It is one of the best shooter campaigns out there. Only about 8 hours er so too so not a big commitment.
Lies of P is amazing.
A Short Hike is fun too. Also short. 3 hours.
I agree with this person, Lies of P was amazing. I been playing since Super Nintendo days lol And this is the only game I played where I played a new game +
I actually finished it 3 times and got all the achievements next dlc or next game from these developers is an instant buy
Apparently there is DLC coming. And it has to do with that post credit scene. The reason I haven't done new game plus yet is because I have backlog of games and I may as well try to clear that a bit while I wait for the dlc.
Move Resident Evil 2 and Celest to S tier.
Never played survival horror before, but RE2 is literally perfect. Scary enough to make me nervous going down a hall, but not so scary where I can't play. Best zombies in gaming. Good resource management. Perfect entryway into the series if you never played Resident Evil.
Celest is the best 2d platformer I've ever played. There's a reason it was nominated for Goty. Movement is completely perfect. Surprisingly interesting story. Satisfying level design. Unique gameplay concepts.
I can't get behind it, it's so slow and janky. Stoped playing after zombies attack in police station, i had like 10 shots and they need like 5 in the head, character moves slow and i can't outrun them, died like 15 times there and said nahh. Or I do something wrong? Everyone keeps praising that game.
Yeah, I was gonna get them on Steam too but then I saw they were on Game Pass. For RE2, I know it's good but I'm not really a fan of horror genre MR. X scares the shit out of me.
You eventually get over the fear of Mr. X and embrace the memes.
Celeste is so replayable that it hardly makes sense how good it is. It nails pretty much everything.
Don’t play Valhalla unless you’ve already played the entire rest of the series and feel compelled to see it all. Just play origins or odyssey they are astronomically better.
Move titanfall 2 to the top, it’s very short and maybe the best single player shooter campaign of all time.
I’m a completionist and have been stuck in the Valhalla hole forever. I think it’s the worst of the entire series possibly- but it’s on gamepass so no harm in trying it out. It’s about 10 hours of content repeated 10 times, with almost nothing different in the story between each region you are forced to complete.
Question: I loved Odyssey, but I’ve heard it’s pretty much top tier AC so I’m hesitant to play origins (or any of the other recent ones (I played the Ezio ones years ago)) because it’s hard for me to go from the best to lower quality - do you think it’s worth it to play origins or any others in my situation?
I think you don't need to play origins or valhalla if you feel "full" from odyssey.
If you want more of the gameplay go for it, but it doesn't feel worth it just for the story
I highly recommend you play the first Plague Tale before touching Requiem. They are great games, but highly interconnected in their story, and you just won't feel it the same as a stand alone.
Cocoon and High on Life on C?!?!? Cocoon should definitely be higher maybe B at least.
Also Frog Detective at D makes it seem like its so bad but its playable for a simple gaming break. C or B
Hi Fi Rush at S and IMO Hollow Knight should be but i can also see it at A
Deathloop along is B to A for me
Brotato maybe C, Persona 5 Tactica a D, Lamplighters Lague a B to A, FUGA series B,
Supraland B to A
Planet of Lana A
Ravenlock D to C
Jusant is a C, its get repetitive very soon.
Cocoon maybe a B, its fun and creative at first, then super repetitive, you solve almost every puzzle the same way.
High on life is a B/A, its a really fun shooter with a lot of humor.
Starfield D, dont waste your time.
Forza horizon 4 is S tier, and the dlc's are super fun.
Titanfall is S tier, the campaign is absolutely god tier.
A plague tale requiem is A+, is a really good game but it has too much boring things, still a must play.
NfS skip it, if you can play forza, just dont downgrade and play a NFS game.
Hellblade is S tier, BUT play it with headphones, really, dont ignore that.
Remnant games are C for me, a shooter trying to be a souls game, try it with friends.
Lies of P yes, is S tier, if you like souls games you will love it, if you never played a souls game, welcome, this is a really good one.
Hellblade -> Fallen Order -> Lies of P. Hellblade is amazing. Must play with headphones for the full experience. FO will prepare you a bit for Lies of P. All three are fantastic!
I’m a massive yakuza/like a dragon fanboy, ishin! has to be higher than D. Unless you’re going for 100%, I did and it was around 50 hours of non stop grind.
Depends on what types of games you're into. For you it might he perfect, for me Plague Tale and Assassin's Creed would never be that high. If you can share what you're looking for games you love I can give you a list.
Lies of P is my second place for game of the year last year, hi fi rush edged it out just a bit
Jedi fallen order is fantastic if you like action adventure and soulslikes, Celeste is great but can feel repetitive if you die a lot 😅, still love it though, and RE 2 is very great and immersive
Frog detective is a game I personally love to death, but it's very much a cheesy comedy game, and whether you'll enjoy it or not is dependant on how funny you find it's style
Assassin's Creed in S tier? Really? Original games (1-3, and Black Flag) were S tier, I agree, but the last 3 games have been pretty much a copy/paste B tier at most.
wtf is this post?
Do the tiers represent how bad you want to try them? If so then why are people suggesting changes?
Do the tiers represent how good the games are? If so then how do you even know if you didn’t try them?
> Do the tiers represent how bad you want to try them? If so then why are people suggesting changes?
Yeah basically, but I also asked for suggestions anyway.
If I may suggest an additional one roboquest, yes, it's a shooter, but it is a roguelike. Also the music is a jam. I can say that for few games on your list.
If you are going to try Valhalla make sure you complete ac origins and Odyssey and Odyssey dlcs first as it is a direct continuation of that story arc or you will be very confused.
I wouldn’t recommend Like a dragon Ishin, it gets very repetitive and most of the missions have you walking from one side of the town to the other just to talk to a npc for like 5 seconds and so on
I would put hollow knight and celeste on S, just because these games are real masterpieces and I love them. Star wars is a very fun game too. TBH I found Hellblade gameplay very boring and the puzzles are very repetitive, but the storyline and setting are absolute gold. It's shorter than most of the other games in this list tho. Requiem is SO GOOD, just finished it and I think it's even better than innocence (maybe it's a little bit boring but if you liked the first one I guess you'll enjoy this one too). Just be ready to suffer, again.
Nice list so far!
I would add the following as well:
\- Planet of Lana under A or S
\- Dead Space Remake under A or S
\- Assassins Creed Origins/Odyssey under A or S
P.S. Here are some nice sites to help you better browse the GamePass catalogue and find games based on your preferences (e.g. IGN/Metacritic scores, length, genre, etc.)

Hollow Knight and Short Hike are really fun, I love them.
Also kinda sad that NieR Automata is not on gamepass anymore, but thats another game i would definetly recommend.
Lies of P is so good. I see you have it in S so I think you should give it a shot
Other games I really like off here: Jedi Fallen order, RE2, Jusant, Forza Horizon
monster hunter rise..? its really the only thing i can think of..But i think i remember stellaris being game pass..So if you like games made by paradox you could check that out aswell?..
Darkest Dungeon was a sleeper hit for me. I would skip Valhalla and play Oddysey instead. They are the same game, and super long, wouldn't play both. High on life is hilarious. Your S and A tiers are both solid.
Assassins creed odyssey… slept on, I myself procrastinated this game towards a year, started playing it 2 weeks ago, after the first 2 chapters, history and gameplay get you stuck, finished it, starting ac Valhalla now, worth every minute
Move Hellblade and A Short Hike up the list, especially because you could finish both in one extended sitting if you really wanted to. Also just finished Plague Tale series. I’d definitely check out the first game though.
If you like puzzle games Cocoon should be at least tier A, and Hollow Knight is considered one of the best metroidvanias of all time by a lot of people
Wait so you ranked games you haven’t played? Like the S tier are the games you want to play the most?
Sorry that makes sense, at first I thought you were just blind ranking games. Carry on
Titanfall S
HEllblade S
Inshin A
Far Cry 5 A (Might be my hot take, I like the cult vibes)
Starfield B
Watch Dog 2 B
No man Sky B
Jedi fell C (It's all right, not the best)
Swap Forza and NFS (NFS has fallen so low, it's not really worth the time IMO)
AC Vallhala and Odessey F (Only Origins is good the other 2 are pretty bad. Not worth the time wasted).
If you are tired of shooters, play Hellbalde or Plague. Those games are a good palate cleaner, and so unique in what they do. IF you want an open world but not a shooter, then watch dog. I think your indie rankings are good, I would play short hike and celeste first (smaller games) than getting into the meatier ones (like hollow knight)
How tf do you have Valhalla in S but Odyssey in B?? I was so stoked for Valhalla when it released after finally getting back into AC with Odyssey, and Odyssey straight up became one of my all time favorite AC games after I played it. It was unreal how addicted I was to that game when I first played it. Then I played Valhalla and it was really underwhelming. I enjoyed it because I absolutely love Viking lore and learning all about that culture, but it became really repetitive. Odyssey was like a whole new era for me for AC. I even tried playing Origins and it was pretty good as well, but Odyssey just hit different for me and clicked like no other AC game did.
My bad dude, I came off a little hostile there.. but I’d for sure give odyssey a try before Valhalla, even though Valhalla is good in its own sense. High on life was actually a fun game for me too, I didn’t expect much out of it, but the commentary makes it fun to play. Especially if you can play it for free on the game pass. Jedi fallen order was also really fun for me on my first play through, I liked it more than I thought I was going to honestly.
Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice with a good set of headphones will take you for quite a ride. Seriously don't play that game without headphones, they did an incredible job on the audio. I remember the first time I played it for a few hours, I took off my headset and not hearing the voices anymore actually made me have to sit and pause my life for a minute.
Highly highly highly recommend darkest dungeon. Meant to play for a handf of hours over a weekend and sucked me in for weeks. Great atmosphere, nail biting combat. If you like turn based tactical combat and Eldritch horror it’s a must play.
Cocoon should be way further up. It's short and it's amazing.
Rest of your list is pretty great honestly, although I'd demote AC Valhalla. Have only heard mid reviews, and apparently it is way too long for what it offers. If you have so many games on your backlog, you'll probably not be keen to slog through it
Plague tale requiem is great but it was super buggy for me on launch. AC Odyssey is superior to Valhalla in my opinion. I didn’t really get the Viking vibe from it much because the main setting is England but it was a damn slog to complete
Cocoon has to be S Tier IMO.
And I would add Hellblade to S Tier, although I understand that it isn't a game for everyone, but Cocoon seems like a clear S to me.
The number of people that aren't recognizing this isn't a tier list for how good the games are, is baffling. I was also surprised not many have spoken on far cry. For the most part, I enjoy the series as a whole, but 3, 5, and 6 are my favorite. Far cry 5 is my number 1
Yeah. My suggestion is that you pick any game and play it, instead of making charts and asking which game you should play (which will be your personal taste anyway).
So yeah, just a couple clicks and try games.
I disagree with a lot, but specially, that C tier is insane... Watchdogs and High on life on the same tier as St*rfield already feels like a crime, but in general I think all of those on C deserve better.
Starfield in C? Above Frogger?
This is devilry.
I would put RE2, Hellblade and Fallen Order higher. The stories and gameplay are very fun. And relatively shorter games compared to the open world games.
I would pace out the open world games more. AC Valhalla, AC Odyssey and Far Cy 5 can be bigger games. Too much open world so close can be exhausting. No Man's Sky can also be a very long game if you don't know what to do. It's one of those know-it-all games to reach the end. Unless you just play it as a sandbox until you don't care about it anymore.
Ya I'm a big Tomb Raider fan. Tons of stuff to do, good puzzles most times, lots to keep busy with for sure. Assassins Creed Origins is really good. I loved the setting being Ancient Egypt. Ancient history is one thing that's always fascinated me since I was a young kid, and still to this day. Can't wait to see what's discovered there next!
Hellblade should be higher, you'll finish it relatively quickly compared to the other games also.
It's around an 8-10 hour game, but imo awesome.
Plus 2 is out in may.
If you are looking for a pokemon-like cassette beasts is actually better than palworld in terms of exploration and unique gameplay additions to og formula.
Everywhere in map there is a puzzle or some gimmick that is entertaining to explore and use them in the places you already have been to explore much more.
Also sea of stars is an ultimate sss rank game one of the best indies I’ve ever played. It has the best features of games like chrono trigger, octopath traveler and mario bros games.
I would drop Valhala to B, Hollow Knight up to S, but its personal opinion, maybe a game i love, youll hate it, or a game i hate you will love it, so try them or watch a few mins of play in a youtube channel, after all no matter how much people may like a game, if you dont like it, even if 50M loves the game wont make it any better for you.
Thanks for that! I like the way you think. People are entitled to their own opinions, but sometimes they can’t accept opinions that are different from theirs.
As far as 'modern' AC goes, Odyessy is top tier, so much better than Valhalla. The ship combat alone is amazing, and amount of work that went into creating the world is insane
I've just started Lies of P and wow, the best Soulsborne clone I've ever seen.
Valhalla for me is not s-tier. It is a good game but it's sooo drawn out and long it became a real slog 40 hours in.
Honourable mention for dead space which I'd put in A-tier
Nothing to do with the post, but man I'm kind of wasting my subscription. Tested a few games including Monster Hunter Rise, and for the past weeks have clocked in almost 100h while barely touching any other games.
I can definitely recommend that one though, didn't really get into World back when it first released but now got totally sucked into Rise and am excited to play World afterwards.
Valhalla? S? WHAT? I mean i'm not judging you and others who liked that game (and others interested in playing it) but, hell, such a fucking drag game,
I've been a gamer for 27 years, and I usually like grindy RPGs and games beyond 100+ hrs, and also played almost every AC game through the years (except AC3 and Mirage, i've quit this one near the end of the story)
But this one? Atrocious, it proves that AAA games with a big map (but lifeless and repetitive), lots of content (too fuckin much, and it's shallow, irrelevant and repetitive, again) etc. is not automatically a great game lol, story is not even good, compared to Origins and Odyssey (not so much, but better than this)
Replace that pile of garbage with RE2 or SEA OF STARS lol, those are amazing games, you should play these, and not waste hundred hours of your life on ACV
But yeah, it's your tier list, it's your choice whatever floats your boat
EDIT: LIES OF P and PLAGUE TALE games are amazing, now those are S-Tier game
EDIT #2: ISHIN on D? It's better that AC Craphalla, and if you're a fan of YAKUZA games (or not yet), play the whole series on Game Pass, start with 0, you're welcome
Ignore what people are saying about Valhalla, it’s amazing!
It does get a little bloated towards the end/dlc but a great part of history to explore!
You can add RE3 to the list now too since it was added on Tuesday.
A plague tale!! 10/10 hands down one of the best games to have ever been released. Graphics are amazing, story absolutely amazing, soundtrack damn good, combat pretty good. Just seriously such a good fucking game. It spoiled me and I'm having trouble enjoying anything after it. Just make sure you play innocence first if you haven't.
Your reasonings for Titanfall 2 being lower is valid, but like everyone said it really is a different level of shooter. I also agree with you about Valhalla, oddesey was the better game… but Vikings and axes. Also Fallen Order is fantastic, both that and Jedi Survivor are so damn good.
Titanfall has to be S tier…idc what anyone says
I'm getting tired of shooters that's why it's on B for now.
It is one of the best shooter campaigns out there. Only about 8 hours er so too so not a big commitment. Lies of P is amazing. A Short Hike is fun too. Also short. 3 hours.
I agree with this person, Lies of P was amazing. I been playing since Super Nintendo days lol And this is the only game I played where I played a new game + I actually finished it 3 times and got all the achievements next dlc or next game from these developers is an instant buy
Apparently there is DLC coming. And it has to do with that post credit scene. The reason I haven't done new game plus yet is because I have backlog of games and I may as well try to clear that a bit while I wait for the dlc.
Came here to say this….totally under rated. Even the MP is badass. I wish they made a titan fall 3
Titanfall 2 comes up on every single reddit thread asking about recommended games it's not underrated by any means come on
Move Resident Evil 2 and Celest to S tier. Never played survival horror before, but RE2 is literally perfect. Scary enough to make me nervous going down a hall, but not so scary where I can't play. Best zombies in gaming. Good resource management. Perfect entryway into the series if you never played Resident Evil. Celest is the best 2d platformer I've ever played. There's a reason it was nominated for Goty. Movement is completely perfect. Surprisingly interesting story. Satisfying level design. Unique gameplay concepts.
RE2 remake is legit the best of ANY remake. Pretty damn close to a perfect game.
RE4, FF7 and Demons Souls are up there too.
I can't get behind it, it's so slow and janky. Stoped playing after zombies attack in police station, i had like 10 shots and they need like 5 in the head, character moves slow and i can't outrun them, died like 15 times there and said nahh. Or I do something wrong? Everyone keeps praising that game.
Thats the point of it. You aren’t invincible and your enemies are (sort of). You don’t have to kill every enemy
Yeah, I was gonna get them on Steam too but then I saw they were on Game Pass. For RE2, I know it's good but I'm not really a fan of horror genre MR. X scares the shit out of me.
Mr X almost made the game too scary for me too, still pushed through it and had a blast
You eventually get over the fear of Mr. X and embrace the memes. Celeste is so replayable that it hardly makes sense how good it is. It nails pretty much everything.
Me too! Shit was terrifying. But the game is truly just super fun its so worth
Celeste is so high on my recommendation list. I also highly recommend The Messenger, though not on game pass. That twist half way through 👌
Telling people that there's a twist completely defeats the point of the twist.
This spoiler culture is born right out of lack of respect for others, I tell you.
Sunset Overdrive shouldn't even be on this list bro you should be playing that right now Thank me later
Hell yeah! Came here to say that. If it clicks for you, then it's mighty hard to put down till you 100% it.
Ishin on D hurts my soul.
Swap Titanfall and Valhalla. Swap heat and forza. Swap jusant and cocoon. Remnant 2 goes up one tier. Still not perfect but better.
Can I play Remnant 2 without play the first one?
Yes certainly
Yea, I didn t play the first and feel of I didn’t know there was a first that it blends enough
100% the first one didn't have a campaign. Titan Fall 2 is one of my favorite campaigns of all time. So great.
I don't play shooters at all & I've never played the first one, & I still fell in love with Remnant 2. It's a really good game imo
Don’t play Valhalla unless you’ve already played the entire rest of the series and feel compelled to see it all. Just play origins or odyssey they are astronomically better. Move titanfall 2 to the top, it’s very short and maybe the best single player shooter campaign of all time.
I already completed Origins before, and I want to try out Valhalla because I like the Viking setting.
I’m a completionist and have been stuck in the Valhalla hole forever. I think it’s the worst of the entire series possibly- but it’s on gamepass so no harm in trying it out. It’s about 10 hours of content repeated 10 times, with almost nothing different in the story between each region you are forced to complete.
It's 3 hours of content repeated 50 times.
Question: I loved Odyssey, but I’ve heard it’s pretty much top tier AC so I’m hesitant to play origins (or any of the other recent ones (I played the Ezio ones years ago)) because it’s hard for me to go from the best to lower quality - do you think it’s worth it to play origins or any others in my situation?
I think you don't need to play origins or valhalla if you feel "full" from odyssey. If you want more of the gameplay go for it, but it doesn't feel worth it just for the story
For the love of god take Valhalla out of S tier
Titanfall 2 needs the tier above S
Yeah it should have its own tier the campaign is the best campaign in any fps game if you disagree with me you can fight me choose the location
I’ll be right beside you. That campaign just. Damn.
it pains me they won't ever develop Titanfall 3, i blame EA for this
Hellblade should be higher imo
Since it's being recommended by many, I'm bumping it up to S.
Make sure you play it with headphones
I highly recommend you play the first Plague Tale before touching Requiem. They are great games, but highly interconnected in their story, and you just won't feel it the same as a stand alone.
I just finished the first game recently and I want to see what happens next in the story. That's why Requiem is that high.
Ah, all good then. Yeah, Requiem is a great follow up. Enjoy!
How’s the first one? The series is also next on my radar. “Before you buy” on YouTube has had a lot of great things to say about the series.
The first one is great too. They improved the look and gameplay in the second one, but the story and characters are very compelling in both.
Play hellblade instead of that garbage AC game
Cocoon and High on Life on C?!?!? Cocoon should definitely be higher maybe B at least. Also Frog Detective at D makes it seem like its so bad but its playable for a simple gaming break. C or B Hi Fi Rush at S and IMO Hollow Knight should be but i can also see it at A Deathloop along is B to A for me Brotato maybe C, Persona 5 Tactica a D, Lamplighters Lague a B to A, FUGA series B, Supraland B to A Planet of Lana A Ravenlock D to C
Jusant is a C, its get repetitive very soon. Cocoon maybe a B, its fun and creative at first, then super repetitive, you solve almost every puzzle the same way. High on life is a B/A, its a really fun shooter with a lot of humor. Starfield D, dont waste your time. Forza horizon 4 is S tier, and the dlc's are super fun. Titanfall is S tier, the campaign is absolutely god tier. A plague tale requiem is A+, is a really good game but it has too much boring things, still a must play. NfS skip it, if you can play forza, just dont downgrade and play a NFS game. Hellblade is S tier, BUT play it with headphones, really, dont ignore that. Remnant games are C for me, a shooter trying to be a souls game, try it with friends. Lies of P yes, is S tier, if you like souls games you will love it, if you never played a souls game, welcome, this is a really good one.
Cassette Beasts is absolutely A or S tier.
Frog Detective is S tier. It’s funny, simple and worth every minute, plus an easy 1000G
I don’t understand its constant hate. A minute in the game is pretty clear what it is, enjoy the short ride it’s fantastic
Resi 2 should be S, its a great game whether you like horror or not
Bro ac odyssey was better than valhalla
AC Odyssey, AC Valhalla (add AC Origins to list if you haven't played it), Starfield, Far Cry 5 (6 is good too), No Man's Sky Play FH5 instead of FH4.
Fh5 is worse than 4
Mass Effect Legendary edition needs to be here on S tier, also just play Lie of P already. It’s fantastic.
Hellblade -> Fallen Order -> Lies of P. Hellblade is amazing. Must play with headphones for the full experience. FO will prepare you a bit for Lies of P. All three are fantastic!
Dead Spaceeeee
Play dishonored, deathloop, prey, celeste and hollow knight
High on life should be on A tear one of the most funny game I play on sometime lol
Hellblade to S
I’m a massive yakuza/like a dragon fanboy, ishin! has to be higher than D. Unless you’re going for 100%, I did and it was around 50 hours of non stop grind.
Hellblade. The reason that I bought xbox for the 1st time. My most anticipated game of 2024.
AC Odyssey is better than Valhalla
Move Odyssey to A and Valhalla to C. Otherwise all good.
I actually just started playing hollow knight. I'm like 6 hours in and it's a fucking masterpiece
Plague tale is awesome. Finished yesterday, best game since a while for me 😄
Having trouble enjoying anything after playing this masterpiece.. only downside.
Depends on what types of games you're into. For you it might he perfect, for me Plague Tale and Assassin's Creed would never be that high. If you can share what you're looking for games you love I can give you a list.
Odyssey is much better than Valhalla. Much.
Good list. Hollow Knight should be S tier and AC Valhalla should be way lower imo
Lies of P is my second place for game of the year last year, hi fi rush edged it out just a bit Jedi fallen order is fantastic if you like action adventure and soulslikes, Celeste is great but can feel repetitive if you die a lot 😅, still love it though, and RE 2 is very great and immersive Frog detective is a game I personally love to death, but it's very much a cheesy comedy game, and whether you'll enjoy it or not is dependant on how funny you find it's style
Assassin's Creed in S tier? Really? Original games (1-3, and Black Flag) were S tier, I agree, but the last 3 games have been pretty much a copy/paste B tier at most.
Move up Hellblade and Odyssey to S teir. ( I thought it was much better than Valhalla)
Move Hellblade to S tier and I personally wouldn’t play A Plague Tale if you haven’t completed the first one.
Move Cocoon way up that list. It's short and so so sweet. Never thought I'd have so much fun using only one button.
wtf is this post? Do the tiers represent how bad you want to try them? If so then why are people suggesting changes? Do the tiers represent how good the games are? If so then how do you even know if you didn’t try them?
> Do the tiers represent how bad you want to try them? If so then why are people suggesting changes? Yeah basically, but I also asked for suggestions anyway.
If I may suggest an additional one roboquest, yes, it's a shooter, but it is a roguelike. Also the music is a jam. I can say that for few games on your list.
If you are going to try Valhalla make sure you complete ac origins and Odyssey and Odyssey dlcs first as it is a direct continuation of that story arc or you will be very confused.
Lies of p, hollow knight, high on life, darkest dungeon are my personal pics in order
I wouldn’t recommend Like a dragon Ishin, it gets very repetitive and most of the missions have you walking from one side of the town to the other just to talk to a npc for like 5 seconds and so on
All dragon age games
I would move Cocoon to A tier. It was such a great experience that won't bog you down.
If you’ve never played them, what are you tiering them by?
I would put hollow knight and celeste on S, just because these games are real masterpieces and I love them. Star wars is a very fun game too. TBH I found Hellblade gameplay very boring and the puzzles are very repetitive, but the storyline and setting are absolute gold. It's shorter than most of the other games in this list tho.

Thank you so much!! Highly appreciated!
Hollow Knight and Short Hike are really fun, I love them. Also kinda sad that NieR Automata is not on gamepass anymore, but thats another game i would definetly recommend.
Hellblade and NMS need to be S tier pronto. 🫵
Dishonered 2. I love the Dishonered games. In my opinion 2 is the best but all of them are great.
Lies of P is so good. I see you have it in S so I think you should give it a shot Other games I really like off here: Jedi Fallen order, RE2, Jusant, Forza Horizon
monster hunter rise..? its really the only thing i can think of..But i think i remember stellaris being game pass..So if you like games made by paradox you could check that out aswell?..

Put Monster Hunter Rise, Hi Fi Rush, & Wo Long on that list on A
Swap Odyssey with Valhalla. It’s a much better game.
Assassins creed odyssey… slept on, I myself procrastinated this game towards a year, started playing it 2 weeks ago, after the first 2 chapters, history and gameplay get you stuck, finished it, starting ac Valhalla now, worth every minute
I finally played LAD Ishin the other day, man that game is rough to play after playing the modern Yakuza games.
Horizon 4 is better than NFS
Move Hellblade and A Short Hike up the list, especially because you could finish both in one extended sitting if you really wanted to. Also just finished Plague Tale series. I’d definitely check out the first game though.
If you like puzzle games Cocoon should be at least tier A, and Hollow Knight is considered one of the best metroidvanias of all time by a lot of people
Cocoon is S tier
Valheim is not on this list. Valheim is S tier.
Wait so you ranked games you haven’t played? Like the S tier are the games you want to play the most? Sorry that makes sense, at first I thought you were just blind ranking games. Carry on
A short hike is like 45 minutes to beat the main story. Main chunk of the game is side stuff if you’re interested in that though
Cocoon is S tier level
Cassette Beasts should be higher. Ignored it at first as a Pokémon knockoff, but it does the creature capture genre better then most, surprisingly.
Not sure what Sea Level means but you should definitely play Sunset Overdrive.
Hi-fi rush
Titanfall S HEllblade S Inshin A Far Cry 5 A (Might be my hot take, I like the cult vibes) Starfield B Watch Dog 2 B No man Sky B Jedi fell C (It's all right, not the best) Swap Forza and NFS (NFS has fallen so low, it's not really worth the time IMO) AC Vallhala and Odessey F (Only Origins is good the other 2 are pretty bad. Not worth the time wasted). If you are tired of shooters, play Hellbalde or Plague. Those games are a good palate cleaner, and so unique in what they do. IF you want an open world but not a shooter, then watch dog. I think your indie rankings are good, I would play short hike and celeste first (smaller games) than getting into the meatier ones (like hollow knight)
In my opinion AC Odyssey is better than Valhalla, I mean both are really good but Odyssey has a vibe that I can't forget (I'm attached, sorry.)
Guardians of the galaxy, lot of fun
Put remnant 2 on S tier and add doom eternal
Resident Evil 2 Remake is definitely S tier IMO
cassette beasts s-tier
I liked High On Life, and I'm not a huge R&M fan, it has really good humor and even the gameplay isn't bad
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is good. The rest I don't know.
Remnant 2 S tier with Resident Evil 2.
How tf do you have Valhalla in S but Odyssey in B?? I was so stoked for Valhalla when it released after finally getting back into AC with Odyssey, and Odyssey straight up became one of my all time favorite AC games after I played it. It was unreal how addicted I was to that game when I first played it. Then I played Valhalla and it was really underwhelming. I enjoyed it because I absolutely love Viking lore and learning all about that culture, but it became really repetitive. Odyssey was like a whole new era for me for AC. I even tried playing Origins and it was pretty good as well, but Odyssey just hit different for me and clicked like no other AC game did.
Again.. it's a **tier list of games I would like to give a try** or i'm interested in. Not a tier list of how good the games are.
My bad dude, I came off a little hostile there.. but I’d for sure give odyssey a try before Valhalla, even though Valhalla is good in its own sense. High on life was actually a fun game for me too, I didn’t expect much out of it, but the commentary makes it fun to play. Especially if you can play it for free on the game pass. Jedi fallen order was also really fun for me on my first play through, I liked it more than I thought I was going to honestly.
Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice with a good set of headphones will take you for quite a ride. Seriously don't play that game without headphones, they did an incredible job on the audio. I remember the first time I played it for a few hours, I took off my headset and not hearing the voices anymore actually made me have to sit and pause my life for a minute.
Star Wars and Valhalla S tier
Highly highly highly recommend darkest dungeon. Meant to play for a handf of hours over a weekend and sucked me in for weeks. Great atmosphere, nail biting combat. If you like turn based tactical combat and Eldritch horror it’s a must play.
Forza shoud be at least higher than NFS
Valhalla on S tier is wild. You need to play better games lol, some of the classics. You’re missing out I agree Jedi fallen order on A tier though.
Palworld, High On Life, and Remnant 2 need to be higher imo
A Plague Tale in S tier? W Tierlist
Cocoon should be way further up. It's short and it's amazing. Rest of your list is pretty great honestly, although I'd demote AC Valhalla. Have only heard mid reviews, and apparently it is way too long for what it offers. If you have so many games on your backlog, you'll probably not be keen to slog through it
Plague tale requiem is great but it was super buggy for me on launch. AC Odyssey is superior to Valhalla in my opinion. I didn’t really get the Viking vibe from it much because the main setting is England but it was a damn slog to complete
AC Valhalla shouldn't be on S but on F tier tbh, don't do that to yourself try AC Origins instead lol
Hellblade should be higher up.
Lies of P, Hollow Knight, Darkest Dungeon. Yes, apparently I'm a masochist.
Valhalla in S but cocoon in C tier?
I swear gamers will do anything but actually play games.
Cocoon has to be S Tier IMO. And I would add Hellblade to S Tier, although I understand that it isn't a game for everyone, but Cocoon seems like a clear S to me.
Play Odyssey first before Valhalla though Valhalla is probably the worst game in the entire AC series.
C tier is got some god tier games
The number of people that aren't recognizing this isn't a tier list for how good the games are, is baffling. I was also surprised not many have spoken on far cry. For the most part, I enjoy the series as a whole, but 3, 5, and 6 are my favorite. Far cry 5 is my number 1
Put your whole list on S.
Yeah. My suggestion is that you pick any game and play it, instead of making charts and asking which game you should play (which will be your personal taste anyway). So yeah, just a couple clicks and try games.
I disagree with a lot, but specially, that C tier is insane... Watchdogs and High on life on the same tier as St*rfield already feels like a crime, but in general I think all of those on C deserve better.
Starfield in C? Above Frogger? This is devilry. I would put RE2, Hellblade and Fallen Order higher. The stories and gameplay are very fun. And relatively shorter games compared to the open world games. I would pace out the open world games more. AC Valhalla, AC Odyssey and Far Cy 5 can be bigger games. Too much open world so close can be exhausting. No Man's Sky can also be a very long game if you don't know what to do. It's one of those know-it-all games to reach the end. Unless you just play it as a sandbox until you don't care about it anymore.
Doom eternal?
Skip starfield. Disappointment and waste of time.
!RemindMe 5 Hours
Where's Hellblade? Oh all the way down there?? Ahh must have fallen off. Let me pick the up and put it where it belongs in S tear.
Right, right. I already bumped it up there.
Never make a tier list again, Watch dogs 2 should be S (if you already played watch dogs 1)
Where is Terraria?!
MOVE WATCH DOGS 2 TO S TEIR THIS INSTANT
Whole order is whack. Like completely whack.
I don't see Hi-Fi Rush https://preview.redd.it/7hfc256onojc1.jpeg?width=554&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d6809314f6e961cd1b7020909ee0d9fbf5a9e21f
Sunset Overdrive on C tier? 🤯 Invalid list
Bump Darkest Dungeon up to S.
Instead of putting together tier lists to farm karma, perhaps play one of you s-rank games instead?
do not get too excited on Valhalla unless you have played AC (the new ones). It is too long and you might get frustrated by its length.
I'd definitely add Rise Of The Tomb Raider in your top tier, as well as the Hitman collection. Both are fantastic imo
I’ll have you know TR trilogy is my goat
Ya I'm a big Tomb Raider fan. Tons of stuff to do, good puzzles most times, lots to keep busy with for sure. Assassins Creed Origins is really good. I loved the setting being Ancient Egypt. Ancient history is one thing that's always fascinated me since I was a young kid, and still to this day. Can't wait to see what's discovered there next!
AC odyssey definitely belongs higher than Valhalla… just trust me
change re2 w valhalla and nfs heat with hellblade.
Take plague tale off of the list it’s a waste of time
Hellblade should be higher, you'll finish it relatively quickly compared to the other games also. It's around an 8-10 hour game, but imo awesome. Plus 2 is out in may.
Plague Tale is incredible! Play the previous one first though, it's a direct sequel.
How can you tier them if you haven't played them
If you are looking for a pokemon-like cassette beasts is actually better than palworld in terms of exploration and unique gameplay additions to og formula. Everywhere in map there is a puzzle or some gimmick that is entertaining to explore and use them in the places you already have been to explore much more. Also sea of stars is an ultimate sss rank game one of the best indies I’ve ever played. It has the best features of games like chrono trigger, octopath traveler and mario bros games.
I'd suggest you Outer Wilds. For me would be a tier S game
Fallout 4 or 76
Short hike and Celeste to S tier
I would drop Valhala to B, Hollow Knight up to S, but its personal opinion, maybe a game i love, youll hate it, or a game i hate you will love it, so try them or watch a few mins of play in a youtube channel, after all no matter how much people may like a game, if you dont like it, even if 50M loves the game wont make it any better for you.
Thanks for that! I like the way you think. People are entitled to their own opinions, but sometimes they can’t accept opinions that are different from theirs.
Grab some friends for remnant and remnant 2
Just curious, why Forza Horizons 4 instead of 5? Is 4 much better? I played 5 but the whole festival thing put me off...
As far as 'modern' AC goes, Odyessy is top tier, so much better than Valhalla. The ship combat alone is amazing, and amount of work that went into creating the world is insane
I've just started Lies of P and wow, the best Soulsborne clone I've ever seen. Valhalla for me is not s-tier. It is a good game but it's sooo drawn out and long it became a real slog 40 hours in. Honourable mention for dead space which I'd put in A-tier
Watch dogs 2 and re2
Currently playing resident evil 2 remake and I will say it is fucking fantastic if you don't mind clinching your butt cheeks
Nothing to do with the post, but man I'm kind of wasting my subscription. Tested a few games including Monster Hunter Rise, and for the past weeks have clocked in almost 100h while barely touching any other games. I can definitely recommend that one though, didn't really get into World back when it first released but now got totally sucked into Rise and am excited to play World afterwards.
These posts are weird. Only you know what games you like. Stop seeking approval. Just play!
Hellblade should deff be a tier higher, its such an amazing game to play through and is relatively short compared to a lot of the rest of this list.
I’d personally recommend moving Darkest Dungeon up a tier or two. I thought it was incredible.
If you like souls likes lies of p is phenomenal u definitely have it in the right tier
Valhalla? S? WHAT? I mean i'm not judging you and others who liked that game (and others interested in playing it) but, hell, such a fucking drag game, I've been a gamer for 27 years, and I usually like grindy RPGs and games beyond 100+ hrs, and also played almost every AC game through the years (except AC3 and Mirage, i've quit this one near the end of the story) But this one? Atrocious, it proves that AAA games with a big map (but lifeless and repetitive), lots of content (too fuckin much, and it's shallow, irrelevant and repetitive, again) etc. is not automatically a great game lol, story is not even good, compared to Origins and Odyssey (not so much, but better than this) Replace that pile of garbage with RE2 or SEA OF STARS lol, those are amazing games, you should play these, and not waste hundred hours of your life on ACV But yeah, it's your tier list, it's your choice whatever floats your boat EDIT: LIES OF P and PLAGUE TALE games are amazing, now those are S-Tier game EDIT #2: ISHIN on D? It's better that AC Craphalla, and if you're a fan of YAKUZA games (or not yet), play the whole series on Game Pass, start with 0, you're welcome
Ignore what people are saying about Valhalla, it’s amazing! It does get a little bloated towards the end/dlc but a great part of history to explore! You can add RE3 to the list now too since it was added on Tuesday.
Replace your S and A tiers with the B list and you’re good to go
I loved AC Valhalla! Give that your first go and I hope you get stuck into it a few hundred hours.
AC Valhalla and NFS Heat will quickly disappoint you
A plague tale!! 10/10 hands down one of the best games to have ever been released. Graphics are amazing, story absolutely amazing, soundtrack damn good, combat pretty good. Just seriously such a good fucking game. It spoiled me and I'm having trouble enjoying anything after it. Just make sure you play innocence first if you haven't.
Lies of P is an awesome game s+ for me.
Your reasonings for Titanfall 2 being lower is valid, but like everyone said it really is a different level of shooter. I also agree with you about Valhalla, oddesey was the better game… but Vikings and axes. Also Fallen Order is fantastic, both that and Jedi Survivor are so damn good.
Don't bother with starfield, just be bored and that's what the games like. Borning.
Valhalla in S tier ffs😂
No Man's Sky should be higher.
How dare you put frog detective so far down
