There has yet to be a game in the intervening 25 years that has scratched the same itch as freelancer for me. Perfect blend of story and sandbox.

The thing for me wasn’t so much the game choice but the placement. It feels like they took a big bag of 100 of the best games and randomly picked them out one at a time. If you start to ask is Y really better than X on this list then it starts to make less and less sense.

• Paysage d’Hiver - Winterkälte
• Immortal - Battles in the North
• Sacramentum - Far Away from the Sun
• The Ruins of Beverast - Rain Upon the Impure
