Video Games You Must Play Before You Die - The virtual experiences you need to have or see before becoming deceased

I gotta throw in my 2c with Return of the Obra Dinn - monochrome mystery game where you have to figure out how 52 men died on a ship. If that sounds interesting, play it. Look up as little beforehand and whatever you do, spoil nothing.
 
Whatever the current call of duty is. Please, Bobby Kotick needs that fucking money, his little indie studio does it's best to make the exact same game over and over again but with variable quality. No other studio is that brave.

Shit posting aside;
  • Faster Than Light
  • Diablo 2
  • Bloodborne
  • Brave Fencer Musashi
  • Final Fantasy VII
  • Devil May Cry 3
  • Devil May Cry 5
  • Metal Gear Solid 2
 
This is the only game you need

I see a lack of Psychonauts on these lists smh
 
Space Engine is sort of like that, while being less of a game and more about being a scientifically accurate simulator.
Noctis is also a game where you ride around and check out randomly generated planets and stuff. It's free! And obtuse as hell!

Everyone should play Pac-Man because in the afterlife I will complain about that piece of shit a lot, without context it will be really boring and on a long enough timeline I WILL get around to talking shit about Pac-Man with everyone that has ever and will live. You people will need to play it for context to understand what I'm talking about because the Pac-Man cabinets will be trapped in hell.
 
Super Metroid
Chrono Trigger
Xenogears
Ico
Shadow of the Colossus (the PS2 or PS3 version you cucks)

I have a book like this from 2001 called "the essential guide to video games". It's not a great book. Iirc it's basically a bunch of reviews from magazines Future owned at the time edited and brought together to make a 1000+ game encyclopedia of sorts.

I see a lack of Psychonauts on these lists smh
A "lol so quirky" platform game by an overrated dev team? Why would that be on a list like this?

No one should ever play TLOU. Completely overrated, an unconvincing story and ruined by a retarded ending. The video game equivalent of Oscar Bait.
 
Fallout 3
Fallout 4
Skyrim
Oblivion
Need for Speed Most Wanted (the real one from 2005)
Age of Empires 2

New Vegas is an unfinished and unpolished game
