What are the best/highest quality Video Games ever made? (lemmy.world)

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).

I have to go way back and vote for the Shenmu trilogy. Open world and RPG.

I agree that Half Life for action adventure.

Definitely Portal 2 and the Talos Principal for puzzle.

Rocket League is awesome and so are the Skate games.

Crazy Taxi and Paradise City belong somewhere too

OG Half Life. I should load that up again!

I recently beat Half-Life MMod and really enjoyed it. I was worried it would be too over the top, but I found it just right as something between the original and Black Mesa.
