General Game Discussion thread for April 2026

Making a top 10 of a category that is as broad as video games makes no sense to begin with. But this list is really a top 10 of first- and third-person action-adventure/RPG games with Resident Evil 4 as a bit of an odd one out.

I'd personally add Fallout: New Vegas and one of the Assassin's Creed games in there myself and based off of ratings it seems Black Myth: Wukong might deserve a spot as well, but it's not a terrible list if you restrict it to that category.

I think Resident Evil 4 and The Witcher 3 both definitely belong in that list. RE4 was not just fantastic fun, it influenced a whole genre. The Witcher 3 was just insanely well done and the writing was at a level that you rarely find in a AAA game. Graphics were the top of its era. It is easily one of the most beloved games of all time.

Personally, another game I would add to that list is Portal 2. Even though I like Satisfactory better, I think Factorio belongs here. It was a founding member of the now huge automation/factory genre. Minecraft? It's completely nuts to leave that off the list.

But as I think about it more. a Top 10 list doesn't do the industry justice. There have been so many foundational, amazing games. Maybe we should just focus on "the most amazing PC games in history"
