Silent Hill 2 is, in my opinion, in fierce contention for the best video game ever made. At the moment I'd say the top three are Silent Hill 2, Morrowind, and Red Dead Redemption 2.
I was overjoyed to hear the remake received overwhelmingly positive acclaim. Having played it myself I think they did a phenomenal job remaking it. Bloober perfectly balanced keeping what was great with what needed updating (fucking tank controls), and the stuff they added and expanded felt very well done and very reverent to the original.
Nothing short of an artistic masterpiece.
I don't think I could just limit my candidates to three. One of my personal criteria is that the game was awesome when released (one of those games I kept obsessing about, outside gaming time), but is also good now when replayed (discounting the typical gameplay QoL improvements since then). Several really good games do that for me (in no particular order):
... and many others.
Most of them are old, mainly because I don't know if my modern favorites will pass the test of time in 10 years (games like Crimson Desert, Control, Lies of P or Wuchang).
I have never played any of these and I need to rectify that. I started Elder Scrolls with Oblivion. I even own RDR2.
Go play RDR2 NOW! it's damn near the perfect game. the story brought me to tears several times it's so good
I know.. I know… :)
The first last of us is my first, IMHO. But Silent Hill 2 really is a very close second.
huh I always thought it was "The Last Ofus" tho I never played it
No bloodborne, elden ring or god of war on top three.
elden ring maybe top five! never played the other two tho, and have no interest in doing so
Even though I love Elden Ring, Bloodborne is a better, and I would say more interesting game.
God of War can suck my ass though. The original was awesome for its time, though not really a candidate for "best game". The new one is just boooring.
