  • It's not easy to make a 10/10 video about all the single player games you love but try doing that very thing but with your bestie and you HAVE TO AGREE. We're Retro Rivals and that's what we had to do in this one!
    A few rules:
    -We gave each other ONE veto! Basically one game and ONLY ONE game the other hasn't played that you think should be on the 10 out of 10 list.
    -7 we HAD to agree on
    AND
    -The other one YOU PICK!
    This wasn't easy because we don't play many games twice. With over 1500 games we've been dividing and conquering the backlog.
    There will definitely be some no brainers on this list BUT I think we have a few surprises up our sleeves too!
    Wanna know what the surprise games will be? I guess you'll have to watch and find out!

    1. MGS3 (psyched for the remake)
    2. Super Mario (IMO the best 2D platformer ever made)
    3. Baldur’s Gate 3 (The most recent on the list and my 2023 game of the year)
    4. Tekken 3
    5. Journey-PS3 (so artistically perfect)
    6. Street of Rage 4 (the best SoR game and that’s a hill I’m willing to die on)
    7. Hades (my game of the year 2021)
    8. WipEout XL
    9. Guardian Heroes (Treasure doing what Treasure does)

I'm never going to talk about a game like I played it if I haven't.

    Loved this video idea from you two! Sounds like this should be a community challenge. I have only played four of your picks so I have some catching up to do. 😂 Those four games though are absolutely 10/10. A couple for me would have to be Legend Of Zelda Ocarina of Time, Bioshock, Spider-Man(PS4) & maybe even Metroid Prime. I only played the last two games over the last year and really loved everything about them. I would almost even say Fallout 3 because it hit me as absolutely amazing way back when I first played it but it is quite a buggy game (at least it was back on the ol’ PS3) and that takes away from being a perfect game. Awesome video! 🍻

    This was another fun one! I'm not going to name any of your picks so to not spoil it for the other viewers but 1: The Last of Us. I rage quit that game and I've tried to play it 3 separate times and I can't do it! Everyone and their moms told me how good it was and how I absolutely had to play it but I just can't! It's rage inducing for me lol! I can't wait for your review of your last one at the end! Such a fantastic game! The Wizard was such an iconic movie and what I would consider a classic for us old people lol! Yep I'm one of the commenter who keeps talking about Suikoden 2! You should play them all in my opinion but if you have only time to dedicate to one in the series, Suikoden 2 is the one! It's hard for me to do a top ten as it fluctuates on however I feel that day but my top 3 is always the same: 1- Suikoden 2 on PS1, 2- Dragon Force on Saturn, 3- Parasite Eve on PS1! And a modern game that would probably be at number 9 is Witcher 3 and here's a new game that released this year that I would put at number 10: Unicorn Overlord! This is still my game of the year so far and it will be hard to dethrone! Great video and keep up the good work!

      Suikoden 2 will hopefully happen this year. We shall see.
      Witcher 3 has to be one of the most mentioned games in the comments. Really gotta play it this year!

    Yes Super Mario 3! Oh my god The Wizard... I saw it in the theater. It's so bad! haha The Last Of Us and RE4 absolutely 10 out of 10! I've started Grandia this year and You've both got me wanting to skip all of the games on my "to play" list and start Skies Of Arcadia. I started it on Gamecube back in 2003-4 and after a few hours my memory card corrupted and I've never gone back to it since. ok a new batch of top 10s from me:
    Okami - best Zelda game that's not a Zelda game
    Skyrim- Cmon it's Skyrim! Exploring is so fun.
    Puzzle Quest- I've been playing since it's release. Finally beat it last year
    Fallout 3- played and loved when it released, interest renewed from the fantastic show
    Mushihimesama- I love shmups and this one is soooo good.
    Returnal- Housemarque just make great games
    Journey- incredible style and fun gameplay. short and sweet.
    Gris- so artsy and moody with a beautiful watercolor art style
    RE2 Remake- Capcom is on fire with these remakes!
    Elden Ring - Jen, Scott you guys gotta try it. I think at least one of you will love it! haha

      Elden Ring is one I'm really thinking about more and more. Those damn souls like games scary me and I haven't even tried one 🤣🤣🤣

    I really like your dynamic! You seem to have a lot of fun with each other and that's really great to see! ❤I also loved hearing your picks for 10/10 games! I will admit to have only played one of them haha, that being The Last of Us.
    For my picks I have tried to pick ones that haven't already been said in the comments as well
    1: Mass Effect (2007, PC) This was my first foray into Action RPG's (I'm not that young, just hadn't been exposed to many games and still kinda haven't) and I absolutely adored everything about it
    2: Life is Strange (2015, PC) Just love all the characters and the emotions this game invokes in me!
    3: Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door (2004, GameCube): My first turn based RPG on a console and again it was all about the story and characters and gameplay!, Nintendo really made something special with this one and I am super excited about the remake coming up!
    4: The Longest Journey (1999, PC) I played this game for the first time only a few years ago, and while the graphics are definitely dated, I looked past that because the writing is stellar!! the story, characters and setting really drew me in and I have got to play the sequels at some point haha. The gameplay is point and click adventure, with lots of puzzles but thankfully when I got stuck it was easy enough to find a guide
    5: A Hat in Time (2017, PC) I'm not really one for platformers but this game was too irresistible with how adorable and snarky the writing, characters and story are, plus the gameplay is super fun and can get really hard at times! I would put this game down in a list of best boss fights for sure!
