Agreed. Back in the 2000s/early 2010s I would've considered a decent 7/10 to be a fun weekend, but with how much time and money people have to sink into a single game now, a lot of people don't wanna take chances on anything less than an 8. Also feel like "sponsored" reviews have increased over time, and the standards for ratings have inflated because of it.
I would definitely have included the whole Darksiders series on this. I LOVE the series and would kill for a proper fourth game, but they're definitely all in that 75-79 percentile range.
@@Bman32x nah it already is better like 8.5-9/10. Venom should have gotten more screentime yes but gameplay for Venom? Sure but I think they put one Venom gameplay section because they want to see if the fans love that mission. If they did then they would do more Venom is a spin off game. MJ segments are less annoying and it's still the same amount as the first one which is 3.
Spiderman 2 (2023) was the first time I ever bought a game at launch. Literally the first day. I just beat the game last week because for some reason, I just didn't care anymore about the story. I got tired of the padded-out boss fights too, and all of the collectibles and sidequests they kept adding in before I even got started on the ones that they just introduced. And honestly, Harry Osborn as a character (at least in this) is insanely boring. Kraven was the high point of the game. The Venom stuff got old for me after a while.
I really loved Hellblade 2, my biggest annoyance was that I had to go out of the way to download a mod because they couldn't just give us some display options.
A favorite not perfect game of mine: Alpha Protocol. Some character upgrade paths just didn’t blend together, some characters are walking tropes, but the story is just fun, the dialogue, both acting and choices, are beyond fun, and the variety of consequences you could experience lent well to repeatability.
Mad Max is one of my favourite games and I give it a replay a few times a year. Until Dawn is a great party game if you play it with friends and assign (or draw from a bag) a character for each person and pass the controller around whenever the on-screen controllable character switches.
I have a suggestion for a list: "Best/Funniest lines of dialogue repeated over and over by enemies during firefights." Or if you want a more specific one, "Best/Funniest 'Oh, no; we're losing!" lines repeated by enemies during firefights." Stuff like Tomb Raider 2013's "She's kicking our asses" & "She's just one girl!", Far Cry 3's "He's slaughtering us!" or Hit Man's "He's going for headshots!" There are a lot more that I can't think of right now. There is one where they say "We're getting killed out here!" but I can't remember what game it is from.
I agree for the most part. I liked all combat and traversal more than the second game. I liked the story of the first more. Edit: I meant second for combat and traversal, especially with web wings. Oops
I don’t know what happened with that game. I devoured the demo and played that for hours. Then I get the full game and I even run the same track it just like a downgrade in every way.

SpiderMan 2 is an 8. Sure, it’s not near as good as the first but the first is a 10. Hard to match that. 2 does not belong on a list with Mad Max and Until Dawn. Coming from someone who very much enjoyed both of those

ReCore is my 7/10. It had some fun ideas and visuals for its time but got bogged down by the grind requirements needed to advance the story for a 3rd person shooter.
How about 8 games with the best skill combination system. Something like Chrono Trigger or Phantasy Star 4 where 2 characters can combine their skills to make a new skill even better than the 2 apart.
I get why you put Spider-Man 2 on the list but I honestly think it’s better than the first it’s not without its flaws so I’d say it’s a 9/10. Its characters are very well fleshed out and its world is amazing and it has more to do in its world and well the gameplay is just as fun as the original. Although, im not completely naive and can say that it may just be a personal preference. I did hate the last fight against venom and the it didn’t have the same emotional impact as the first (and I didn’t enjoy the MJ parts but they weren’t good in the first either) but I still think as a collective it topped the first
7 out of 10 is more than fair for Spider-Man 2. The flashback missions were too long, too much MJ, and a lot of the side missions felt like it was padding for time.
I'm surprised IGN's 7/10 "too much water" for Pokémon Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby wasn't on this list. Whenever IGN gives something a 7/10 it feels like such a copout.
For me it's: Dead Island. The gameplay loop is entertaining, the melee FPS style is amazing and the tropical resort setting is gorgeous. But everything else falls flat: The characters are not that different and have no personality of their own, the RPG mechanics are not fleshed out at all, the story is non-existent, the NPCs are forgettable, the legendary weapons are just regular weapons with higher stats. And yet the game is decent enough and I find so much fun in it, that I keep returning for just one more playthrough.
