Discover the five best realistic games that perfectly capture the feeling of living in the real world with their gameplay.
Realism in games has heavily divided the gaming community. On one hand, many players appreciate seeing realistic elements in games that work exactly like the real world. However, some players claim that being overly realistic takes away from the fun of games.
Regardless, realistic games are still a niche that is enjoyed by many. If you are looking for games that perfectly emulate the real world, then here are the five best realistic games out right now.
1. Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is easily the best example of realism in a video game. It has dedicated hunger, sleep, and cleanliness mechanics that players have to regularly engage with. Henry will get hungry if he exerts a lot of energy, but players must be careful not to overeat. Additionally, if Henry gets dirty, then the NPCs will comment on him being smelly.
Additionally, being a criminal also has consequences, and NPCs will remember you for a while if they see you committing a crime.
2. Red Dead Redemption 2
Red Dead Redemption 2 is another game that took realism in video games to the next level. While the hunger and sleep mechanics aren’t as extreme as in Kingdom Come Deliverance, players still have to take care of their cleanliness. Additionally, taking regular care of your weapons via repairs is also imperative. Players also have to regularly feed and clean their horses in order to keep them healthy and able.
The game’s visuals and characters also help make it feel alive, further adding to the realism.
3. Ghost of Tsushima
While Ghost of Tsushima does not have any dedicated realism mechanics, the visuals and setting more than make up for it. The game is set during the Mongol invasion of Tsushima Island and features many historical characters. Additionally, the graphics and art direction in this game are simply unparalleled. It’s easy to get lost inside this world because of how beautiful it looks.
Sucker Punch Productions did a great job bringing Japan to life in this game. The game’s realism is further amplified by adding characters that are well-written and have depth.
4. Grand Theft Auto V
In Grand Theft Auto V, players get to explore a lifelike recreation of Los Angeles called Los Santos. Los Santos is full of gorgeous skyscrapers and vibrant houses. Additionally, it gives players the freedom to do almost anything they’d like. From being a good Samaritan to becoming a full-fledged criminal, anything is possible in this game.
The game’s main story also has characters that are brilliantly voiced, alongside being well-written. All of these factors make the world of Grand Theft Auto V feel alive and realistic.
5. Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 offers a realistic view of what the distant future could be like with how fast technology is advancing. Alongside this, the game offers the player different choices in dialogue that can drastically affect the outcome of the story. As the smallest decision can drastically alter the game’s world and characters, this makes Cyberpunk one of the most realistic games out there.
Additionally, as Cyberpunk 2077 is a CD Projekt Red game, it is guaranteed to have some of the best side quests in video game history.
