00:03Hello? Hello?
00:07Do you see anything you fancy? I like the red ones myself.
00:11The purples will give you a lift on a gray day.
00:14You'll like where this will take you.
00:20Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?
00:49I don't think I want to spoil it for you.
00:54You'll see for yourself, Scout's honor.
01:05Game of the Year 2012, Far Cry 3.
01:09Far Cry 3 is an open-world shooter from 2012, and it's built around Jason Brody,
01:15a guy who starts off as a rich kid on vacation and ends up stuck on an island ruled by
01:20pirates.
01:21The whole place looks like a summer getaway at first, but once things go bad, it turns harsh really fast.
01:28Jason's whole story ends up being this wild slide from scared outsider to someone who's way more dangerous than he
01:35ever planned to be.
01:37A lot of people still talk about Vos Montenegro, and yeah, there's a reason for that.
01:42His scenes hit hard, his whole vibe is unsettling, and his big definition of insanity moment became one of those
01:50lines everyone remembers even if they haven't played the game in years.
01:54But Far Cry 3 works because the island is just fun to mess around in.
01:59You can sneak through camps with a knife, run in guns blazing, set a whole field on fire and let
02:05it spread, or let the local wildlife do the dirty work for you.
02:09Animals help you, animals attack you, and almost every side activity gives you some little upgrade or new toy to
02:16play with.
02:16Clearing outposts, hunting for materials, checking out weird caves and temples, it all stacks together in a way that keeps
02:24you moving from one thing to the next without really thinking about it.
02:28It's the kind of game where you look up and realize hours have passed because the island keeps giving you
02:33stuff to do.
02:37Game of the year 2013, The Last of Us.
02:41The Last of Us is a 2013 release from Naughty Dog, built around two characters, Joel and Ellie.
02:48On paper, it's an action game in a ruined America, but the real hook is how personal their journey feels.
02:54The first scene alone hits like a truck, and it sets the mood for everything that follows.
03:00As you move from city to city, you deal with infected, desperate groups of survivors, and a world that's pretty
03:07much fallen apart.
03:08And it isn't the kind of game where you're loaded with ammo.
03:11Every shot matters, every fight feels rough, and a lot of moments stick with you because of how raw they
03:17are.
03:18What carries the whole thing is watching Joel and Ellie grow into something like a family.
03:23They start off barely trusting each other, and little by little they end up forming this bond that turns into
03:29the core of the story.
03:30By the end, you're left thinking about their choices long after the credits stop.
03:35And not many games have that kind of punch.
03:38The acting, the look of the world, and that soft, haunting soundtrack all work together in a way that made
03:44The Last of Us stand out back then and still hit hard today.
03:48It wasn't just the standout game of 2013, it turned into a classic that people still bring up when talking
03:55about the best games ever made.
04:00Game of the Year 2014 Dragon Age Inquisition.
04:04Dragon Age Inquisition is Bioware doing what they do best on a huge scale.
04:10This one came out in 2014, and the whole thing centers on you as the Inquisitor, running a growing faction
04:16instead of just wandering around as some lone troublemaker.
04:19The game gives you these wide open zones to roam through.
04:23Thick green forests, big coastlines with storms rolling in, sandy deserts and battle-scarred fields, and each place is stuffed
04:32with things to poke around in.
04:33But the real hook is the crew.
04:35Bioware's always known for great party members.
04:39And here, you've got Cassandra, Varric, Iron Bull, Solus, all of them with their own moods, their own problems, their
04:47own little quirks.
04:48Talking to them, messing with their quests, all that stuff gives the whole adventure a lot of weight.
04:54And the whole political side of the game adds even more.
04:57You sit in on meetings, deal with nobles, and make calls that change how entire regions move forward.
05:04It feels like you're actually running something.
05:06Oh, and the dragon fights?
05:08Huge, loud, wild battles that always feel like a big moment, even late in the game.
05:14Huge, loud,
05:28Gefser, loud, ult!
05:41So this is Route 2-1.
05:55game of the year 2015 the witcher 3 wild hunt this one landed in 2015 and people still bring
06:03it up as one of the best rpgs ever made cd project red built this whole world that feels alive
06:10towns with people dealing with their own mess fields torn up by war monsters hiding in the fog
06:17all of it tied together with small details everywhere you look you play as geralt of rivia
06:22on the hunt for siri moving through lands full of magic shifting alliances and a lot of ugly history
06:29what really makes the game stand out is the writing even simple jobs like taking a contract for some
06:35creature turn into stories with choices that actually matter maybe the monster isn't what
06:40the villager said it was maybe helping someone means someone else gets hurt and the cast around
06:46geralt jennefer tris and everyone you run into on the road just makes the journey hit even harder
06:53with strong combat sharp characters and quests that stick with you the witcher 3 didn't just
06:58win 2015 it set a new bar for how good an rpg can feel game of the year 2016 uncharted
07:094 a thief's end
07:11uncharted 4 a thief's end is the game that closed out nathan drake's story and it did it with a
07:16ton
07:17of style naughty dog went all in on this one the whole thing mixes huge action scenes with a quieter
07:23story about a guy who's been running from danger his whole life and is finally trying to figure out
07:28who he wants to be the big shift here is sam nathan's brother the way their history slowly
07:34comes out gives nathan a whole different feel and the moments with elena and sully keep everything
07:40grounded so it never drifts into just being loud action for the sake of it and the places you go
07:45man this game still looks wild that stretch through madagascar feels massive and bright the hidden
07:52streets of libertalia have this busted worn charm to them and the ocean sequences look almost
07:58too real at times it's not just pretty either the gunfights feel smooth the rope swinging adds a
08:05cool rhythm to moving around and the puzzle bits give you some breathing room without slowing you
08:10down too much it's one of those games where every part feels like it matters and by the time the
08:15credits hit it really feels like they wrapped up nathan's story in the best way they could
08:23game of the year 2017 the legend of zelda breath of the wild the legend of zelda breath of the
08:30wild
08:30is the game that flipped the whole series on its head and changed how people think about open worlds
08:37everything in this world is built around freedom the moment link wakes up and steps outside the whole
08:44map feels open in a way few games ever manage any cliff can be climbed any spot you see off
08:51in the
08:51distance is fair game and the tools you get are simple but let you mess with the world in all
08:56kinds
08:57of smart ways you cook food glide off peaks poke around old ruins ride horses you catch yourself and the
09:05world always gives you something strange to poke at it never pushes you down a path or funnels you
09:11through tight spaces it just trusts you to wander and figure things out and that soft painterly look
09:18mixed with that calm music gives the quiet moments just as much weight as the big ones for a lot
09:25of
09:25people this wasn't just the standout game of 2017 it became one of those titles that changed how other
09:32games were made afterward it's simple open playful and somehow huge without ever feeling bloated
09:41so
09:54so
09:55so
10:19No! You are not ready! Stay back!
10:51Game of the Year 2018 God of War
10:55God of War came out in 2018 and this one marked a sharp turn for the whole series.
11:01Kratos is still the main guy but now he's older, carries himself differently and he's raising Atreus while trying to
11:07keep his past from boiling over.
11:09The game plays out across a bunch of Norse realms and the whole trip feels big and personal at the
11:15same time.
11:16The old button mashing stuff is gone. Instead you got this leviathan axe that hits hard, feels great to hurl
11:22and snaps back into your hand with the best sound ever.
11:26Fights have real weight to them, whether you're chopping through draugr groups or standing toe to toe with huge trolls.
11:33The game looks wild too. Crisp details, giant set pieces and boss fights that stick with you.
11:39Through all the action, there's a steady, quiet story about a father trying to do better and it keeps the
11:45whole adventure grounded.
11:47By the end, it's clear this wasn't just a fresh coat of paint for the series, it's the moment where
11:52God of War proved it could grow into something deeper without losing the edge fans love.
12:01Back away boy!
12:12Here's your chance! Show me already!
12:14Yes, sir!
12:21Watch out!
12:25Back off, little cleaning!
12:28On special shots, I will draw it to me!
12:39Game of the Year 2019, Sekiro Shadows Die Twice.
12:44Sekiro Shadows Die Twice showed up in 2019 and From Software went in a different direction with this one.
12:51Instead of picking a build or mixing magic and gear, the game locks you into fast, sharp sword work
12:57that's all about timing.
12:59The whole thing revolves around breaking an enemy's posture and reading their moves.
13:03And once it clicks, it feels incredibly clean.
13:07But Sekiro isn't just tough fights.
13:09You get a grappling hook that lets you dart across rooftops, hop through trees, and sneak around in ways you
13:16can't in Dark Souls or Bloodborne.
13:18The world has this calm beauty to it, but every area hides something that'll test you.
13:24There are secret paths, strange bosses, and plenty of moments that make you stop and figure things out.
13:30It's rough at first, but if you stick with it, the payoff hits hard.
13:34A lot of players still call it one of the most rewarding games ever made, and it's pretty easy to
13:40see why once you get into the rhythm.
13:44Game of the Year 2020, The Last of Us Part 2.
13:48The Last of Us Part 2 is one of those games people still bring up years later, and it's easy
13:54to see why.
13:55Naughty Dog went all in on a much heavier story this time, and the whole thing feels tougher, rougher, and
14:01way more personal than the first game.
14:03Ellie's side is full of hard choices and a ton of hurt, and then the game switches over and lets
14:09you see Abby's world,
14:10which flips the whole cycle around and makes you rethink everything you thought you understood.
14:14Folks were all over the place on how they felt about the story, but nobody walked away without an opinion.
14:20People argued about it, praised it, hated it, or sat with it for weeks.
14:24And that's kind of the thing with this game. It sticks with you.
14:28Some players call it a masterpiece. Others think it pushed too far,
14:31but it sparked more talk than almost anything else released that year.
14:35Love it or not, it hit hard.
14:41Game of the Year 2021, It Takes Two.
14:44It Takes Two is one of those co-op games that just surprises you every couple of minutes.
14:49He's like built this really sweet, funny story about a couple trying to mend their messy relationship,
14:55and they wrapped it in a game that just never stops throwing new ideas at you.
14:59Every area swaps in a new trick—magnets, time powers, flying sections, tiny toy-sized levels—and then drops them for the
15:07next wild thing.
15:08It's constant.
15:10The cool part is that the whole thing has to be played with another person.
15:13You can't solo your way through it.
15:15You're always working with someone, messing up jumps together, yelling instructions, or cracking up when something goes wrong.
15:22And that's why it sticks. People finish this game with inside jokes, funny moments, and stories they still bring up
15:28later.
15:29It's just a really sharp co-op game that knows exactly how to keep you and your partner having fun
15:34the whole way through.
15:38Game of the Year 2022 Elden Ring
15:41Elden Ring is from software taking everything they learned from Dark Souls and spreading it across one giant world full
15:49of strange places and wild surprises.
15:53Limgrave, Leyendel, Kaled—each spot has its own look, and its own problem is waiting for you, and the game never
15:59tells you which way to go first.
16:01You can ride off in any direction, poke around some ruin you found by accident, or go after a big
16:07boss long before you're ready, and that freedom is what makes the whole thing stick.
16:12The cool part is how often the game tricks you into thinking you've seen most of it, and then you
16:18hit some lift that keeps going and going, and suddenly you're in a whole underground zone that might as well
16:24be its own game.
16:25And the bosses, man, they're rough, but beating one feels like you just pulled off something huge.
16:31Every win has that I'm never forgetting this kind of weight to it, and that's a big part of why
16:36Elden Ring didn't just hit in 2022, it changed what people expect from RPGs.
16:49How else is a champion, or a lord, to be born?
16:58Well...
16:59A lowly tarnished...
17:04Playing as a lord...
17:07I command thee...
17:36Grandish the Elden Ring.
17:43Game of the Year 2023, Baldur's Gate 3.
17:47Baldur's Gate 3 is Lirian Studios going all-in on Dungeons & Dragons rules and turning it into this massive,
17:54reactive adventure where almost anything you try actually works.
17:58It's packed with choices, and the game doesn't just acknowledge them, it bends around them in a way that makes
18:03every run feel like your own weird story.
18:06You can talk your way through problems, or blow everything up, or flirt with half the cast, or toss junk
18:12at enemies just to see what happens.
18:14It welcomes that kind of chaos.
18:16But the cast is what really sticks with people.
18:19Starion, Shadowheart, Karlak, these characters hit hard emotionally, and the game gives you so many ways to build your relationship
18:27with them that no two people end up with the same story.
18:30By the end, you've got your own path, your own ending, your own mess of choices to look back on,
18:36and that's why Baldur's Gate 3 didn't just surprise folks.
18:39It became one of those games people talk about like it changed their whole year.
18:46Game of the Year 2024, Black Myth Wukong.
18:51Black Myth Wukong is one of those games that came out swinging the moment people saw it.
18:56It follows the classic Journey to the West tale, but it focuses hard on the Monkey King himself,
19:02giving him a stack of wild powers, sharp staff strikes, and shape-shifting tricks that all feel great in motion.
19:09What grabbed everyone first, though, was how the game looked.
19:13The Unreal Engine 5 work here is on another level.
19:17Forests feel thick and alive, old temples look carved by real hands, snowy cliffs have weight to them,
19:24and the darker monster zones have this heavy, grim look that sticks with you.
19:28Once you start fighting, it backs all that up.
19:31The staff hits snap fast, spells fire off with a punch,
19:35and the transformations add a whole extra layer to how you plan fights.
19:39The bosses are huge and staged in a way where every one of them feels like a big showdown.
19:45People spent years wondering if this thing could actually hit the crazy hype behind it.
19:50When it finally dropped, it ended up doing more than enough.
19:53The whole project showed that this studio wasn't just promising big ideas,
19:58they could actually deliver something that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the biggest action games out there.
20:19I think it's per se.
20:33I think it's just...
20:53game of the year 2025 claire obscure expedition 33 claire obscure expedition 33
21:01is a turn-based rpg but it barely feels like the old style at all the whole thing is set
21:06in this
21:07strange french inspired world that looks hand painted but also kind of unsettling the story
21:13follows the last folks in expedition 33 as they try to stop a curse that wipes people off the map
21:19year after year the cool part is how the battles work you're still picking moves like a normal rpg
21:24but every attack and block has you aiming dodging or timing things in real time which keeps you
21:30alert the whole way through the creature designs are twisted the cities look dreamlike and the
21:35music matches the heavy drama of the world the game launched on april 24th 2025 from sandfall
21:42interactive and ended up winning game of the year a lot of people compared it to older rpgs they loved
21:48but it didn't just copy anything it felt like the team understood why those classics worked and then
21:53built their own version of it but cast sold the story really well even when the drama got big and
21:59messy and the way it deals with loss and how people handle fear makes the whole thing hit harder
22:04it's focused stylish and confident and it earned every bit of the praise it got
22:29game of the year 2026 gta 6 grand theft auto 6 is rock stars big 2026 release and the whole

23:04way cars crumple like real metal and people react to gunfire and physics with way more weight the world

23:43into port gellhorn at a whole stretch of rural land where the police don't show up as fast and people
23:48handle problems their own way what stands out is how packed everything feels tons of buildings aren't
23:55just background pieces anymore you can walk into hotels pawn shops and a bunch of smaller places
24:01spread around the cities the streets are busy and every part of vice city feels like it has its own
