Baseball is “America’s past time” and luckily there are plenty of video games that attempt to capture the spirit of it. You can play these few on PC right now for example.
#5 Baseball Riot
Who knew baseball could be so violent? Well, the team behind Baseball Riot did, and they wanted to present it in a fun way! Baseball Riot will put you in the role of a retired baseball player, whose old team was taken over by a nefarious corporation!
Now, with your ball and bat in hand, you’ll have to go through different levels and eliminate goons, fans, referees and more in order to get your team back!
Be smart with how you swing your bat so you can knock down so many enemies with one swing! With over 100 levels to play, you’ll have fun doing it baseball style!
#4 MLB Home Run Derby VR
For those who want a more “realistic” baseball experience, and who would even go so far as to want “it’s all really in your hands”, then MLB Home Run Derby VR is the one to try. Because, as the name suggests, this is a VR title that you can do and participate in the real home run derby!
You’ll swing the bat trying to land home runs, rack up points, and prove you’re the best hitter in the virtual game. Plus, you can set up matches with players online and battle for supremacy at all 30 MLB parks!
#3 Super Mega Baseball 3
What is that? You just want to go play a baseball game and nothing else? Ok, there are options for you on this. Super Mega Baseball 3, for example, is arguably the most “realistic” take on baseball the franchise has ever had.
Graphics have been revamped, there are online leagues you can play in, and more! Plus, with 14 different ballparks that each have a unique look for the time you’re at, you can make sure the “right setting” for your “game of the century.”
You’ll also guide your team through multiple seasons, trying to improve them with each one so you can be an eventual dynasty.
#2 Baseball Out of the Park 23
For those of you who want the “in-depth experience” that many baseball games overlook, then Out of the Park Baseball 23 is the one you’ll want to try. Because this franchise has built itself to be the most detailed baseball game/simulator ever.
We’re not just talking about playing baseball here, we’re talking about playing the game BEHIND THE GAME of baseball. That means going deeper into recruiting, training, and even scouting entirely different leagues to find the best players to put on your team.
You’ll have a lot to learn, but once you master it, you’ll have the ability to build the team of your dreams. Potentially at least.
Ok, maybe that last one was a bit “too much” for you, we get it. How about a game that’s a bit old-school in looks, but still plays like a real baseball game, looks fun?
In Super Mega Baseball: Extra Innings, you’ll have a realistic simulation of baseball while having a little fun with player models. But the gameplay is tight and responsive, so don’t let the looks fool you. Plus, you can bring in other players to play some games with you, including co-op play!
Plus, players level up during gameplay, so unleash their powers to improve!
