The Most Historically Accurate Video Games Ever Made Ranked

In the Red Dead Redemption franchise, nearly every character could be considered "bad" in some way. Living a criminal lifestyle, many of these people are, at least indirectly, involved in crimes such as robbery, extortion, and murder. For a character to have found redemption in the context of this world, they must have made choices that meaningfully changed their life for the better, such as leaving the outlaw life or putting the gang before themsel


Javier's role in Red Dead Redemption is again similar to Williamson, although in Escuela's case he now works for the Mexican Government . When facing his own capture (or possible death) at the hands of John, his last ditch effort for freedom is to offer to give both Williamson and Dutch's locations to John. Considering these are the same people that he sided with years prior, it demonstrates that Javier would sell out anyone if it meant he could survive. Since Javier remained selfish throughout his life, he was never able to find redempt


There aren't many great Western games out there, so fans of the genre should definitely check out the Red Dead Redemption series. The second game serves as a prequel, and its in-depth mechanics are an absolute joy to experie

If the player returns as John Marston, he can find the painting of the Strange Man fill out over a course of days, ultimately resulting in the Strange Man appearing in the mirror behind John but disappearing before John can turn around. Later, you can also find a painting of the Strange Man at Herbert Moon's shop in Armadillo. You can also see how terrible a toll that the cholera outbreak has taken on Armadillo, as a mass pyre of bodies is burning in the town's main street.


Pharaoh was one of the many isometric city-building games to be released on PC in the '90s. The game takes players to Ancient Egypt and lets them create their own city while also managing factors like citizen employment, natural disasters, and dise


A Plague Tale features two games with great stories and heart-pounding gameplay. The focus on stealth makes for a tense experience set during the time of the Black Plague in 14th-century France . Amicia and Hugo are two great characters who share a heartwarming relationship in a world where the majority of its residents want them d


It's a shame that the game has switched developers, with Black Matter selling the game to Team17. The fan reception to this new studio's changes to the game was met with negative fan reception across the board. However, there's no denying that Hell Let Loose is still a great game despite its recent controversies. Conducting a coordinated assault and overwhelming the enemy in a realistic manner makes for a truly exhilarating time that captures real-life warfare as accurately as possi

This mission finds Arthur Morgan helping a Dr. Frankenstein-like mad scientist build a robot. It starts with Arthur helping a man named Marko Dragic show off his remote-controlled boat by using it to destroy targets on a pond. Arthur later finds Dragic's laboratory and helps him use lightning rods to inject life into a robotic automaton he's built. Ultimately, Dragic's experiments succeed, but the robot kills Dragic and escapes to the Grizzlies mountain range.


The downside to being Arthur, however, is that those minute details are only fun to play through if the player wants a realistic depiction of the Old West . If they just want to cheat at poker, break horses, and put holes in people then they'll have to trudge through 10-15 minutes of excess time before anything interesting happens. Other systems, like Arthur's various cores, make it difficult to maintain these activities for extended periods of time. Keeping Arthur's cores up means participating in other, much slower activities (like hunting and crafting) that detract from the intense, cinematic violence many cowboy fans crave. Ironically in this case, more content means less fun for some play

It's not such a steep price when you can end up with $1000 from the gold bars that you can find using the map. The gold bars can give you enough funds to upgrade your camp.


Historical accuracy isn'tnusually associated with the video gaming industry. Many developers play fast and loose with factual accuracy in favor of creating an enjoyable playing experience. However, this started to change when the gaming industry became a leading form of media. Many gamers began showing interest in developers implementing education into their games, making their guilty pleasure hobby feel significantly less gui
