00:00Dude, today I'm going to show you truly unmissable games, the kind you need to play at least once in your life.
00:07The truth is, we're just passing through this world and time is short, so some game has become mandatory experiences, the kind you should play as soon as possible.
00:16I've selected the 15 best games you absolutely need to play at least once in your life.
00:22Whether you're a casual player or a hardcore gamer, these titles deliver powerful, intense, and unforgettable experiences that stay with you long after the credits roll.
00:34Man, Metro Exodus is just, it's a mood, you know?
00:39I remember the exact moment I stepped out of the Moscow tunnels and realized the world was so much bigger and more terrifying than I thought.
00:48It's not just a shooter, it's a journey across a broken Russia on a train called the Aurora.
00:54What really got me was the immersion.
00:56You aren't just looking at a HUD, you're manually checking your map in real time, wiping mud off your gas mask and listening to your breath fogging up the glass.
01:06It makes you feel vulnerable.
01:09RDM's story here feels so much more personal because of the crew.
01:12I spent way too much time just sitting on the train, smoking a virtual cigarette, and listening to the characters talk about their dreams.
01:21The open sandbox levels like the Volga or the Caspian Sea are breathtakingly haunting.
01:27One minute you're sneaking past mutants in a lightning storm, and the next you're discovering a tragic story left behind in a dusty note.
01:35It's gritty, it's clunky in a way that feels realistic, and the ending, man, I'm not going to spoil it, but it left me staring at the screen for a good 10 minutes.
01:46If you want a game that feels like a survival epic, rather than just another FPS, you need this.
01:51Rise, Son of Rome
02:00Okay, I know what some of you are thinking, Rise, really?
02:04But listen to me.
02:05Even in 2026, Rise, Son of Rome is one of the most cinematic and visually stunning experiences you can have.
02:13I remember playing this for the first time and being floored by the facial animations and the way the sun reflected off Marius' armor.
02:20It feels like you're the lead actor in a $200 million historical blockbuster.
02:26The story is a classic tale of revenge and honor, and Marius Titus is a protagonist you really end up rooting for as he navigates the corruption of Rome.
02:35The combat is heavy, brutal, and incredibly satisfying.
02:40Yeah, it uses a lot of executions, but the rhythm of parrying a barbarian's axe and then leading a shield wall formation into a hail of arrows?
02:48It's pure hype.
02:50I'll admit it's a bit linear and the gameplay doesn't change much, but that's actually what I love about it.
02:56It doesn't overstay its welcome.
02:58It's a tight seven-hour blast of pure Roman fury.
03:02Every time I see a massive battle on screen, I just want to jump back in and lead my legion one more time.
03:08It's a spectacle that every gamer should witness at least once just for the sheer wow factor.
03:21Detroit Become Human is a game that actually made me question my own morality.
03:27Detroit Become Human is a trip.
03:29You're playing through three different androids, Connor, Kara, and Marcus, and the way their stories intertwine is just genius.
03:38I remember my first playthrough, I was so stressed because the game actually makes you feel the weight of your choices.
03:45There are no wrong answers, just consequences that ripple through the entire city.
03:51One minute you're playing a detective thriller with Connor, and the next you're in a heart-wrenching survival story with Kara.
03:57The production value here is insane.
04:00The actors did such a killer job that you forget their digital characters.
04:05I personally became obsessed with Connor's buddy cop vibe with Lieutenant Anderson.
04:10Their chemistry is easily the highlight for me.
04:13What's crazy is that the flowchart at the end of each chapter shows you just how many paths you missed,
04:20which makes you want to immediately go back in and try to save everyone.
04:23It tackles some really heavy themes about humanity and civil rights, and it does it with so much style.
04:31It's a slow-burn narrative masterpiece that proves games can be just as powerful as the best prestige TV shows.
04:38You don't need to be looking at that.
04:43The Last of Us Part 1
04:45Look, I've played a lot of games, but very few have left a permanent scar on my soul like The Last of Us Part 1.
04:54Even if you've seen the show, you have to play the game.
04:57There is something about being in control of Joel, feeling the desperation of every brick you throw and every shiv you craft.
05:04The relationship between Joel and Ellie is the heart of everything,
05:09and seeing it evolve from cold survival to a bond that would literally burn the world down,
05:14it's just peak storytelling.
05:16The sound design is what really messed with me.
05:19The clicking sound of, well, a clicker in a pitch-black basement?
05:24That's pure nightmare fuel.
05:26I love that it's not a power fantasy.
05:28You're often outgunned and low on ammo, which makes every encounter feel like it could be your last.
05:35The villains in this world aren't just the infected, it's the people who have lost their humanity.
05:40It's a beautiful, miserable, and incredibly human story.
05:44If you haven't sat through that ending and felt your heart sink into your stomach,
05:48you're missing out on one of the greatest pieces of art our industry has ever produced.
05:52It's mandatory. Period.
05:54Red Dead Redemption 2? Man.
06:01Red Dead Redemption 2 isn't just a game.
06:04It's a place you actually live in for a few months.
06:07I remember the first time I just sat by the campfire as Arthur Morgan,
06:12watching the sunrise over the heartlands,
06:14and I realized I hadn't even pulled my gun out in two hours.
06:18The level of detail is bordering on insane.
06:21The way your horse reacts to the cold, the mud on your boots,
06:25the way people in town remember if you caused trouble yesterday.
06:28It's slow, it's deliberate, and it demands your patience.
06:32But the payoff is a story that feels like a classic American novel.
06:37Arthur is probably my favorite protagonist of all time.
06:41He's a rough, dangerous man.
06:43But watching his internal struggle as the world of outlaws disappears around him is just heartbreaking.
06:50I spent so much time just hunting legendary animals or playing poker in Saint Denis,
06:56totally forgetting about the main missions.
06:58The world feels so alive that you almost feel guilty for fast traveling.
07:03Every time I hear that specific music kick in during a long ride, I get chills.
07:08It's a masterpiece of pacing and atmosphere that forces you to slow down and actually feel the life of an outlaw.
07:16If you haven't sat through the long, emotional journey of the Vanderlind gang,
07:20you're missing out on a piece of history.
07:23Uncharted 4, A Thief's End
07:31If Red Dead is a slow burn novel,
07:35Uncharted 4 is the greatest summer blockbuster you've ever been the star of.
07:40Naughty Dog really outdid themselves with this one.
07:43I remember the first time I used the grappling hook to swing over a cliff in Madagascar
07:49while the jeep was sliding through the mud, my heart was actually pounding.
07:54But what really hooked me this time wasn't just the explosions, it was the humanity.
08:00Seeing Nathan Drake try to live a normal life, playing video games on his couch and doing the dishes,
08:06made the high-stakes adventure with his brother Sam feel so much more earned.
08:11The chemistry between Nate, Sam, and Sully is just lightning in a bottle.
08:17The dialogue feels so natural, like you're just hanging out with old friends who happen to be getting shot at.
08:24The puzzles are clever without being annoying, and the locations?
08:28Man, the locations are breathtaking.
08:30From the ruins of a pirate colony to the mountains of Scotland,
08:34I found myself using the photo mode every five minutes.
08:38It's a perfect farewell to one of gaming's most iconic characters.
08:43It's got humor, it's got massive, holy crap set pieces, and it's got a heart of gold.
08:50It's the kind of game that reminds you why you started playing in the first place,
08:54for the sheer joy of the adventure.
09:00God of War 2018.
09:02Okay, let's talk about the most successful rebranding in history.
09:08Taking Kratos, the angriest man in Greece, and turning him into a stoic father in the Norse wilds was a genius move.
09:16God of War 2018 is a technical marvel.
09:20The fact that the entire game is one continuous camera shot with no cuts still blows my mind every time I play it.
09:27It makes the journey feel so much more intimate.
09:31You're right there with Kratos and boy, Atreus, every step of the way,
09:35feeling every heavy swing of the Leviathan axe.
09:39Speaking of that axe, the recall button is quite possibly the most satisfying mechanic ever put in a game.
09:46The relationship between Kratos and Atreus is the soul of the game.
09:51Watching Kratos struggle to be a father while hiding his bloody past is something that really hit home for me.
09:57The combat is brutal and tactical, a far cry from the button mashing of the old days.
10:02And the bosses?
10:04Man, the fight against the stranger at the beginning of the game is legendary.
10:09I loved exploring the Lake of Nine and seeing the world change as the water level dropped.
10:14It's a game about growth, secrets, and the weight of being a god.
10:18It's beautiful, it's violent, and it's a mandatory experience for anyone who wants to see how a character can truly evolve over 20 years.
10:29Poison.
10:33Finally for this batch, we have the game that actually made me feel like a superhero.
10:39Marvel's Spider-Man by Insomniac is just pure, unadulterated fun.
10:44I remember the first 10 minutes, just swinging through Manhattan.
10:48The physics, the sense of momentum, the way Peter quips as he dives off the Empire State Building, they nailed it.
10:56I didn't even use fast travel once in my entire playthrough, because just moving through the city was its own reward.
11:03But the real surprise for me was Peter Parker.
11:06This isn't an origin story, he's been doing this for years, and his normal life is just as messy and engaging as his life in the mask.
11:15The combat is like a violent ballet, using gadgets and the environment to take down rooms full of thugs.
11:22It's fast, fluid, and feels exactly how Spidey should fight.
11:27But man, the story.
11:28The final act of this game had me in actual tears.
11:32The villains aren't just one-dimensional bad guys, they have history with Peter, which makes every confrontation feel personal and heavy.
11:40The way the game balances the humor of the wall crawler with the tragic responsibility of being a hero is perfect.
11:48It's the best Spider-Man story ever told outside of the comics, in my opinion.
11:53If you haven't zipped through the streets of NYC and felt that rush of adrenaline, you need to fix that immediately.
12:02Man, where do I even begin with The Witcher 3?
12:10This isn't just an RPG, it's the gold standard that every other open world is still trying to catch up to.
12:16I remember wandering into a tiny village in Velen, thinking I was just doing a simple contract.
12:22And two hours later, I was caught in a massive, heartbreaking story about family and sacrifice.
12:28That's the magic here.
12:31Even the smallest side quest feels like it was written by a master novelist.
12:36Geralt of Rivia is such a phenomenal protagonist.
12:39He's world-weary and cynical, but he's got this hidden heart that makes every choice you make feel heavy and real.
12:46The world itself is just chef's kiss.
12:49From the muddy, war-torn swamps to the vibrant, colorful streets of Novigrad, the atmosphere is so thick you can almost smell the rain and the monsters.
13:00I spent literal days just playing Gwent in taverns or tracking down legendary gear, totally losing track of the main plot.
13:08The combat is tactical and forces you to actually be a witcher, brewing potions, oiling your blade, and studying your enemy.
13:16It's a game that respects your intelligence and rewards your curiosity at every turn.
13:21If you haven't lived Geralt's life, met Ciri, or faced the Wild Hunt, you're missing out on a piece of gaming's soul.
13:29It's a massive, beautiful, and deeply human epic that you'll never forget.
13:34Titanfall 2 has the best single-player FPS campaign of the last decade, and it's a crime that it doesn't get talked about every single day.
13:49The movement system is pure gameplay crack.
13:52Wall running, sliding, and double jumping feel so natural that every other shooter feels clunky after you play this.
13:59But the real hook is the bond between Jack Cooper and his titan, BT-7274.
14:07I didn't expect to get so attached to a giant walking tank, but BT is one of the most charming and loyal characters I've ever met in a game.
14:16His dry, robotic humor is just the best.
14:19Every single mission in this campaign introduces a new mechanic, like the time-traveling device in Effect and Cause,
14:27and then throws it away for something even cooler in the next level.
14:31It never overstays its welcome.
14:33It's just pure, distilled creativity from start to finish.
14:37The scale of the battles, where you're ejecting from your titan mid-air to take out a pilot,
14:42and then landing back in the cockpit, is pure adrenaline.
14:46It's a short campaign, maybe six or eight hours, but it's eight hours of absolute perfection.
14:53It's a game that reminds you how much fun a first-person shooter can actually be
14:58when the developers aren't afraid to take risks.
15:01Seriously, do it for BT.
15:08Sleeping Dogs
15:09If there's one game on this list that I will defend until my last breath, it's Sleeping Dogs.
15:16It's basically a high-octane Hong Kong action movie where you're the star.
15:21You play as Wei Shen, an undercover cop infiltrating the triads,
15:25and the tension of his double life is palpable in every cutscene.
15:29The atmosphere of Hong Kong is incredible.
15:32The night markets, the neon lights reflecting in the rain,
15:35the smell of street food almost coming through the screen.
15:39It feels so much more alive and dense than the massive, empty maps we see in a lot of modern open worlds.
15:46The combat is the real standout.
15:48It's heavily inspired by the Arkham games, but it's way more brutal and martial arts focused.
15:53I remember the first time I used a car door or a frozen fish to take down a group of thugs.
15:59It's visceral, crunching, and incredibly satisfying.
16:02The driving also has this arcade-like snap to it that makes high-speed chases through narrow alleys a total blast.
16:09It's a game with a massive heart, a killer soundtrack,
16:12and a story about loyalty and identity that actually goes to some dark, heavy places.
16:18It's a hidden gem that absolutely deserves its spot among the legends.
16:22If you haven't experienced Wei Shen's struggle, you're missing out on a classic.
16:30Rise of the Tomb Raider
16:32Rounding out this batch is Rise of the Tomb Raider,
16:35and for me, this is where the reboot trilogy really hit its peak.
16:40The setting of Siberia is just stunning.
16:43I spent way too much time in the photo mode,
16:45just looking at how the snow deforms under Lara's boots,
16:48or how the light hits the ancient ruins.
16:51This game leans heavily into the tomb part of the name,
16:54and discovering a hidden, massive underground temple behind a waterfall is a feeling of genuine wonder
17:01that few games manage to capture.
17:04It feels like a true, globe-trotting adventure with actual stakes.
17:09Lara feels so much more capable and scrappy here.
17:12The combat gives you so many options,
17:15from being a ghost in the bushes with a bow,
17:17to using the environment to cause absolute chaos.
17:21I loved the Metroidvania flow of the game.
17:24Getting a new piece of gear and remembering a cave you saw three hours ago is such a rewarding loop.
17:30The puzzles are actually clever,
17:32and make you feel like a genius when you finally solve them.
17:35It's a game that respects your curiosity,
17:38and rewards you for exploring every nook and cranny.
17:41It's polished, it's gorgeous, and it's the ultimate survival fantasy.
17:46If you want to feel like a legendary explorer,
17:48Lara's journey in the ice is mandatory.
17:55Elden Ring?
17:56Look, I'm gonna be real with you,
17:58Elden Ring is a mountain you just have to climb.
18:02I remember the first time I stepped out into Limgrave
18:05and saw that massive erd tree glowing on the horizon.
18:09I felt this weird mix of total awe,
18:12and oh man, I am going to die a lot, aren't I?
18:16And yeah, I did.
18:17But that's the beauty of it.
18:19It's a game that doesn't hold your hand.
18:21It respects you enough to let you get lost and find your own way.
18:25The sense of discovery here is unmatched.
18:28You see a weird tower in the distance,
18:31and two hours later, you've discovered an entire underground civilization.
18:35The combat is a brutal, high-stakes dance
18:38where every win feels like a genuine accomplishment.
18:42I've never shouted yes at my TV as loud as I did when I finally took down Melania.
18:48But it's not just about the difficulty.
18:50It's about the atmosphere.
18:52The world of The Lands Between is haunting, melancholic, and deeply mysterious.
18:57You're piecing together a story of fallen gods and shattered grace
19:01while fighting some of the most imaginative bosses ever designed.
19:05It's a massive, overwhelming, and soul-crushing masterpiece
19:10that somehow makes you want to keep coming back for more.
19:13If you haven't faced the challenge and become the Elden Lord,
19:17you're missing out on the definitive gaming experience of this decade.
19:21Starfield.
19:26Now, let's talk about a game that literally gave me the keys to the universe.
19:32Starfield is a polarizing one for some,
19:34but for me, it's pure dream fuel.
19:37There is something incredibly addictive about building your own spaceship from scratch,
19:42naming it, customizing the cockpit,
19:45and then taking off from a dusty moon into the starfield.
19:48I've spent literal hours just wandering across barren planets,
19:52looking at the rings of a gas giant through my telescope,
19:55and just soaking in the silence.
19:57It captures that specific feeling of the final frontier
20:01better than almost anything else out there.
20:03The scale is just hard to wrap your head around.
20:07One minute you're caught up in a high-stakes corporate espionage plot
20:10in the neon-lit streets of neon,
20:12and the next you're joining a faction of space cowboys
20:15or exploring an ancient alien mystery.
20:17I love how Bethesda it feels.
20:20The freedom to just pick a direction and find a story is still there,
20:24but now it's across a thousand planets.
20:27Sure, the loading screens can break the immersion sometimes,
20:30and the procedural planets can feel empty,
20:32but that's the point of space, right?
20:34It's vast and lonely.
20:36It's a game about curiosity
20:38and the human urge to see what's over the next horizon.
20:41If you've ever looked at the stars and wanted to go there,
20:44this is your ticket.
20:45Be careful, Captain.
20:48Alien...
20:48Resident Evil 7 Biohazard.
20:53Finally, we're ending on a game that genuinely made me scared
20:57to turn my lights off.
20:59Resident Evil 7 was a massive gamble for Capcom,
21:03shifting to first person,
21:04but man did it pay off.
21:06I remember the first time I entered that decrepit baker house
21:10and the Louisiana bayou.
21:11The smell of rotting food and damp wood
21:14felt like it was coming through the screen.
21:17This isn't just a zombie game.
21:19It's a claustrophobic Texas Chainsaw Massacre-style nightmare.
21:24Being hunted through those narrow hallways by Jack Baker
21:27is some of the most intense, heart-pounding tension
21:30I've ever experienced in a game.
21:33The shift to first person makes everything feel so much more personal.
21:37You aren't just watching a character get scared.
21:40You are the one hiding behind a door,
21:43praying that the creak of the floorboards doesn't give you away.
21:46The story of Ethan Winters and the mystery of the Baker family
21:50is dark, twisted, and surprisingly emotional.
21:54It brought the series back to its survival horror roots.
21:57Limited ammo, inventory management,
22:00and puzzles that actually make you think.
22:02It's a dirty, gross, and absolutely terrifying ride
22:06that completely revitalized the franchise.
22:09If you want to see if your heart can handle it,
22:11you need to step into that house.
22:14Just maybe don't play it right before bed.
22:16And there you have it, guys.
22:21Fifteen games that I truly believe you must play at least once.
22:27These are the experiences that make being a gamer so special.
22:32But I want to know, what's on your list?
22:34Is there a game that changed your life that I totally missed?
22:38Drop a comment below and let's talk about it.
22:41I'm always looking for my next mandatory experience.
