War is a very serious topic. When a war hits a country the overall morale gets reduced, which causes all kinds of things that I would prefer not to think about. War ruins and changes lives forever, that is ... if you are lucky enough to survive.

Unfortunately, not all video games take war seriously, including many on this list. That's why I wanted to start off with this intro. While many of these games can be fun, please don't think that war is fun. Some of these games actually glorify war... when we should be afraid of it.

Please note that games four and five on this list take the concept of war very seriously as they show the dark truth about war. I personally vouch for This War of Mine as it touches upon all kinds of serious topics that come along with war.

This series is beautifully done. The graphics are mesmerizing and the story is phenomenal.

You play as a powerful demi-god and are able to take on several foes at once, but beware of gods.

The whole series is very popular and all of them are about war. However, for the purpose of this article, we will focus on Call of Duty WWII.

If you can forgive EA games for all the unnecessary and expensive add-ons ... then it is a good game.

While other games might glorify war, this game shows the true outcome. In this game you don't play as a soldier ... you play as an average citizen trapped in an area cut off by war.

A true game to pull on your heart strings.

I highly recommend trying this game!

I have to admit, seeing that symbol on his mask really bothers me.

While it touches upon serious topics about war ... it's actually a really funny game.

A true classic.

If you haven't heard of it yet, which I'm sure you have, it's an extremely popular game. You play a "battle royale" style game. In other words, the last player standing wins.

Only some parts of the game involve war, but it certainly is an amazing game!

Thank you!

About the Author

Yes, I realize I have the same name as an amateur sleuth. No, I haven’t read the books … although I have played most of the Nancy Drew games. I am simply someone who is addicted to writing. In the day I work as a photographer and waitress … but at night I write blogs for everyone to enjoy. Does that make me a superhero? … probably not … but I can dream, right?

The truth is, I have been writing my whole life and I don’t think I could ever stop. Sometimes my writing gets real and I have been told by a couple of people that I have actually helped them before. Other times I just write about the Top Ten of something, which can be really fun to write!

My personal interests include eating pizza, playing video games and cuddling with my dog. I have only recently started playing FPS games, but I have a long history in PC games. When it comes to video games, I’m quite the hipster. I like popular Indie games and love video games that almost no one had ever heard of.
