Here is a list of 10 games you should really play.

10. Stories Untold
A short but great game that takes place in 4 hour long parts. It gives off a really nice aesthetic with some intriguing puzzles and a great story.

9. Firewatch
A game that takes place in the wilderness. Your only communication is a radio to the next tower. In this game, things may not be as big as they seem and the writing is phenomenal. The game has a relaxing vibe but can get tense real quick. The graphics are beautiful.

8. Death Stranding
This is an enormously long game that is essentially a walking sim with AAA graphics and gameplay mechanics. The story is a little confusing to understand at first but once you get it, you are invested. Traversal is tough and the gameplay is not for everyone, but it is usually challenging in a good way which makes you plan out routes effectively.

7. Dying Light
Fast paced zombie game with parkour mechanics. It has a pretty good story campaign and the gameplay is some of the most fun I have experienced in a while. Jumping from roof to roof is exhilarating, and even better while being chased by zombies. I thought the campaign was good, but some people didn’t like it as much.

6. Portal 2
A great puzzle game that really makes you think (with portals). The humor is great and the general writing is great too. I recommend playing the first one first.

5. GTA 5
This is a fun game to play when you want to cause a little chaos. Car chases are fun and shootouts can be very engaging. The storyline is also great and the characters are phenomenal. While not the most child-friendly, this is certainly a must play.

4. Metro: Exodus
Of all the metro games, Exodus takes the cake for the best so far. Set in a post-apocalyptic Russia, the main cast of characters embark on a journey across the country to find a place to start a colony after hiding in the metro tunnels for so long. The story is phenomenal and emotional at times. I recommend playing the whole series, but Exodus is truly the best of them all.

3. The Last of Us
One of the best narrative games out there. In a zombie apocalypse, the main character works to find refuge and protect a young girl. Gameplay is standard but fun and the game gets you hooked on the plot.

2. Outer Wilds
A game about exploring a solar system stuck in a time loop. This is one of the best games I have ever played and also one of the most emotional. The cloud and solving of puzzles is natural and intuitive. Exploration is one of the best in a video game. This game is best going into it blind so don’t look at anything else for it until after you finish.

1. Red Dead Redemption 2
In my opinion, this is the best game ever made. The only game to get me to almost cry and the best open world I have ever seen. There is so much to do and the characters are phenomenal. Even the most minor of encounters feels specially crafted for the players enjoyment. The main story is excellent and I can see almost no flaws. The 60 hours of playtime went by so fast. Anyone interested in video games even a little bit should play this game, no questions asked.
