![]() Now, the Elder God has revived Raziel and made him his personal Soul Reaver. He used to be ‘bezzy mates’ with Kain until the great Vampire Lord decided to kill him off. It follows the journey of a vampire/wraith called Raziel (awesome name). If you like the pain of being defeated time and time again on Dark Souls, then you’ll love this game. Soul Reaver is set 150 years after the first game in the series, Blood Omen. ![]() The Number 3 spot in our list goes to Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, which is one of our best PS1 games of all time too! Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver Credit: Sega/Eidos If you like any of the other fantasy titles that I’ve referred to throughout this article, then I urge you to give Skies Of Arcadia a try – you’ll be lost in another universe before you know it! 3. Like many RPG games, different mana points are used in the battle system with health being picked up along the way. Players can explore cities or delve into maze-inspired dungeons, collecting items that will help them in their quest and battling monsters and demons at every turn. If you haven’t played Skies Of Arcadia before, then it’s very much like Final Fantasy and indeed Phantasy Star Online. I loved the epic fantasy storyline and the kick-ass weapons available throughout the game, and the fact that you could spend such a long time exploring the vibrant worlds (something that we take for granted in titles like Skyrim and BOTW) allowed you to fully immerse yourself in a completely different reality. Yep, Skies of Arcadia had it all and was described by critics as being one of the best games for the console. Turn-based battles, flying spaceships, epic soundtracks, and a host of weird and wonderful enemies to defeat. This game was fantastic and the vast landscapes that you could explore were breathtaking. This will always be one of the best Sonic games in my opinion, and I hope that you agree with my choice! 2. It wasn’t just about speed anymore (ok, it’s always about speed with Sonic), and many people saw this game as the one that would bring Sega back to the forefront of the console market (how many times have I written something like that so far in this article!). Sonic was always a gaming hero, but being able to move him in any direction and having the ability to revisit certain areas felt so good. Seeing Sonic in a 3D adventure was absolutely amazing and finally put the blue wonder at the same level as Mario and Spyro. ![]() The premise is tried and tested – collect rings, stop ol’ ‘moustache face’ from using the Chaos emeralds for his own evil gain, and run as fast as hedgehogly possible everywhere you can. Make me proud, my little odd-shaped minions! The first fully 3D Sonic adventure – it’s what we all dreamt of during the side-scrolling days of the Sega Mega Drive, and Sonic Adventure certainly didn’t disappoint.Īll of the usual suspects including Tails, Knuckles, and Amy are back, as is Robotnik who just doesn’t know when to give up! I spent hours playing this game back in the day, raising my Chao’s and making them win races to bring me eternal glory. Selling 2.5million copies, Sonic Adventure wholeheartedly deserves the top spot in our list of the best Dreamcast games of all time! Ecco The Dolphin: Defender Of The Future (2000) Many consider the Dreamcast to have been way ahead of its time, especially with the removable VMUs that are now used by many aspiring modifiers and the fact that it was the first console that could connect up to the internet.Ħ20 titles were released for the console, a lot of which are incredibly innovative and fun to play, but sadly without the longevity needed to make the Dreamcast a house-hold name today.īut that’s the history lesson over – let’s crack on with Number 1! It sits in second-hand gaming stores like a mysterious object in a fantasy quest and prompts strange looks from children, a constant reminder of what Sega could have gone on to achieve had they got the formula right. ![]() It’s perhaps the greatest ‘what if’ story in gaming history, Sega’s swan song and a last-ditch attempt to keep the Sonic ship afloat in a world of bandicoots, Italian plumbers, and green hatted forest children (if you need help on deciphering those three games, then there’s no hope). The Sega Dreamcast is a bit of an enigma. Nothing makes a retro console more interesting than one that could have gone onto greatness, which is why this list of the best Dreamcast games of all time has an exciting yet bitter-sweet feel to it (that’s a good thing – please don’t stop reading).
