Empire Top 100 Video Games Results

Posted on June 20, 2023 at 23:23 PM BST

The results of the Empire top 100 video games of all time, as voted by fans, have finally been shared.

Despite facing tough competition and a modern gaming mindset, Shenmue achieved a very respectable #41. We consider this a significant accomplishment. While we had hoped for a Top 10 placement, looking at the list of games that Shenmue surpassed demonstrates its enduring appeal.

You can view the full list of 100 games here: https://www.empireonline.com/gaming/features/100-best-video-games/?fbclid=IwAR0PI7XHt6PrtaIBV9dL-cGJu_xApepMN2Ck0oTzX3PJK1ODFfwujE2UGoA

Matt also discussed the results in his latest video here:

Does it get any more nostalgic than this? ✨ Even after a quarter of a century, this neighbourhood still feels like like a second home to us. It always will. 💙

Anyone else grabbing some food after work tonight, Shenmue fans? 🍜 After grinding through this week, you deserve to blow off some steam with a friend and let someone else cook for you!

🇯🇵 "Shenmue" was so atmospheric for its time. I love just walking through the city on a rainy evening.

Neon signs, vending machines and 1980s Showa-era streets. A perfect blend of nostalgia and belonging.
