content for this list we’ll be looking
at video games that are absolutely
incredible and totally worth your time
but what you only need one playthrough
in order to capture the whole experience
oh and be on the lookout for spoilers
number 10 spec ops the line the hell is
going on your eyes are opening for the
first time ok spec ops might not be an
amazing game in terms of gameplay at
least but it’s one of the most
interesting and harrowing war stories in
the entire medium and it’s definitely
worth playing in order to experience
that aside from that though there is
little reason to return on top of the
short but gripping narrative the
multiplayer component really does
nothing to innovate or keep your
attention for long plus it’s probably
dead by now while it stories definitely
need to be experienced there’s a little
else that the game does that’s very
unique in politics it was your fault
that’s what you believe then shoot me
too
no one ever does number nine fire watch
very good Bravo Henry hey I sleep now eh
the story of fire wants twists and turns
appropriately and its mysteries plus the
relationship between the two main
characters will have you captivated
throughout it’s like a great novel but
like any great novel most of its impact
is dependent on having the story unfold
in unexpected ways so avoid spoilers if
you can’t the gameplay is very
bare-bones though so doing a replay may
prove tiresome or even boring once you
know where the story goes that looks
possible this is crazy
number eight Fahrenheit aka Indigo
Prophecy Oh David cage are you ever
gonna bridge the gap between cinema and
gaming problem is it really doesn’t
matter how good the game is though when
the entire thing is framed around a
mystery with a pretty awful plot twist
slash reveal it ends up hurting the
overall game as interesting and engaging
as the first playthrough for Indigo
Prophecy is once you know all the best
solutions and decisions there’s really
no reason to do it again unless of
course you’re a big fan of theory of a
deadman

when you laugh sanim
number seven outlast outlast was one of
2013’s biggest surprises and it is a
contender for one of the scariest and
most disturbing video games in recent
years however like most horror titles
knowing where all of the big jump scares
and set pieces are has a big effect on
your experience the story about last
doesn’t really change and aside from a
few non-essential collectables you might
have missed there are a few reasons to
return to mount massive you absolutely
do need to play and experience this
title but once the credits roll you’ve
seen all there is to see becomes a host
number 6 Abzu
developed by several members of the team
that worked on journey
Abzu is a gorgeous adventure game that
lets you control a scuba diver as they
explore the many wonders of the ocean
including caverns and ancient ruins it’s
a simple game but the visuals and
environments are so breathtaking that
playing it is an absolute must the
experience doesn’t last all that long
however as the story only takes a couple
of hours to complete and once it’s done
there’s really not a whole lot left to
do
still for its small price it’s a great
way to spend an afternoon
[Music]
number five BioShock Infinite the third
entry in the Bioshock series was a
game-changing title and a worthy
send-off for Ken Levine that said the
game’s impact is in its storytelling and
setting and once you know the final
twist and have discovered all there is
to discover the game loses a lot of that
power there are only so many ways you
can be awed by Columbia after all also
if the gameplay remains much the same as
you can easily experiment with almost a
hold of the Viggers on your first
playthrough Columbia was a gorgeous
world to get lost in but there’s not
enough to reward a second playthrough
really number four journey
[Music]
journey is undoubtedly a masterpiece and
is fondly remembered as one of the ps3’s
biggest surprises it was a highly
rewarding and emotional experience
packed with moments that inspired awe
and wonder as we explored this gorgeous
and mysterious world but sooner or later
the AH factor runs out aside from maybe
helping others with collectables there’s
little reason to go on this journey
again especially since you will never
really recapture the pure sense of
surprise and awe that you experienced
your first time around
[Music]
number three inside inside is arguably
one of the best puzzle platformers on
the market complete with an absolute
head scratcher of an ending which will
have you thinking about it for days it’s
not longer it’s also a great example of
quality over quantity the whole thing
can be completed in three hours if
you’re clever enough and say it with me
now there’s few reasons to go back once
you’ve made your way through this dark
atmospheric little indie title number 2
Ace Attorney series Capcom’s Ace
Attorney series has you take control of
a defense attorney and the gameplay
revolves around you well being a defense
attorney you try to collect evidence
talk to various parties and defend your
client in court it’s all great stuff the
first time around like LA noire the very
nature of this game pretty much limits
any form of replay as you should know
exactly what to do the second time you
play it the twists and turns are negated
once you know the outcomes no matter how
thrilling they were the first time
[Music]
number one portal series you looked good
looking good actually
are you okay are you answer that I’m
actually sure you fine there’s plenty of
time for you to recover the portal
series is one of the most popular and
acclaimed puzzle platformers of all time
mostly due to its clever level design
and engaging stories but aside from some
mod tools there really isn’t that much
to do once you’ve completed the game’s
sure co-op is fun but once you’re done
that then what is there like halt puzzle
games all the fun and sense of
satisfaction is gone once you know the
solutions despite how fresh and
inventive they may have been in the
first place that solution to a problem
is usually the easiest one and I’ll be
honest killing you is hard do you agree
