''For quite some time, Resident Evil: Revelations has been the 3DS’s best game. There’s been a number of good games on the system, not just Mario games either, but Revelations remained at the summit. This has all seemingly changed with the release of Fire Emblem: Awakening.''
Video game sequels like Assassin's Creed Origins, Doom (2016), and Fire Emblem Awakening were just what these franchises needed to be revitalized.
Lmao what’s Halo Infinite doing on this list?
Who would ever say Halo Infinite saved the Halo franchise
Thought the same - very bizarre!
RE7 though... my God, what a shift over RE6! That franchise was definitely going in the wrong direction, so RE7 was a welcome return to form.
Resi 6 was and still is the worst entry in the series.
7 was a great turnaround, despite people’s concerned about the switch to FP perspective.
DMC5 definitely helped the franchise after the whole DmC debacle. Whilst it was a decent action game, it was a far cry from the series and the characters we knew.
AC Origins is my favourite in the entire AC series. Despite the switch to a more RPG style of gameplay - the setting, soundtrack, length, etc were all amazing. sadly followed up by the ridiculously long and “more of the same” Odsyssey.
I don’t feel it’s fair to say the franchise slipped with Doom 3, Doom 3 was incredibly atmospheric and took the game in a different direction but there’s no denying Doom (2016) was sensational.
Halo 4 & 5 were disappointing but Halo Infinite definitely didn’t save the franchise? What?
I'm going to have to go with SMB 3. I was around when SMB 2 first came out and people hated it. 3 is still arguably the best mario game created.
"Halo Infinite"? Worse Halo ever. Whoever made this list just lost all credibility.
In future lists of a similar nature I have a suspicion Final Fantasy XVI will feature.
After becoming acquainted with the colorful cast of adults in Fire Emblem Awakening, the story soon turns into a tale of time travel involving the children of all these characters.
Are these the best Fire Emblem first-gen characters? Fire Emblem Awakening is not only filled with tactical battles and intense strategizing, but also colorful characters who sometimes fit into this medieval world and sometimes seem better suited to a slice-of-life anime.
As a side note, everyone should buy this game
This game should be considered by many to be GotY. This review/article was spot on.
I'd go so far as to say it is EASILY the best handheld, ipad/mobile game made.
I agree this is a reason to pick up a 3ds. If you are a gamer you'd enjoy the hell out of Fire Emblem.
Fire Emblem: Awakening is my handheld Game of the Year so far. While the year is still young, Fire Emblem set the bar really high.
Easily GOTY 2013 for me thus far, and I primarily play on PC and consoles. Unfortgettable characters, thought provoking storyline, infinite replayability, freeform dynamic narrative with real consequences for death, that AMAZING support/marriage/S Rank system... sorry Infinite, but you don't even come close.
Also, it's even in the free game promotion. Such a result. As someone said above, I hope that critics give this the proper respect it deserves when considering GOTY and even end-of-generation articles.
Revelations was very good and the closest thing RE has gotten to real survival horror in years (which actually isn't saying much), but I don't think it's an undisputed contender for best 3DS game. There's plenty more great titles.
I'm only 5 hours in FE:A and I'm really enjoying it. It feels like I'm only scratching the surface, too.
