Games that deserve a remake
Generally, I'm not a big fan of remakes, and moreover, I believe that remaking some games (like Morrowind or Silent Hill 2) would never work, but there are some games that I could see being reimagined properly and standing out as separate games that could work in a modern game design approach. Plus, the success of Black Mesa and Final Fantasy VII and Resident Evil remakes proves that sometimes they could be a good thing that doesn't ruin the legacy or core ideas.
6 Games
Necessity: The true first entry of the great franchise which is still ignored by many players. I believe that it's very important part storywise as it's the first game that features Solid Snake and its events are referenced in further games.
Approach: Pretty simple one, you can just make a new game with the same plot and setting, but completely overhauled modern gameplay (just don't let Konami do it and find someone else instead).

Necessity: Another underrated classic, that is both thematically profound and has a variety of locations and puzzles which can look good in 3D environment.
Approach: Take Myst 2021 remake as an example of transforming point-and-click game into a 3D adventure puzzle.

Necessity: It's an undeniable classic that was ahead of it's time, both in its ideas and gameplay. However, it has a lot of clunkiness, especially in the last third of the game, which is not intentional.
Approach: Basically all it needs is better graphics, gameplay (especially action gameplay), UI and modernized locations. And leave RPG elements as they are.

Necessity: Arguably the best part of early Hitman which has the most cohesive plot, biggest variety of locations and a lot of potential for different playstyles. But at the same time it also has tons of bugs, clunkiness and other issues (the famous "no running" problem).
Approach: Most missions here are basically one long continuous mission broken down into 2-3 smaller ones. They can be remade as a bigger locations as in modern Hitman games. Some will be more linear, but it's the same with the original game. Plus improved gameplay mechanics in general.

Necessity: The first part of a really underrated franchise. With the last installment released in 2016 it's crazy how separated they feel and the remake could fix that and bring new attention to the games.
Approach: Same as I Have No Mouth..., just remake point-and-click into a full 3D action-adventure with better graphics.

Necessity: Idk, I love the core concept of the game and feel like it had potential if anyone cared.
Approach: Aside from general improvements you just need to implement the gameplay into bigger and more interesting maps (it's not that simple, sure, but that's more than enough).
