87 Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection

(#9) Perhaps the most successful PlayStation franchise in history, Naughty Dog's Uncharted made its way to Sony's newest console this year (and, for the first time, PC) with this two-game set featuring remastered versions of 2016's Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and its stand-alone 2017 expansion Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. The two games have never looked better.

“Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection is a masterpiece, with both games receiving impressive improvements. Better visuals, faster load times, and DualSense integration, two wonderful titles have been made even better.” —God Is a Geek
