Elon Musk's Video Game Recommendations

TL;DR

Elon Musk recommends Overwatch, Hearthstone, The Last of Us, Uncharted 2, and the original Deus Ex. He argues that storytelling in video games is neglected as games have replaced the NFL, and that older games (e.g., original Deus Ex, old Mario games) had superior storytelling. The new Deus Ex is criticized for lame storytelling.

Key insights

• Blizzard (the developer of Overwatch and Hearthstone) consistently produces high-quality games.
• Hearthstone is the game Musk’s children play most frequently.
• The Last of Us is described as the best game Musk played recently, despite being a few years old.
