What games would you consider objectively some of the greatest ever made? or a top 100.

To clarify I don't mean nostalgic to you, but either if it has objectively excelled in Music and artistic Merit, storyline, or gameplay compared to the rest. If it was to be looked at from a scholarly point of view.

With movies we have Shawshank Redemption, citizen kane, and the Godfather etc.. And most recently the Joker. Etc.. Just to name a few.

And with books with have the odyssey, the divine comedy, east of eden, 1984 etc..



With video games it encompasses much more than either of these formats. So we can't really make one solid list.

So it should it be split into the below.

1. Storyline  - A separate list with the greatest stories ever told in the video game medium.

2. Music and Artistic Merit/ Graphical presentation

3. Gameplay - I think the list would range from old to modern saying it's something that is consistent with video games.


I could suggest some candidates for a hypothetical list.

Storyline

- Halo
- Starcraft
- Silent hill 2 (perhaps)
- I have no mouth and I must scream


Music and Artistic Merit/ Graphical presentation

- Skyrim
- Oblivion
- Sekiro
- Street Fighter 2
- Chrono Trigger
- Silent Hill
- Ico
- DOOM
- Final Fantasy X

Gameplay

-DOOM
-Pac man

Hmm.. There's a lot.

I agree with all of them except Bioshock 2. It's story was alright but not as good as the rest of the series.
