Games are not Art, they are Games.

Videogames can also be art, but they are also games and 'games' (note: not 'videogames') are not art.

I was going to say Sid Meier's Civilization, but both of them qualifies really.

It's really good, I played it again recently after not touching it for maybe 10 years, and finally beat the last difficulty in an attempt to prove to myself I'm still not old

Wizards got all up in Commander and killed my interest in it.

I've never felt so much for quadrilateral shapes.

Assuming that "masterpiece" refers to the quality and impact the games had in their time (not how well they aged) some of my picks would be:

• Baldur's Gate 2 + ToB
• Star Wars: KotoR
• Morrowind
• Read Dead Redemption 2
• The Witcher 3
• The Last of Us 1+2
• God of War
• Shadow of the Colossus
• The Legend of Zelda: BOTW
• Mass Effect 1+2
• Disco Elysium
• Half Life 2
• BioShock 1
• Diablo 2
• Fallout 2

I don't know how objective this list is. Some picks are definitely subjective and fit more in a "flawed masterpiece" category of games that had a large impact on how I perceived games but that may not be so widely acclaimed as some others on this list.

That’s a great game indeed. The narration is on point.

I was expecting to disagree with the list at some point, but I'm finding it increasingly hard to find a reason to

You could probably add E33 to that, even if it is still too early to know how much impact it will have.

I'll have to try that vsync thing when I get a new PC (laptop). I'm playing stuff on my phone or Android tablet lately

Journey

There is not a single word in the game, barely any control but the game take you through an emotional story.

It's multiplayer in a sense that you might meet another player, they can help you, you can help them or just continue on your path and despite not having any words it just fell like a genuine, pure connection with someone.

And the music is amazing.

Few games have such tight game design, story, lore, and characters blended so well into a single experience.

I don't think I even want or need a sequel.

Baldur's Gate 3 is a good game and a worthwhile experience but you can absolutely make quite a lot of very valid critiques about it.

We'll see how much is recency bias and how well it will stand the test of time, but I really think Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 will be on this list going forward. It's definitely one of the best games I've ever played, and I've played a lot of games. It's not perfect, but it's close enough in all the parts that actually matter.

Otherwise there's your usual suspects:

• Disco Elysium
• Portal
• Half-Life 2
• Bioshock 1
• Final Fantasy VI
• Chrono Trigger
• Zelda: Ocarina of Time
• The Last of Us
• Baldur's Gate 2

Cave story

UB are getting all up in my standard and pioneer formats and killing my interest for them/Magic as a whole outside of "limited" precons.

Too few promises of cake

There hasnt been yet a game that could replicate the experience I ld had when I played Planescape: Torment

I had to scroll so far to find anyone mentioning W3... Absolutely insane to me that this isn't much higher and more mentioned.

Rdr2 was the only game that I was actually emotionally tied to the characters. It was truly a masterpiece.
