What are the best/highest quality Video Games ever made? (self.asklemmy)

Feel free to list a few video games from different genres. Best is definitely subjective and I'm sure there are many "Best" games for various categories.

Half Life: Alyx for example is widely considered the "Best" VR game. Many would agree it's the best Action VR game, but it wouldn't be the "Best" for puzzles.

To make it easier I'll list the types of Genres for Video Games from Wikipedia. Please do give suggestions for some of the highest quality games you've played from various categories:

Action: Platform games, shooter, fighting, survival, etc
Action-Adventure: Survival horror
Adventure: Interactive, real time, 3d, text adventures, etc
Puzzle: Exploration, trial and error, breakout, logical games, etc
Role-playing: Action RPG, MMORPG, tactical, sandbox, etc
Simulation: Management, life simulation, vehicle simulation, etc
Strategy: Real time, turn based, wargame, grand strategy, etc
Sports: Racing, competitive, sports games, etc
MMO: Massively multiplayer online game
Openworld: Sandbox, creative, open world, etc

Note: Non-exhaustive category list. There are more such as card games, board games, etc. Please check the wiki link above for more categories to get ideas for the "best" games.

I personally would recommend Subnautica (Open World), Half Life: Alyx (VR Action-Adventure), The Witcher 3 (Role-playing), Black Mesa (Action), Titanfall 2 (Action), Portal 2 (Puzzle), Battlebit (MMO/Action), and Half Life 3 (Fictional Game).

Yeah, the person who initially recommended me the game told me to not even watch the trailer. I watched it anyway, but the point he was making was to enjoy the game the first time, as you won't get that same experience again.

I guess you could say the same applies to every story game, but from what I've heard, it applies so much more so to Outer Wilds. Wish me luck on my adventure, I look forward to it!
