Silent Hill 2 is, in my opinion, in fierce contention for the best video game ever made. At the moment I’d say the top three are Silent Hill 2, Morrowind, and Red Dead Redemption 2. I was overjoyed to hear the remake received overwhelmingly positive acclaim. Having played it myself I think they did a phenomenal job remaking it. Bloober perfectly balanced keeping what was great with what needed updating (fucking tank controls), and the stuff they added and expanded felt very well done and very reverent to the original. Nothing short of an artistic masterpiece.

No bloodborne, elden ring or god of war on top three.

I don’t think I could just limit my candidates to three. One of my personal criteria is that the game was awesome when released (one of those games I kept obsessing about, outside gaming time), but is also good now when replayed (discounting the typical gameplay QoL improvements since then). Several really good games do that for me (in no particular order): Silent Hill 2 Morrowind Terranigma Bloodborne Chrono Trigger Half-Life Baldur’s Gate 2 Pokémon Crystal Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne Tactics Ogre Ultima 6 Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines … and many others. Most of them are old, mainly because I don’t know if my modern favorites will pass the test of time in 10 years (games like Crimson Desert, Control, Lies of P or Wuchang).
