Top Successful Video Games
Currys PC World and Logitech have pulled together a report and found that not a single game in the top 50 best-selling video games of all time features a solo femme-facing protagonist.
Outrageously, the list consists of games that are either male-centric (38 percent) or games that let a player pick the protagonist’s gender (48 percent)!
While recent AAA game announcements are showing a much-needed change in the industry, the figures show just how previous big releases have arguably sidelined female gamers.
Other findings include:
- The top three biggest genres are centered around action and violence – action-adventure, shooters, and RPGs.
- The five lowest genres were arcade games, puzzle games, simulation/virtual life, miscellaneous, and driving/racing.
- Five racing games did make it onto the list, even if four of them are Mario Kart games, with the one non-MK game being Need for Speed: Most Wanted.
The top ten best-selling video games are:
- Tetris
- Minecraft
- Grand Theft Auto V
- Wii Sports
- Player Unknown’s Battleground
- Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow
- Super Mario Bros.
- Mario Kart Wii
- Wii Sports Resort
- New Super Mario Bros.

Very funny list, but thank you. I’m currently learning more about valheim because I really liked this game. But a beginner always has two options on how to get started quickly. The first is to read about valheim gameplay and various tips. The second is to figure it out

Good list, I like minecraft and any sandbox games that can provide a great solution. For example melon playground also gives a lot of freedom which I like. And also melon playground mods from the site https://melonplaygroundmods.net/ give even more flexibility
