#WII U SHOVEL KNIGHT MULTIPLAYER ONLINE SERIES#

Remedy’s third-person shooter sequel was way ahead of its time. The Vietnam-flavored multiplayer expansion and a Three Kings-esque story campaign were a delicious topping on a belly-busting dessert. Destruction and map design were at their peak in DICE’s best multiplayer sandbox. It’s rare to have a match in Bad Company 2 where you don’t shout, “My god, did you see that?” over your mic. We may not have been able to go prone, but that doesn’t matter when you can strap C4 to a jetski and pull off a kamikaze run. Remember when military shooters didn’t all look the same? Ah, the good old days. Do we need to educate you on what an antipope is, old man? There’s just something special about colorful armies of knights, armor shining in the sun, charging and clashing together, holding the walls of Constantinople against hordes of Mongol invaders, and finally being able to wipe out those treasonous rats in Milan because the Pope excommunicated you anyway. Medieval 2, however, is particularly memorable.

The evolution of the Total War series has changed a lot of aspects over the years, and thanks to the diverse historical eras in which the titles are set, there is now something for everyone – even fantasy fans get their money’s worth with the Warhammer trilogy. Please Capcom, remaster this with rollback netcode for the new generation. It looks chaotic, but it works wonderfully, and has since inspired titles like Dragon Ball FighterZ.

Capcom 2 cemented the Capcom vs series playstyle, with characters from different franchises swapping out and using assist attacks. We take it for granted now, but Marvel vs. Capcom 2’s character select screen screamed at us while we decided whether we preferred Felicia’s claws to Wolverine’s. “I wanna take you for a ride,” Marvel vs. Among Us keeps the focus on those heated debates that take the entire room through their own personal murder-mystery as you get closer and closer to finding the truth. Things like Gmod Trouble in Terrorist Town may use it to some degree, but the focus is still on the shooting rather than mystery solving. This is one of the few games that perfectly captures the tense joy of board games like Blood on the Clocktower or Werewolf, and adds to it in a way only video games can. It unfortunately has a reputation for being “cringe” now and that often overrides the fact that Among Us is one of the best social deduction video games ever made. Why not 101? Because we had to fire someone for constantly suggesting that Octopath Traveler made the list. There is one caveat to this list, however: If your personal favorite game isn’t here, that’s because it’s at number 102. None of us are talking to each other anymore and we all hate how it turned out, but it was worth it. We’ve batted games back and forth across the entire GLHF team, voting and voting until we settled on a shortlist, then voting again to figure out each game’s placement. Shooting games, racing games, story-based games, horror games, indie games, RPGs… Trying to capture the breadth of the entire industry is like trying to catch a fly. There are a lot of video games – maybe too many – and lots of them deserve to be put on a pedestal.

It’s a daunting task, curating and ranking the 100 best video games of all time.
