    Outer wilds is the only game I’ve ever played where I thought to myself that everyone needed to play it at least once before they died. I’ve never in my life experienced something that made me feel so at peace with my own mortality. That may sound grand but once you’ve played it and gone through the journey and experienced the end, only then will you get it.

    Despite the initial hate, Cyberpunk 2077 really did have an amazing story for me and left me wanting more. Other people have also been saying Outer Wilds and I can confirm that it can genuinely be one of the most amazing games depending on what type of player you are. For me, it took a little bit before I was really hooked and the pieces started to click together but once they do, there is almost no other gaming experience. The best game that you can't talk about, the best game with absolutely no replayablility.

    I love Morrowind and Skyrim, but Oblivion truly is special. I love how every NPC has it's own personality and opinions on the world. The game doesn't take itself too seriously, it has a lot of funny quests and NPCs (which are taken to a whole new level in Shivering isles). I love and play Skyrim for it's world (and mods of course), Morrowind for it's hardcore RPG mechanics. But when I just want to have fun I always play Oblivion.

The way the world feels so alive makes the immersion so much fun, along with it being first person, and even basic game fundamentals like combat, story, and weapons are amazing too.

With all this "but man have to be presented that way, woman to be presented that way", just give us good and fun characters. On a side-note the expansion Phantom Liberty will release in September on PC and next-gen only and I really do hope that a lot of things they wanted to be in the game was cut out simply because last gen couldn´t handle it (better NPC AI for example).

    Nope 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Many good things can be said about the Yakuza series, but it's definitely not it's storytelling. Now, I'm not a definitive expert on this as I have only played Kiwami and parts of Like A Dragon, but the sample is enough to justify it not being "master class in story telling". In Kiwami, you don't know who 75% of the cast is, it's just name dropping in every scene with the associated clan or family attachment to it. The ones you remember are either the very important characters (like the kid or the character you play as) or it is some that has very distinct characteristics, like the fat guy without a shirt on. They seem to have learned this by Like a Dragon, as I did not face the same issue. However, the cutscenes, the are so long. I usually don't complain about this, I have played Kojima games after all, but between chapter 3 and 4, there was a 30 minute cutscene (5 cutscenes without a break). That's too long, and it could be reduced to maximum of 4 minutes, as 90% of it was exposition that is not needed, it makes perfect sense to a 10 year old kid (this is not inception or anything that requires above average brain cells). So boring, and there are many instances of this throughout the game. That is just examples and I could go into more fundamental issues that plague the games in terms of narration, characters and thematics that just highlights how far it is in terms of 'master class in story telling'. In my view it's average story telling, maybe below it even, but they are still fun games to play.

    All wonderful recommendations! I'd like to suggest Outer Wilds (not to be confused with Outer Worlds) as another game that really pushes what games can be and how well a game can stick with you. It's fairly short and sweet, has a super cute art style and a really well done soundscape, and the story and gameplay work in tandem beautifully. The only issue is learning anything about it/ getting any spoilers can ruin the experience, and it's a game that you can only experience for the first time once

    One game that completely hooked me with story and changed my view on gaming after completing it was Hades. The amazing story and depth of every single character, item and area paired with the rogue like elements which provide a constant feeling of progress and challenge just made it addicting. The gameplay loop may be repetitive but the story provides such a strong drive to keep going and just always feels like it has more to give and has some big moments that have made me more emotionally invested in the game than I have any game in a while.

    After I beat Cyberpunk with the Star ending, I literally cried. I have never cried playing a game before in my life. The story, the world, it felt like I had become a part of it. Losing Johnny felt like a punch to the stomach after growing so close to him. And that ending with V and Panaam sitting on the Basilisk was so satisfying and magical. The game made me think aboit my own life and the things I’ve done and want to do. I honestly kinda feel like a changed person after playing that game. It is one of the best games I’ve ever played and it is snugly I’m my top 10

    This video in its entirety was truely inspiring, and as someone who considers themself a casual gamer (flicking between the same 3-4 multiplayer games) I often forget how much the medium has to offer. I am truely excited to play as many of the games you mentioned before I die. It did however sadden me to see that you did not mention Shadow of The Colossus, as it is one of the few single player experiences I have had the pleasure of enjoying and I can truely say it has changed my life. I think everyone should play Shadow of The Colossus before they die, though I cannot provide a video essay explaining why. If you haven't already FranklyGaming, I would recommend you play this game before you die, and if you have, I would love to hear your articulate and well thought out opinions on it.

    My husband and I played “it takes two” and I can’t tell you the emotions we went through. We’ve been together for 8 years and we have a 4 year old daughter and the first 3 years of our relationship before I got pregnant was wild… we shouldn’t have made it through the things we did. As a couple and as individuals. But we did. Then after we had our daughter things changed. And after a while all relationships go through changes. Especially with a child added. But I can say with true honesty that playing that game made us have fun together as a couple rather than just a family, we learned we could work together to get better results, we learned how good we are at communicating and how well we knew each other without a word spoken and how lucky we are to have that. I cannot recommend that game more highly. He and I both play very different games, neither of us are really into that type normally but wow did we identify with that one on so many levels. If you’re looking for a game to play with an SO, that’s the one.

    A few games I'd add to your list: Vintage Story - A pure survivalist game that stemmed from Minecraft, and was originally one of it's mods (TerraFirmaCraft). Collect sticks and knapp flint into toolheads, pixel by pixel to make a tool. There are no stone picks, so you need to collect metal infused pebbles, and smelt them for your first pick and hammer. Make alloys of different types of bronze. Smith iron on an anvil, pixel by pixel... once you find iron, which might take you a real world week to find. It's the most realistic 3D survivalist game out there. Starbound - 2D platformer sandbox where you hop from world to world, system to system to gain resources, fighting a huge list of enemies in a large list of biomes, many more if you add the Frackin Universe mod. Take the main RPG questline, or ignore it almost entirely. Take side quests, build a home, a populated city, rebuild your ship to your heart's content, or build a populated mothership. Survive alone, or build a small army to fight with you. Be a fighter, a colonist, a quester, miner, or even a bee keeper, and collect just about anything you encounter as a pet... just don't keep titan pets anywhere near your base...

    Many games I would add to this list like Red Dead Redemption 2, Outer Wilds and The Witcher 3 have already been mentioned. However, one I haven't seen mentioned is Disco Elysium. Granted that type of game isn't for everyone, but for those that like well-built worlds with extensive (and I mean EXTENSIVE) world building, a great story with many choices and consequences and a unique way of developing your character through different personality traits and ideals, this is an absolute gem.

    Holy shit I’m so happy someone said it. Disco Elyiusm is one of the best games I have ever played, and in my opinion, some of the best writing and world-building seen in recent times. It is TRULY one-of-a-kind, so much emotion sewn through the entire experience. And as a writer, this game gave me a lot of inspiration and a lot of new words to play with

    @solokom I do get that. For me it was just the perfect game to fully immerse myself in. The animations were all so beautiful and I got really sucked into the story and characters. It was the type of game where I actively wanted to take it slow and just walk through a town for example. However, I fully understand that this is not for everyone and also depends on the amount of time you have for example.

    when i think of games that should be on a list of "must play" games' , i think of games that cahnged the face of gaming when they released , or games taht were so different and unique that few if any one (other games) copied them. here's my list of must play games 1. Pac man. the one and only the original. 2. Super mario bros. This game single handedly invented the platformer. 3. The legend of Zelda . no explanation needed 4. Sonic the hedgehog 5. Teenage mutant ninja Turles : turtles in time (arcade original or SNES version) . sure there are other non liscened IP beat em' up i could have listed like double dragon. and while iconic in it's own right , no beat 'em up quite nailed it like the TMNT: TiT. 6. Mario Kart (pick one any in the series will do here) 7. Doom (if you haven't heard of this game , what rock have you been under) 8. Resident evil 2 , sure it's the sequel but in imo the OG RE2 was the pinnacle of the survival genre , and the RE series hasn't come close to being this good ever again. 9. Dino Crisis . it's RE but on crack with dinosaurs ... why hasn't capcom revived this series? 10: Halo Series cause you can't play just ones oh i'm sorry were you epecting a list of more modern games that only exist because somehting else existed first .. but just only looks prettier than what came first. well ok i'll give you what you want . 11. Soul calibur. The Dreamcast original is one of the best 3d fighters ever imo. and while the first game on PS1 (soul blade) was good as well , this game (soul calibur) sold Dream cast systems back in the day as one of the DC launch titles. 12. Mechwarrior 2 mercenaries , and mechwarrior 4 mercenaries; for the PC only fnas , these two are must play games. (though i prefer mechwarrior2 ) you'll ahve to build an old win 98 system to get it running 100% right. so i threw MW4 on ehre as well because you can still get it to run fine on windows 10. 13. Dark souls 3 or Elden ring. again listing two because they are so simular, i'd go for DS 3 , but if a linear pathed world isn;'t your thing , then go for elden ring. 14. The legend of Zelda Breath of the wild. it's zelda but then it's so different from most other zelda games. i kinda missed the old dungeon puzzle crawler game play of older zelda's but not enough to make me dislike this game. i'm finding it's direct sequel harder to get into though. 15. Mass effect series. play them all. period. 16. Baldur's gate 1 and 2 Plus expansions. this here is one of the best crafted game stories of all time , and it's where bioware got their start. 17. Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 . another bioware master piece , wrapped up by Obsidian ent. with KoToR 2. both games are masterpieces 18. Elderscrolls 5 : skyrim. i personally will always prefer ES3 morrowind , but i recognize that many people were turned off by it's more RPG elements that said i can't go with his oblivion on the list because the story jsut broke a cardinal rule of game story design. Never make the biggest "cheese" a npc. in ES 3 , youw ere the Neverine, in skyrim you were the dragon born. in oblivion you were just the guy/gal helping the emperor's son fullfill his destiny. it really took the fire out of my desire to play the game any more when i realized my cahradter was not the big hero in the end fight , instead i was just a lacy dodging this crazy battle between these two god like entities, just like every other nobody citizen. it felt anti-climatical. 19. Neverwinter Nights (and all expansions). another bioware classic. bioware actually set out to create atoolset for players to create their own DND 3.0 games online . however their publisher at the time (atari) wanted them to make a game not just the engine , so they did. the game itself is great the story is typical old bioware polish and the expansions even expand on that. 20. Final Fantasy VII . another oldy but one EVERY one should play , and not the new remake , talking the original especially now you can get it on steam or jsut about any console online store i'll end my list there it could go on up to 50- easily. most gamers play at least that many games in their life i'm sure. me personally , i have played more games than i can imagine to count , having been gaming since the atari 2600 days LOL (gen Xer here).

    My top game series of all time is Mass Effect Legendary, and ME1 is the genesis of it all. I have never been so involved in a game, story or experience. The characters are rich, the story is deep and affecting, and the choices are - sometimes heartbreakingly - impactful. Incredible voice acting and music as well. One of the best, if not THE best. When I finished ME 3 I was gutted. Then I went back and played through the Citadel DLC again (more than once) and did the final battle again. And was even more gutted. I can’t even hear the ME1 opening theme - or the ME3 final music - without tears welling up.

The story, characters, soundtrack and the city itself are all so cool. My only real complaints stem from UI bugs, the oftentimes inconsistent combat and the fact that it's main story is waaaayyyy too short. Luckily the side missions and everything else makes up for it, for the most part since some of its story is told through lore entries after doing NCPD scans and whatnot.

    I appreciate oblivion being on here but Skyrim should definitely be on here too, even though they're both similar they're also still quite different. Skyrim has probably had the biggest impact on me gaming wise, it's what truly got me into gaming. Another game I would say people need to play at some point in their lives is borderlands 2, Handsome Jack is probably the best written video game villain ever and I got so invested in the story

    3 games in atm, but this list seems like a good cross section of different genres and gameplay styles. These may not be a list of the best games, but I think it hits a good intersection of games that are amazing to play, but not just all games we've all played before. IE: Oblivion instead of Skyrim. It's a list that will most certainly have some games you may have played, and some you haven't. Solid work.

    Cyberpunk had me from the beginning. A few weeks before launch I had just ended a 3 year relationship and moved back from atlanta to my shitty crime-ridden neighborhood states away. It was so surreal hearing somebody ask V “how was atlanta” and him giving a vague non-answer. It was exactly what I’d been doing in my days before launch reconnecting with friends. That game hit me hard fr.

    I remember playing Mass Effect on my second hand Xbox 360 in early 2008 just after it had launched and it just blew me away, I was 10 and could not believe how much lore and world building was in one single video game, absolute classic that game.

    Finally someone who mentions PREY , when i played that game i was so impressed, a Halflife/Bioshock had a baby game , that was one of the best games released in years to come when it came out IDK if you ever played Returnal, it's a really good game, itr looks simple and just a simplistic game kinda like a oldskool game , just running around shooting things from third person while avoiding projectiles, but the story and the combat had me blown away, it became one of my all time favorites as well

    maybe a strange one but i would have put west of loathing on there too, with what you said about the importance of well done comedy, west of loathing has had me in tears laughing from the get go, as well as allowing choices to the player, do you choose to follow the path of the necromancer to be more powerful or avoid it, so many fun secrets to uncover, what a great game.
