Best Robot & Mech Games of All Time

Robots are combat machines that often resemble humans in the structure of their mechanical bodies. Games about robots most often tell a story set in a distant future and a world with very advanced technologies, where remotely controlled machines become the primary combat unit for humans. Androids are also considered robots, as they are their enhanced version.

Robots can also include machines that replicate not a human form, but the form of some animal. A great example is Horizon: Zero Dawn, where all the robots were robo-dinosaurs with their own intelligence.

Robots appear in almost all genres: in shooters, adventures, strategies, racing, and even fighting games. Sometimes they surpass humans in strength due to their structural features and weaponry, while at other times they are a very weak combat unit that can destroy a target through quantity rather than quality. But all these games have one distinctive feature: the science fiction genre.
