We all love retro games but let’s face it: Objectively some modern games are simply better. For example I’d argue that Pokémon Crystal is brilliant and one of the best GBC games but BW and BW2 are simply better in pretty much every way.
However the opposite can also be true. Which retro games are just better than their newer equivalents?
For me it’s a three-way tie: Galaga, Millipede, and Pac-Man World 2. I love other genres, such as RPG, FPS, and ARPG. For me, games in those genres get outdone constantly because of better graphics and special effects. I might lean towards The Bard’s Tale, simply because the story is really fun, but I think there are modern games that could be better.
