Have you ever wondered: what is the best video game of all time? For years now, developers have been chaining the classics and some video game opuses have gone down in history. The online magazine GQ recently had the idea of ​​asking the opinion of experts in the field in an attempt to make a list of the 100 best video games in the world. It is with the help of more than 300 journalists, developers, streamers and other influencers of the video game industry that GQ compiled this list that made people talk!

A Nintendo classic at the top of the charts

At the top of this ranking of the 100 best video games of all time is the classic The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. While Tears of the Kingdom has just been released, the first opus of the Nintendo Switch license continues to shine. Since their inception in the 1980s, Link’s adventures have never ceased to gather a strong community. The Legend of Zelda trend is still far from exhausted.

“The Nintendo Switch’s magnificent launch game changed the way many viewed open-world experiences. Vast in size, deeply systemic, with a completely unfettered approach to exploration, combat, and puzzles. Few games match its breadth in terms of experimental play opportunities, and few give the player such a sense of authority over their own discoveries. Its sequel, Tears of the Kingdom, has quite a legacy to claim.”

Here is a top 1 which definitively proves the colossal influence that Nintendo has around the world. The Japanese developer has reason to be proud of its video game nugget. Will the latest installment in Link’s epic do better than its predecessor in the hearts of the players?

A debated top 100

In this tightly packed top 100, we find great video game classics on the podium such as The Last of Us (2013) in second place and the mythical Tetris in third place. Further on are The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in fifth place, or Resident Evil 4 (2005) in eleventh position. As you will have understood, the highest places are reserved for classics which will have something to make everyone agree… although.

In the comments to a Twitter post about it, feedback is very mixed. Many deplore the presence of Pokémon, Street Fighter or even Mario games in the top 10. Fans of retro production are sad not to see the appearance of great classics like Pac-Man or Space Invaders. Like what, even with a ranking of 100 games, it is impossible to please everyone! In the meantime, players are also invited to share their top 10, even if it doesn’t match the one done by GQ.
