00:00This list is going to be controversial.
00:03Narrowing it down to just 15 of the most perfect games
00:07was exhausting, and I spent many weeks
00:10replaying some of them.
00:11But after a long time, I finally arrived at this list.
00:15And honestly, if you haven't played any of these games yet,
00:18you'd better hurry up and play them,
00:20because we never know when we're going to die.
00:23So without any fluff, no sponsored picks,
00:26just my honest, genuine opinion.
00:301. Days Gone
00:32Let's kick things off with a game that, in my opinion,
00:35is one of the most underrated masterpieces of the last decade.
00:39Days Gone.
00:40I remember when this dropped, the critics were a bit lukewarm,
00:43but man, they missed the mark.
00:46You play as Deacon St. John,
00:47a biker who's just trying to survive in a world
00:50that's completely gone to hell.
00:52What makes this game perfect for me
00:54is the bond you develop with your bike.
00:56It's not just a vehicle, it's your lifeline.
00:59The gameplay is famous for its hordes.
01:01I still remember the first time I accidentally stumbled
01:04upon the sawmill horde.
01:05500 freakers pouring out like a literal wave of death.
01:10It's pure, unadulterated adrenaline.
01:13But the heart of the game is the story.
01:15It's a slow burn about grief, loyalty,
01:18and the bromance between Deacon and Boozer
01:20that feels so incredibly real.
01:23If I have to be honest, the first few hours can feel a bit like a fetch quest simulator,
01:28and the human AI isn't always the brightest.
01:31But once the world opens up and you start upgrading your bike and your gear,
01:35the loop becomes addictive.
01:37It captures that Pacific Northwest vibe perfectly.
01:39Beautiful, rainy, and terrifying.
01:42It's a gritty, soulful journey that deserves a spot on your bucket list.
01:522. Red Dead Redemption 2
01:55I'm just gonna say it.
01:56Arthur Morgan is the best protagonist ever written.
01:59Period.
02:01Red Dead Redemption 2 isn't just a game.
02:03It's a living, breathing simulation of the death of the Old West.
02:07Rockstar's attention to detail is actually insane.
02:10The way the snow deforms.
02:12The way your horse reacts to a snake.
02:14The way Arthur's beard grows in real time.
02:17It forces you to slow down and actually live in 1899.
02:21The gameplay is heavy and deliberate.
02:24Everything has an animation, which some people find sluggish.
02:27But for me, it just adds to the immersion.
02:30The shootouts are cinematic and brutal, especially with that dead-eye system.
02:35But the real magic happens at the camp.
02:38Sitting by the fire, listening to Dutch's latest plan while the gang sings songs.
02:43It makes the eventual tragedy hit 10 times harder.
02:47My only gripe is the mission design is super rigid.
02:51If you step 5 feet off the path Rockstar wants you on,
02:54you fail.
02:55It's a bit of a clash with the freedom of the open world.
02:58But the ending?
02:59Man, I was a total wreck.
03:01It's a 60-hour epic about redemption and the price of loyalty that stays with you forever.
03:07If you haven't lived Arthur's story, you haven't seen what this medium is truly capable of.
03:11Let's move out, Artyom.
03:18Number three, Metro Exodus.
03:21Now, if you want atmosphere that you can practically taste,
03:25you need to play Metro Exodus.
03:28Moving the series from the claustrophobic tunnels of Moscow to a massive cross-continental train
03:35journey on the Aurora was a genius move.
03:39Each hub world feels like a different seasonal nightmare, from the frozen ruins of the Volga
03:45to the scorching deserts of the Caspian.
03:48The gameplay is all about immersion.
03:51There's no traditional HUD.
03:53You check your physical map, look at your watch to see how much air is left in your filter,
03:59and wipe the blood off your gas mask.
04:01It makes every encounter with a mutant or a bandit feel desperate.
04:06The weapon customization is top tier, too.
04:09Building a sniper rifle out of scrap metal in the middle of a forest just feels right.
04:15The voice acting can be a bit cheesy at times, especially in the English dub,
04:21and the silent protagonist thing feels a bit dated when everyone is
04:27pouring their hearts out to you.
04:30But the tension, the feeling of being a small group of survivors against a world
04:35that wants you dead, it's unmatched.
04:39The final level in the dead city is one of the most hauntingly beautiful things
04:44I've ever experienced.
04:45It's survival horror at its most poetic.
04:48It's easy to meme on GTA 5 because it's been out for three console generations,
05:01but there's a reason it's the second best-selling game of all time.
05:05It's nearly perfect.
05:07Los Santos is a masterpiece of satire.
05:10Every billboard, every radio ad, and every NPC interaction is a jab at modern society.
05:16The three-protagonist system, with Michael, Franklin, and Trevor, was a gamble that paid
05:21off perfectly.
05:22Switching between a retired mobster, a street hustler, and a literal psychopath mid-mission
05:28is still a blast.
05:29The gameplay is the gold standard for do-whatever-you-want sandboxes.
05:34One minute you're planning a multi-stage heist with cinematic camera angles,
05:39the next you're base-jumping off Mount Chiliad or getting into a five-star police chase.
05:43The driving feels weightless, but fun, and the shooting is solid rockstar fare.
05:49It's the ultimate playground game.
05:51The downside?
05:52The story starts to lose some of its steam in the final act, and Trevor, while hilarious,
05:57can sometimes feel a bit too over the top for the more grounded moments with Michael's family.
06:02But honestly, as a technical achievement and a cultural landmark, it's untouchable.
06:07It's the game that defined an era.
06:10If you've only played the online mode, do yourself a favor and play the campaign.
06:14It's a riot from start to finish.
06:22Number 5.
06:23The Last of Us Part II.
06:26I know, I know, this is probably the most polarizing game on the entire list.
06:31But putting the internet drama aside, The Last of Us Part II is a technical and narrative miracle.
06:37Naughty Dog created a world that feels so lived in and miserable that you can almost smell the rot.
06:45You play as a rage-fueled Ellie, and the story is a brutal, uncomfortable look at the cycle of violence.
06:52It doesn't want you to feel like a hero. It wants you to feel the weight of every life you take.
06:57The gameplay is peak stealth action. The way Ellie crawls through tall of grass, squeezes through tight gaps, and uses the environment feels so fluid.
07:08The AI is terrifying. They call out to each other by name. And when you cake one down, their friends scream in actual grief. It's haunting.
07:17Then the game pulls that massive, mid-story switch to Abby, forcing you to walk in the shoes of the person you've spent 10 hours hating.
07:26It's a bold, risky move that absolutely shattered my perspective.
07:31If I have to be critical, the pacing can feel a bit dragged out in the middle of the Seattle days.
07:37And yeah, it's a misery simulator. There isn't much light at the end of this tunnel.
07:41But the level of detail, the performances by Ashley Johnson and Laura Bailey, and that final, quiet scene by the farm,
07:49it's a masterpiece of emotional storytelling. It's a game that challenges you, and that's exactly why it's perfect.
07:55How do you remake one of the greatest games of all time?
08:09Apparently, you just do what Capcom did with Resident Evil 4 Remake.
08:14They took the 2005 original and polished it until it sparkled.
08:19Leon S. Kennedy is back, heading to a creepy Spanish village to save the president's daughter,
08:25and the vibe is just chef's kiss.
08:29It balances campy action and genuine horror better than almost any game out there.
08:35The gameplay is where this remake really shines.
08:38The new parry mechanic with the knife is a total game changer.
08:43There's nothing more satisfying than parrying a chainsaw with a combat knife.
08:48It makes the combat feel fast and tactical.
08:51The villains from the big-cheese Bittores Mendez to the iconic Osmond Sadler are reimagined with so much more grit.
08:59And let's not forget the merchant.
09:01I still spend way too much time just listening to him talk while I decide which gun to upgrade.
09:08The only downside?
09:09Some of the charm from the original's cheesier dialogue was toned down for a more serious tone,
09:16which I missed a little bit.
09:18But the updated controls and the intense set pieces,
09:21like the lake fight or the castle siege, make up for it.
09:25It's a masterclass in how to honor the past while pushing the genre forward.
09:30It's pure, unadulterated fun from start to finish.
09:387. God of War 2018
09:42Watching Kratos, the man who literally murdered the entire Greek pantheon,
09:47try to be a restrained father to Atreus, is one of the best character arcs in history.
09:54God of War 2018 was a massive risk, moving to Norse mythology, changing the camera to a tight,
10:01over-the-shoulder view, and adding a kid.
10:04But man, did it pay off.
10:06The one-shot camera technique, where there are no cuts for the entire game,
10:11makes the journey feel so intimate and unbroken.
10:15The gameplay feels heavy and impactful.
10:18The Leviathan Axe is probably my favorite weapon in any game.
10:22Throwing it and feeling it thud back into your hand via the haptic feedback,
10:27is a dopamine hit every single time.
10:30The combat is a brutal dance of ice and fire,
10:33and the puzzles are just clever enough to keep you thinking without slowing down the pace.
10:38The bond that grows between Kratos and boy, is the real heart here.
10:43You feel the awkwardness and the hidden love in every line.
10:47My only complaint, the boss variety is a bit thin.
10:51You end up fighting a lot of the same trolls in different colors.
10:55But the Valkyrie fights?
10:57Those will test your soul.
10:59It's a gorgeous, mature, and deeply personal epic.
11:03It took a one-dimensional rage monster and made him human.
11:07If you haven't sat through this father-son road trip,
11:10you're missing out on a landmark in gaming history.
11:138. Death Stranding
11:21Alright, let's talk about the walking simulator that actually changed the way I think about games.
11:27Death Stranding is Hideo Kojima at his most unrestrained.
11:32You play as Sam Porter Bridges, Norman Reedus, a delivery man in a post-apocalyptic world where the dead have come back to haunt the living.
11:41The goal? Reconnect America by delivering packages.
11:45It sounds like a chore, but it's one of the most meditative and rewarding experiences I've ever had.
11:52The gameplay turns the environment itself into the enemy.
11:55You have to manage your weight, watch your balance, and plan your route across mountains and rivers.
12:01But the social strand system is the genius part.
12:05You never see other players, but you see their footprints.
12:09The bridges they built and the ladders they left behind.
12:11Finding a generator left by a stranger when your battery's at 1% is a feeling of genuine human connection that no other game provides.
12:22I'll admit, the story is peak Kojima.
12:25Lots of weird names.
12:27Die Hard Man, anyone?
12:28And 20-minute cutscenes about ghosts and umbrellas.
12:31It can be a bit much.
12:34And the combat against the mules can feel a bit clunky.
12:37But when that low roar music starts playing as you crest a mountain and see a vast valley ahead of you,
12:44man, it's magic.
12:45It's a slow burn masterpiece about how we need each other to survive.
12:509. Horizon Zero Dawn
13:00I remember seeing the first trailer for Horizon Zero Dawn and thinking,
13:05mechanical dinosaurs?
13:07Okay, I'm in.
13:09But I wasn't prepared for how deep and emotional the story actually was.
13:14You play as Aloy, an outcast looking for her mother in a world where humanity has regressed
13:20to primitive tribes while high-tech machines rule the wild.
13:25The mystery of the old ones and how the world ended is one of the best sci-fi reveals in gaming history.
13:33The gameplay is all about the hunt.
13:36You aren't just mashing buttons.
13:38You're using your focus to scan for weak points,
13:41tearing off components with your bow and setting traps.
13:45Taking down a massive thunder jaw by using its own disk launcher against it?
13:51Man, that never gets old.
13:53The combat feels tactical and fast.
13:56And the world itself is breathtaking,
13:58from the red deserts of Meridian to the snowy peaks of the Nora lands.
14:04If I have to be critical,
14:05the human-to-human combat is definitely the weakest link.
14:09It feels a bit floaty compared to the machine fights.
14:13And the dialogue animations in the first game were a little stiff before the sequel fixed them.
14:19But the core mystery, the feeling of being a hunter in a world that doesn't want you?
14:24It's perfect.
14:26It's a smart, beautiful, and profoundly original epic.
14:36Number 10. Skyrim.
14:38Look, there's a reason Skyrim has been ported to everything, including your smart fridge.
14:43It's the ultimate life simulator.
14:46You start as a prisoner on your way to the chopping block.
14:48A dragon attacks, and suddenly, the entire province of Skyrim is yours to explore.
14:54The beauty of this game isn't the main story, which is a decent chosen one plot.
14:59It's everything else.
15:01You can be a legendary warrior, a master thief, a powerful mage,
15:06or just a guy who picks flowers and makes potions.
15:09The gameplay is simple but addictive.
15:12It's all about discovery.
15:14You see a mountain in the distance? You can climb it.
15:17You see a weird cave?
15:18There's probably a two-hour quest inside involving ancient undead and forbidden shouts.
15:24Using the dragon shouts, FUS RO DA, is still one of the most iconic mechanics in gaming.
15:31The sheer scale of the world and the number of stories hidden in every corner is staggering.
15:37Now, let's be real.
15:39The game is Bethesda buggy as hell.
15:41Characters will float away, dragons will fly backwards,
15:44and the combat can feel a bit like you're swinging a pool noodle.
15:48But none of that matters when you're wandering through a blizzard at night
15:51while that epic Jeremy Sewell soundtrack kicks in.
15:54It's a game about pure freedom.
15:57If you haven't lost a hundred hours in Skyrim, you haven't fully experienced the RPG genre.
16:02Number 11. Marvel's Spider-Man
16:11Swinging through Manhattan in Marvel's Spider-Man is the most therapeutic thing I've ever done
16:17in a video game.
16:18Insomniac Games finally nailed the physics.
16:21It's not just holding a button.
16:23You actually feel the momentum and the weight of Peter Parker as you dive between skyscrapers.
16:28I've spent hours just swinging around and doing backflips without even touching a single mission,
16:34because it just feels that good.
16:36The gameplay is heavily inspired by the Arkham games, but with a spidey twist.
16:41It's much more vertical and acrobatic.
16:43Using gadgets like the web bomb or the trip mine makes you feel like a genius inventor.
16:49But the real surprise was the story.
16:51This isn't just a superhero game, it's a Peter Parker story.
16:55Watching him balance his messy personal life with the rise of the Sinister Six is genuinely emotional.
17:01That final boss fight against Doc Ock?
17:04It broke my heart, man.
17:06If I have to nitpick, some of the MJ and Miles stealth missions
17:10can feel like they're slowing down the pace when you just want to be spidey.
17:14And some of the side crimes can get a bit repetitive after 20 hours.
17:18But the heart, the polish, and the sheer joy of being the web head
17:22makes this the best superhero game ever made.
17:25It's spectacular, amazing, and totally perfect.
17:3412. Ghost of Tsushima
17:36To wrap up this set, we have Ghost of Tsushima,
17:39which is basically a love letter to Akira Kurosawa movies.
17:43You play as Jin Sakai, a samurai forced to choose between his code of honor
17:49and the dishonorable tactics of a ghost to save his home from the Mongol invasion.
17:54The art direction here is just wow.
17:57There are no mini-maps or cluttered HUDs.
18:00You follow the guiding wind to your destination,
18:03which keeps your eyes on the beautiful, swaying grass and falling leaves.
18:07The gameplay is razor-sharp. The swordplay feels rhythmic and lethal.
18:13One well-timed parry and you're cutting through enemies like butter.
18:17Switching between stances to counter different types of Mongol soldiers
18:21makes the combat feel like a tactical dance.
18:23But the emotional core is the struggle of Jin's soul.
18:27Watching him disappoint his uncle, Lord Shimura, for the sake of his people,
18:32is a heavy, tragic arc that hits a boiling point in the final duel.
18:37The side quests can be a bit… formulaic. Follow footsteps, fight bandits, repeat.
18:43But the atmosphere is so thick you won't care. Whether you're riding a haiku by a lake or engaging in a
18:50cinematic standoff at sunset, the game is a photographer's dream. It's a focused, beautiful,
18:56and incredibly satisfying samurai epic that every single-player fan needs to experience.
19:0613. The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt
19:09I've played a lot of RPGs, but The Witcher 3 is the one that changed my standards for writing
19:16forever. You play as Geralt of Rivia, a professional monster slayer. And what makes this game perfect
19:23isn't just the epic scale. It's the side quests. In most games, side quests are filler. Here, a random
19:30contract to kill a ghost in a well can turn into a three-hour emotional tragedy. The world feels lived in,
19:38dirty, and morally gray. There are no right choices, only lesser evils. And that's what makes it so
19:45human. The gameplay is a massive dance of two swords. Steel for humans, silver for monsters. And
19:52honestly, I love the preparation phase. Checking your bestiary, brewing the right oils, and prepping your
19:58potions makes you actually feel like a Witcher. And let's not forget Gwent. I probably spent 40 hours just
20:06playing cards in taverns instead of finding Ciri. The two DLCs, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine,
20:13are basically full games on their own, and feature some of the best villains, Hello Gaunter O'Dimm,
20:19I've ever seen. The combat can feel a little floaty for some, and the movement, especially Geralt's
20:26turning circle, can be a bit finicky. But the writing, the characters like Yennefer and Ciri,
20:32the sunset over the fields of Velen, it's unmatched. It's a game about a father finding his daughter
20:40in a world gone mad, and it's a journey every human needs to take.
20:50Number 14. Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag
20:54I know we've had a dozen Assassin's Creed games since this one, but Black Flag is the undisputed
21:00king of the high seas. This isn't just an assassin game, it's the ultimate pirate fantasy. Playing as
21:08Edward Kenway, a selfish, charismatic Welsh pirate who accidentally stumbles into the Assassin
21:13Brotherhood, is such a refreshing change from the usual hero tropes. He just wants gold and glory,
21:20and watching his growth into a man of principle is a surprisingly deep arc. The gameplay is a perfect
21:2760-40 split between land and sea, but man the sea is where the magic happens. Sailing the jackdaw
21:34through a Caribbean storm while your crew belts out the Leave Her Johnny sea shanty is pure bliss.
21:40Engaging a legendary Spanish man o' war, crippling it with chainshot and then swinging over to board
21:46it in real time. It's cinematic gold. It's the most fun I've ever had in an open world sandbox.
21:53My only gripe? The tailing missions. Ubisoft was obsessed with making us follow NPCs through bushes
22:00back then, and it can definitely slow down the pace. But the moment you get back on that ship and see
22:05the horizon, you forget all about it. The ending of this game, where Edward looks out at his fallen
22:11friends, is the only time an Assassin's Creed game actually made me tear up. It's a legendary adventure
22:17that captures the spirit of freedom like nothing else.
22:2015, Elden Ring. And finally, we have the game that redefined the open world genre, Elden Ring.
22:34From Software took their Souls formula and dropped it into a world co-created by George R.R. Martin,
22:40and the result is a miracle. The Lands Between is a world shrouded in mystery. There are no map icons
22:48telling you where to go. You just see a massive golden tree on the horizon and a weird tower in
22:54the distance, and you just go. It's the purest sense of adventure I've felt since I was a kid.
23:01The gameplay is the gold standard for third-person action. Whether you're a heavy armored knight,
23:07a nimble sorcerer, or a naked guy with a club, the depth of builds is insane. Every boss, from the
23:14tragic general Radon to the nightmare-inducing Melenia, is an event that tests your skill and
23:20your patience. But because it's open world, if you get stuck, you can just ride your spectral steed,
23:26torrent, in another direction and find a hidden cave or a whole underground city you never knew existed.
23:32Is it hard? Yes, it's a From Software game. It will kick your teeth in. And the lack of a traditional
23:38quest log can be frustrating if you aren't paying attention. But that's the point. It respects your
23:43intelligence and your curiosity. It's a hauntingly beautiful, punishing, and profoundly rewarding
23:49masterpiece. It's not just a game, it's a monument to what video games can achieve.
23:58And that is the list guys. 15 games that I truly believe are as close to perfection as we're ever
24:04gonna get. These are the titles that defined my life as a gamer, and I hope they do the same for you.
24:10Whether you're crying over Arthur Morgan, sailing the Caribbean with Edward, or becoming the Elden
24:15Lord, these experiences are worth every second. But hey, that's just my list. Perfection is personal.
24:22Which game did I miss that you think belongs on this list? Or which one of these would you put
24:27at number one? Drop a comment below. I read every single one of them, and I love seeing your takes.
