Top 10 Time Travel Video Games


time to tackle a topic that’s banned in
China and loved by Rebecca even if she
doesn’t play games then scram
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
10
time travel video games a fun trip down
memory lane captain for this list we
picked games where the ability to travel
through time is either a major gameplay
mechanic or a crucial part of the game’s
plot or story so games that bring in a
last-minute time-traveling element such
as earthbound or BioShock Infinite
spoiler alert are out and finally all
together now one per franchise this is
the first time I’ve ever tried it on
people to play the WatchMojo drinking
game take a sip every time we say the
word time I like you you’re my new best
friend number 10
singularity you must use it to go back
to 1955 and stop damage head from
killing beerus or when captain Nathaniel
Ranko inadvertently goes back to 1955
and saves nikolai timoshev who goes on
to take over the world
Rinku must use his time manipulation to
defeat the mad Russian to fix one hell
of a screw up I think you’ll find that
impossible for a number of reasons our
embassy right now by using the time
manipulation device Renko can alter the
time of specific things like restoring
ancient and old objects to brand new or
even reducing people to nothing but dust
Franco time is literally on his side for
all our sakes I hope you got the TMD
number 9 braid
at a glance you might pass this off as a
Mario ripoff and while the plot
involving a princess who is kidnapped by
an evil monster sure supports that claim
tim’s ability to wind back time is what
sets braid apart from the Plumber
platformer what’s interesting about this
game’s time-traveling feature is that
the rules of time-travel change in each
world
one moment time will only go forward and
backwards when you move forward or
backwards then later you can travel back
and see your past self help you with
certain puzzles number eight Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles turtles in time
Holden
the evil shredder has stolen the Statue
of Liberty so it’s up to our favorite
teenage reptile ninjas to stop him and
get it back no in this classic arcade
beat em up as the title would imply the
turtles battle the evil foot plant
across various periods like the
prehistoric Jurassic the Wild West and
the distant future just to name a few
the battles won’t be easy but the
turtles always manage to pull through
yeah look lunga number eight Ratchet &
Clank future a crack in time Ratchet and
Clank are back and using the power of
time to defeat their enemies
Clank wields the chrono scepter which
allows him to alter time around him and
fight his enemies by changing the time
around – clanks advantage
with this new power and proper team work
Ratchet and Clank must fight to stop dr.
nefarious from ruining the great clock
which balances all time in the universe
it’s time to gear up because the fate of
the universe is on the line here number
6 Back to the Future the game hates Rexy
look over there
why time travel and Marty McFly seemed
to go hand in hand
and in this telltale games
point-and-click episodic series which
takes place after the movie trilogy
Marty has to go back to Prohibition era
hill valley to rescue Doc Brown voiced
by Christopher Lloyd and ARB a fine who
will be killed if Marty doesn’t
intervene I’m Scott
I’m gonna be gunned down like gangsters
on the steps of the court hug along the
way Marty will meet a variety of
interesting characters like his
grandparents the sister of his high
school principal and bifs father who
just so happens to be a mafia boss make
like a tree and die right cheer up Marty
maybe things won’t be so bad this time
just kidding it’s gonna be bonkers geez
we’ve been back together for five
minutes doc you’re already talking about
the end of the universe I’ve missed that
number five day of the tentacle the
father of our nation is cold better
build the fire the title of the game
alone should warrant to look but
thankfully the rest of the actual game
lives up to it when an evil purple
tentacle with a mind for world
domination is born from toxic waste
Bernard and his friends are sent back in
time to stop the tentacle he says that
purple tentacles mutated into an insane
genius when the time machine breaks and
leaves the characters stranded in
different time periods the heroes must
interact with their environments and
famous characters within them to help
each other in their various time periods
return home and stop the purple menace
now richer I must decide what
excruciating tortures to
leave them to me number four
timesplitters 2 considered a spiritual
successor to Goldeneye timesplitters
sees aliens using time travel to take
over the earth by ruining the planets
past and you’ve got to stop him
sergeant Cortez must journey to various
places in time like 2019 Neo Tokyo yeah
we see what you did there
19th century Notre Dame and the good old
Wild West to just name a few
Cortez must take back the time crystals
and save his world’s future from the
aliens that plagued it number 3 prince
of persia the sands of time trust not a
man who has betrayed his master not take
him into your own service lest he betray
you too when the people of the kingdom
of Azad are turned into horrible
creatures by the sands of time it’s up
to the unnamed Prince of Persia to save
his kingdom
using the dagger of time Sam
with the dagger the prince can alter
time in various ways such as reversing
it to make up for failures in the
platforming challenges stopping time to
avoid hazards and obstacles and many
other things between the wicked rewind
mechanics and the never-before-seen
parkour system this was one hell of a
boy time
number 2 The Legend of Zelda Majora’s
Mask Link is certainly no stranger to
time travel with four of his games
utilizing the trope but we went with
Majora’s Mask as it makes the best use
of the concept essentially an
apocalyptic Groundhog Day on steroids by
using his ocarina Linc can relive the
same three days again and again to
ensure that he has enough time to save
the land of termina from the falling
moon
he can also help others by altering
their fates through trial and error by
doing things as varied as stopping a
girl from being abducted by aliens to
helping out a young couple that are in
love
before we reveal our number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions
let me music and unless you’ve been
trapped in some kind of you know number
one Chrono Trigger a timeless epic
unfold intended that was worthy enough
to make our top ten games of all time
list Chrono Trigger starts off
innocently enough with a time-traveling
accident before your party realizes
their future is wrought with despair
after an interstellar parasite has
devastated the planet
on top of all that the parasites
evolution is linked to their world’s
biggest moments in history with a
memorable cast multiple endings and an
amazing soundtrack this RPG is one that
will stand the test of time that’s the
last one if anything else was number one
on this list it would be video game
heresy
