- Playstation 4 -+- Probably the most beautiful game ever made up to this day imo. Everything is stunning, the animations, the locations, the characters (who are by far the most realistic looking video game characters I've ever seen)... Everything is just so detailed!
- Amazing story! We get to know more about Nate's past, especially with the introduction of Sam, but we also get a really satisfying ending imo. The story is full of chocking revelations and also has probably the most annoying villain from the serie (but I kinda feel like every villain from Uncharted is the most annoying so... lol).
- Once again amazing acting and voice acting. The dialogues are also super funny!
- Amazing characters! I mean, it's uncharted so of course one of the best asset of the game is it's characters! I wish Chloe, Cutter or even Marisa made an appearance but I think they did a really good job with separating the time you spend with each characters.
- Amazing gameplay, everything is more fluid and polished with some new additions.
- Overall just a masterpiece, definitely worth getting a PS4 just for this game tbh.

34. Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice [20/20]
- Playstation 4 -+- Graphically STUNNING, especially when you consider it being an Indie game! The graphics are definitely one of the game's biggest asset!
- An incredible story! While the "base" story isn't that crazy original, it's the way it's told, through a character who is controlled by the "darkness" (which of course is representing mental illness) that makes it a really unique experience.
- Good gameplay! I loved the puzzle solving and I thought the fighting was also really good.
- A really stressful atmosphere, while the game isn't scary, there is something that makes you slightly uncomfortable when you play it but like in a good way. One thing I realized is that when I started playing the voices were freaking me out and made me super stressed, but at the end of the game they were almost like reassuring because it made me feel like I wasn't alone (I mean Senua wasn't alone but you get what i'm saying lol, it's always better to have a companion in a stressful game).
- Amazing acting and music!
-- The levels are a little bit too closed, like sometimes it would be so much easier if you coud just climb up the rock instead of having to find a way to go around it but I guess that's probably because it's an indie game and they just didn't have the budget to add these type of stuffs in the gameplay.
35. Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers [20/20]
- Switch -+- Definitely the best version of Street Fighter II, it has both the original version and the new version.
- The new version looks STUNNING, it reminded me so much of cartoons I used to watch as a kid tbh. Reminded me a lot of Skullgirls actually, which is one of my favorite fighting game.
- Amazing music and also new sound effect AND the biggest plus for me, they took out the elephant noise in the Dhalsim stage, fr you don't know how much I hate that noise lol it annoyed me so much in the OG version.
- Amazing gameplay, I mean nothing knew but it's still good.
- You can change the colors of the characters outfits, I personally didn't care about this feature but it's still a cool addition.
-- Not of a fan of the side backscreen in the og version, it's hard to explain but if you played the game you know what I mean ^^ It's just really distracting.
- I guess the new version isn't really a "new" version since it came out in 2010 or something but I honestly don't care about that ^^ I just thought I had to point it out for those who'd care.
36. The King of Fighters 2003 [18/20]
- Arcade -+- A huge improvement from the previous game, everything is better tbh.
- Pretty good looking tbh, the characters look really good and Idk what it is about Athena that SNK loves so much but she got her like 10th upgrade since the first game lol.
- Better gameplay, I definitely felt a huge improvement when it came to gameplay! Faster and just overall more enjoyable.
- A good roster with interesting new characters, especially Malin, Shen Woo and Tizoc from GMOTW.
-- Some really good levels but I do think that it's still not as good as the ones in the 97-2000 area. A big improvement tho so it's not like a huge negative ^^
37. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy [20/20]
- Playstation 4 -+- Amazing graphics, obviously since the game is made with the same engine that Uncharted 4 was made with. The locations aren't as diverse as in the usual Uncharted but this game is only a standalone expansion so it's still pretty good, and everything is just so stunning that you really can't complain.
- Amazing characters! Chloe and Nadine are two badass females and I absolutely loved playing with them (or more playing with Chloe and having Nadine by my side haha). Chloe was already one of my favorite character from the Uncharted serie and Nadine was a character with a lot of potential since she was introduced as a villain but she clearly wasn't really one, so I'm glad we were able to see more of her. Their relationship going from business partners to friends was really awesome to watch, and I also really like the Sam cameo at the end, he added the Drake humor to this game and I thought he was even funnier here than in Uncharted 4.
- An overall really good story, it reminded me a lot of Uncharted 1 or Golden Abyss.
- A good villain, maybe my favorite from the serie tbh.

38. NBA Live 2001 [15/20]
- Playstation 2 -
+- Graphically it's pretty nice, obviously it's the first PS2 NBA game so it's not perfect but I thought it was alright.
- Pretty good gameplay, needs a lot of polishing but it's a great base.
- Loved having the Historic players, something that the newer lives doesn't have smh.
-- No 2K like camera angle, obviously since 2K wasn't really a thing back then, but it's just a lot harder for me to play a Basketball game with a sideline angle when i'm so used to a baseline one.
- Overall just aged a lot, not necessarily badly, but it's clear that it's an older game that was laying up the base for the next games.
39. Assassin's Creed Revelations [20/20]
- Xbox 360 -+- Graphically once again amazing and even better looking than the previous one! The characters once again look better and Constantinople is STUNNING! At first it kinda threw me off being in such a different city, but I quickly fell in love with it and it's now my second favorite city from the Ezio trilogy after Venise!
- A good story with an even more mature Ezio. I did miss the old characters, especially Leonardo but is loved Sofia and her relationship with Ezio! It just felt really genuine and natural. The ending was a bit brusque, like idk I expected to see what became of Ezio and especially of him and Sofia (I had to wiki it to find out that he did marry Sofia so I was happy about that haha).
- We also got to see more of Altair, I finally can say that he did have some sort of personality, plus we get to see how important he is in the Assassin's community. His death was also really sad and heroic in a way. He dedicated his life to the brotherhood and he died doing it.
- The hookblade is a LIFE SAVER! I loved that addition.
-- I hated the part in that underground city, thank god it was only 1 sequence but I was just rally over leaving Constantinople especially since I thought i'd never come back lol.
- Ok I might be dumb but at the beginning of the game we have a mission where we have to secure the area, placing snips and shit and walls to protect it from the ennemi. I liked that mission. It was also the only time in the game where I ever did that type of mission lol. I'm pretty sure the other similar missions were side quest but it seemed like such a big part of the game, like a whole new game style that I thought we would see it again in a main quest, but no. I never really bothered with the AC side quests, mostly because I forget then since i'm so into the main quest.
- The game is a bit short, at least the main quest.
40. Mafia III [20/20]
- Xbox One - +- A really good story, the beginning is honestly heartbreaking! The story feels realistic and not over the top. It also makes you realize a lot of things about racism in the 60's, some scenes are really brutal but definitely needed to make the message come across better. I also loved that we can choose between multiple endings.
- Graphically it's stunning! While the characters aren't the best I've seen and the animations sometimes feel a little stiff, New Bordeaux is just mind blowing and totally make elevates the game from a normal open world to a really good game! Each part of the city feels completely different and all the little details makes this city one of my favorite from any games I've played!
- Great gameplay. The sensation when you shoot someone is really realistic, like idk how to explain it but you really feel like you just done shot someone lol.
- Amazing characters, I honestly loved all of them!
- Great music!
-- Pretty repetitive missions. Like it's always the same thing again and again.
- The money management is DUMB.
- The side quest are also pretty repetitive and boring.
41. The Order: 1886 [20/20]
- Playstation 4 - +- Graphically it's one of the most stunning looking game I've ever seen. It honestly feels like you're watching a movie and not playing a game! Some of the scenes were really impressive, the one in the plane (if it was a plane lol) for example.
- A really good story, because of the bad reviews I expected something way worse but I actually adored it!
- Loved the characters, especially Gray, Marquis and Lakshmi! The dialogues and voice acting were really solid.
-- The ending, lmao wtf. I red previously that the ending was shitty but damn I didn't expect such a brutal one. I wanted to know what happens between Gray and Lakshmi, and what happened with Isi, especially since she became a hateable cunt at the end. The fact that there will probably never be a sequel makes the ending even worse.
42. Grand Theft Auto III [20/20]
- Playstation 2 -+- Graphically it's pretty impressive for a game that came out in 2001, especially the huge city! It's also a huge change from the first two game, and definitely paved the way for all the other open world GTA like games that came after.
- A good story with great characters! The dialogues are funny as hell and the voice acting is AMAZING.
- A huge number of diverse missions!
- Cool music, it took me a little time to appreciate it but at the end of the game I was in love.
- Overall the game just has a really cool vibe, it's the type of game that has it's issues but you can't help but love it for how iconic it is.
-- I hate that you can't move the camera, also the shooting is not really great.
- Claude doesn't speak, you don't even know his name in the game. I'm really not a fan of mute protagonists.
- Some missions are really hard and what makes them even more annoying is that you have to go back to the starting point of the mission to start it again instead of just being able to retry it right away.
- No map. You honestly don't realize how important a map is until you don't have one lol
43. NBA Street Vol.3 [20/20]
- Gamecube -+- A slight graphical improvement with amazing courts!
- New body types! I loved playing with kids or fat players haha
- Dunk contest! It's a really really cool addition tbh.
- Amazing gameplay, nothing really new but it didn't really need to be changed in the first place.
- Amazing music.
-- Bonafide still trash. And where tf is my boy Drake? Also no secret teams.
44. Assassin's Creed III [20/20]
- Xbox 360 - +- Graphically once again the game is stunning! Revelations was already stunning but III feels like a totally new engine! The animations are a lot more realistic and fluid, and the locations are just STUNNING! I especially loved Boston! The characters also looked even better.
- A really good story! You start with Haytham thinking that he's the hero only to find out that he's a Templar! I think the whole story was just really well written and interesting.
- Amazing characters! I know a lot of people will disagree but I actually thought that Connor was an amazing character. Was he as good as Ezio? no obviously, but Ezio had 3 games where you basically see him going from a 19 yo to a 50 yo assassin master. Connor is similar to Ezio in a lot of ways but he's also really different, he's a lot more impulsive and want to go straight to the point. Connor doesn't have any family left, except his dad who's basically the one who killed his family (even tho he swears he didn't, which might be true). Haytham is another amazing character, while he's a Templar and has some really bad qualities, he's also a really complex character who's not a villain just to be a villain. He's likable and charismatic, and the small time he spent with Connor showed that they could've made a really good team.
- The fighting is a LOT better than in the previous games.
-- That might be silly, but you can't steal money lol.
- One of the 'biggest" addition to the game was that you could climb trees. I probably did it like 5 times during the entire game lol. I feel like there is just not enough climbable trees. However i didn't do the hunting missions, had I done them I would've probably used this addition a lot more.
45. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City [20/20]
- Playstation 2 -+- Better graphics and an amazing open world! I just adore the 80's Miami neon vibes of Vice City! It's so different from Liberty City which was a lot darker and serious.
- A lot of fun and varied missions! What I love about GTA is that rockstar puts just as much effort into the side missions as they do into the main missions.
- Amazing characters! My main issue with GTA III was Claude being silent, so having Tommy in this game is definitely a huge +! And overall all the characters are just really fun and charismatic.
- Good music!
- Really good voice acting!
-- The gameplay has aged a bit, not as bad as GTA III tho but some missions are really a struggle.
- I didn't find the main story particularly interesting.
46. Skate [17/20]
- Xbox 360 - +- Amazing gameplay! The more realistic type of gameplay really made this game a huge stand out compared to other skating games! It's really just so much fun, might be a little weird at first if you're used to the Tony Hawk's games tho.
- Good graphics. The more realistic type of graphics fit really well with the gameplay, and I also think that the game has aged quite well, even today it's still beautiful.
- Overall just a never ending experience, like you can complete the challenges and everything but that's not the real fun part of the game, the real fun is just skating around and finding the right spot!
-- You can't take of your board. That's by far the most annoying thing in the game since you will often want to skate a spot but you won't be able to get to it because of stairs =/
- The city is definitely my least favorite out of the 3 games. I just feel like it's really hard to find a good spot to skate, there are that many skateparks and the funnest one are the one you unlock at the end of the game.
47. KOF: Maximum Impact [16/20]
- Playstation 2 -+- While the game isn't the best looking fighting game of the the generation, it's still nice to see the KOF fighters in 3D and I think they did a pretty good job with the animations too.
- Good Music!
- Good gameplay, feels a bit different from the 2D games obviously but it's really enjoyable.
- A cool roster with some really good new characters!
-- Not a big fan of the arena's, found them pretty boring.
- It takes to much time to die like that life bar just doesn't want to empty lol
48. Skate 2 [20/20]
- Xbox 360 - +- Amazing gameplay! It's the same as the first games except with new tricks and you can finally take of your board!
- An AMAZING city! My main issue with the first game was how hard it was to find a cool spot to skate, in this game however you can't go anywhere without finding an amazing spot every two seconds. It's a really realistic city with a lot of diverse areas and it's honestly just so much fun to skate around!
- You can be a girl. A lot of people don't really care about that but I think it's always cool to have the choice.
- Graphically it's really beautiful, even today it still looks amazing!
-- The controls when you take off your board are GARBAGE. Still better then not being able to get of your skate but damn your character is a slow motherfucker.
49. Assassin's Creed III: Liberation HD [20/20]
- PC - +- Graphically the game looks stunning, especially for an HD port of a Vita game! The faces don't look as good as the previous game obviously (still good tho) but I was honestly shocked at how good the game actually looks like!
- A great Assassin! First female assassin and I honestly really enjoyed Aveline! I loved being able to change between her 3 personas, I thought that was a really cool feature.
- Good gameplay, mostly the same as ASIII with a few new things.
- A good story, the villain was also pretty surprising! It's not as elaborated as ASIII but you have to keep into consideration that this is originally a Vita game.
- Overall just a really underrated game that I feel like a lot of fans haven't played and definitely should.
-- The voice acting was...interesting. Aveline's voice is the best one and the only one that I would consider on the same level as the previous character's voices. The guy who's helping, I don't remember the name but he's always in blue, has the weirdest voice ever! He has the softest voice but looks like he's in his late 30's lol.
