    I’m not sure i fully understand this list, is it 8 awesome games with mediocre graphics that are good without top quality graphics, or is it 8 aewsome games with top quality graphics that would still be awesome if they had mediocre graphics?



  3. MiMiC on June 24, 2021 at 1:15 am

    What about alienation??



  4. Traffy Art on June 24, 2021 at 1:15 am

    The upcoming Kingdom Hearts?



  5. Milocraftkri on June 24, 2021 at 1:15 am

    Umm… Overwatch has good graphics though



  6. Light Hawk on June 24, 2021 at 1:17 am

    0:20 "We’ve stayed away from all the very biggest games" and at 1:30 we get overwatch, one of the biggest multiplayer games currently…. Sorry guys, but someone didn’t think this through



  7. MrWhite on June 24, 2021 at 1:18 am

    "we’ve stayed away from the biggest games"

  12. jimbo121 on June 24, 2021 at 1:21 am

    +1 on Dragon Quest Builders, game is INCREDIBLE!



  13. teppolundgren on June 24, 2021 at 1:22 am

    No, thanks. I’ll stick with blood and balls.



  14. Stephen Venture on June 24, 2021 at 1:22 am

    Oceanhorn reminds me of Zelda, alot



  15. PhoeniksoftheStorm on June 24, 2021 at 1:28 am

    at first I thought that it was about games that are awesome while the graphics aren’t



  16. Will Carter on June 24, 2021 at 1:30 am

    What about Xcom?



  17. J Willo on June 24, 2021 at 1:30 am

    how do you start off by saying you avoided bigger titles and then put overwatch on the list..



  18. RemiTosh on June 24, 2021 at 1:32 am

    I think I know who did the gameplay for "Job Simulator". I Looked like OfficialNerdCubed gameplay to me.



  19. Sarim Khan on June 24, 2021 at 1:32 am

    GARDEN WARFARE did it before Overwatch

    and Team Fortress did it before them



  20. Xerxes Kyle Villanueva on June 24, 2021 at 1:32 am

    I was about to stop the video then i heard rob..hahaha



  21. hinata1ize on June 24, 2021 at 1:34 am

    Ratchet and Clank was one of my favorite games as a kid. I love those guys.



  22. DaviGG on June 24, 2021 at 1:35 am

    Se goza.



  23. Victor Albuquerque Paes on June 24, 2021 at 1:35 am

    so….
    nothing about FURI?
    very sad about that.



  24. SuperMosh1990 on June 24, 2021 at 1:37 am

    Knack is a great game with not so great graphics.



  25. necroside007 on June 24, 2021 at 1:39 am

    Majd more lists like this



  26. Tyler Kahle on June 24, 2021 at 1:40 am

    I love how you stayed away from the larger games! I had no idea some of these games even existed.



  27. Charles Pendragon on June 24, 2021 at 1:42 am

    God I love gaming, so many different games to play, from the gory blood and murder of DOOM, to beautiful and serene worlds like ABZU. So many types of games.

    And they say Video games are just about and encourage graphic violence, vulgarity, and killing. I WILL BEAT THE !#&*@%%&#*@#$$%%^$&^&%*$^&# OUT OF ANYONE WHO THINKS VIDEO GAMES CANNOT BE PEACEFUL! Your corpse won’t be found.



  28. ManaSora on June 24, 2021 at 1:44 am

    Not only you put Overwatch in this (and you said you won’t put BIG GAME in), but most of these games’ graphic are great (or even better). So there you are 1 dislike from me.



  29. Worlds_Greatest_Detective on June 24, 2021 at 1:45 am

    and all those games sucks



  30. MrQ12elve on June 24, 2021 at 1:45 am

    Steamworld dig



  31. Justine Peralta on June 24, 2021 at 1:48 am

    Playstation Access can you please do a feature for the best indie games? I usually game on the vita so indie games are really nice to play on the go



  32. bosscoolaid 101 on June 24, 2021 at 1:49 am

    Overwatch isn’t like other shooter, hahahahhahaha it’s a great game and all but has the source of a free to play game



  33. SrmegaCabra on June 24, 2021 at 1:55 am

    Overwatch came out of nowhere for me. All the fanfare leading up to release was pretty cool but I had no interest in playing it. About two weeks after it was released I picked up a copy because it was the only game that I was mildly interested in at the time, nothing else caught my eye and I thought it would be good to kill some time. As soon as I started playing I knew I made a wise purchase, haven’t stopped playing it since and it’s remained insanely enjoyable.



  34. TheSolistGamer on June 24, 2021 at 1:55 am

    I hope in the future there will be no more gore games



  35. Dominic Kane on June 24, 2021 at 1:57 am

    Sly Cooper



  36. LexPlay on June 24, 2021 at 1:57 am

    I played the demo of DQ: Builders and loved it so much more than I thought I ever would. I haven’t bought the game, I’m very particular considering how pricy games are for me and my paychecks lol. Will get around to it eventually though. Games like Minecraft are a little too overwhelming for me, so I appreciate a ‘world builder’ that has a story to guide me through doing stuff. =D



  37. MapleDryad on June 24, 2021 at 1:57 am

    so… ocean horn is essentially a updated 2D Zelda, and you had my like at "a weird dream with cyborg ninjas and genetically engineered gorillas"



  38. Crais Daniel on June 24, 2021 at 1:59 am

    Dammit, I really want to play ratchet and clank, but I can’t afford a PS4

    WHY MUST I BE A PC GAMER?



  39. vlorfus on June 24, 2021 at 2:02 am

    Overwatch has just been run to the ground for me. Everyone talks about it, everyone plays it, everyone wants me to get it, and I just don’t care about the game. I liked it at first but then it just got annoying how overrated it was.



  40. David Miller on June 24, 2021 at 2:02 am

    Once again the crew at PlayStation access has missed a prime opportunity to include maybe the most under appreciated PlayStation character/game of all time Sly Cooper a non-graphic video game tht had me hooked for sometimes days when I was younger and even still to this day



  41. princessthyemis on June 24, 2021 at 2:03 am

    YES! Transistor is on here!!!!!



  42. Michael Thompson on June 24, 2021 at 2:07 am

    World of Final Fantasy should’ve totally been on this list.



  43. ItsRequiemTV on June 24, 2021 at 2:07 am

    Has anyone ever said that video games have to be graphic to be good?



  44. Greg on June 24, 2021 at 2:08 am

    I’ve been following Ratchet and Clank since the beginning. I played the reboot yesterday and I was not disappointed at all. Felt just like a classic Ratchet and Clank. Just Prettier and much harder. Then again I was on Hard mode



  45. bring back hawkmoon on June 24, 2021 at 2:10 am

    The Life of Black Tiger is missing from your list.



  46. Dean Krol on June 24, 2021 at 2:11 am

    Great to see somebody on here giving Ratchet and Clank a bit of love, I’ve sat through top 10 best this and top 10 best that and never see this duo’s games mentioned anywhere. Ratchet and Clank have some of the most fun, outlandish and imaginative games out there for various consoles. We need more games like this and less Fifa 5001’s or COD Cookie monster warfare…(although that probably would be a lot of fun if I’m being honest) 🙂



  47. mrTii on June 24, 2021 at 2:13 am

    One: OF COURSE games don’t have to be graphic to be great. They never have.
    Two: Overwatch?



  48. Playah on June 24, 2021 at 2:13 am

    the new ratchet and clank game is so unbelievably good.



  49. Owen McCafferty on June 24, 2021 at 2:13 am

    Crash Bandicoot???



  50. Imanol Jesús Del Pozo on June 24, 2021 at 2:13 am

    0:47 that looks so much like zelda
