My favourite 50 videogames

April 2026

My favourite videogames of all time (so far). Favourite, not the best. That would change the order of these games a lot. Most important is my experience with them. For some it's a great experience because it's a fantastic game, for others it's what the game made me feel/experience and with some I just had a lot of fun (with friends). Top 10 is pretty clear and I expect won't change soon but the rest will change since I have a lot of games on my backlogg that I expect will bump another of this list. Also my view on games has changed quite a bit since I started playing games (around 1996). So a lot of games I have spend a lot of time with in the past and I have a lot of nostalgia for but I wouldn't put in my top 10 or 20 at this point in my life.
