The 20 Most Popular Video Games Right Now
The list of popular video games and figures mentioned below have been compiled from various sources around the web, such as Ranker.
These are the 20 most popular video games right now:
20. Super Smash Bros: For Wii U
First on the list, we have an incredibly addictive beat-em-up, that’s great fun to play with your friends or family members.
Smash Bros is known as a cross-over fighting video game because, unlike regular fighting games, it features characters, titles, music and stages from several different Nintendo and third-party franchises.
The general premise of the game, like any fighting game, is to defeat your opponent using a number of different attacks and boot them out of the arena.
Super Smash Bros was developed by Bandai Namco Studios and Sora Ltd., and published by Nintendo.
If you love fighting games, and have yet to experience the magic of SSB, then definitely give this one a try if you have a Wii U.
19. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an action role-playing video game that’s the fifth instalment of the popular Elder Scrolls series.
Released worldwide in 2011, it’s available to play on Microsoft Windows, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
Set 200 years after Oblivion; the game’s main story revolves around your characters quest to find and defeat a pretty bad-ass dragon – Alduin the World-Eater.
As you can guess from his name, the dragon is destined to destroy the world, so your character has to do everything in his power to stop him.
It’s an action role-playing game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks.
To date, its sold over 30 million copies worldwide!
18. Call of Duty: Black Ops II
If first-person shooters are your thing, then Call of Duty: Black Ops II is for you.
Developed by Treyarch and published by Activision, Call of Duty: Black Ops II has sold over 24 million copies since it was released in 2012.
The game is set in two different time periods, the 1980s and 2025, and switches between the two at different periods throughout the game.
In both time periods, your character is in constant pursuit of Raul Menendez, a Nicaraguan cartel leader, and it’s up to you to find him and get the job done.
Like most first-person shooters, there’s a lot of shooting, explosions, death and graphic content… which is awesome in my book.
Check this one out for sure!
17. Spider-Man (2018)
The 2018 version of Spider-Man is pretty similar to all the other Spider-Man video games that have come before it, however this time, the plot is different and it’s presented in a third-person perspective.
The main storyline is that a super crime lord, Mr Negative, formulates a plan to seize control of New York cities criminal underworld, and threatens to release a potentially catastrophic virus.
Obviously, Spider-Man has something to say about that and, as you’re playing as Spider-Man, you’re tasked with taking out Mr.Negative and spoiling his criminal plans.
It’s well worth a go if you’re into action-adventure games.
16. The Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild
The 16th most popular video game right now is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild.
Released in 2017, this action-adventure video game was both developed and published by Nintendo and follows in line with the Zelda series.
After waking from a hundred-year hibernation, your goal, as Link, is to defeat the Calamity Gagnon before it can destroy the Kingdom of Hyrule.
You’re able to explore the open world as freely as you wish, and you’ll encounter lots of interesting side puzzles and quests throughout your journey.
This one’s definitely recommended by us. Give it a try.
15. Super Mario Odyssey
Next up we have a really cool game for the Nintendo Switch.
Super Mario Odyssey is yet another entry in the popular Super Mario series; however, on the Switch, it feels like a totally new type of game!
It follows Mario and Cappy as he travels across numerous worlds to rescue Princess Peace from his arch-nemesis, Bowser.
This type of game is known as a platform game and was developed and published by Nintendo in 2017.
Playing this on the Switch is amazing, and for some reason, you really feel immersed in the game, even if you don’t use the dock to play it on your TV.
It’s a must-play game, so try and get your hands on a copy and let us know what you think.
