[@MrYuleyule]

Arkham origins is a gem

[@evanfont913]

The love Mad Max has been getting lately is nice.

[@Ivotas]

Would be even nicer if the online trophy got a patch to be available offline.

[@Original-Juice]

@@Ivotas and even better if we got another game for the 10 year Anniversary! sequel or prequel , doesn't even matter

[@YesNo-yl6ws]

I just finished it this week. Seeing Hope and Glory die pissed me off so bad. Didn’t expect the game to be this good

[@zengram]

Arkham origins have the best boss fights of the arkham saga. And the electrocutioner gloves........GODLIKE!

[@WashedOutBanshee69]

Deathstroke: counter,counter,counter,counter,counter,counter, punch,punch,punch repeat

[@joaquinhernandez6940]

Too bad the Joker pushed him out the window and died after landing on that chandelier.

[@lolmetaknight]

It also has the best story of the saga imo

[@deondraemcknight232]

Facts that Deathstroke fight was thee best in the whole series

[@mediawarhead6124]

I'm so happy that Mad Max is recognized on this list❤ I think one that is underrated is Vampyr.

[@andu1854]

I enjoyed this game more than Bloodbourne (when you spend a whole week not going anywhere, that game might be unable for me to git good

[@tyleroutland435]

I love batman Arkham origns, my favorite Arkham game

[@Sneaky_racoon_sly]

it has the best story bossfights and setpieces but everything else was not so good

[@tyleroutland435]

@Snaaake_Beater the gameplay was fun. The cold, cold, heart dlc was amazing as well, and when it worked, the multiplayer was fun, and the side quests were interesting. The cutscenes looked awesome. The voice acting was pretty good as well

[@MrYuleyule]

My second favourite after Knight

[@tyleroutland435]

@MrYuleyule I absolutely hated Arkham Knight, a trash sequel and the worst Arkham game to me

[@brookshart4916]

Awesome video after the prologue

[@joelgirard7369]

9:24 "and because nothing is ever good enough for Square enix." Finally, someone took the words right out of my mouth

[@MrPAnDaMaN1A]

Prey (2017) deserves more recognition.

[@davidlance5310]

Arkham Origins is only now getting more sincerity because of Gotham Knights & SSKTJL but I doubt that’s going to sway the rest of MojoPlays or those who are willing to keep the backlash alive. Same with D.S. or DMC

[@MrYuleyule]

I loved origins since i played it all those years ago

[@alextownley9388]

Days Gone is SIGNIFICANTLY better than critics want you to think.

[@James-gj8rn]

The Yakuza/Like A Dragon franchise has finally received more recognition since 0’s release in 2017, now I really want a Like A Dragon Kenzan localisation, I’ve gotten so tired of waiting now though, I might just play my Japanese copy while using a Translated walkthrough online for the story

[@thegameking3931]

Yeah I love how yakuza franchise is finally getting his recognition and I just wished shenmue too had got good recognition by people

[@r.c.c.10]

The franchise always had recognition in Japan. I cannot understand why not so much in the West, specially in the USA.

[@thegameking3931]

@@r.c.c.10 because people loves to compare any open world with being gta clone. I have heard in some video where some people were calling yakuza Japanese gta.

[@r.c.c.10]

@@thegameking3931 Yeah, but for the USA, if they don't like it, it isn't relevant in the whole world. But as soon as they like it, it's "American trademark" and it's been underrated by the whole world.

[@Animeguy300]

Batman Arkham Games deserves more praise

[@DonDavidly]

Game of the year wasn't good enough?

[@MrNando1023]

WB forgot this game existed. Should have been part of the Return to Arkham collection.

[@Sneaky_racoon_sly]

I am happy that this were my only Games when I was a child in Got introduce to Gaming with those masterpieces

[@pblreza]

They are

[@Elite4StephanPlays]

Arkham gets plenty of praise just one of the three doesn’t live up to the others standards

[@tyleroutland435]

I absolutely love death stranding. I'm excited for the sequel

[@mrsirlance-]

arkham origins got love cause of how bad suicide squad was .and you know shits bad when people are considering gotham knight the canon ending to the arkham series 😭

[@kasiadinero1695]

didn't batman die two times in Gotham Knights?

[@hogflyer3653]

Batman origins had some of the best boss fights in history.

[@MrYuleyule]

The deathstroke fight was so haaard but so satisfying once i beat him

[@hogflyer3653]

@MrYuleyule it was so fun and fast paced I've never been that on the edge of my seat for a fight.

[@antorkd2003]

I think 'Remember Me' deserves more praise. Not many people know about the game. It's a capcom game. It deserves as much praise as Street Fighter or Resident Evil or Monster Hunter.

[@KaizerSozaye]

Jeez 2008-2013 was the greatest video game era EVER!

[@johcee]

Banjo Kazooie Nults and Bolts is SOOOO underrated love it since day 1

[@bloodymary6898]

I started my love for Fallout when i played F4 then jumped to FNV and then F3 , New vegas is one of my favorite games of all time and consider it the game i play when im bored or comfort game. The dialogue . dlcs except OWB , the characters , plot , the factions and the lore is so interesting and fascinating .

[@ivaylogrigorov813]

I played all of the Darksiders games recently and I can verify, that this franchise is awesome! 👍👍👍 I did not expect it at all. Also, Batman Arkham Origins is really good.

[@LiquidusFoxalot]

Jade Empire deserves more love I think. I didn’t play it upon release but when I did it was so much better than I expected

[@Makman1994]

Darkwatch PS2 and Vanquish PS3 are also brilliant

[@tyleroutland435]

I love days gone

[@AndreArkade]

I'd definitely add *Rainbow Six Siege* on this list. It's growth since the time of it's launch was tremendous!

[@Michael_Afton40]

It's still not a good Rainbow Six game Just saying

[@ARIXANDRE]

These are the infamous great 7/10s. I usually get more out of these games than any other 10/10 triple A blockbuster.

[@DustinKopperman]

Alan Wake and Bioshock 2 and Fallout New Vegas feel deserves more love and recognition than it received on the PS3 or on the PS4

[@EmeraldUltima713]

Sonic Unleashed should be on here.

[@Sneaky_racoon_sly]

5:08 Alan Wake 2 gets a physical Release now. Please supported that,so this don't become the standard of the gaming industry

[@Original-Juice]

Awesome list. I can't believe Mad Max is almost 10 years old now. still a gem!

[@tyleroutland435]

I liked Spiderman Web of Shadows

[@jeuryrabassa4724]

It's one of my favorite Spider-Man games. The story is good, the combat is intense, the boss fights are great & insane, and the "choose your path" mechanic is one of the unique things of the game.

[@tyleroutland435]

@jeuryrabassa4724 The only thing I didn't like were how creepy the vulturelings looked they creeped me out

[@jeuryrabassa4724]

@tyleroutland435 Well, They are supposed to be scary and creepy. That's what happens when you get consumed by a alien symbiote, It turns you into a scary and creepy symbiotic monster.

[@vic101roman]

El Shaddai Ascension of the Metatron is one of most wildly unique games I've ever played with an unforgettable ambitious art style and it deserves a place in gaming history

[@jam-92-illy]

another one I can think of but get's lots of hate is God of War: Ascension. technically excellent when you think about how it pushed PS3 hardware to it's fullest potential but it doesn't have short-length story like Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta even though they are good and enjoyed them as Origins collection. If Ascension got a remastered version at 1080P/60FPS without multiplayer it would've more tolerable and appreciated.

[@U.GeekTV]

I’m so happy Arkham Origins is getting the love it always deserved. It has the best bosses and story of all the games honestly

[@labibliotecadejedehon5534]

Sleeping Dogs was a game that when I play it first , I was skeptical. Like many people out there I was used to GTA. But, nonetheless I try this game and... Ho boy.... For me is even better than GTA. Between Yakuza and Sleeping Dogs I never got back to GTA.

[@zakirstocks9514]

[@Spacemutiny]

Good list. Mad Max and Days Gone are both phenomenal.

[@loboneiner1034]

Arkham Origins has become one of my favorites after giving it a second chance a few years ago

[@batknightchannel8169]

DMC ,Arkham Origins ,Mad Max ,SM web of shadows ,Bioshock 2 are my favourites here. And Arkham origins deserves to have a remaster /remake to not only the graphics , also some of the bugs and glitches but without changing the story ,boss fights ,characters etc.

[@donicio91]

Arkham Origins is my 2nd favorite Arkham game behind City. Always loved it and never understood the hate

[@Jamal-bl7yh]

Red Earth (1996) Now That This Capcom Classic finally got It's due I can say this game rocks Leo our Protagonist Is the most Badass Lion man since Tangeth Tobourne from Chaotic (2006-2010) If anyone watched that cartoon back then

[@sadmansaqif1340]

Batman arkham origins is the 2nd favourite batman game for me. second to arkham city

[@CloneScavengerVulpin8389]

Sunset overdrive's weapons don't stop being fun, i especially enjoyed the guns that shoot fireworks.

[@scottcowan5727]

A lot hated the force unleashed 2 game, but I really enjoyed it still. Rushed yes it was, bit still enjoyable it you give it a fair shot.

[@Dopecheetah]

Mad Max absolutely fcking rules. It beautiful, fun, and kinda sad. It’s awesome all around. Go play it. It’s like 5 bucks in PlayStation store.

[@khalidrabbi4338]

Badly needed sequel for days gone, mad max, titanfall .

[@inkling_ninja]

Skylanders I love them so much and there are KZbinrs that keep the game alive makes me happy ❤

[@markozigo1623]

Days Gone!

[@zengram]

Darksiders opening the video,right after m.bison was revealed

[@adrianb714]

MGS 2 should be on here

[@Jeustful]

Bulletstorm is really great and rarely talked about. Also Dark Messiah of Might and Magic kicks ass! (pun very much intended)

[@McGeezle]

Kick + ragdoll makes any game 33% better

[@evanprice9688]

They need to bring back the darksiders games. I would play the first 2 over and over for hours on end. Gotta be my top 3 franchise games to play. Metal Gear, Darksiders, Batman.

[@jayesun3420]

Especially Origins, it's currently my favorite one

[@CrazeeAdam]

Yeah i really liked both Days Gone and Death Stranding from the start. Very cool games and concepts in both. Glad at least 1 of them got a follow up

[@MJC1891]

7:00 I got that game for Christmas one year it was a great memory. My wife got it for me.

[@rudrakshyadav7335]

How about Guardians of the galaxy

[@booklover0273]

Death stranding…man that’s one of the best games I’ve ever played. The ending had me sobbing at the ending the second time I played it because I understood more of what was going on than the first time. It’s a pretty confusing story line, you gotta play it multiple times to understand what’s really going on

[@Ronuk1996]

New vegas was seen as a fallout3 DLc now seen as the best RPG. Open world games.

[@turismofoegaming8806]

Days Gone is one of the most fun games I have ever played!!! Because of journalist, I did not get it until it went down to $29.99 ... and I did not stop playing the game after I started until I obtained the platinum!!! it is that good!! It is fun the entire way through with the best parts of red, dead redemption, Skyrim, and a little bit of Witcher mixed with the last of us and resident evil for a open world romp unlike any other !!!! Modifying your bike and keeping up to par as well as doing the same thing with the guns you unlock as you continue playing, and then discovering the hordes of zombies(freakers) that you have to face off against is truly exhilarating!!! As far as graphics, gameplay and voice acting, by the time I got the game I felt like it was damn near perfect and ahead of everything else around it, except for the Witcher three wild hunt !! But it had the same style of voice acting, and cinematic appeal that that game also displays wonderfully!!! I wish I could go back and play both of these two legendary games again for the first time, all over again !! if we ever got a open world, The Walking Dead game, I would want it to be like everything in days gone, but have more of the grand theft, auto element with additional vehicles, hideout, as well as other types of enemies and locations and different gangs and stuff with an emphasis on the dangerous enemy type being the human beings that you run into that are completely corrupted by the world gone Awry!! Never listened to games journalist-

[@pixelcount350]

Starfield

[@Airhockey3000]

Arkham origins, days gone, mad max, bioshock 2 and splinter cell 5 were all amazing

[@TheEquinox80]

DiRT Showdown. Not what a lot of people were expecting but was great fun taken on its own merits.

[@Omega_X_Factor]

Bioshock 2 is an all time favorite of mine! Still play it once or twice a year!

[@pomelomarino7710]

Excelente lista.

[@JJ-xh8kq]

new vegas and arkham origins are the best entries in their repective series, always thought so

[@mryoyoserpico]

Okami and psychonauts are two of the best games I've ever played!

[@BigBossBr4z1l]

A list like this without Prey (2017) is a sin. One of the most unique games of the last years. It's a mix of Doom, Half Life, Bioshock, Alien and metroidvania. This game deserves recognition and at least a chance. It's amazing!

[@jam-92-illy]

So many games here I really like... BioShock 2 (remaster) Batman: Arkham Origins Alan Wake Darksiders 1 Sunset Overdrive TitanFall 2 Mad Max Sleeping Dogs Days Gone I'm trying to like Death Stranding I still think it's a really good game. I've not yet tried DMC but I'm interested in the remastered version. I need to play Enslaved: Odyssey to the West; also installing Fallout: New Vegas on Windows is a priority. A few other games here that are classics I haven't played yet but at least they're remastered or already on Steam so that's good.

[@dashalpha]

Mad Max and Days Gone... I feel so dirty getting those basically for free, they're some of my favorite games of all time.

[@renamoda5450]

Arkham Origins had numerous glitches,but still holds a special place in my heart. I'll go ahead and say it: I like it better than City! There. I've said it.

[@storyteller618]

Vampry for sure. Love that game man.

[@Arctic-void-z7f]

Battlefield one not forgotten I haven’t played in while but always go back to it snd alwys lot ppl playing

[@trevorschwab619]

Sleeping Dogs was such a great game. I've replayed it a few times and it's been just as fun every time. YOU HUNGRY? TRY A PORK BUN!

[@Omar-ok7gd]

Shadows of the Damned

[@ThaGreatCJ]

Marvel Midnight Suns is an easy choice for me.

[@Thelonewonderer-f2j]

Darksiders was a decent hack and slash game for what it is but 2 is where it's at

[@LeonLeon-ef7cz]

Man I remember liking most of these games on release, don't know why people didn't like em. My favourites are DMC devil may cry, Mad Max and Batman origins and I could still replay them today. My way of thinking is that people don't have an opinion on what they like but on what others say so they follow it. I like these 3 games more than new god of war for example even though I think that god of war is a good game.

[@hannaharchbold]

The problem with Arkham Origins is it was released broken , games save kept corrupting due to a glitch at the time and it took weeks for the studio to patch it ! The new developers lost any good will at that stage !

[@baxterwilson368]

11:25 I love this game.

[@Alex-ng6hc]

I've always loved Arkham Origins. The visuals could've been better, the gameplay could've had some more innovation, and don't get me started in the inconsistencies with previous entries. Even so, I loved its story, its depiction of Bane, and the side missions

[@ManuelRodriguez-we9rq]

Yeah, I played dayz gone, when they came out, that was a good game. It was amazing.

[@davidflannagan1839]

Alan Wake was called out! Yessss

[@undergroundman5153]

Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines would’ve been a perfect choice.

[@ssj2rhandy]

Glad DMC Devil may cry is on here I actually never hated this reboot even when announced I liked it and still do Still better than DMC2

[@GTAIVVibes]

I love the Bioshock remastered games. Best horror stories of the 2000s and still now.

[@andrewhaase1826]

Honorable Mention: *Pokemon Gen 5 -While a good game, it also faced criticism regarding ONLY new pokemon pre-postgame, some pokemo designs like Vanilluxe and Garbodor (I don't have an issue with them), and a generic villain plan to take over the world (OF COURSE!). Years later, people have come to appreciate Gen 5 for it's story elements and just how ingenious it's villain team's plan was. *Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty -While the bait and switch from Snake to Raiden was initially disliked, Raiden has gotten better as the series went on. I only need to mention Revengence to illustrate what I mean. *Many Entries On Watchmojo's Top 10 Disappointing Games of Each Year list -Sometimes it just takes a little time and a little re-evaluation (and maybe a little patch or two) to truly appreciate a game.

[@mrrationality2213]

Now that Arkham origins is praised, I feel like Gotham knights deserves this too. Yeah performance was horrible but I think underneath is a fun game with an interesting premise.

[@AkaManah45]

Funny how now everyone loves Batman Arkham game when so many of the same ones were the ones bashing it hiw many yeara ago 😅😅😅

[@kasiadinero1695]

Suicide Squad happened

[@johnsesia9050]

Mega Man X7. I truly believe I've beaten it more times than anyone else on Earth. Legend Of Kay. I realized this is another list where it would fit right in while I was typing the above.

[@shawnbass101]

enslave was one my best game in the ps3 era

[@dennissinned6299]

We need more Days Gone and Fallout New Vegas. Splinter Cell and Thief as well.

[@matthewmccarty8191]

Blinx the time sweeper 💯

[@earlmoore7003]

The fact that Arkham Origins had better boss fights than Knight and is substantially better than both Gotham Knights and SSKTJL truly speaks volumes 💯😎🙏

[@MrSkullMerchant]

I love sleeping dogs alot more then gta5

[@BraydonDailing]

Id wanted to play sunset overdrive since i was a kid but have only ever had playstation. Finally caved and got a series x last year and played it for my first time and damn was it fantastic

The only games on this list I'm a fan of are Batman: Arkham Origins; DMC: Devil May Cry; Spider-Man: Web of Shadows;

Time Stamp is a must :D

[@Sneaky_racoon_sly]

2:58 Wtf LOOK AT ME who tf likes nuts and bolts???? i saw it as a car game and not as a platformer but even that didnt help because the worlds are empty and it doesnt has so much charme like the others. also the gameplay sucks

[@robynwolph3836]

Thank you.
