Metascore: 99 | Based on 22 reviews The mid- to late-1990s--or the final years of the 1900s if you want to feel really old--marked a paradigm shift for video games. Blockbuster titles were coming out every month, but few games could hold a candle to what has long been considered one of the milestones in gaming, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time....
Metascore: 98 | Based on 19 reviews The original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater was the end result of a skateboarding dream that beat impossible odds to land a gnarly trick, but its first sequel felt like a more fully-realized product. Everything here is simply better, from handling to level design, while the additional challenges on offer made THPS2 feel ...
Metascore: 98 | Based on 64 reviews An annoying cousin obsessed with bowling might have docked some points from the game, but everything else about GTA IV was a masterclass in game design. A blueprint for Rockstar's patented mix of seriousness and cinematic action, GTA IV's dark tale of vengeance played out across a city that was one of the most im...
Metascore: 98 | Based on 24 reviews 3D fighting games had been around for years before SoulCalibur hit the scene, but Namco's weapon-based fighter stepped into the ring to show everyone how to get it right in 1998. In a year that had no shortage of excellent games, SoulCalibur captured the essence of wielding swords, staffs, and ludicrously-sized h...
Metascore: 97 | Based on 73 reviews Ask any fan what the best Mario game is, and chances are high that Super Mario Galaxy will at least be considered. After Super Mario 64 took the world by storm, the benchmark for Mario may have been raised to an atmospheric level, and it'd be several years before a new game could reach that level and surpass it. ...
Metascore: 97 | Based on 87 reviews And what a sequel Super Mario Galaxy 2 was! Any rough edges from the first game had been polished over, the concept of planet-hopping was more creative than ever before, and the sheer variety on offer was nothing short of astounding. It's the level design department where Super Mario Galaxy 2 really shines though...
Metascore: 97 | Based on 109 reviews Slower and more methodically paced than 2010's Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar's cowboy prequel was a game that was best enjoyed slowly and with patience. With those suggestions in place, Red Dead Redemption 2 is a masterpiece of wild west sandbox design, a thrilling adventure in a forgotten era that provided plen...
Metascore: 97 | Based on 50 reviews Almost a decade after it first landed on PC and console, and GTA V's legacy is one of groundbreaking sandbox design and edge-of-your-seat storytelling. The game might feel like it's everywherethanks to it being ported to two console generations, but the impact of Rockstar's sandbox magnum opus cannot be understat...
Metascore: 97 | Based on 11 reviews For fans of thought-provoking writing, flawed characters, and an atmospheric soundtrack, Disco Elysium is a must-play game. It's a neo-noir detective story with an entire library of dialogue to sift through, but one that remains captivating with its cast of damaged heroes and unique gameplay systems where your ch...
Metascore: 97 | Based on 117 reviews It's fitting that Nintendo would send one Zelda to topple another Zelda from its perch of "best video game of all time." That's the approach it took with Breath of the Wild, the game that helped launch the company's new Switch console into the stratosphere. A celebration of Zelda's history and a brave new direct...
