality games you’ve played from various categories:

  • Action: Platform games, shooter, fighting, survival, etc
  • Action-Adventure: Survival horror
  • Adventure: Interactive, real time, 3d, text adventures, etc
  • Puzzle: Exploration, trial and error, breakout, logical games, etc
  • Role-playing: Action RPG, MMORPG, tactical, sandbox, etc
  • Simulation: Management, life simulation, vehicle simulation, etc
  • Strategy: Real time, turn based, wargame, grand strategy, etc
  • Sports: Racing, competitive, sports games, etc
  • MMO: Massively multiplayer online game
  • Openworld: Sandbox, creative, open world, etc

Note: Non-exhaustive category list. There are more such as card games, board games, etc. Please check the wiki link above for more categories to get ideas for the “best” games.

I personally would recommend Subnautica (Open World), Half Life: Alyx (VR Action-Adventure), The Witcher 3 (Role-playing), Black Mesa (Action), Titanfall 2 (Action), Portal 2 (Puzzle), Battlebit (MMO/Action), and Half Life 3 (Fictional Game).

    I had to stop playing it because of the faux “British” accent. It goes right through me. Feels like such a stupid thing to be put off by but it’s just so jarringly unnatural, it’s horribly off-putting.

    The way he says “mate”… omg

    I remember looking up who did the voice for Zagreus or whatever his name is, and the dude is clearly one of the big dicks at Supergiant. Think he played some major part in the sound design for Bastion or something. Can’t remember.

    Anyway, I get the feeling he is senior enough when it comes to sound stuff that he was basically able to decide he would be the voice of the MC and then proceeded to go full Dick Van Dyke without people feeling able to criticize it.

    Don’t know if it’s because I’m from the UK that I find it so uncanny and awful, or if it’s just me in particular but it’s probably the most random thing that’s ever completely ruined a (otherwise great) game for me
