I'm interested to get opinions on this. What do you all consider, if you had to pick one, to be the greatest video game of all time? This could be due to how amazing the game is, it's impact on both video game culture and society, and/or any other reason why you feel it's the best. Also, feel free to bring up your personal favourite game as well if the two answers are different.
For me, personally, I would most likely give it to Super Mario Galaxy. The soundtrack, game mechanics, and influence it had on video game culture is unprecedented and also set a new bar for Nintendo's expectancy as a game developing company. This game is absolutely phenomenal regardless of how many playthroughs of the game I do. Koji Kondo is the composer of the soundtrack and I consider it to be one of the best OST's in a game ever. In terms of it's success to the public, it won game of the year in 2007 from IGN, GameSpot, Kotaku, and many more. It continued to win many awards in the following years and ended up being ranked the best Wii game by IGN. It was also named by Eurogamer and IGN as the "Game of the Generation".
My personal favourite game however is Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky as I feel as if the art style, game mechanics, and storyline made it a magical experience for me during every playthrough. It was one of the few games to make me sob at the end of it, and has created a lasting impact on me that I'll cherish forever.
What do you guys think? I'm excited to hear everyone's idea of the best game of all time and their own favourite game.
