The Top 100 Video Games of all Time
The Top 100 Video Games of all Time
IGN’s Top 100 games list encompasses the best of the best throughout history, spanning generations of consoles, PCs, handhelds, and more. Our list last saw a major update back in 2019, and since then, there have been several games released that deserved to be added. And just as importantly, we looked at the totality of the top 100 as it stood, and asked ourselves a few key questions, leading to some beloved games being dropped off, and other games we previously missed being added to the ranking.
Games added to our top 100 have to measure up to a few key metrics: how great a game it was when it launched, how fun it is to still play today, and how much any given game reflects the best in its class. While past versions of this list have put a big emphasis on a game’s impact and influence, we’ve essentially taken that out of the equation, as many games that left a mark and inspired future developers may not stand the test of time and be all that fun to play right now. Or, quite simply, they may have been surpassed by other games.
You can head to IGN to check out the full list in exhaustive detail, and we encourage you to check it all out for more context. With all of that said, IGN’s list reflects the current staff’s opinions of what are the 100 best games of all time – a collection of games that have continued to captivate us with their stories, wow us with their revelatory approach to game design, and set the standards for the rest of the industry. Here are the top 10 of that list.
#IGN
SMB & SM64 should be in top 3 for what they have bring in term of innovations. BOTW didn’t innovate in anything, open worlds existed way before this game and better ones like Minecraft, Skyrim, Fallout etc..
Who pays this guy to talk? I’ll double it to have him not talk ever again.
WHY IS MINECRAFT NOT NUMBER 1?????
Any big games this year that are not last gen ports ?
Portal franchise – arguably the most overrated games in history
This is the shittiest list I’ve ever seen. Even WatchMojo isn’t this bad.
couldn’t agree more on number 1 😁
There is no, one gears of war game?😡
the last of us
Breath of the wild is fun but not a masterpiece. The story is inferior to the predecessor and combat is not perfect.
No way mario beats red dead. Impossible
Groundbreaking:
ps1 = Tomb Raider…
ps2 = GTA 3
Everything after that is just graphics upgrades…
How are these not in the top 10…??
🔥🔥🔥
Can see lots of comments here literally saying BOTW doesn’t deserve it and that their top 10 are mostly games on PS. Try buying a switch and trying it out first.
LMAO IGN has no clue as always.
I’m gonna pretend you didn’t not include Halo 3 or COD MW….
breath of the wild is definitely a top 5 Zelda game of all time
Red Dead Redemption 2 is the best game of all time
Botw really number 1 🤦🏾♂️
Terraria
Oblivion, Halo 2, Banjo Kazooie, Vice City, Sega Gt 2002, Diddy Kong Racing, Snake Eater, Super Mario World, Smash Melee, Paper Mario 64
Where is knack 2
My top 5
5. Assassin’s creed black flag.
4. Witcher 3
3. Mario

My favorite game of all time is Watchdogs 2 you could hack , fire and drive all at the same time while drifting
SUPE SUPE SUPE SUPE SUPER MARIO BROTHAS 2
IGN: some older games don’t hold up, so we moved the list around to reflect this
Also IGN: here’s 10 old games that we’re going to describe as if you’ve never heard of them!
The narration sounds dead, automated, clipped and repetitive
How quickly do we forget,and become biased.And forget to give credit where credit is due. Pong !!! That is the greatest! They took the technology only known to scientist at exhibits and made that technology available to the public. Pretty groundbreaking, None of us would still be waiting for Half life 3 if it wasn’t for Pong !!!!
6 Nintendo games in the top 10… IGN definitely has a type
Suikoden 2
No GTA 5 🧐
Worst top
Dunkey already did this, we already know the best game of all time is CRAAAAAAAZY TAXI
Not mad at Zelda at #1 but the weapons breaking thing still bothers me 😂
No Witcher 3 so this list is automatically disqualified lol.
2018 Spiderman for the playstation should’ve been on this list somewhere
This list is actual dogshit. Stop hyping up Nintendo.
My top 10 (in no order):
Red Dead Redemption 2
Witcher 3
AC Black Flag
GTA 4
Disco Elysium
Mass effect 2
Sekiro
Dark Souls 1
GTA SA
Skyrim
MC doesn’t even get a spot?
