The Ultimate Top 10 Video Games of All Time

Alright, gamers, let’s settle the score. We’re diving into a list of video games so iconic they’ve probably stolen hours of your life—and you didn’t even regret it. This is my take on the Top 10 Greatest Video Games of All Time, based on the list. Buckle up for some sass, some truth, and a whole lot of pixelated perfection.

1. Final Fantasy IX (2000)

We’re kicking things off with one of the greatest JRPGs ever made. Final Fantasy IX is like the perfect comfort food for your soul: warm, nostalgic, and so satisfying. Zidane and the gang made “fantasy” fun again, and the music? Chef’s kiss. It’s not just a game; it’s an emotional support system.

2. Ori & the Will of the Wisps (2021)

Who knew platformers could make you cry? Ori & the Will of the Wisps said, “Let’s hit you with a gorgeous world, tight controls, and a storyline that punches your heart right in the feels.” It’s like a painting you can play—and then cry over. Absolute masterpiece.

3. The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask (2000)

If chaos, existential dread, and wearing creepy masks sound like a good time, Majora’s Mask is your vibe. This dark and moody cousin of Ocarina of Time gave us a countdown clock and said, “Save the world… or don’t. Up to you!” The time-loop mechanic still slaps, and that eerie moon? Haunting.

4. Kingdom Hearts 2 (2006)

This is where Disney magic and anime chaos collide, and honestly, we’re here for it. Kingdom Hearts 2 gave us faster combat, deeper stories, and a rollercoaster of emotions. Oh, and let’s not forget the banger soundtrack. You didn’t play this game; you lived it.

5. Undertale (2015)

Toby Fox woke up one day and decided to reinvent what it means to play a game. Undertale isn’t just quirky—it’s downright brilliant. It’s funny, emotional, and breaks the fourth wall like a pro. And let’s be real, if you didn’t cry during the Pacifist run, do you even have a soul?

6. To The Moon (2011)

This one? Straight-up feels train. Choo choo! To The Moon delivers a short but stunning story about love, loss, and dreams, and it will ruin your day in the best way. Gameplay might be minimal, but the emotional gut punch is maximum.

7. Super Mario Sunshine (2002)

Mario in tropical paradise? Yes, please. Super Mario Sunshine said, “Let’s add a water jetpack and vibes,” and it somehow worked. Cleaning up Isle Delfino was chaotic fun, and the soundtrack? A whole vacation. Sunshine Mario > every other Mario. Don’t argue.

8. Final Fantasy VI (1994)

Before the 3D era, Final Fantasy VI reigned supreme. It’s dramatic, dark, and gave us a villain so iconic (Kefka!) he literally ended the world. You want an opera scene in your RPG? You got it. This game walked so all other RPGs could run.

9. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (2004)

Stealth, survival, and a theme song so epic it belongs in a Bond movie. Snake Eater is peak Metal Gear, and you cannot convince me otherwise. Camo mechanics, emotional boss fights, and that ladder climb? Iconic. This isn’t just a game—it’s an experience.

10. Super Mario 64 (1996)

The one that started it all. Super Mario 64 invented 3D platformers and said, “Here’s the blueprint, folks.” It’s clunky by today’s standards, but we don’t care. Sliding down Peach’s castle, long-jumping everywhere—it’s pure joy, no matter how old you are.

The Final Word

This list is stacked with hits, each a game-changer in its own way. Whether you’re crying over To The Moon or speedrunning Mario Sunshine, these games didn’t just define genres—they defined eras. Did your favorite make the list? Let the debates begin !😄
