Best video games

You are a huge video game enthusiast and are constantly looking for some title to play on your favorite platform. However, keeping up with this huge world is particularly complicated, as new games keep coming out and the time available to devote to this passion is always limited. I understand you: the videogame world can be almost all-encompassing, taking a lot of free time, and choosing which titles to play is not at all simple. Anyone would like to finish all the games on the market, but let’s not lie to ourselves: it’s impossible. Also, trying out as many titles as possible is not a great way to enjoy the experience offered by the medium.

For this reason, I believe it is important to make a selection and decree the best video games in general, obviously divided by platform. I am referring to those titles that are considered essential by both critics and the community, the milestones that every fan should play. This means that by purchasing the titles that I will recommend, you will no longer have to deal with the backlog (the immense list of games that are bought and then not played) and at the same time you will not miss any of the masterpieces available for your platform. game. It will therefore be enough for you to dedicate an hour a day to this passion of yours and you will see that, in the course of a year, you will have already completed many titles.

To give you a concrete example, with 365 hours a year (one hour a day) you can finish God of War (20 hours, HowLongToBeat stats), Bloodborne (34 hours), Marvel’s Spider-Man (16 hours), Death Stranding (40 hours), Super Mario Odissey (12 hours), The Witcher 3 (51 hours), Red Dead Redemption 2 (46 hours), Sekiro Shadows Die Twice (28 hours), Pokémon Sword / Shield (25 hours) and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild (50 hours). This also saves another 43 hours to dedicate, for example, to Fortnite, smartphone titles or side missions of a game you particularly liked. In short, as you can see, you just need to get organized, don’t be in a hurry and follow the advice you find below. That said, there is nothing left for me to do, except wish you good reading and have fun!

Best PC video games

The world of video games has always seen the contrast between console and PC. These are two rather different worlds and each of them has its own merits. In any case, on computers there are several very important exclusives, which manage to keep gamers glued to the screen for several years now. By the way: if you’ve always played on consoles and want to start getting closer to this world, I recommend that you take a look at my guide to which PC to buy to play . Below you will find, however, the exclusives that have convinced many to give this platform a chance.

• World of Warcraft: If you’re thinking of getting closer to World of Warcraft, Blizzard’s popular MMORPG originally launched in 2004, you need to know that you’ll probably have to drop the one-year-to-go game talk. In fact, we’re talking about a game that is so vast and engaging that you essentially don’t let yourself play anything else (unless you have more free time than average). Think carefully before you start playing World of Warcraft – you may not be able to play other games anymore. The average estimated by HowLongToBeat exceeds 3000 hours. Then don’t say I didn’t warn you.
• DOTA 2 : Originally launched in 2013, it is one of the most popular MOBAs ever. It is a title that mainly bases its offer on online multiplayer. It has layered gameplay that takes a long time to master properly. If you are planning to throw yourself into this Free To Playtitle , be aware that it will probably start to take up a lot of time in your gaming sessions. In short, do your calculations well, since many say they spent more than 1500 hours there.
• Total War Three Kingdoms: If you are looking for a real-time strategy with elements of real-time tactics, this is the game for you. Launched in 2019, according to many it is one of the best exponents of its kind and single player activities can be completed in about 35 hours.

• EVE Online : If you are a fan of space settings, you should definitely try CCP Games’ sci-fi sandbox MMORPG. Originally launched in 2003, it is one of the titles that has evolved the most over time. A mammoth title that will probably consume all your free time. Again, do your math well: some users say they spent nearly 4000 hours on it. It can be downloaded for free.
• Guild Wars 2 : an MMORPG able to particularly involve the player thanks to its fantasy universe. Originally launched in 2012 and free to download, it is particularly suitable for dragon lovers who want to embark on an extended adventure over time. The amount of content is high: many say they spent more than 80 hours there. The title is free todownload .
• Starcraft II : the king of competitive strategists. Released in 2010, the Blizzard title is regarded as one of the forerunners for the world of esports. The gameplay is pretty layered, so it could take a long time to master. It can be downloaded for free.
• League of Legends : originally released in 2009, it is the direct rival of DOTA 2, a title with which it contends for the scepter of best MOBA. Again, many players claim to have spent over 1300 hours there. The game is free todownload .
• Civilization VI: Launched in 2016, this is a turn-based strategy game that allows you to play with various civilizations. The community sees him as one of the best exponents of his genre. Many have spent hundreds of hours there. It is not a real exclusive, since it has also been released for other platforms, but it is clearly a game designed with the PC platform in mind.

• Escape from Tarkov : A game that became quite popular between the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020, mainly thanks to its diffusion on streaming platforms such as Twitch . It is a very tactical shooter, which particularly rewards the skill of the players. Many have spent hundreds of hours on this title.

It should be noted that the PC platform can also allow you to play many titles from the Xbox and PlayStation catalog. In fact, many “Xbox One exclusives” are available on Windows 10 via single purchase or through the Game Pass subscription , while several “PS4 exclusives” are playable with the PlayStation Now subscription . In short, the computer is a “hybrid” platform that can be particularly interesting. For more information, I invite you to take a look at the page on my site dedicated to PC games , where you can find tutorials related to several interesting titles.

Best Nintendo Switch video games

Nintendo Switch has been very important to the video game market. We are in fact talking about a hybrid between home and portable console that is able to offer particularly interesting exclusive experiences, coming to break down the problem of time thanks to its portability (ability to play on the train, on the plane and so on). Below you will find the titles that I think are most valid for this console.
