No. 13. The Last Of Us Remastered
It's a very depressing game, one that can absolute destroy your mood but there is no denying that it's exceptionally well made and has a great story. The Last of Us part 1 will probably snatch this spot when I get around to it but this game is very hard to plan for a playthrough ad it is so depressing.
No. 12 God of War '18
Before they went full on Dad with Kratos and after they had him just be a vessel of pure rage, they found a balance that makes for one of the best character action games there is and one that uses a completely unconventional camera angle that seems like it wouldn't work but does so wonderfully. They'll never capture the lightning in a bottle, that this was again unless they kill Atreus and have Kratos just go wild again pulling down any God who gets in his way and them brings him back around to soften him up.
No. 11 Red Dead Redemption 2
When it released, it felt too long and unevenly paced but in subsequent playthroughs I have found that this game is very close to flawless and the flaws it does have are easily ignored, everything actually has a purpose and it is the most emotional gaming experience there is. It was so ahead of it's time that games still can't come around to it's quality level. So much of the game is perfection but the game really demands that you fall into it's pacing cause if you have ideas of rushing or do not flow with it when it slows down or ramps up, it can be very frustrating. It'd be higher on my list if not for this fact.
No. 10 Theme Hospital
I have slight trouble placing this game because all it is, is a Hospital management sim but it is easily the best management sim game there is and one that even to this day, I can play and have fun. I have never made my full way around the spiral and finished the game but I've never ceased to have fun trying. What makes it so great is it's replayability, it's depth and complexity which increases as you make your way through the game and the general vibe that it goes for, comedic tone and light heartedness in a genre that can be quite cold. The music and all is so iconic. Many hundreds of hours I have spent playing this epic title. I will say that Two point Hospital comes very close if not eclipsing it in some areas so I'll slide Two point Hospital in with this game for spot No. 11 since it is very much an imitation.
