In this simulator, the player gets to relive the last living moments of John. F Kennedy, but as the shooter who committed the infamous assassination of the president. Although the event is a touchy subject and it may come out as insensitive, the game has vast documented information about the incident and recollects much of the evidence surrounding possible theories and conspiracies, which makes it quite educational.
Players differ in opinions about how appropriate it was to create a game like this. It may seem like an unnecessary title but it’s also true that the game covers the assassination with great seriousness and does not make the crime enjoyable.
9 Kingdom Come: Deliverance – 76
Kingdom Come: Deliverance is one of the most historically accurate videogames to ever be created, and it’s set in the medieval kingdom of Bohemia. The player incarnates one of the Skalitz’s raids survivors during the war of 1403. The whole story is based on real events that happened in that conflict and it also includes historical figures like Wenceslaus IV, Sigismund of Luxemburg, and Racek Kobyla of Dvorce.
The realistic representation of events, environments, people, weapons, and clothing makes this title an exciting one for most enthusiasts about medieval times, open worlds, and history. The RPG delivers great game mechanics, beautiful visuals, and immersive atmospheres, but unfortunately, gamers commonly complain that it has a lot of bugs.
8 The Saboteur – 76
In The Saboteur, gamers get to play as a character based on William Grover-Williams, a race car driver who fought against Nazis in World War II in France. In the game, however, his name is Sean Devlin and he is an Irish race car driver that gets involved in war operations to defeat the Third Reich by sabotaging their most important missions.
The different tasks that players must complete are very entertaining given that multiple different skills are required such as shooting, driving, sneaking, and climbing, among others. Although the characters can come off as stereotypical, they achieve a great ambiance of the French resistance, and the black and white visuals that appear when players enter areas occupied by Nazis add to the overall symbolism.
7 Valiant Hearts: The Great War – 77
The puzzle adventure available on Xbox, Valiant Hearts: The Great War is based on World War I and follows the story of multiple characters who try to help a soldier find his love. The historical elements of the game are truly outstanding and capture the horrors of war faithfully, but more than focusing on the military aspects of it, the game touches on themes regarding love and bonding between people in tragedy.
War-based games can be fun, but most of them reduce the conflicts to shooting and killing. Although there’s nothing wrong with it, it is definitely appreciated that a game like Valiant Hearts: The Great War takes the time to recover the humanity behind the hurtful and devastating stories of warfare.
6 That Dragon, Cancer – 78
The 2016 adventure game The Dragon, Cancer tells the true story of two parents who face the tragedy of their four-year-old son’s terminal cancer. The player goes through the family’s most complex scenarios to interact with multiple objects that offer fragments of Ryan and Amy Green’s thoughts and memories of the tragedy.
Because of its very intimate nature, it feels almost inadequate to rate a game like this, as it is more directed to storytelling and to be a piece of art, than it is focused on having effective gameplay. The player is trusted with the most devastating and moving aspects of loss, hope, and love. Therefore, a box of tissues is recommended to be within reach, as it is considered one of the top video games that will make any player cry.
5 1979 Revolution: Black Friday – 80
1979 Revolution: Black Friday follows the story of Reza Shirazi in the Iranian Revolution. As an aspiring photojournalist, Reza has to take pictures of the events happening, but also make different decisions that drives the player to interact with its characters and surroundings.
The game’s historical accuracy, access to real documented information about the revolution, realistic recreation of specific events, and complex characters make this title one of a kind. The game narrative is truly outstanding and encapsulates effectively the three-dimensionality of the Iranian Revolution. There’s no such thing as a black and white conflict, and iNK Stories knew how to embrace that statement into every dialogue, action, and depiction.
4 Assassin’s Creed III – 80
All Assassin’s Creed games have many accurate real-life references, characters, and places, among other characteristics, but the fifth game of the franchise is the one that best depicts an actual historical event: the American Revolution. Although the main plot is fictional, everything else that it is based on is quite real.
The realistic depictions of the American conflict provide the game with a very effective atmosphere that immerses players into that time of history. Like other titles of the franchise, the game has a lot of playable content and other plot elements that make the whole experience fun and educational. Although it is debatable if it is the best game of the Assassin’s Creed series, it is definitely one of the most memorable.
3 This War of Mine – 83
“For soldiers, war is about victory. For us, it was about getting food” says one of the characters of This War Of Mine at the opening of the game’s trailer, and resumes perfectly the disturbing and sad angle taken upon the traces of war in a game that follows a group of civilians who are trying to survive in a besieged city.
The story is based on the country of Bosnia during the Siege of Sarajevo, and it profoundly captures the difficulties of facing disease, hunger, and death during periods of war. In a very unprecedented manner, This War of Mine takes the protagonist out of the battlefields and focuses on the sufferings of average people. The atmospheres are dark and depict effectively the inevitable horrors of such tragedy. Overall, the game achieves transcendental depth and an extremely moving experience.
2 Brothers In Arms: Road To Hill 30 – 87
World War II is depicted in plenty of games, but it is a common opinion between players and game critics that Brothers In Arms: Road To Hill 30 is the best one to touch on the matter. It is based on the true story of the U.S airborne landings in Normandy and it follows Sgt. Matt Baker (inspired by real-life sergeant Harrison Summers) and his squad.
Military tactics, commands, and fights feel impressively real due to the arduous investigation made by Gearbox Software of the true historical events. The gaming experience is as authentic as it gets, and details like dirt covering the soldier’s vision, realistic sound effects, and the probability of being easily killed transport any player to the real-life battlefield.
1 L.A. Noire – 89
L.A. Noire follows the story of detective Cole Phelps and it is set in Los Angeles in 1947. The chaotic year in L.A. was one of the most violent in the history of the United States, and it didn’t help much that the cruelties of World War II were knocking on everyone’s doors. The player must investigate and resolve multiple murder crime scenes, in which some true-life cases must be addressed.
Solving the real murder of Jeanne French, better known as the Black Dahlia, is among the most exciting and intriguing missions to play. Other real-life places and references as well as the compelling storylines turn the game into a captivating and plausible experience that revives all the thrilling aspects of the best noir films of all time.
