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).

    There are plenty of games like this from the last few years. Elden Ring, Zelda, TLOU2, GoW2 just to name some AAA titles. Many indie games too. It just got a bit more annoying to filter out the cash grabs.

      True but let’s take for example elder ring, even if updated for free it something keep in mutating by updates bigger that dlcs, it didn’t come out from the box ready. This annoys me, not having a production finished when I buy, also the dependecy of the net to keep downloading and fix this games. I can’t recall something similar in the past when physically buying the cd without even internet I was used to play mine PS1/2.
