Especially atmosphere In well-constructed games, we can almost enter the world of that game and experience alternative or certain points of the history we know. To see this even more closely, By Atilla Kabakçıoğlu Let’s look at the main games chronologically through the chart he prepared.

WARNING: You can see “spoilers” from games.

Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey begins millions of years back. (Olds know)

In this game based on science 10 million years we go back and we can trace the stages of evolution. Although there are certain technical deficiencies in the game, the producers scientifically it manages to provide an accurate atmosphere and experience.

Although it takes place in primitive times, when you switch from Ancestors to Far Cry: Primal, you seem to have experienced a technological leap.

B.C. 10,000 There are certain non-historical factors in this production, which takes us back to the year. But you can take a look to get to know the difficulties, creatures and world of the period. On top of that, when you switch to the current Far Cry games, even the simple weapon in your hand is probably in your eyes. wonder of the world it will sound like.

We return to Ancient Greece, where civilization is now in its proper place and works on art as we are accustomed to are seen intensely.

The game that got us here Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey is happening. It is possible to see many episodes in the game that do not quite match the history. However, we can say that it conveys the Ancient Greek environment well and is historically consistent up to a point.

Although confused due to its geographical location, AC: Origins tells much later than Odyssey.

History in this game B.C. 49 shows the year. This coincides with the reign of the famous Egyptian Queen Cleopatra. You can already see him in the game.

Apart from that, although the game does not offer a perfect open world, standard people’s your life and different period your tools/weapons you can see it.

We saw Ancient Greece thanks to AC: Odyssey. Now Ryse: Son of Rome takes us back to Ancient Rome.

Actually, most of this game is because of the war in the game. outside of Rome but you can browse to see the lifestyle, atmosphere, clothes and habits of the period. an enjoyable production itself. It is worth noting that historically it is not accurate in many points.

Set in the 870s, AC: Valhalla takes players and gives them the experience of being Vikings.

Meanwhile in England We can occupy settlements, see adaptations of historical characters, and obtain certain historical information, albeit not entirely accurate. In addition, the map of the game is quite large and there are different communities in different places on this map.

both Viking You can give a chance to see both the lifestyle and the 9th century northern lifestyle. The game has a lot of non-historical things to offer other than that, but these are the subject of a broader study.

Assassin’s Creed’s first game, set in 1191 and in the Holy Land, takes place during the Third Crusades.

At the same time, the game real events transfers it to the player in a fictional world. Returning to this game in 2023 will be difficult for many, but you can take a look to see how the events are reflected.

When we come to the year 1274, Ghost of Tsushima welcomes us:

of japan by the mongols during the invasion Ghost of Tsushimais a production where you can see the values, lifestyle, nature and aesthetics of the period. In addition, even when all these historical values ​​​​are set aside, we think that it is a production that should be tasted in terms of game culture.

Then comes A Plague Tale: Innocence. So what’s the historical event here?

In the game where we can’t pay attention to the middle because of the tension of the story. to the year 1348 we are returning. Although it is difficult to focus, the conflict between the British and the French, of the 100 Years’ War shows us some of it. Apart from that, the game also provides a close look at the medieval way of life.

Going further, we find AC: Black Flag, set in 1715.

Here on the one hand piracy While we see how it rises, we can also witness the workings of life in cities. Meanwhile, different types of ships and islands do not leave us alone.

In the same century, we can see AC: Unity, which deals with the French Revolution.

Therefore in 1789 In this game, historical buildings such as Notre Dame were tried to be reflected as close to the real thing as possible. But apart from that; There are inconsistencies such as doorknobs that have not yet been invented in the period and wider-than-normal streets.

When you ignore such details AC: Unitygives a delightful perspective on the France of the period and the way of life in it.

The gem of the game world, Red Dead Redemption 2, makes it possible for you to experience the wild west lifestyle down to the last detail:

1899 You can see the effects of urbanization and witness the conflict between the locals and those who have just set foot on the island. In addition, the disappearing cowboy lifestyle and the brutality of the American lands are also reflected in a quality way.

Moreover ‘thinnest to detail until‘ we do not want our words to be our words. If you want to see it for yourself, you can check our related content from this link.

When we move to Mafia 1, where urbanization is completely settled, we see different problems.

This time, we realize that the mafia has gained power, corruption has reached its peak, racism continues and the gap in class discrimination has widened. The game, 1930s It offers a closer look at America.

GTA V, on the other hand, is the closest game to the present day on the list.

Although no exact date has been given for this production, in the year the game was released, that is. in 2013 thought to have passed. It may not seem unusual to us right now, but one day, others will find the environment of GTA 5 as strange as we find the world of Mafia 1 as strange. In this context, we can say that the game reflects today (or 2013) well, up to a point.

Now we are going to the future: In this context, Cyberpunk 2077 welcomes us with its unusual atmosphere.

In an alternate time, in 2077 and dystopian Set in a future, the game offers you an unusual atmosphere with its detailed dialogues and living open world. An eventful exit You can take a look at the game, which recovers very well despite the fact that it lives. A map with random events will be waiting for you, even outside the missions.

At game 2023 There are also times when we return to the year, but unfortunately we cannot visit the city here.

Finally, there’s Horizon Zero Dawn, which takes us to the year 3020, which we couldn’t even imagine at these times.

It is not difficult to see that nature has taken over the man-made structures in the game. But even if we don’t know what will happen next Horizon Zero Dawn The developers did not forget to stick to the originals of some famous structures.

In addition, future technological developments in a fantasy universe advanced as realistically as possible without being too exaggerated.
