8 Games Worthy Of A Perfect Review Score

Special thanks to crf_stewarje for starting the thread! Batman: Arkham Asylum First mentioned by Lao Jim Rocksteady’s take on the Batman universe garnered plenty of accolades, and rightly so. Not only was one of the best superhero games of all time, it was a legitimate Game of the Year contender in 2009. Its combination of comic style and realism made it the first game where the player really felt like they were Batman. Add in the stellar acting, tight gameplay, and an awesome array of gadgets, and it’s no wonder people are tempted to award it a perfect score. Super Metroid was released in 1994, meaning that it’s old enough to order a beer this year. All that time hasn’t diminished the love gamers have for this title, though. Like its predecessor, Super Metroid focuses on exploration, finding power-ups, and then using those power-ups to access new areas. It also added a number of new things to the series, including the ability to walk backwards while firing and the option to combine weapon beams. It was a huge game, and luckily Nintendo included an auto-mapping feature to keep you from getting lost. Despite its age, Super Metroid remains one of the best action-platformers ever made. One of those games that has achieved “cult classic” status, Final Fantasy: Tactics took familiar elements from the series and combined them with a battle system that was completely new to Final Fantasy fans. It did away with the traditional battlescreen, using a three-dimensional, isometric battlefield comprised of square tiles instead. Characters moved on the grid based on their stats and class. Tactics also did away with the random encounters of it parent series, restricting them to fixed locations. Combing strategy and RPG elements, Final Fantasy: Tactics has been a favorite of gamers for years.
