What are the best/highest quality Video Games ever made?
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:
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).
The Hitman trilogy has immersive world design and great replayability! One of my favourites.
Dishonored 2 is fantastic! I absolutely love everything about it. The graphics, world design, sounds, music, stealth gameplay, perks, story and etc. I'd live in Carnaca if it was possible! (I have to mention the world design again bc it is so good!!)
