Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions

1. Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions

With a job system that still stands heads and shoulders above all other games in the genre, Final Fantasy Tactics is a game equally deep and challenging in both mechanics and story. It also has the secret best romance in gaming as one of its sub-subplots.

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

6. StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

Not only is this game the gold-standard for competitive multi-player RTS games, it is also a shining example of what can be achieved when an RTS developer decides to take their single-player campaign seriously.

Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3

7. Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3

In terms of mechanics and design, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is the be-all end-all of fighting games. How Capcom managed to achieve this level of approximate balance, while simultaneously giving players a nearly infinite number of options, is nothing short of a miracle.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Final Fantasy IX

10. Final Fantasy IX

Final Fantasy IX is the first game in the series to have actual characters since VI. It manages to elevate Final Fantasy with the technical advances of the Playstation era, while recapturing the magic that seemed lost from the SNES era.
