I keep coming back to 2:22am across the years because it's still the game which most feels like recurring dreams. But any game can hit that hard if it catches the player at the right time.

Sleeping too little and drinking too much, a series of vignettes blending reality, dreams, and VHS video was spot on for feeling lost and trapped in life. They're still trying to climb the ladder.Ģ:22am is a game I played at possibly the perfect time in my life. Yes, there's a good reason people are still trying to play Age Of Kings. They’re still adding to it, too, with new expansions even after nearly a quarter of a century. An experience that's pure chaos in digital form, heaving with civilisations that each have their own distinct units and flavour, and endlessly replayable randomised maps to conquer. "Chaos is a ladder," said Game Of Throne’s Machiavellian pimp Littlefinger. The earlier example of the real-time strategy sequels had simply captured the mystery and brutality of the Middle Ages so perfectly already, and to a soundtrack of proper banging choons.
There's a reason why people are still playing Age Of Empires II decades after the game was released, instead of the much more recent Age Of Empires IV.

It is, quite literally, the best of three worlds. There are so many brilliantly delicious assassination options to pursue here - and thanks to IO's cunningly all-inclusive access passes to the older games in the trilogy, you can do the deed in all the best missions from Hitman 1 and 2 right from the heart of this third game as well. Or mulching them into wine thanks to that handy grape press over there. Perhaps you prefer the gentleman's approach, such as pushing them off the roof of an unfinished skyscraper. This is a game that's all about dressing up as the chef and sticking a cake knife in a bad person's back. IO Interactive's World Of Assassination trilogy has gone from strength to strength over the years, culminating in the most thrilling of their 'kill the boss simulators', Hitman 3. Where can I buy it?

(And for those of you who decried the very accidental absence of a certain immersive sim last year, make sure you read right to the end. And if there's a game you think is missing from this list, that doesn't mean we no longer like or love it. We also had a few honorable mentions from last year's version filling out some of the lower slots, but otherwise this is very much a raw encapsulation of our current tastes and favourites. Just like the RPS 100: Reader Edition (where we count down your favourite games of all time), this list has been assembled by mashing together each RPS staff member's personal top 10 gaming lists, so this really is a snapshot of who we are as a team right now. It's a list that's designed to change with time, and with the team who compile it. These are our defining games, and surely that's more fun than just another trad 'best' list, isn't it? That's what I love most about The RPS 100. It's also why you might see a lot of less well-known games appearing higher than what many would deem to be stone-cold classics on this list. These are the games that we as a team love the most, so there's naturally going to be a fair number of omissions.
They're all important and influential to each of us individually, sure, but that's the whole point. It's not an objective best games list, nor is it a list of what we consider important and influential. As mentioned in the first half of our ranking, The RPS 100 is a celebration of our personal favourite games.
The RPS 100Ĭreating big lists like this is always an exciting process for me. But now we're here for the main event, counting down our top 50 games all the way to number one. Earlier in the week, we ranked our favourite games from 100-51, which you can find over in Part One of this year's list.
