While this isn't quite the open world Pokémon game I'd always hoped for, it is a great step in the right direction.
2014
An underrated horror masterpiece and perhaps the scariest game I have ever played. With genius Xenomorph AI, excellent atmosphere and faithful franchise treatment, I pray we one day see a sequel.
One of the worst games I have ever played. Absolutely inexcusable in every sense.
2010
To this day one of the finest RPGs of all time where your choices and actions genuinely feel like they matter. Alongside one of the most memorable casts in all of gaming history, the story of ME2 culminates in perhaps the best final mission I've ever played.
2017
A poor excuse for a game with nonsensical puzzles and horrendous AI. Not to mention its graphical style, which is so ugly I couldn't wait to switch it off every time.
2019
Much like the game it is based on, Secret Neighbor is baffling, boring and bad.
Without the tedious tank sections this game would stand alongside its predecessors.
2002
While this game might not technically be the best by any measure, it features such an intriguing and bizarre world/story that it is impossible to forget.
Every time I go back and play Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, it holds up beautifully.
Ahead of its time in terms of open world level design, it features super satisfying exploration alongside great combat and movement mechanics. Packed with personality, the characters, story and enemies are a joy to experience every single time. All of this is presented with colorful, cartoony graphics and set to a memorable soundtrack.

Cinematic in every sense, Red Dead Redemption 2 stays with me long after I put the controller down.
2011
What can be said about Dark Souls that hasn't already? Every time I go back I am sucked in by the timeless combat and intricately designed world. Praise the sun!
2016
A return to form for the franchise after the stumble with Dark Souls 2, this is the perfect end to the series with the finest bosses that From Software has ever designed. When that final boss music plays, the goosebumps and emotions always hit harder than any enemy in the game.
Is this the worst game in the series? Sure.
Is this the worst game From Software has made in the last couple of decades? Absolutely.
Is it a bad game? Definitely not.

As I progressed through Elden Ring, I genuinely struggled to put it down. Just when you think you have seen it all, the Lands Between surprises you with another enormous area, labyrinthine dungeon or unexpected encounter that had me wondering if it would ever end.
When it finally did, I jumped in for a second, third and fourth time, knowing I will always return to uncover more of its secrets.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice forces you to fully master its intricate combat mechanics and when you do, there is no feeling quite like it. From Software has crafted a beautiful world here with some of the finest boss fights in gaming history.
