Basically Morrowind without combat. It's a good thing that the world is relatively compact and distinctive because man what is it with games that I've played lately and inadequate map systems.

Wreckfest (XB1)

The game is at its best when it goes into the chaotic and/or the silly stuff like destruction racing on courses with figure eights/loops, destruction derbies with school buses and lawn mowers, and things of that nature. It struggles though when it tries to do more standard fare though with bland course design and an unimpressive array of vehicles. Later championship series also have you do races with eight and even 12 laps, which is just overkill. Still, it's a great game because it really soars when it wants to.

This is clearly the best Dragon Age game as I can't imagine going back to such inferior gameplay and environments, and the characters and voice acting are improved, but man am I exhausted, and I haven't touched Trespasser yet.

Nifty open-world puzzle/platformer with excellent pacing. The camera not being fully controllable was an issue that I had with two puzzles, but that's really all the trouble the game gave me (well, an optional arcade game had an absurdly small margin for error).

I have played AI, and it really isn't a detective thing even though you play as one and you solve a mystery. Much to my disappointment, it was in fact very anime-esque in its characterizations and writing in general.

The Shapeshifting Detective (PS4)

There are some unskippable, repetitive stuff that wears thin quickly that is exacerbated by aimlessness in the investigation due to its linear progression. However, this was more interesting than the other FMV game that I've played (Late Shift).

Given this was part of a Sony program, I'm sure Sony paid some amount to Thekla to have The Witness included. This isn't like last year when games like Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 and LEGO Ninjago were given away on all platforms.

Alternate Jake Hunter: DAEDALUS The Awakening of Golden Jazz (PS4)

As a fan of the franchise, I have to say that I ultimately found this underwhelming. The presentation of a fully-movable 360 camera with visual quirks to make it seem more realistic (peripheral vision, more blurry the faster you move it, etc...), but that is obviously just a minor aspect.

The story on paper was cool, but it was wasted on a mostly nothing cast. The pacing always felt off thanks to so much waste and repetition. They would refresh the scene constantly because a character "left." They would have the main character comment every time they went to a location, even if you had been there five times before, and they didn't bother to automatically put you inside of the building, meaning you got another loading screen and monologue text box. There's more, but those were what stood out to me the most.

I will still probably buy any more Jake Hunter games that release out west, but if that was the final one, I regret that the final one that I played wasn't Ghost of the Dusk.

I know this was considered to be an afterthought to fellow fans of the series, but I was impressed with this, and mostly because tamed beasts are amazing, making me wish that they were in 4. I ended up taming everything except for low-tier wolf/dhole varieties, so I abused their generous system to call upon black jaguars, sabretooths, and bears to tear up the world.

Journey to the Savage Planet (XB1)

I've played a surprisingly amount of games that are truly funny this year, and you can add this to the list.

It definitely was inspired by Metroid Prime, and at its best, it matches the platforming heights that the series achieved. Aesthetically and structurally, I loved the planet too.

The game really needed a map though. There were a healthy amount of transporters, but it was easy to get lost or lose track of something that you didn't have the gear/ammo the first time you came across it. Additionally, combat was a big disappointement. Like the MP series, it was pretty barebones, but unlike MP, it was implemented well. It hamstrung by a small gun clip/longer reload speed, a finicky lock-on system, and inconsistent AI that often made dodging a virtual coin flip.

So people don't think that I'm dead, I'm going to post another entry since it was part of my 10+ that I had written well over a week ago.

31. Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest (SNES, 1995)
30. Donkey Kong Country (SNES, 1994)




The SNES DKC trilogy is one of the more distinctive series out there. It plays like any other 2D platformer, but in what was maybe the height of the platforming era, the DKC games were so aesthetically, atmospherically, and tangibly different from anything else that it's hard not to be in awe of them regardless of how fun you found them to be. Now this isn't an indictment on DKC3 given it isn't on my list and how high I have the other two here. DKC3 is a great game, but the competition to make my Top 100 was too fierce.

While not first introduced in DKC, the series is probably what most people, or at least us, think of first regarding pre-rendered graphics. Several members of Rare have said that was the most difficult and time-consuming part of the developmental process, but their work certainly paid off. They are especially striking given the genre of platformer necessitating a more zoomed in camera to help show off all the details.

While the graphics and art played a major role, the most important piece to the series' excellent atmosphere was the work of David Wise (as well as Robin Beanleand and Eveline Fischer). From the tone-setting DK Island Swing to the chilling underwater tunes of Water World, the series provided hit after hit of songs that were as excellent in-context as they were out of it. As a kid, I would sometimes turn on the the first two games for the sole purpose of listening to Aquatic Ambience and Stickerbush Symphony, so when I quickly entered the VGM scene upon my arrival on B8, the board's affinity toward some of the more personal VGM of my childhood was a major reason why I stuck around.

I talked about how in awe I am of Super Mario Bros. as its excellent jumping physics was unlike any game that came before or after it, and in a way, the DKC games remind me of that. While not a physics/platformer, the series does have a distinguished feel to it that emphasize things like weight and momentum. Rare did an excellent job at designing the earlier levels to help the player get comfortable with it, and unlike other games that had a similar approach, the physics have aged superbly.

A few years back, I had a conversation with some B8ers on the series where I said that I felt that DKC2 designed its levels more around enemy placement while DKC1 is built more on pure-platforming. The supplementary stuff like the atmosphere/music favors DKC2, but the platforming core is where I prefer the original, so that is why I ultimately prefer the original above the rest.

Team Sonic Racing (XB1)

Racing is tighter and better than the previous Sega racing games (though I know this one was limited to Sonic characters only). I really liked the course design here as well, though a few are too long and plain.I also really liked the concept of the team aspect, especially gifting/receiving items, but I feel like there was lost potential there, and I got tired of the AI messing up my racing lines.

Adventure mode was longer than it needed to be, but I was able to play every event, so it was a significant improvement over Racing Transformed. I don't understand the item system though, specifically the distribution odds. There were multiple items that I neither had nor saw (drill or void) during my entire time, offline or online. An additional item (laser) I had/saw for the first time in the second-to-last event.

32. Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels (SNES, 1993)


For almost 20 years, I assumed that everybody loved this game as much or more than the original. I am sad that is apparently far from the case, but it is better, crazier (damn do I love those Cheep Cheep levels), and more robust than its predecessor, and seeing how highly I think of the original, it should come as no surprise that this was going to rank pretty high with me.

As an aside, I used to think that Bloopers were pink dresses. In my defense, I was like five, and why would I think that there were floating pink squids (let's not bring up their underwater appearances or debate why it would make sense for there being a sentient floating dress)?

33. Killer7 (Gamecube, 2005)


This is a difficult game to describe and even want to describe, but I think it can be summed as being greater than the sum of its parts. A FPS/horror/adventure hybrid from the mind of peak Suda51, this is one hell of a trip.

You control a group of assassins, all with unique weapons and abilities like a silent man who uses a knife and can turn invisible and a luchador who wields two grenade launchers and can bust through obstacles, who get assigned targets across the world by the US government. You run around the environment on-rails in third-person solving adventure-game puzzles through objects you find or through character abilities, but whenever you hear unsettling cackle, that means enemies called Heaven Smiles are around. You have to stop, go in first-person view, scan for them, and then use your character's weapon on their weakpoints. Well, you can just blast them with whatever you have on you, but hitting their weakpoints will give you the maxiumum amount of blood, which is the currency you use to upgrade characters. It sounds tedious, and my friends hated when I scanned for enemies as it makes a beeping sound, yet it worked for me. Depending on the situation, things can get pretty intense and startling (especially with a certain boss fight), but the whole situation is also just kind of goofy, so it has this weird comedy-horror vibe at times.

The plot is inscrutible, and the dialogue and characters are as bizarre as can be, but it was all so fascinating to me as a high schooler. I have seldom been as engaged in something that I had little understanding of what was going on. There are some fan theories out there, all of which I have completely ignored. I love just taking it at face value as a totally bonkers spectacle, and I have no desire to read other people's interpretations of it to ruin that image.

Killer7 ultimately had a ton of content cut from the game, which is why some targets seem pointless and why they delved into some playable characters' backgrounds and not others. While it is highly unlikely that we will ever see the full, intended experience, I feel like in a way this was for the best as it being more of a disjointed mess makes it all the more endearing.

I tried to be as general as I could because this, maybe more than any other video game, is one that you should experience as blind as possible. I absolutely cannot guarantee to anyone that they would like it, but it will definitely be memorable.

34. Biker Mice From Mars (SNES, 1994)


Biker Mice From Mars in general is so ridiculous. I mean, anthropomorphic rodents with feelers on their heads coming from Mars to Earth and quickly adapting to motocycles and getting into the biker gang culture is just so damn dumb and silly. I admit that I didn't watch the show until last year when I watched a single episode and was content with stopping there. My introduction to the franchise was with this game when I played it over at one of my mom's clients' houses (she is a home-based speech/language pathologist) before I started kindergarten. I loved it so much that when I found a used copy at some local video game store a few years later, I didn't even look at the price tag and just bought it (I want to say it was between $10-15).

This isometric racer is rad as hell. You can choose one of six characters (heroes Throttle, Modo, and Vinnie or villains Karbunkle, Grease Pit, or Limburger). While the heroes have similar vehicles, the villains have some pretty cool vehicle designs with Karbunkle riding a mechanical spider and Limburger has a hovercraft. Each course is your standard three-lap race, but combat plays a heavy role. Each character has their own weapon that can be used a finite amount of times in a lap, and it gets recharged once you start a new lap. Wrestling with racing and combat is quite the fascinating risk/reward. Do you potentially cost yourself seconds by lining yourself up with opponents to shoot a projectile in front or drop something behind or do you go straight for the fastest lap and make yourself vulnerable to enemy attacks? I liked this system a lot because I never stuck to any single idealogy. Context dictated what I would do, and that makes things more fun and interesting to me.

Further enhancing the racing/combat combo was its battle mode. It has a main mode and a battle mode (as well as time trials), and they are both set up the same. The difficulty setting not only affects the AI but also the courses that you play. If you wish to play all the courses, you need to play on the highest difficulty. While there are only a few themes for courses (city, sewer, coastal, etc...), the lack of theme variety belies the great course design that helps each of them feel unique while also doing a great job at getting the player aclimated with its many twists and turns.

In main mode, if you lose all of your health (you can normally take three hits), you get back up again, but in battle mode, the star of the game, if you lose all of your health, you aren't getting back in the race, and that applies to all racers. Given the general aggressiveness of the AI, it isn't uncommon for a race to end before someone crosses the finish line. Depending on where you finish, you earn money in both modes that can be used to upgrade your ride. It's pretty basic but something that rarely existed back then and adds yet another wrinkle to the racing/combat dynamic.

35. Splashdown: Rides Gone Wild (PS2, 2003)


The jet ski racing game doesn't have many reps, and while I am not surprised, I do love the potential of such games. Wave Race is the most popular series, but I feel like it peaked with its first game on the Game Boy as the later games had their struggles with wave physics, especially in regards to requiring players to pass through buoys (while also not requiring the AI to do the same). I've played one-off games like Carve and Wave Rally that didn't have any lasting appeal. The Riptide games are pretty good but are an uneven experience. I also own Aqua Moto Racing Utopia but have yet to play it. Luckily, Splashdown: Rides Gone Wild exists as it is head and shoulders above anything else in the sub-genre.

It is the follow-up to Splashdown but with a cartoony, over-the-top flair. You have your goofy characters, silly courses that include a spooky castle, a gold mine, and a prehistoric waterway, and you race with an emphasis on tricks and boosting while largely ignore water physics. There is a ton of content here with championship events that take place on the aformentioned silly world courses, stadium races that take place in indoor arenas, freestyle events that have you doing tricks on additional indoor courses, and multiple versions of time trials that include some of their own courses. There's also an unlock system for characters and such that keeps you coming back for more. It's all a ton of fun, but the main reason why it is all the way up here is because of the game's efforts to make every lap unique on the world courses.

The concept of multi-lap courses offering wildly different experiences depending on the map is something that I wish more games would explore. Games like Beetle Adventure Racing and Snowboard kids offered a lot of shortcuts and branching paths, but that isn't quite the same thing. Black Rock Studio's (makers of my #90 game, Pure) final game was Split/Second which allowed the player, and even the AI, to trigger various course effects that could yield substantial changes on future laps, so that's close to what I am looking for. However, nothing that I have tried has come close to Splashdown: Rides Gone Wild. Here, scripted events occur throughout your race that make things more exciting. Each race has several unique events, and if you are in the lead or in view of it, you get to see it all unfold in real time. Pirate ships use cannons to alter the layout, high-speed chases going on around you create obstacles to shift your path, and so much more. It's really a novel thing, but it's something that I always adored and wished was used in more games.

36. God of War III (PS3, 2010)


Before they made a prequel and then reboot in another land with a different mythological background, this was to be the conclusion of Kratos' epic, pulling out all the stops in the process.

I have long viewed the Ageaen Sea from God of War as being one of the best opening levels for a game, but III is similiarly impressive, albeit in a different way. While the first two God of War games looked great on the PS2, the technological leap from PS2 to PS3 was perfect for the series as it was absolutely stunning watching the opening in motion. Santa Monica Studios were maybe a little too ambitious in the beginning as you hitched a ride on top of a titan climbing its way up to Olympus. They showed off increased graphical fidelity and framerate while they messed with the camera to show how small Kratos was while in the brightest light the series. Oh, and you had to fight waves of enemies and a boss. It was overwhelming but spectacular as well and immedately set a high bar that the game never fell below.

This was truly a proper finale with all the insane boss fights and weaving Greek tale that one would expect from the series. Maybe I'm being selfish, but I sort of wish the series ended after this because an incredible finale is something that I value highly as it can really cement a sense of accomplishment, especially in a multi-game series that I poured in dozens of hours into. One day, I will delve into the Norse reboot, but for now, I choose to cling onto my memories from III (let's ignore that I played Acension after).
