  • Video games have offered up some amazing cities over the years. From vibrant, futuristic metropolises to dingy, backwater burgs, these places can act as safe havens, or could be more dangerous than the wilderness that surrounds them, and for this video, we've decided to celebrate some of the best. From Mass Effect's Citadel to Baldur's Gate here are the 10 Coolest Cities in Video Games.

    I think Bioshock Infinite's Columbia should have shared #1 spot alongside Rapture. Not only are they closely tied together lore wise, they are the ying and the yang, completely opposite in design and function (one being a dark and underwater city and the other being an airborne wonderland) but equally beautiful

    I have to add Arx to the list. I'm playing through DOS2 right now and the city feels so real and alive, it's a real joy to explore. As nice as Night City is, there's something to be said for games where the city is only a small part of the whole map. So yeah, Novigrad was an obvious first choice, and Saint Denis definitely deserves a mention as well.

    Sumaru City from Persona 2. Just a wild city where just about anything seems to be able to happen, and thats before rumors start to become real.
    There is also The City from Project Moon's various games which perhaps takes the cake as the city you absolutley don't want to live in.

    I personally much prefer the sort of steampunk pig city called Hamelin in Ni No Kuni 1 to Goldpaw. It has phenomenal art design due to Ghibli's direct involvement, and the music is sooooo much better. After about five minutes in Goldpaw I want to shove wax in my ear canals. Cool design, but Hamelin is *chef's kiss*
    Gravity Rush has two of the best cities hands down though, 100% agree with that one. Zipping around as Kat never gets old, those games deserve way more attention than they get. That being said, she was in Playstation All Stars years ago and does get some amount of promotion from Sony as a character.

    Tokyo in anything smt or persona is always good too
    Denerim from dragon age origins (Kirkwall is pretty good too)
    Goldenrod celadon virbank and nimbasa from Pokémon are great
    Rome and Florence from the assassins creed 2s
    Vice city and los santos (san Andreas)

    Kingdoms are probably considered different than cities, and will most likely get their own list. (Although Triple Jump may have done it already. If so, thanks in advance!) That being said, I would have suggested Zeal from "Chrono Trigger," except that it's technically a kingdom, and not a city.

    5 cities that come to my mind:
    Luca - Final Fantasy X: The only technologically advanced safe place in the world that isn't ruled by corruption, giant Blitzball stadium, giant music and arts theatre. Alternatively, Guadosalam once certain politicians are no longer involved. The city's not great, but it has a literal doorway to the closest thing the world has to seeing your loved ones in heaven.
    Driftveil City - Pokemon Black 2/White 2: Live Pokemon battles from competitors all over the world. A Pokemon gym. Local historic ruins. One road away from a city that's exclusively the best parts of Manhattan (Nimbasa). One road away from a special magnetic cave that's practically a world wonder (Chargestone). One of the most beloved city theme music tracks in the entire series.
    Waral - Shining Force: An atoll of livable islands that also has a mermaid city below that, and a historic glowing cave of mysteries below that. And the king is fun and has a sense of humor.
    Any amusement themed zone - Sonic the Hedgehog: Take your pick of Aquarium Park, Toy Kingdom, Music Plant, Eggmanland, any of the casino zones... If you can pus aside the logistical and ethical issues of Eggman getting his way, it's nonstop fun (mostly for him). Alternatively, Angel Island has Carnival Night zone, but also Hydro City, Marble Gardens, etc.
    Literally anywhere - Wipeout/F-Zero: Futuristic cities with anti-gravity racing league tracks built into them. Some of which are on the moon or other planets.
