The 80s and 90s kid can relate to the obsession towards video games. I still remember when our cousins used to plan a Saturday night where we used to have delicious snacks and play on playstations for hours and hours. Perhaps the games were so engaging and alluring that we couldn’t resist diving into them. However, with some experiences, I can suggest to you what is the best video games of all time and why.
For me, the Red Dead Redemption was the best. But my cousin, who loves thrills, used to find GTA 5 more enticing. Maybe your choice can be different and you may find another game as the best option. That’s why we are here with some top-class games that are creating hype around the world.
5 Best Video Games Of All Time
Well, it’s hard to say which video game is the best of all time. But yes, the numbers of the best video games are very picky. So let’s have a look at them.
The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild
Perhaps we all know about the Legend of Zelda by Nintendo in 1986. Since then we all have been waiting for the next version. Luckily after many instalments Nintendo and Wii U managed to give us the second version of it, which is The Legend Of Zelda: Breath of the wild. So this Breath of the Wild was launched in 2017 which came with more classic series.
What happens in this game is, you will be given the freedom to explore the world of Hyrule. Here, you will get to solve hidden puzzles, landmarks, enemy camps, etc. Then you have to play against the Calamity Ganon who wants to ruin the world, and you have to protect Princess Zelda too. Moreover, you will get some supernatural powers.
Not only the bizzare ways makes the Breath of the World worth it, but also its engines by legendary champions. Thanks to the designers who gave this game a mixture of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and the Shadow of the Colossus.

Red Dead Redemption 2
How can we forget the Red Dead Redemption that carries so much emotion among the players? In this game, whoever plays, plays the role of Arthur Morgan. He is the member of a gang, named Van der Linde, who needs to deal with the Wild West decline. You will see that while playing the Red Dead Redemption, you have to indulge in various tasks. Such as riding horses, going hunting, looting places, and so on. Your activities are going to rank you. If your decisions and actions are right, your, i.e. Arthur Morgan’s honor rating will increase. In the same way, your criminal activity will affect the bounty hunters and the law enforcement.
This game has a lot to do with emotions. Like, you are playing the role of Arthur Morgan, so some of your activity may lead to betrayal or agony. You have to deal with it being the character. Then you have to deal with your enemies too. In short, you will start living in that scenario. At last, players will be in the character of John Martson.
The Red Dead Redemption 2 is full of action and adventure. Rockstar Games, the publisher of this game, launched it in 2018. Since then, it has made a huge place among the hearts of gamers.
Grand Theft Auto 5
Another action-adventure game we all know is the Grand Theft Auto 5. Here, the players are in the character of Michael De Santa, a retired robber, Trevor Philips, a gun dealer, and Franklin Clinton, a gangster. They all travel to San Andreas in order to commit crimes in this game. They are mainly heists who do illegal activities under an agency or pressure. Here, players can do all these heists or just give a round of San Andreas. Well, it’s Franklin in the game who only travels the place.
Now how are the crimes involved when they are travelling? The characters will need cars, so they might steal them, go to places where it’s not allowed, and may even accost the public. There are a lot of actions you will get to transpire in Grand Theft Auto 5. Thanks to Rockstar North, the developer of this game, and Rockstar Games, the publisher of this game, for delivering us a great way for enthusiasm.

Halo: Combat Evolved
Halo Combat Evolved, an FPS (first-person shooter) video game is a remarkable edition for Xbox. Bungie, the developer of it, and Microsoft Game Studios, the publisher of this game, launched it in 2001. The oh-so-gratifying fans must be in love with this game as it belongs to the FPS genre.
However, in Halo Combat Evolved, players live in a 3D environment, i.e. a first-person’s view. Besides, you will get many vehicles here, and some of them are even controllable. But if you are playing the role of a gun operator or pilot, you have to switch to a third-person perspective. Then the players will have a special power to stay safe from fire, damage from weapons, etc. They are mainly the fiction weapons, and each of them is for different purposes. And yes, your enemy here is Covenant. So the player’s job is to be safe from the harmful impacts from their enemy force. In short, there are a lot of actions and enthusiasm in this game.
The Last Of Us
Let’s start with the Last Of Us part 1 first. Naughty Dog, the developer of this game, and Sony Interactive Entertainment, the publisher of this game, released it in 2022. Remember the Last Of Us that we used to play from a third-party perspective? This Last Of Us part 1 is the remake of that version.
Here, the player will use weapons, firearms, stealth, etc to protect themselves from the hostile humans. Besides, they need to defend themselves from cannibals, who are infected by Cordyceps fungus. Well, the character in this game is Joel, who escorts a girl named Ellie. In the winter segment, the player will control Ellie, and in the operating sequence, he will control Joel’s daughter.
Now comes the Last of Us part 2. The developer and publisher are the same here, but everything here is set four years later. The second part features a horror genre, and the player will get to experience forests and buildings more. And yes, using stealth, firearms, weapons, etc are the same in this version. Besides, you have to defend yourself from Cordyceps fungus and hostile humans too.
Well, in the opening sequence, the player will control Joel. Then in the middle, it will control Ellie, and then switch to Abby. Here, the player will be more of a nibble nature that climbs and jumps for movements. Then there is a Listen Mode as an extra feature for being aware of the enemies.
