When I was famished for Dungeons and Dragons, Divinity: Original Sin 2 filled that void for me. Borderlands 3 is overflowing with improvements over its predecessor The Pre-Sequel, but Borderlands 2 still can't be beat for its awesome levels, excellent DLC, and series-best villain, Handsome Jack.

From its seamless continuation of the Borderlands vault hunting lore, to its unmatched writing, Borderlands 2 remains the high point in the Borderlands franchise. The original Borderlands captured the attention of gamers, seemingly from out of nowhere, and its sequel took everything that made the original great and expanded on it. With all of that said, IGN’s list reflects the current staff’s 100 best games of all time - a collection of games that continue to captivate us with their stories, wow us with their revelatory approach to game design, and set the standards for the rest of the industry. Or, quite simply, they may have been surpassed by other games. Many games that left a mark and inspired future developers may not stand the test of time and be all that fun to play right now. While past versions of this list have put a big emphasis on a game’s impact and influence, we’ve essentially taken that out of the equation. Games in our top 100 have to measure up to a few key metrics: how great a game it was when it launched, how fun it is to still play today, and how much the game reflects the best in its class. This lead to some beloved games dropping off, and other games we previously missed being added. Just as importantly, we looked at the totality of the top 100 as it stood and asked ourselves a few key questions.

There are plenty of great picks circling in the Early Access seas, and even more that have had full launches but are not too widely known about but have still managed to either win over the critics or gain some decent user scores. Not only are some of them pretty weird, but there are quite a few that are genuinely unnerving, which is often impressive given the size of some of the dev teams involved. Updated Decemby Matthew Mckeown: The Indie Horror genre is a gift that keeps on giving as almost every day it seems like there's a new favorite making the rounds within the Early Access Crowd or climbing the ranks of Steam's Most Popular list. In the interest of allowing these games to put their best foot forward, we'll be using their highest Metacritic scores, as most of the titles listed herein received separate scores for each of their platform iterations. There are so many to choose from, but today we're going to rank some of then best, based on their Metacritic scores. Whether it be the relatively small budgeted turned triple-A giant Outlast or the Taiwanese hidden gem Detention. RELATED: Great 2019 Horror Games That Flew Under The Radar While horror games used to be mostly produced by companies like Capcom and Konami, the past decade showed us that indie developers are a force to be reckoned with in the genre.
