With Shadow of War coming this October, let’s return to the game that started it all. Not really canon, witness an unwritten story about a Ranger seeking vengeance from the men responsible for his family’s death. Before there was Frodo and Sam, there was Talion and Celebrimbor. Two different beings with one goal: Stop Sauron. This hack and slash game dazzles us with fast-paced combat and slick, brutal animations. Shift seamlessly into wraith mode with Celebrimbor’s abilities, or go on a rampage while riding a Caragor. It was well-received due to its surprisingly addictive gameplay and its unique Nemesis System. However, it suffered from its weak story. It has a PlayScore of 8.76 9. DmC: Devil May Cry CAPCOM’s well-loved franchise just had a massive makeover. No longer their development concern, Ninja Theory steps into the pedestal to take over Dante’s radical hack and slash adventure. This reboot kicks off with a new and seemingly weirder Dante. No longer a half-demon, half-human, he’s now a creature born with demonic and angelic abilities. With this new change, travel to Limbo and unleash the power of blue and light with your movesets. Similar to the previous titles, the combo rating system makes a return and not to mention new badass weapons fit for a guy like Dante. Also having a sweet makeover is of course Dante’s twin brother, Vergil. Together they team up to stop the evil Mundus from taking their city apart. Despite its mixed reception about Dante, It still receives a PlayScore of 8.78 8. Tomb Raider Crystal Dynamics’ reboot to the legendary female spelunker takes us to her salad days. Join Lara and her hearty crew of researchers as they get marooned by the gods to an uncharted island in the Devil’s Triangle. Veering away from its polygonal visuals, embrace the power of their very own graphics engine that re-shapes Lara Croft to perfection. Just like the classics, use Lara’s various explorer skills to survive against the hostile inhabitants of the island. Use your gun, bow and arrow or engage in fisticuffs with the local fauna. The game is lauded for its lush semi open-world, insane visuals and thrilling set-pieces. However, some gamers are calling this a female Uncharted. But that’s a story for another time. It receives a PlayScore of 8.81 7. Dota 2 Making its humble beginnings as a WarCraft mod, Valve won the rights to the forefather of the MOBA genre from under Blizzard's nose and the rest, as they say, is history. Working with the game's pioneering designers, this sequel is a vast improvement with overhauled graphics, improved UI, and remodeled heroes. It looks fresh, vibrant, and endlessly inviting. But looks aside, Dota 2 is one of the most punishing yet rewarding experiences out there with its lineup of continually balanced heroes and deep strategic mechanics. It's complex, but once you learn the ropes, you'll learn that its addictingly worthwhile. It has a PlayScore of 8.83. 6. South Park: The Stick Of Truth Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s comedic monster reaches the videogame industry. What could possibly go wrong? Censorship issues aside, this turn-based RPG from Ubisoft takes you to a fart-bending fantasy adventure in the quiet little town of South Park, Colorado. Customize your own kid and be one of the boys to protect the fabled Stick of Truth. A regular wooden stick that holds no mystical power. Friendships will be tested as you embark on a perilous adventure filled with anal jokes and bite-sized maturity. It receives a PlayScore of 8.97 5. Borderlands 2 The irreverent cel-shaded FPS welcomes you back to the steampunk world of Pandora. And if you thought the first one was an epic success, then their second title is a worthy surprise--walking the series into the genre's Hall of Fame. Fixing the mistakes of the original and improving on all fronts, Borderlands 2 comes packed with a whole new story, upgraded class system, and a whole array of exciting, random-generated loot. To top it all off, its dark and gritty narratives provides a fitting backdrop to its signature humor. Garnering critical praise, a market success, and a Game of the Year award, it has a PlayScore of 9.05. 4. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Snake returns with a horn on his head and a lust for revenge. After the events of Peace Walker, follow his quest for bloody vengeance against the mysterious Skullface. With a revolutionary emergent gameplay, roam around three distinct open-world locations and test your tactical espionage skills. Choose your style and decide between full-on stealth or bamboozling fun. Hideo Kojima’s final Metal Gear game had its fair share of mixed reviews. Although it scored numerous perfect 10’s and ultimately given a Game of the Year title, it still feels like an unfinished entry. You feel it too, don’t you? Nevertheless, it’s good and it has a PlayScore of 9.13 3. Dishonored When it comes to the ultimate stealth experience, it has to be Arkhane Studios’ first-person adventure. With its sequel on the loose with a PlayScore of 7.20, this original truly stands out in comparison. Return to the unlucky shoes of Corvo Attano as he vindicates himself from a false accusation. Experience stealth like never before. With the ability of teleportation, time-manipulation, shapeshifting and more, control the environment as you see fit. Unlike most first person shooters, this game is so open-ended you can approach the game with or without killing too much. It receives a PlayScore of 9.15 2. The Witcher III: Wild Hunt CD Projekt RED’s latest and possibly final entry of the Witcher franchise proves that development budget isn’t always a problem. It only had at least 80 million dollars compared to Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto V which had almost 300 million dollars. You could say it’s an example of a triple A title with a minimal budget. By the time the game launched, it gained universal acclaim. Players swooned over Geralt of Rivia’s character as he ventures into unknown lands fighting beasts and banging sorceresses. It’s widely praised for its branching story, morally gray choices, and a massive open-world to explore. Heck, it even conquered Poland’s economy due to their gigantic sales! It receives a PlayScore of 9.31 1. And the best Triple A Game on the PC is BioShock Infinite Soar through the skies and enter the floating city where everything is not what you expected. Follow Booker DeWitt, a man caught between a troubled past . He’s tasked to search for a woman named Elizabeth in order to repay his gambling debts. This premise sets up their grand adventure together in a mind-bending clusterfuck. Use the power of mysterious Vigors or use a variety of American guns to take down enemies; most importantly, marvel at the glorious Skyhook that enables you to swing around Colombia’s rails. We might get a few bad feedbacks with this one, but Irrational Games’ first person shooter really did a number on our database. Apart from being part one of the best videogames of all time, Infinite won the many hearts of this generation with its fantastic storytelling, feverish combat and a gorgeous city of Colombia to discover. There’s always a man, a lighthouse, a city, and a PlayScore of 9.32
