Top 10 Must-Play Games of All Time

Created by Lily Cole Staff ยท Jul 2023 ยท Updated Aug 2023

Ten games that defined their genres and still hold up today. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild rewrote open-world design in 2017. The Witcher 3 proved RPGs could have writing as good as prestige television. Red Dead Redemption 2 made every other open world feel empty by comparison.

This list skews modern because older games age poorly in ways that books and films don't. But the picks are solid โ€” GTA V is still selling copies a decade after release. Minecraft has more active players than most countries have people. Dark Souls III perfected a formula that spawned an entire subgenre.

The real debate is what's missing. No Final Fantasy? No Mass Effect? No Halo? That's what the voting is for. Add what you think belongs and let the community decide.
