I'm so happy you brought up Evil West. It feels like a modern day version of a good 2000s game, in the best way possible. It feels like a high-caliber spiritual successor to Darkwatch on the PS2.

Indie and double A been doing better then most triple A games

Kena is a trojan horse of difficulty. The appearance and music will mislead you into thinking you're playing some old cutesy ps2 platformer action game, and then it will kick your ass. Over and over. Lol. Beautiful looking and sounding game though.

The chapter titles should definitely include the game title.

Kena: Bridge of spirits is one of my favorite games of all time. Beautiful graphics, smooth and well tuned gameplay, and amazing PIXAR level cutscenes. The story is very effective and emotionally moving. Really a shame it got overlooked by some.

Ghost Runner 2 is one that really caught me off guard with how good it was. Definitely a great example of a lower-dev-cost AA game (maybe even single A cost).

Thank you for mentioning My Time At Sandrock - it's become of my favorite games after buying it on a whim and I think more people need to hear about how great it is! The gameplay loop is incredibly addicting, the characters range from wonderfully weird to so, so lovable and the story is very well written and at times far more serious than one would expect from what many consider a 'cozy game' - the aforementioned twistssss especially. Pathea (the studio behind the game) is still actively creating content for the game, updates regularly and is very involved with the fanbase via multiple social media platforms (like Discord for example). There's so much love and care and passion stuffed into Sandrock, it's practically dripping from the screen while playing. Seriously, I cannot recommend this game enough.

Vampyr. Best atmosphere in a game. Fun gameplay and interesting story. Also pretty cool how your decisions can make the game very difficult or how you can become OP.

Kena Bridge of spirits is a game worth playing. You definitely get your moneys worth especially if you like exploring and collecting things

I want a Kena Bridge of Spirits sequel man, Ember Lab's does amazing work, Majora's Mask A Terrible Fate was amazing so to see that kind of animation prowess in a game was fantastic, i really wish there was more that we could experience from the team at Ember Lab's, incredible stuff

Kena's a great game. It plays well and looks beautiful, plus it doesn't overstay its welcome. Definitely worth a shot.

Hi Falcon, it's folks

Absolutely loved Kena when I played it. Story is great, environments are beautiful and fun to explore, and the combat can be surprisingly challenging at times. A must play for all fans of adventure games.

Kena is such a good game, insane graphics. Need more games like that

My Time at Sandrock is truly incredible

I think the plaque tale series fit in this category really well

Can’t believe you forgot to mention the absolutely gut wrenching storytelling in Kena. My mom called when I was playing towards the end of the first act with the siblings (iykyk), and when I had to explain that the reason I answered the phone sobbing and gave her a panic attack was because of a video game, I genuinely think she considered disowning me.

Can you please type out the name of #8? I cannot understand "Thaw Materge?" I really prefer it when you have the game titles in the chapters.

I'm playing outcast right now, and it is such a beautiful world to explore. Gliding through the jungle trees with that relaxing music in the background is such a nice feeling.

Kena is amazing. Would love a part 2.

Kena deserves a sequel, it's so good!

I looked over Kenya for ages, HUGE mistake, played it at the start of the year and it is such a fun game.

Love the videos! But just a suggestion to the editor, instead of putting number 1-10 when you click pause or touch the screen you should put the name of the game then "#1" would be nice just incase you want to skim through the video but still see what the title of the game is . Keep up the great work guys!

I've played Kena about 3 times now, so good.

The story of Chorus was definitely weird, and I’m not really on board with it, but the gameplay is super tight. I love a good dogfighting game, such as Ace Combat and Everspace as mentioned. I loved Chorus. I’ve recently put over 50 hours into Everspace 2, and they have a lot of positive similarities.

Glad hellsinger is getting mentioned. I loved this game.

Evil West is my top reason I'm glad I'm subbed to Gameranx, because it still is the only place (in my life) I've seen or heard it brought up, and I LOVED it. Anyone who's a fan of bad ass action and cheesy 80s style story & dialogue, should definitely check it out.

You missed the absolute best AA game!! A plague tale requim, soooo damn good it gives naughty dog a run!

Kena is an absolute masterpiece. Easily made my top favorite games list

Kena Bridge of Spirits is a must play especially if you like difficult games with good combat, It’s basically if Pixar made a Soulslike. I might be wrong but it’s also the Devs first game too, before that they made Pixar style animated short films, which is pretty obvious in the art style and cutscenes.

I spent about 8 hours playing Evil West on Game Pass and I would definitely recommend it. Kind of like Bullet Storm mixed with a God of War. Levels are very linear but there is a lot of opportunity for mixing things up in combat: Combos, finishers, knocking enemies off cliffs, impaling them on the environment, blowing them up, hitting their weak spots, etc. I played it on hard difficulty and I think that is the way it was meant to be played.

I dont think the words "Boring empty starfields" were used accidentally lol

Kena - not new, but must play, period. My time at Sandrock (first game of this genre I played) kept me engaged for far longer than I thought it would (about 300 hrs). Not just for the gameloop, but especially for the really good writing (dialogues etc). And yes, there are twistssss. Trine 5 - looks awesome, great co op as well. Metal Hellsinger - wouldn't even touch it with forceps, because thats def not my kind of music. Does Palworld count as a AAA game in your book, or why is it not included here? Other than that - good list, will check out some of these.

Kenna is such an underrated game

I was a day one buyer of Kena bridge of spirits. I highly recommend that game.

Kena is one of my all time favorite games. The writing is PHENOMENAL.

If you liked kena, i HIGHLY recommend Asterigos. Its similar combat but with more weapons and gear choice. It also has an interconnected world, backtracking for secrets, and hidden side quests like dark souls!

Man, it's been a while since I last played Kena. It was a surprise that I enjoyed it as much as I did, and it certainly ought to get a sequel or two. There's a _lot_ of potential in there for both the story and the developer. It would be a real joy to get to do more with that world. It's _impressively_ solid. Sure, it's got a couple of rough patches (control scheme is a little unintuitive, as I recall, which could create some fake difficulty) but they never really detracted from the experience all that much. Just enough to be noticeable in a "well, that's there" kind of way rather than controller-breakingly infuriating to deal with. It's pretty, the core ideas are really intriguing, and it really does draw you in in a way that's astonishingly kinda rare in modern gaming.

If you play Kena Bridge of Spirits, it'll break your spirit with its difficulty, then smash your heart with the story, I think it's a crime that there's no sequel for this game, it's no joke of a game, I had an easier time fighting Elden Ring bosses than the bosses in this game (You can't cheese the bosses in this game), the first boss alone killed me so many times that I got hooked on the game so bad and ignored all of my other games to focus my muscle memory and reaction time, but the real challenge is to not cry or stop your heart from bleeding because of the story, it's right there with Mircale in Cell Number 7, Hachiko, and The Steve Irwin Story.

Kena is just awesome. I was sold when the PSAccess team did a play through. The dev team does commercial animation (ads) and feature films and they’ve applied that talent to the game. The story is also pretty good - it’s rewarding to say the least, but there are certainly some tear-jerking moments.

Kena is an excellent game. I played it twice, first on PS4 and later again on PS5 at 60 fps. One of my favorites.

Banishers is a masterpiece, criminally overlooked. I truly can't recommend it enough

Surprised RoboCop : Rouge City isn't on here

Love that you talked about Kena! I also highly recommend Asterigos and Blacktail. Both are excellent indie games with interesting worlds and story.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits is one of the more beautiful gaming surprises I've had. As others have mentioned, it is difficult, but the experience is so, so worth dropping down a difficulty level if it's about to make you give up. The soundtrack is incredible, the world is beautiful, the storytelling is excellent.

Evil West looks a little like Darkwatch, which was a very cool PS2 Weird Western from the early 2000s.

Just platinum evil west last week . And must say it was surprisingly a hit!!!

Kena Bridge of Spirits is so much fun. I just played it last month for the first time. The perfect game to play after a 100+ jrpg like Persona 3R

I loved Kena! I bought it thinking it was a chill game, but those boss fights can get intense. A lot of fun!

Kena is just so beautiful & a really great game. I cannot wait to see what Ember Lab does next.

I absolutely love Kena, the game is perfect in my mind =)

Don't typically like souls-like games, but I loved Kena. The art style, the exploration, the little bits of story you got. Felt really unique while playing it.

Chorus is such a good game. While the interactions between the protagonist and ship is a bit awkward, the combat and fast-paced action is so fun and the side quests have substance and are worth it.

Evil west is absolutely brilliant!!! It's so so good, finished it twice on Xbox series x it's basically god of war with van helseng.... Just buy this game it's soooooo good. Stick with it past the first two hours definitely, there's alot to love.

Loved Kena and Hellsinger, gonna give the others on this list a try 👍🏻

PLEASE don't ever stop making these types of videos. Often the most ambitious ideas come from these games and they stick with me just as much as AAA games. Def gonna check out a few!

Glad Kena is getting some love again. Its an incredible game. Some of the bosses are brutally hard. Specifically on Expert+ Settings.

Are there 'A' games?

Loved KENA it reminds me of immortals phoenix rising

Kena's absolutely incredible. Super high production values. I'm about 12 hours in, and the bosses are getting tough for sure

“You’re not just jetting around boring, empty STARFIELDS” Oof, I could feel that one lol

Now hold up. The weapon customization is one of the best parts of Outcast 2, besides the incredible traversal. This is a baller list though. Quality games all around. Now this is a list from someone who plays indie games for real! There's a bunch more worth checking out too. Asterigos Curse of the Stars, Tchia, Atlas Fallen, En Garde...

Loved Chorus, really great game.

Random request, but at the end of each entry, would you guys be able to put a blurb about title and platforms its on? I know you do some of your list videos, but I honestly wish it was on almost all of them so I could find them easier. That's all, great videos! Keep up the good work!

Kenna was a great game! Super fun great visuals and sound design. I want a sequel

Evil West felt like a spiritual successor to the Van Helsing game from the 2000s. Both take the gameplay and mechanics of the God of War games from their respective eras and both are way more fun then they have any right to be!

Outcast and kena are fantastic games

Despite of combat difficulty, art style Kena have a really beautiful story, towards the end it's soo heartwarming and sad. Hope we can see who Kena really is,what's her real mission in this universe.

Evil West was so refreshing. Just keep moving forward shooting vampires in a western setting. I'm sold.

Evil West is really good but they just won't fix the lvl replay bug.

Banisher ghost of new Eden reminds me more of Greedfall

Loved the video. I enjoy AA games a lot. Thank you for giving me a list of games for my backlog.

Evil West. What a blast. Gow style, Arcade shooter. Loved it. Hope there is a sequel on the way.

Bruh who is recording these gameplays, missed 3 shots in a row in Hellsinger 😭😭🙏

Shadow Gambit has SBI all over it. It's a shame it tanked their studio but I hope other AA studios learn from that...

*Kena: Bridge of Spirits* , GREAT game!! I have just completed the game and spent 24.6 hours with it. Thanks, Ember Lab team for making such a great game!!🙏🙏 Those who are still considering buying this game, this game is 👍💪❤❤ In terms of the graphics, arts, environment, visuals, play style, items exploration especially the OST!!👍👏🚀 Story wise, just so so to me, at least... One thing though, this game is not that easy even though I am playing Apprentice level difficulty... I thought it was fine to play the third level which is considered Normal mode, but I was wrong😅

Shout out to Gunfire Games Remnant from the Ashes 1 and 2. (We dont talk about Chronos/Before the ashes other than its lore lol) One of my personal favorite shooter RPG's with fantastic build craft and variety of enemies. Cool lore too

Dropped Evil West since twice it's bugged out on me during the Mines part where my character got stuck permanently...

yeah like my budget pc can run modern games

Kena is one of my favorite games of last year and I want to go back to it soon.

I've discovered half of these on my own and loved them. Problem is SO much to play and finite time to play them... Thanks for the video!

I only play AAAAA games.

I really liked Kena, but I was very very dissapointed by Evil West. Ugly graphics, interrupted gameplay by jumping, gliding etc and overall not a fun gameplay loop. Gonna give Banishers a try when it's 50% discounted.

Man Evil West was one hell of a good time !

I love Kena. I saw the cover and took it without thinking. Did not regret it

Be advised that Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew is filled to the brim with DEI and BRIDGE policies. It was made with the "help" of Sweet Baby Inc. If you want to stay away from that, don't support that game.

yeah ill pass on everything here

Loved Kena: Bridge of Spirits. Played it back-to-back. Even on the hardest difficulty, it's a great game!

What a great list. There are 3 games here I will definitely be picking up! Would love to see another list like this down the line.

“Go WEST young …Falcon! “🦅 😅

Nailed the premise of the video. You don't just miss these types of games, you REGRET missing them.

Chorus definitely worked for me. I don't play flight games in general, but the RPG elements and puzzle dungeons kept me interested all the way through.

Agree with a lot of these and happy to see you guys put Kenna at spot 2, surprised its not talked about more. Its one of my favs

I been playing Chorus because it was on a great sale last week. It's honestly the best Sci Fi space shooter I've ever played in terms of how fluid and fun the gameplay is.

Love this. Please do more in the future. Really enjoyed Evil West and I’ve added Banishers to my wish list.

Evil West was really Fun

I think I first heard of Kena: Bridge of Spirits on this channel a year or so ago. Awesome game, honestly. I really wish we can get a sequel one of these days, but who knows. The animation and art design is straight outta Pixar or Dreamworks. Good recommendation.
