About this gallery:

For this list, we decided to focus on video games from the last 10 years, picking out some quotes that have totally stuck in our heads—whether it's because they're deep and perfectly delivered, or just ridiculously meme-worthy.

Remember, narrowing it down to a top 20 is tough! We could easily make a list with hundreds of quotes, but if you think we missed a crucial one, why not drop it in the comments? | © Rockstar Games

They got Alex

20. "They got Alex." The Division 2 (2019) – Random Rioter

This quote is infamous for the sheer number of times it's repeated in The Division 2. Every time you take down an enemy, a rioter dramatically yells, "They got Alex!"—and you can’t help but wonder, just how many people called Alex are there? It’s both hilarious and confusing, turning a simple death notification into a running gag. Poor Alex, always the victim! | © Ubisoft

Forspoken

19. "Gotta find Homer first." Forspoken (2023) – Frey

In a world of magic, danger, and life-or-death situations, what’s Frey’s top priority? Finding her cat, Homer, of course! But the real kicker here is that she says this after turning down a literal pile of money. Sure, cash is nice, but when it comes to furry friends, Frey’s got her priorities hilariously skewed. | © Square Enix

Life and death balance on the edge of my blade

18. "Life and death balance on the edge of my blade." Overwatch (2016) – Genji

Leave it to Genji to make combat sound like the most poetic and epic thing ever. With this line, he’s not just slicing and dicing—he’s delivering a philosophy lesson. And honestly, if life and death truly do balance on the edge of his blade, he’s doing a pretty solid job keeping us alive! | © Blizzard Entertainment

Cropped Like Mario and Princess Beach

17. "Like Mario and Princess Beach." Death Stranding (2019) – Amelie

In a heartfelt moment between Amelie and Sam, Amelie makes a gaming reference that should’ve been spot on—but instead, she hilariously fumbles it, comparing them to “Mario and Princess Beach.” Yes, “Beach.” It’s such an innocent mistake that you almost forget the apocalyptic world they're in. And hey, even the most serious characters deserve a little comic relief! | © Kojima Productions

Cropped I Will Not Be Captive To Another Mans Gaudy Design

16. "I will not be captive to another man's gaudy design. My destiny is mine to weave." Assassin's Creed Valhalla (2020) – Eivor

Eivor has zero patience for other people’s elaborate plans, and honestly, we respect that. In a world full of power struggles and plotting, Eivor's all about charting her own course. This quote screams independence, and if we learned anything from Assassin's Creed, it’s that destiny is something you fight for. | © Ubisoft

I Am Not Your Son

15. "I am not your son. I am the ghost." Ghost of Tsushima (2020) – Jin Sakai

Jin's dramatic proclamation is the ultimate declaration of independence. It’s a mic-drop moment, telling the world (and his uncle) that he’s no longer bound by old rules. He’s evolved into something far more dangerous—a legend. And when you’re the Ghost, you don’t take orders. | © Sony Interactive Entertainment

Cropped God Will Not Let You Take Me

14. "God will not let you take me." Far Cry 5 (2018) – Joseph Seed

When Joseph Seed utters these words, you know things are about to get real. This quote comes loaded with the kind of conviction that only a video game villain could muster. Say what you will about Seed, but the guy’s got unwavering faith—maybe too much of it. | © Ubisoft

Cropped Its enough

13. "It's enough." Halo Infinite (2021) – Master Chief

Master Chief’s minimalism here packs a punch. In a world of galaxy-spanning conflicts and epic battles, sometimes all you need is a moment of quiet confidence. This quote may be short, but it perfectly sums up the Chief’s calm under pressure. Just enough—nothing more, nothing less. | © Xbox Game Studios

Cropped We are all monsters

12. "We are all monsters. But there’s a time when you can choose to stop being one." The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (2015) – Geralt of Rivia

Geralt drops this truth bomb while navigating the moral grayness that defines his world. It’s a powerful reflection on the choices that shape us. Sure, we all have a bit of a monster inside, but what counts is when we decide to put the sword down. Classic Geralt, always making us think. | © CD Projekt

If Im To Choose Between One Evil And Another Id Rather Not Choose At All

11. "If I'm to choose between one evil and another, I'd rather not choose at all." The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (2015) – Geralt of Rivia

Geralt’s all about avoiding unnecessary drama, and this line proves it. Why choose between evils when you can walk away from both? It’s the kind of practical wisdom we could all use in our daily lives. When in doubt, just don’t pick either evil. Problem solved! | © CD Projekt

Cropped I Was Supposed To Die In That Hospital

10. "I was supposed to die in that hospital." The Last of Us Part II (2020) – Ellie

The weight of her survivor’s guilt is palpable, making this line one of the most emotional moments in gaming. It’s a gut-punch reminder that some scars never heal. | © Sony Interactive Entertainment

Cropped Home is not

9. "Home is not where you live, but who cares when you're gone." Hades (2020) – Zagreus

Zagreus, ever the philosopher, knows that home isn’t just about walls and furniture. But really, when you’re dealing with gods and the Underworld, who has time to think about where you live? It’s a thought-provoking quote that reminds us home is about people, not places. | © Supergiant Games

I gave you all I had I did

8. "I gave you all I had. I did." Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018) – Arthur Morgan

Arthur’s bittersweet confession is the essence of his tragic story. This quote is filled with a lifetime of regret, loyalty, and sacrifice. It’s one of those moments that makes you want to give Arthur a big hug—but also reminds you that sometimes, doing your best just isn’t enough. | © Rockstar Games

Cropped You Forget A Thousand Things Every Day Pal

7. "You forget a thousand things every day, pal. Make sure this is one of 'em." Grand Theft Auto V (2013) – Michael De Santa

Michael’s casual threat in GTA V is so slick, it almost sounds like good advice. He’s not just a criminal mastermind; he’s got the charisma to make you want to forget about the crimes he’s committed. Smooth talk and danger—Michael’s the full package. | © Rockstar Games

Cropped But I did kidnap his wife

6. "But I did kidnap his wife!" Grand Theft Auto V (2013) – Trevor Phillips

In typical Trevor fashion, he drops this line with all the subtlety of a wrecking ball. His nonchalant attitude toward crime is equal parts hilarious and terrifying. You’ve got to hand it to Trevor—he’s nothing if not brutally honest about his misdeeds. | © Rockstar Games

What does that make me

5. "What does that make me? God of Fools!" God of War: Ragnarok (2022) – Kratos

Kratos is all about dishing out wisdom these days, but this line shows he’s still got some self-reflection going on. If being the God of War wasn’t complicated enough, now he’s contemplating his own foolishness. It’s nice to know even gods have their off days, right? | © Sony Interactive Entertainment

Cropped Put this foolish ambitions to rest

Margit’s line isn’t just a taunt—it’s a reminder that you’ve bitten off more than you can chew (at least the first time around). It’s a brutal but honest wake-up call, signaling that maybe your ambition was, indeed, a little too foolish. Don’t worry, though—every failure is a lesson in Elden Ring. | © Bandai Namco Entertainment

Keanu Reeves’ iconic line sets the tone for Cyberpunk 2077. It’s a call to action that no one can ignore—especially when you’ve got Johnny Silverhand on your side. The world may be falling apart, but at least we’ve got a rebellious, leather-clad ghost leading the charge. | © CD Projekt

Kratos’ monosyllabic parenting style has become legendary. Forget lengthy explanations or life lessons—sometimes all you need is a firm “Boy” to get the message across. Simple, effective, and filled with all the fatherly gravitas Kratos can muster. | © Sony Interactive Entertainment
