00:00Man, I'm sure you've gone back to an old game just to see if it still holds up.
00:05I've done that with a lot of games, and honestly, many of them have.
00:10Some have aged like fine wine.
00:12I'd even argue that some are better than a lot of today's news.
00:15So I put together a list of 15 games that, whether it be
00:20because of timeless art direction, rock-solid mechanics, or just pure magic.
00:25Refuse to get old.
00:27These are experiences you can play today and still have.
00:30They still walk away impressed, like they just came out yesterday.
00:35Infamous Second Son?
00:37I still remember the day this came out.
00:40It was supposed to show us what the next gen was capable of, and honestly, it still
00:45does.
00:46Delson Rowe is such a great change of pace from Cole McGrath.
00:50He's a bit of a punk, he's cocky, and I love that energy.
00:54But let's talk about...
00:55What about the real star?
00:56The powers?
00:57Even today, the neon effects in this game...
01:00It makes you look better than 90% of what's coming out now.
01:03Zipping up a skyscraper as a...
01:05Streak of light or smashing down as a ball of smoke feels incredibly snappy.
01:10The gameplay loop is just pure, distilled fun.
01:13It's not cluttered with a million eyes.
01:15And icons.
01:16It's just you, Seattle, and these insane abilities.
01:19One thing I've...
01:20Always appreciated is how the karma system actually changes the vibe of your powers.
01:25Going evil makes everything feel more destructive and violent, while good is all about...
01:30Precision.
01:31I'll be honest, the story's a bit on the short side, and I wish the choices...
01:35Felt a bit deeper.
01:36But man, that impact when you land a comet drop...
01:40Never gets old.
01:41It's a flashy, fast-paced sandbox that proves that good art...
01:45Distraction and tight controls are immortal.
01:50It's much easier than I said, all of us anytime you've needed.
01:51It's nothing.
01:52I don't care if you're ever talking.
01:53It's a strange thing.
01:54I don't care if, but...
01:55Give us an idea now.
01:56It was a strange thing.
01:57Let's not learn how to run this.
01:58Just keep thinking.
01:59Of course, In is my knowledge-based customhake, the things...
02:00Not sure, but to learn how to paint it with an incident.
02:02You can always look bad at each other than Tomas.
02:04I'll look after two or two.
02:05There's no idea how to change the давайте-给 you and then mark down this one however.
02:08It's a ר garlic shape.
02:13Ok.
02:14But at the moment, it's almost awful.
02:15I'm so pleasant.
02:16What's worth mentioningny over there?
02:17I remember my first time walking into the Mojave, getting shot in the head, and then
02:22spending the next 50 hours deciding the fate of the entire wasteland.
02:27The beauty of this game isn't the graphics, let's be real, it was a bit ugly even back
02:32then, it's the freedom.
02:34You can talk your way out of almost anything.
02:37Or you can just go full boon and headshot everything in sight.
02:42Relations are what really keep me coming back, whether you're siding with the NCR, Caesars
02:46Leeds.
02:47If you're feeling extra villainous, or just going independent with Yes Man, the world
02:52actually reacts to you.
02:54I love the reputation system.
02:57It's so much better than a simple morality bar.
03:00And the DLCs?
03:01Old world...
03:02Old world blues is quite possibly the funniest, weirdest writing in gaming history.
03:07It's a bit janky, yeah, and you'll probably need a few mods to keep it from crashing.
03:12On modern rigs, but the soul of this game is untouchable.
03:16It's an RPG.
03:17It's an RPG that actually respects your choices, and that's why it's a masterpiece that will
03:22never die.
03:27Prey 2017.
03:31I will n-
03:32never stop shouting about how much of a crime it is that Prey didn't sell b-
03:37billions of copies.
03:38This is Arkane Studios at the absolute top of their game.
03:42I remember waking up in that apartment on Talos 1 and having my brain-
03:47melted by that first big twist.
03:50The atmosphere is just suffering.
03:52It's a bit suffocating in the best way possible.
03:54It's an immersive sim, which basically-
03:57means the game tells you, here's a locked door, here are 10 different tools, go figure
04:02it out.
04:03I spend hours just turning into a coffee mug to squeeze through security-
04:07windows.
04:08The mimics are pure nightmare fuel.
04:12I still have a habit of hitting every trash can and chair with a wrench, just in case
04:17it's an-
04:17an alien waiting to jump on my face.
04:19What I love about Prey is that it doesn't hold-
04:22hold your hand.
04:23You have to read the emails, listen to the logs, and actually pay-
04:27attention to the environment to survive.
04:30The glue cannon is one of the most creative-
04:32weapons in history.
04:33Using it to build your own stairs up a wall is just genius.
04:37It's smart, it's creepy, and it's a game that makes you feel like a genius-
04:42when you solve a problem.
04:43It's a 10 out of 10 that puts most modern simplified-
04:47shooters to absolute shame.
04:48Maybe it is what you see.
04:49I'm hungry.
04:50Maybe it is what you see.
04:51Maybe it is what you see.
04:52I'm hungry.
04:52I'm hungry.
04:53las MIKE
05:03You
05:05You
05:08have sufferedoli
05:14Yeah.
05:18I've gone back to it in 2026, and the part 1 remake specifically just makes everything
05:23feels so much more visceral. The way Joel's hands shake when he's aiming or
05:28the look of pure terror on an enemy's face when you corner them. It's uncomfortable.
05:33It's raw, and it's perfect. The gameplay is so much more than just sneaking and
05:38grass. It's about desperation. Every brick you throw and every shiv you craft
05:43feels like it could be the difference between life and death. I love how the combat is messy.
05:48You mess up. You panic. You scramble for a bottle to throw. It's not a power
05:53fantasy. It's a survival fantasy. The villains aren't just the infected. It's the
05:58people who have lost their humanity in a broken world. It's a beautiful, miserable
06:03and incredibly human story. If you haven't sat through that ending and felt your stomach
06:08drop, you're missing out on one of the greatest pieces of art our medium has ever produced.
06:13It's timeless.
06:18It's timeless.
06:19It's timeless.
06:20It's timeless.
06:21It's timeless.
06:22It's timeless.

06:43It's timeless.
06:44It's timeless.
06:45It's timeless.
06:46It's timeless.
06:47It's timeless.
06:23Bioshock
06:28Infinite is something else. I'll never forget the first time I saw Columbus
06:33in Columbia, floating through those clouds and seeing that sun-drenched city in the sky.
06:38It was breathtaking. While the first Bioshock was all about the dark,
06:43claustrophobic ruins of the ocean, Infinite is the complete opposite, but
06:48just as twisted. The hook here is the relationship between Booker and Elizabeth.
06:53I've played so many games where the companion AI is just annoying.
06:58But Elizabeth, she's the heart of the game. She finds you ammo, she opens up
07:03tears in reality, and she actually reacts to the world around her.
07:08The combat is like a high-speed ballet on those skylines, hooking onto a
07:13rail, sniping a guy from midair, and then dropping down with a shock power.
07:17It's
07:18pure adrenaline. But man, the story, it's a total mind
07:23bender. It tackles American exceptionalism, religion, and quantum physics.
07:28In a way that had me staring at a wall for an hour after the credits rolled.
07:33I know some people think the shooting is a bit arcadey compared to the original, but the pure
07:38spectacle and the emotional payoff are just legendary. It's a bright,
07:43beautiful nightmare that proves games can be incredibly smart while still being
07:48fun as hell.
07:53Good call.
07:56Good call.
07:57Take them out before they see.
07:58Spec Ops The Line.
08:01Alright, let's talk about the game
08:03that tricked everybody. On the surface, Spec Ops The Line looks like you're
08:08typical tough guy military shooters set in a sand-buried Dubai. But...
08:13that is the biggest trap in gaming history. I remember playing this
08:18in thinking, yeah, okay, another shooter. And then the white phosphorus scene.
08:23What happened? My jaw hit the floor. This isn't a game about being a hero.
08:28It's a game about the psychological collapse of a soldier and the horrific
08:33reality of war. It's essentially heart of darkness in the desert. The way the
08:38environment changes, Dubai being swallowed by massive sandstorms, is still
08:43visually impressive, but the real detail is in the characters.
08:48Your protagonist, Captain Walker, starts out giving calm, professional orders
08:53the way. But by the end of the game, he's screaming and swearing, and his face is literally
08:58burned and scarred from the choices you've made. It's a game that actively makes
09:03you feel bad for the violence you're committing. It's uncomfortable. It's provi-
09:08provocative, and it's a masterpiece of subversion. If you're tired of rah-rah
09:13military games that don't say anything, you need to experience this descent into magic.
09:18Yes.
09:23Yes.
09:25Quiet down!
09:26Hold thisЬ!
09:27алась
09:28acontece
09:30グルス
09:32AS
09:28Mass Effect 2. Let me be real.
09:33Mass Effect 2 is the best sequel ever made. Period.
09:38It took everything that was clunky about the first game and just polished it until it shone.
09:43The suicide mission is still the gold standard for high stakes finales.
09:48I remember the literal stress of making sure every single crew member was loyal because I knew
09:53if I messed up I was going to lose them forever.
09:56This isn't just an RPG.
09:58It's a buddy movie in space.
10:00I spent more time talking to Garris and more
10:03than I did actually shooting aliens.
10:06And I loved every second of it.
10:08The character writing is just peak.
10:11These people aren't just quest givers.
10:13They're family.
10:14When you go into that final stretch and that incredible soundtrack kicks in.
10:18You feel the weight of the galaxy on your shoulders.
10:21The combat is punchy.
10:23The biotics feel powerful.
10:25And the elusive man is one of the most intriguing
10:28villains or allies ever written.
10:31It's a perfect blend of space opera
10:33storytelling and tactical action.
10:35If you haven't sat in the captain's chair and made the heart
10:38hard calls, you're missing out on a core pillar of gaming history.
10:42It's perfect.
10:43It's perfect.
10:44It's perfect.
10:46It's perfect.
10:47It's perfect.
10:48It's perfect.
10:49It's perfect.
10:50All prisoners, return to yourselves immediately for a moment...
10:53Uncharted 2 Among Thieves
10:58is perfection in an action game.
11:00I still remember the opening.
11:03I saw a mate waking up in a train car dangling over a snowy cliff.
11:08I was hoping...
11:08We looked in 5 seconds.
11:08Naughty Dog basically mastered the playable play.
11:13blockbuster here. It's funny, it's fast-paced, and it has some of the best set
11:18pieces ever designed. The collapsing building in Nepal, the high speed
11:23chase through the mountains, it's all seamless. It doesn't feel like a movie.
11:28You're watching, it feels like a movie you're doing. Nathan Drake is just so
11:33damn likable, because he's not a super soldier, he's a guy who's constantly
11:38over his head and just barely making it out alive. The chemistry with some
11:43Sully, Elena, and Chloe is lightning in a bottle. I love that the game
11:48doesn't take itself too seriously. It's an adventure, a treasure hunt, and a
11:53total blast from start to finish. The platforming is intuitive, the gun
11:58play is snappy, and the locations are just stunning. It's the kind of game that
12:03reminds you why you started playing in the first place, for the sheer, unadulterable
12:08great joy of the journey.
12:13So, let's see.
12:18Oh, my God.
12:23God of War.
12:28Man, talk about an opening.
12:31I still remember the first 15...
12:33...minutes of God of War 3,
12:34climbing up Gaia's back as she scales Mount Olympus...
12:38...while you're literally fighting Poseidon on a massive scale.
12:41It was the first time a game...
12:43...actually made me feel the size of a god.
12:46Kratos is at his absolute...
12:48...angriest here.
12:49And honestly, I love it.
12:51There's no sad dad vibes yet.
12:53It's just pure, unadulterated vengeance.
12:56The combat is a brutal...
12:58...high-speed dance of blades.
13:00And the finishers...
13:01...they are still some of the most...
13:03...victitious...
13:03...visceral things I've ever seen on a screen.
13:06What's crazy is that even in 20...
13:08...
13:08...in 2026, the scale of the boss fights with the Titans...
13:11...puts modern games to shame.
13:13It's a technical masterpiece...
13:15...that pushed that hardware to its absolute limit.
13:18The lighting, the blood splatters...
13:20...the way the camera zooms out to show you how tiny...
13:23...you are compared to Kronos.
13:24It's just epic.
13:26It's a perfect finale to the original...
13:28...trilogy that knows exactly what it is.
13:30A loud, violent, and incredibly...
13:33...polished spectacle.
13:34If you haven't felt the power of the Blades of Exile...
13:37...you haven't experienced...
13:38...the peak of the hack and slash genre.
13:43...the...
13:48The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt.
13:50Look, I'm gonna be real.
13:52The Witcher 3...
13:53Witcher 3 is the game that basically ruined other open worlds for me.
13:57I remember...
13:58I remember wandering into a tiny village in Velen, thinking I was just doing a simple
14:02contract.
14:03And two hours later, I was caught in a massive, heart-breaking story about family.
14:08And sacrifice.
14:09That's the magic here.
14:11Even the smallest side quest...
14:13Feels like it was written by a master novelist.
14:16Geralt of Rivia is such a...
14:18Phenomenal protagonist, because he's world-weary and cynical.
14:23He's got this hidden heart that makes every choice you make feel heavy and real.
14:28The world itself is just chef's kiss, from the muddy, war-torn...
14:33From the modern swamps to the vibrant, colorful streets of Novigrad, the atmosphere is so...
14:38Thick, you can almost smell the rain.
14:40I spent literal weeks just playing...
14:43Went in taverns, or tracking down legendary gear.
14:46The combat is tactical...
14:48And forces you to actually be a witcher, brewing potions, oiling your blade...
14:53And studying your enemy.
14:54It's a game that respects your intelligence, and rewards your...
14:58curiosity at every turn.
14:59It's a massive, beautiful, and deeply human...
15:03masterpiece...
15:04That proves that when you care about the writing, the game becomes...
15:08immortal.
15:14Ok...
15:22Oh, my God...
15:18Just cause
15:23All right, let's talk about pure chaotic freedom.
15:28Just cause 2 is a game that I still go back to when I just want to blow some
15:33stuff up and feel like a madman.
15:35The map of Panao is absolutely
15:38massive, but the real hook is the dual tether grappling hook.
15:43I've spent literal hours just tethering enemy soldiers to gas canisters
15:48and watching them blast off, or attaching a jet to a skyscraper just to see
15:53what happens.
15:54It's a physics playground that doesn't care about realism.
15:58It only cares about cool.
16:00Rico Rodriguez is basically a knight
16:03a 1980s action hero, and the game leans into that 100%.
16:08The explosions are huge, the stunts are insane, and the
16:13sense of speed when you're skydiving is still some of the best in the business.
16:18It's not a deep game in terms of story, but who cares?
16:22It's a game that
16:23hands you a parachute, a grappling hook, and a world full of red barrels and
16:28says, go have a blast.
16:30It's the ultimate stress reliever, and a reminder
16:33that sometimes games should just be about the sheer joy of causing absolute
16:38mayhem.
16:39It's the ultimate mayhem.
16:43It's so quiet in the business of the game can really stand
16:44as counter, where even since I have supported this game
16:46and it turned off as it isn't hard, actually very clear
16:47so many av� been able to traverse.
16:48That's a great deal!
16:49That's a great deal, really, really.
16:50It'sänge.
16:51Lucas!
16:52It's the next time he also monitors the use of the
16:54cargo, so he is not yet an act of at least
16:55fragmented care of which seems to keep the
17:10literal crime that we never got a sequel to this.
17:13You're Wei Shen, an undercover cop.
17:15Infiltrating the triads in Hong Kong.
17:18And the story is basically a top-tier.
17:20John Woo movie.
17:22The tension of his double life is palpable in every country.
17:25But the real star here is the combat.
17:29Forget about guns for a second.
17:30This is all about brutal, martial arts-focused brawling.
17:34Using a car.
17:35Or a frozen fish to finish a fight.
17:38It's visceral and incredibly sad.
17:40Hong Kong feels so much more alive and dense than the matter.
17:45Massive, empty maps we see in a lot of modern games.
17:48The night markets, the neon lights.
17:50Reflecting in the rain.
17:52It has an identity that most open worlds just love.
17:55I also love the driving.
17:58It has this arcade-like snap to it.
18:00That makes high-speed chases through narrow alleys a total blast.
18:05Wei Shen.
18:05He is such a complex, tortured character.
18:08And watching him struggle with his loyalty.
18:10to his brothers versus his duty as a cop is genuinely emotional.
18:15It's a game with a massive heart and some of the best environmental takedowns in history.
18:20Seriously, go play it.
18:25I know.
18:30Stop!
18:35Metro Last Light.
18:39Man, if you...
18:40If you want to talk about atmosphere, Metro Last Light is the king of the tunnels.
18:45I remember the first time I stepped out onto the surface of a post-apocalyptic Moscow wiping
18:50the radioactive condensation off my gas mask while hearing the heavy, distorted...
18:55breathing of Artyom, it's terrifyingly immersive.
18:58This isn't just a shooter.
19:00It's a survival horror epic where every bullet is literally worth its weight in gold.
19:05I spent so much time just sitting in the makeshift bars of the underground stations.
19:10Listening to survivors tell stories of the world before the bombs.
19:14It's a world that feels...
19:15heavy, dark, and heartbreakingly real.
19:18The stealth is what...
19:20really got me.
19:21Creeping through the shadows, unscrewing light bulbs to stay hidden, and deciding...
19:25whether to spare an enemy or take them out, it makes you feel the weight of your choices.
19:30The Redux version looks phenomenal even today, but it's the sound design that...
19:35haunts me.
19:36The guttural growls of the mutants and the echo of a distant train...
19:40it's pure dread.
19:41It's a game with a soul, based on a fantastic series of...
19:45novels, and it treats its setting with a level of respect you rarely see.
19:49If you haven't...
19:50lived through RTM's struggle, you're missing out on the most atmospheric FPS ever.
19:55ever made.
19:56There must be bigger beasts around.
19:59Chewak...
20:00Be careful not to wake them up.
20:04Shit!
20:05They're close!
20:06Wait, RTM!
20:07Don't rush!
20:08Careful here...
20:11Anything's about to run the city?
20:12Not yet.
20:13But I got an idea about how me and...
20:15GTA 4.
20:16Alright, I'm gonna say it.
20:18I actually like GTA...
20:20GTA 4 more than GTA 5.
20:22Yeah, I said it.
20:23There is a grit...
20:25and a weight to Liberty City that the series hasn't touched since.
20:29Niko Bellic is...
20:30in my opinion...
20:31the most human protagonist Rockstar has ever written.
20:34He's not a...
20:35cartoon character.
20:36He's a man haunted by war.
20:38Just trying to find some peace in a city...
20:40that's built on lies.
20:41I remember the first time I felt the car physics.
20:44They were...
20:45heavy...
20:46boat-like...
20:47and actually required skill to drive.
20:49It wasn't...
20:50arcadey...
20:51and it made every high speed chase feel like a desperate struggle.
20:54The euphoria...
20:55physics engine in this game was a revelation.
20:58Seeing Niko stumble or react...
21:00to the force of an explosion felt so grounded.
21:03And the story?
21:04It's a...
21:05dark...
