Recently, the gaming website "Acclaimed Video Games" compiled more than 900 "Best Video Games" lists to determine the most critically acclaimed games of all time. These lists come from a variety of sources, including IGN, Bloomberg, and various foreign game websites. And come from different countries, covering categories such as best of all time, best of the year and best on each platform.

The site says this is not a "best games of all time" list, saying it is more of a "most critically acclaimed games of all time" list. It points out that game critics are imperfect people working in an imperfect industry, and that their tastes are inextricably tied to factors like their worldview, historical context, and what space they think video games should occupy within the broader cultural landscape.
The top 10 on the list are as follows:
1. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (2017)
2. Tetris (1985)
3. The Last of Us (2013)
4. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998)
5. Half-Life 2 (2004)
6. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (2015)
7. Super Mario 64 (1996)
8. Resident Evil 4 (2005)
9. The Legend of Zelda: Aspect of the Gods (1991)
10. Super Mario World (1990)
In addition, games such as "Give Him Love 5", "Elden's Ring", "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim", "Red Dead Redemption 1/2", "Portal", and "Dark Soul" are all in the top 50 on the list.
