Given the medium's wild diversity, this primer of the essential video games everyone should try is a good place to start.

Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1
Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.
Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
The 2024 Game Anniversaries include some major titles including Half-Life 2, Uncharted 2, and Minecraft.
It is still an amazing game and I hope we see more of it soon. It came out with little expectation and became the new standard for the genre.
This sort of article comes up once every few months... Is there anyone who would argue it's not one of the greatest PC games of all time?
A masterpiece yes ofc :D
Half-Life 3 already Valve! :P
One of the best games on any console... EVER
