Most games today have mechanisms to determine if you have won, or at least have some sort of ending. However, this is not always the case, folks. There are quite a few games, especially older ones, that simply let you play until you run out of lives or lose… patience. Still, the experience of playing is more important than the ending, and here are the top 9 amazing games that can’t be “beaten.”
7 Days To Die
There are many 3D games designed in an open-world style for you to explore, but 7 Days To Die is quite a unique game. Similar to Minecraft, you will live in a vast environment with the goal of survival and exploration. The difference is that you need to prepare very carefully; a small mistake could mean your end.
What makes 7 Days To Die stand out from the rest is the theme it draws inspiration from. You will be immersed in a post-apocalyptic setting after a zombie outbreak. At the same time, players face a significant threat known as Blood Moon. Every 7 days, you will be hunted by a horde of zombies until dawn. Basically, the game never really ends; how you define “beating” this game is up to you: it could be surviving for a certain number of days, unlocking everything, or building a perfect fortress to fend off the zombies.
Cookie Clicker
Cookie Clicker is the first clicker game and the predecessor of the idle game genre. This game is very simple; you just click on the cookie to get more cookies, and then use them to upgrade various things to get even more cookies.
Upgrades range from simple (adding clicks, increasing output) to very bizarre, such as… adding more grandmas to bake cookies without clicking. This game does not have a “beating” aspect, and one of the final things you can do is restart with some upgrades already unlocked. Essentially, you start clicking again, but this time it’s faster.
Tetris
Tetris is a legendary game that has been around since the dawn of video games, thriving through many eras and existing to this day thanks to its simple yet incredibly engaging puzzle gameplay. Although the gameplay has not changed over the years, the game is constantly updated with new visuals and effects to make it more appealing to gamers, ensuring its timelessness.
One of the most special aspects of this game is that you cannot beat it. The game starts off easy, and with each level, it speeds up. By around level 29, it becomes too fast for most people’s reflexes, and it can get even faster, making it impossible for anyone to play. Therefore, Tetris is fundamentally a game with infinitely increasing difficulty, and if you want to “beat” it, you might as well forget it.
EVE Online
EVE Online is one of the best and longest-lasting MMORPGs today. The game puts you in the role of a space traveler. You can choose from many play styles, from legal activities like mining, trading, and exploring to illegal activities like space piracy or dabbling in a bit of everything.
This game has no ending, so you could play for 1000 years and still not beat it. It offers endless space adventures, allowing players to get rich if they are not afraid of the risks of being destroyed or deceived by bad players. Of course, you can also become the villain if you are strong enough (and, of course, sufficiently evil).
The Sims Series
The Sims games are essentially a place where people immerse themselves in virtual life. As you may know, life never really ends, so you could play until you grow old and still not beat the game.
There are many fun things you can experience in The Sims, such as business, partying, getting married, having children, and joking around with friends… and so on and so forth. The only ending you won’t see is the game’s conclusion. Additionally, if you are unsure what to do in the game, it also offers some pre-made scenarios for you.
Above are the top 9 amazing games that can’t be “beaten.” I hope this article has provided some reasonable suggestions for you to enjoy great moments of entertainment.
