As gaming technology evolved, many games started carrying excess bloat. Pac-Man has none of that. You insert a coin, press start, and a short jingle later, it's time to eat.

The controls and objective can't be any more intuitive. The real complexity lies in the AI routines of the ghosts, which is fun to predict once you learn it. Easy to learn, hard to master - the recipe for any great game.

I still find it weird that modern 2D fighters shy away from a perfect template which exists right here. From the parry system to its generous frame links, there are so many opportunities for thrilling matches.

Besides that, there are a plethora of great creative decisions, such as the animation and the abundance of new characters. Street Fighter needed to evolve and this was the way to do it. It deserves no less than a perfect score.

2-4 stands alone as an amazing interactive mystery, but the whole trilogy as a package comes together to make quite possibly the best "detective" game you will ever play.

Phoenix is simply one of the greatest video game heroes of all time. He is the 21st century's Atticus Finch and you owe it to yourself to relive his finest moments.

To me, this is the current pinnacle of gaming. Intelligent storytelling, meaningful choices, an unforgettable world, and outstanding cast of characters.

In the lead-up to this game, I was so disappointed by 3 and what it did to the Fallout franchise that I was sure Obsidian couldn't turn it around, especially when they were using the same engine... and I've never been happier to be wrong.

The closest gaming has ever gotten to imitating a giallo movie. Sorry, Remothered.

I think this was the reskinned Rollercoaster port? Still good though.

Calorie is an adorable name for a dog.

Would rate higher if A and B weren't flipped around.

Its only flaw is being too short.

I think the Mystery Dungeon series start here. Cute roguelike based on the best DQ game but the polish just wasn't there yet.

The real mystery is that this game objectively sucks but I still love playing it and even bought a physical copy.

Surprisingly good.

Technically better but missing the charm of the first game.

Ignore the mediocre fighting game, play the awesome Diablo knockoff mode instead.

Too damn hard, still good though.
