As an adult with a full time job and 3 kids.

Only a handful of game have kept my attention from beginning to end. So with that said, I’m pretty sure they fall into the masterpiece category for me personally.

Last two God of War’s

Last of Us Part 1 and 2

Days Gone (Can see why it’s not for everyone)

Witcher 3

Borderlands 3 (Can see why it’s not for everyone)

Horizon Zero Dawn

The Forest

I thought at first that Days Gone is gonna be a generic zombie game, but after playing it I realised what a great game it is and what an amazing story it has. It surely fits into the list

I played it on release and drooped it after 3 hours. then it got the PS5 update so gave it another. So glad i did.

Just wished they forced horde nests more into actual missions.

This game is all over the place in terms of story, but it is the best of the best when it comes to looter shooters. I've sunk countless hours into this game.

My true personal masterpiece is Nier automata

Other games like Hollow Knight, Hades, Nier replicant, skyrim, etc. are all absolutely amazing, but can't compare to the experience of Nier automata

Loved Observer

It really sucked me in. I played that game the whole day for like 9 hours and beat it that night. It had classic horror elements with a sci fi twist, eerie future crimes and an amazing OST. I am excited about playing the redux.

Madmonkeman t1_j2b2jrz wrote

The reason I loved it was because of how well they told the story through symbolism in the “neural interrogation” segments. It wasn’t an in your face story but I could tell what was going on.

munitionchipsintoys t1_j2b52yh wrote

I might have missed that I will play it again for sure.
Oh you mean like seeing what happened with everyone?

Madmonkeman t1_j2bkulj wrote

Yeah like the one section where there’s the TV puzzle that has a light that closes the doors is one of the best ones to show how the character was feeling.

munitionchipsintoys t1_j2bu26b wrote

I don't think I ever drew a connection from that to the character's feelings. On my playthrough of redux I'll keep this in mind.

Both Red Dead games (story telling doesn't get better than this)

Fallout New Vegas (absolute best Western rpg)

Dishonored (the best stealth game out there)

Doom Eternal (the greatest single player shooter ever)

Skyrim (the world in this game is just so cool)

GTA4 (this game with both DLC's is the definitive gta game)

Bioshock 1 and infinite (no explanation needed)

Halo 3,Reach, and odst (these games are just works of art)

Funny thing is my favorite Videogame presses all the right buttons on me and I am overly obssesed with it but I dont think its a masterpiece. A gem meybe but meybe even that is pushing it. A good solid game yeah I am more comfortable describing it as such.

Do I know any Masterpiece? The first that comes to mind is Kirby and the Forgotten Land. That one is pretty amazing.

cymbalmonke t1_j29dzh9 wrote

Honestly for the most 'this is why videogames are a thing' moment I gotta say Helldivers is a masterpiece. Shared screen so you always see what everyone is doing, gigantic skill ceiling, goofy fun to be had mechanics upon mechanics.

It's just one of those games that give you that good fun game feeling when you're playing

Nobody, because for me the subjective masterpiece does not exist and for that reason I do not consider any videogame a masterpiece.

Flexus98 OP t1_j29too1 wrote

But couldn't you say that about other types of arts as well? Do you think there is a game that is an "objective" masterpiece? Like it's that good overall and it's not a matter of opinion

FarmDry8229 t1_j2ahuys wrote

I think the definition of a masterpiece exists for a reason.
In my opinion people use the word masterpiece to indicate a game that they
really liked, that emotion him, with which he had fun etc ... but the emotions,
the fun, the boredom etc ... They are subjective things and vary from person to
person. I do not think I have the necessary skills to define which game is
objectively a masterpiece or which are masterpieces in other arts, but the
definition of masterpiece is: a work of art such as a painting, movie, book,
etc. that is an excellent, or the best, example of the artist's work, for video
games a masterpiece should be a game that excels in all its parts (I have
almost), for example a game that is perfect in gameplay and in its other
parts, or the best work of an author could be considered the one who created a game, a mechanic etc ... which then became a reference point and/or revolutionized the video game industry.

I’m gonna be that guy and say Death Stranding

Now I can 100% see why the majority of people will not enjoy this game.

But for myself it was more than a game, it was a relatability experience.

A desolate land yet so full of life, no positive interactions with anyone except for the like meter, nobody to communicate with yet a huge community playing as you do. Sound familiar?

To start with, what made this game a masterpiece to me was the music, the music in this game is so depressing (don’t be so serious) yet at times inspiring (asylum for the feeling). These songs would appear at certain parts of the map or missions, the tone of the songs would fully match the tone of the landscapes.

See dead land que sad song, see a settlement you haven’t explored yet que inspirational music.

The story is so confusing yet so gripping. The mood and atmosphere matched a period in my life when I was so alone and thinking about finishing things. Then journeying through with Sam Porter Bridges, his grit and determination to bring America back to a civilised nation.

And let’s not forget about one of the most underrated badass characters in video game history, Clifford Unger. Every scene he was in was absolutely thrilling, the scene in the sewers where we are introduced to him, goosebumps.
