The original splinter cell games. I can play them over and over.

[@zumOku19]

Call of Juarez, splinter cell blacklist, far cry 3, half life 2, prince of Persia warrior within,

[@A7xeno]

I would add all the Batman Arkham games as well. Those games literally paved the way for multiple modern day games and created a brilliant combat system. Arkham Asylum, city, origins and knight are absolutely phenomenal games. You can even run Arkham Asylum and city on old PCs with less than 1gb graphic card and you can run Arkham Origins on minimal settings with 128mb VRAM as long as you have 8GB of normal RAM.

[@hoiabaciufan]

Not to mention Shadow of Mordor and War!

[@zuhairreza]

Absolutely. From the graphics, the story, to the combat mechanics. Can keep you engaged for hours if you're into Batman! I wonder if they are making a similar next game in the series... Did you play Gotham Knights (hope I am saying it right)? I thought it was all right, on my PS5, but kind of lost interest some months ago. Might get back to it. It's just a different feel without Batman (but was enjoying it)...

[@A7xeno]

@@zuhairreza Gotham Knights was very bad in my opinion. The original Arkham series still remains an "S" tier game.

[@Smartroid]

Couldn't agree more

Man I fucking love origins

[@anish91000]

Mad Max is an amazing game that flew under the radar..definitely a must try

[@DanTekStudios]

Reason I clicked this video was to see if Mad Max was one of the ones listed. The crunchy and satisfying melee and car combat elements alone keep it in my regular rotation!

[@BryantMoore87]

It didn't fly under the radar it's just old, they made a movie out of it and everything.

[@rylter]

I was 18 when the first Max Payne game dropped. And trust me, it did not fly under any radar what so ever. It was the game EVERYONE was talking about. And it flew of the shelves!

[@DanTekStudios]

@@rylter Mad Max. Not Max Payne

[@DanTekStudios]

@@BryantMoore87 I thought you were trolling at first, but like the other guy, I think you might be talking about Max Payne, which of course did phenomenal numbers and yes, did have a movie made, unlike Mad Max, which was the reverse

Disagree, gta 4 and sanandreas clear

I just bought Prototype this year due to a list like this one. Haven't given it a go yet, but I will. Also, Sleeping Dogs deserved so much better.

[@DeadmanXYoutube]

Its an amazing game!

[@ThiKu]

Prototype is OK. Run around and smash. So-so story and dated graphics.

[@DeadmanXYoutube]

Could never get prototype 2 to work on pc.

[@HPDollas]

Infamous 1 & 2

[@theaccountcreated8962]

I’m very surprised that no one has mentioned Half-Life 2. It’s one of those games that is as near perfect as you can get.

[@onelansou]

Just finished my first ever witcher 3 playthrough after playing the first two games years ago (played the witcher one in 2008) ported my witcher 2 save that i kept in my google drive for years(btw i spared Letho bqck then and i was glad to meet him again and fight beside him in kaer morhen, ciri became a witcher and ended up with yen), beat the main quest and the two dlc and got the best endings in all of them , it was a wild journey that im proud to have finished ,the witcher games will hold a special place in my heart forever❤

[@MrMister441]

Just revisited the Arkham series. Really loved it

[@Feffro]

Easily one of my favorite series.the combat is amazing especially on the hardest mode

[@piyushkumawat528]

I am currently playing max Payne and I am really enjoying it. It brought back the childhood memories.

[@nickalotdegit]

If you Modify your games, I have 2 words for you: Kung Fu.

[@SaberisloveSaberislife]

Also Dragon Age: Origins and Chrono Trigger.

[@pun15h3r.]

Maan i wish they would remaster Prototype. Sucha cool game it was.

[@vancelee3506]

Black flag was just so good. I might have to go back and play it again. I’m currently running through the fable series again so it’ll have to wait lol

Bro! Im playing Fable too! 😅

[@lanawilliams7615]

[@GlobalGameExplorer]

Thanks for the sub!

[@emielcors]

NFS: Most Wanted (2005) has given me a love for cars i never will lose again

[@Beduw]

Nice video m8. I still play Dungeon Keeper 1 now and then. I know it’s really old, but damn is it good.

[@Beduw]

Oh and what about Sunset Overdrive!!!!

[@estebanceron3242]

I'd add Castlevania Lords of Shadow as a top game to replay

[@bobthebrickbuilder1876]

That's got to be the goofiest shit, I've ever read. That is literally the last Castlevania game, that any one should be replaying.

[@mk4383]

Great list! For me also: all Uncharted games, Horizon Zero Dawn, Days Gone, Last of us pt 1, Far Cry 4, Unraveled.

[@phreeak]

Sleeping Dogs was great. Sniped it like 8 years ago in steam summer sale. Worth it. A bit short for open world, but for the story a good length. Remembering it took me around 30hrs.

[@deleriousclock]

great list just picked up prince of persia for game cube! and i almost always have Sleeping Dogs installed on my playstation just in case that itch kicks in. if i werent re playing GTA 4 id totally be up on that again. the hand to hand combat is so satisfying. hell all of it is, obviously.

[@Bonekk1992]

max payne 2 is my favourite old game by far, gameplay is still fun but short

[@Alion_Friends2024]

I can proudly say that I have played all of these games more than one time.

[@InvincibleAKS]

Sleeping dogs deserves a sequel.

[@justadudedudin]

Good video. You gotta check out the Dishonored games!

[@justadudedudin]

There’s no gameplay like them

[@Jduh659]

Really like the yakuza series. Fallout 3 is another nostalgic game for me

[@lallen675]

What about the Soul Reaver series?

[@Rahab84]

Too right I play them every year myself.

[@vtrvr511]

Vietcong (2004, Pterodon) was a great single-player FPS.

[@marquez27jones]

I remember falling and literally rolling down a pair of stairs in sands of time and every time I rewinded time it was at the moment of the fall which killed me😅

[@dereinzigwahreRichi]

Oh god I'm feeling old... Almost any of these camo out after I stopped playing games and won't even run smoothly on my laptop. :⁠-⁠D How about real classics? Half Life 1, Unreal, Rune (a real unknown hidden gem!) or Gothic 1-3? Those all set really new standards in their time. Maybe not Rune, hardly anyone knows about it, but it's got a really simple but great melee combat system imho.

[@mauriciopatriciojr.1026]

Impeccable list.

[@Flipflopskipskop]

Prince of Persia is an absolutely amazing game and I am sooo glad it's on this list.

[@marv.mp4714]

Mafia 1 (pretty old but gold) Mafia 2 (absolute playable for everybody) and newer Kingdom Come Deliverance which will have a sequel this year.

[@shreyasvish]

Far cry was one of the first fics with good ai- where when you snipe someone , everyone around him will notice and radio in your location.

Replaying GTA San Andreas right now. Loving the remastered graphics and button mapping. Best GTA ever made.

[@mohammedfarooqui7613]

The uncharted series! Really underrated imo

Good list. I revisited F.E.A.R 2, , Jak & Daxter, Beyond Good and Evil, Timesplitters 2 and the Darksiders series this year. Gold

[@mugiwara27]

Beyond Good and Evil such a good game

[@redshift912]

No

[@m4rwel]

Yeah, I played all of these games except RDR (only one not released on PC) and I can recommend them all. Well... maybe except Black Flag, that one didn't click with me I didn't like the setting and focus on ship battles. There are tons of games I want to revisit, but there is no time for that. There are few interesting picks you may not know about, but that are definitely worth playing: Jade Empire, Enslaved Odyssey to the West, No One Lives Forever, Vampire The Masquerade - Bloodlines, Clive Barker's Undying, Risen, The Chronicles of RIddick Escape from Butcher Bay, Vietcong, Tron 2.0.

[@stephenmurray8559]

I want to replay chronicles of riddick but it doesn't play on anything. I don't think it's possible

[@m4rwel]

@@stephenmurray8559 Try Assault on Dark Athena, it includes remake of Escape from Butcher Bay. That one should work, but you'll have to pirate it, there is no way to buy it anywhere. Used to be on GOG but not anymore.

[@deviandrianto]

_Black Flag_ and _Just Cause 2_ is my favorite old games

[@arctoons7500]

Shadow of the Colossus & The Last Guardian

[@Chazillor]

Decent list. I know many have said it, but to play witcher 3 for the first time is an experience I envy.

[@deepeshparihar7362]

W List. Every game in the list is good

[@BigCheddarMC]

Great list ! Have played the majority and agree they are all classics. My further suggestions would be: 1. Mass Effect 2 - Epic Space Opera - Recruit a team to go on a suicide mission. 3rd person shooter. Great story and voice acting. Addictive gameplay. No need to play the first. 2. The Witcher 2 - Just as intricate and detailed as Witcher 3. I think I enjoyed it more than the latter. No need to play the first. 3. Dead Space - Amazing sci fi survival horror game. 4. Star Wars Knight of the Old Republic - basically Baldurs Gate 3 but in Star Wars. Epic tier game. Avoid spoilers if possible. 4. Fable 1 and 2 - Fun and light hearted fantasy RPG game with great core gameplay and exploration. Fable 1 recently remastered.

[@levisuleiman695]

This is an amazing list. I haven’t tried some of the games yet but i have completed most. Some games I would add to the list are 1. Far cry 3 2. Mafia 2 3. Blur 4. GTA San Andreas

[@TerjeMikalMjelde]

I loved both episodes of "No one lives forever" from 2000 and 2002, but they seem to be quite hard to her hold of these days. Cheesy FPS spy games set in the sixties, with some hilarious dialogue.

[@dhirendersingh539]

I am replaying Witcher 3 on ps5 after completing it on ps4 couple years back. Witcher 3 is awesome in 4k. Also i believe Max Payne needs revival to 2024 standards. It will be massive hit.

[@Sheerwinter]

Prototype is godly

[@ero-samairianto625]

Kingdom Come : Deliverance Batman Arkham Series Far Cry 4 Dragon Dogma : Dark Arisen

[@Just_another_Euro_dude]

I played and finished 6 of these long LONG time ago and not interested in others. But thanks.

[@wraith23GT]

It's funny how most of these games I have played or want to play some day. Other older games that I like to play a lot are Grand Theft Auto IV. I really like the dark tone of it. And Resident Evil 5 which is a really fun game in my opinion and not at all a bad one in the series.

[@eLsain]

There's a game that I cant stop playing pretty much since I was born and that is Heroes of might and Magic 3

[@graviti4free]

Prince and Snake Eater is the highest replayability for me

[@Erik-qx6km]

I agree with Just Cause 2 and Assassin's Creed Black Flag; haven't played the others. Two of my other personal favorites are Vanquish and Horizon: Zero Dawn.

[@Mondo17]

Almost time for my annual playthroughs of Fallout New Vegas and Skyrim lmao

[@LordOsiron]

Dying light 1. Masterpiece

[@nicolemagistrado9409]

I would add populous: the beginning. A truly unique game. Also warcraft 3. If you can hunt down the original discs and not the latest version on battlenet.

[@kelefane6233]

Oblivion. My favorite ES!

[@baptismb]

I do love Witcher 3. However, recently I found Deus Ex pretty good. The thing is I bought Human Revolution back in 2013 from GameFly, but didn't redeem it right away since I didn't have a good computer to play it. In 2015 I bought a HP Envy 750 with GTX970 and I decided to install it, but found it out of business. Luckily they sent me to Steam. I played for a few minutes, but I didn't get it at that time. I thought I just shoot around like Doom, and failed. This year, 2024, the next version Mankind Divided is free and I enjoyed the graphics a lot and started to like it. Then I restarted Human Revolution, and understood what to expect. It was a great game! A lot of readings of emails in the game, but very fun. The other legendary game is definitely Mass Effect Legendary Edition.

[@tobyn123]

Tony hawks: underground, tomb raider underworld, need for speed: underground, Bully

[@PandemoniumPirateRadio]

The most fun and underrated game I ever played is Nuclear Throne! It has pixel graphics which I hate, but the actual gameplay, mechanics, guns, randomization, destruction, abilities etc are just all amazing. It’s crazy well balanced and you can only die from lack of skill. And you can survive everything if you are skilled enough which makes the game very rare. It is also insanely challenging at the same time. And weapons become crazier the deeper you go until you can basically nuke entire stages. It is INSANE. I keep trying to recommend it to everyone I know but nobody ever takes it seriously because it has pixel graphics but man I am telling you. It is WAY more satisfying to play and succeed in and finish than ALL the big 3D games for me 😂👏 And again I hate pixel graphics lol, so just ignore the graphics. The game still has some visual charm and style so its visual style is like good pixel art but still. If big 3D games played like and had the depth of Nuclear Throne they would be amazing.
