#8. FINAL FANTASY 8
After a game as wildly successful as Final Fantasy 7, most companies would have made a sequel that just did more of the same. But with Final Fantasy 8, Square Enix made a weird left turn, resulting in one of the most divisive games of the series. But we love it for how bold and unique it is. Not all of its ideas are executed well – the magic system is far from perfect, for instance – but a deep and layered progression system, engaging battles, and a dense story, it was a game that – if you could get into it – would dig its claws deep into you and refuse to let go till the very end.
