Video games have long included elements from the Olympic Games. We’ve seen many amazing games come from this concept, even though some official recreations could fall short of the mark.
With the help of these games, you may pretend to be professional players and show off your abilities in a variety of sports.
The fact that so many of these Olympic video games are party games that are ideal for playing with friends or providing a more engaging single-player experience is one of their strongest features.
We’ll rate the greatest Olympic video games ever made and highlight the ones you should play in this post.
Pokemon
At first look, Pokémon appears to be rather typical—just collecting monsters? Consider a contest similar to a cowboy competition, in which competitors capture animals in front of a live audience.
To bring the animals home, rivals could employ lassos, humane traps, or the force of friendship. Rattata would be the first animal they would encounter, followed by Pidgey the bird, and finally Dratini the dragon.
No, dragons aren’t real. Alright, how about a turtle or something?
Time would be used to assess the competition, with the fastest wrestler taking first place. Despite what Pokémon games would imply, hurting or upsetting the creatures in any manner would result in automatic disqualification.
The animals won’t be forced to fight, either.
Fortnite
Fortnite would be similar to the biathlon or contemporary pentathlon, combining shooting with other talents, if it became an Olympic sport.
In the contemporary pentathlon, competitors participate in fencing, swimming, show jumping, and a combined running and shooting final round.
The target shooting portion of an event modeled after Fortnite would remain, but construction work would take the place of the other activities.
Rivals may erect a wooden fence, fire some targets, build a dry stone wall, build a steel structure, and then shoot the last set of targets. Given their practical expertise, farmers would probably do well in this competition.
Splatoon
Splatoon may go against my rule of not watching sports or esports, but it’s okay with me because it’s on the edge.
Consider how much fun it is for people to watch football and badminton combined with some artistic flair. Splatoon at the Olympics would be a straight translation of the video game, maybe with paint rollers added.
The middle portion could be a little perplexing because the two colors don’t properly cover the previous layer; however, that could be fixed with a little technical skill and fast-drying paint.
Titanfall 2
Not satisfied with standard parkour? What about wall-running competitions? I believe it would be simpler to judge running similarly to long jumping—the longest wall-run wins—even though you could just set up the Gauntlet in the heart of Paris. Titans are not required.
Mirror’s Edge
“Video Games That Would Make Great Olympic Sports” should have Mirror’s Edge since it highlights the athleticism, agility, and precision that are essential to many Olympic disciplines.
The parkour-based gameplay of the game simulates the physical skills of track and field or gymnastics by having players run, leap, and climb throughout urban settings with fluid motion and speed.
A futuristic and visually striking aspect would be added to the Olympics if Mirror’s Edge were made an official sport.
This would draw in a younger audience and present a contemporary interpretation of physical competition that integrates talent, strategy, and creative movement.
Metal Gear Solid
As physical prowess, stealth, and strategic thinking are all necessary for many Olympic activities, Metal Gear Solid would make an excellent Olympic sport.
Similar to the abilities required in sports like fencing, archery, and biathlon, players must move through challenging surroundings, outwit adversaries, and accomplish goals undetected.
The focus on strategy and accuracy in the game is a reflection of the mental and physical discipline needed to compete in the Olympics.
Its captivating storyline and exciting gameplay would also enthrall viewers, adding a new dimension of drama and excitement to the Olympic Games.
