I stopped going on IGN for articles and news and haven’t been able to keep up with game/news for a couple years. Gameranx def brought me back into gaming with their Friday news recap vids, before you buy vids, and top 10 lists. You guys provide such a engaging channel with the fans. Thank you guys

[montanadash]

Idk what my life would be if i never stumbled upon my first "before you buy" video like 4 years ago. Gameranx is literally a nightly thing for me. These guys' opinions and voices permeate throughout my household lol. I love this channel ❤

For platformers, I really want jak and daxter to have a huge come back and for Ratchet and clank to be more consistent on its releases. They're some of the best platforms ever. I'd put sly Cooper in there too

So glad Soma is being talked about. The story really is something else. Absolutely unforgettable.

I love the direction this channel is going. It’s so nice to have gamers share useful perspectives with casuals like me to enrich our collective gaming experience. For that, thanks you guys!

That said, I feel like recommending Jedi FO as the best place to start playing Soulsbourne is sacrilegious heretical madness!

But again, I really appreciate y’all’s content. Cheers!

Borderlands is what got me into first person shooters. The humor and gun variety is what drew me in.

[kareningram]

Soma is unforgettable. What a gut punch. I'm really glad you had this on your list.

I was suprised Dishonored wasn't on the stealth recommendation, but I can kind of understand how it might be hard for a beginner, still it was my first stealth game and I have to say the experience was amazing

[JaLock]

This is a great list. There should be a second video with more casual genres. Maybe things like puzzle, strategy, sports, simulation

[chrisjags]

Bioshock got me into FPS games, and it was perfect because you couldn't really die in any punishing kind of way

[metrostills]

Love this topic! I’ve played almost all of these, but I’m taking your JRPG suggestion. You have to do a round two with sports games, building/management sims, real-time strategy and maybe metro-vania.

[Iradicos]

My list includes some classics, many of which were the ones that got me into each genre:
FPS - Halo Series
Action Adv - Spiderman
Racing - NFS Underground
RPG - Fable 1
JRPG - Paper Mario
Platformer - Yoshi's Island (or anything Kirby)
Stealth - Assassin's Creed 1 or 2
Survival - Minecraft
Fighting - Smash Bros 64 or Melee
Souls - SW: Jedi Fallen Order
Survival Horror - Luigi's Mansion

These aren't necessarily my favorites of these categories, but are ones that could easily be picked up by someone new to the genre.

You could do a whole other list about the genres you missed, like RTS, MMORPG, Puzzle, Arcade, etc.

Would be fun to see a sequel to this which is about the roughest in the genre. Great, but rough. Like Bloodborne or Sekiro instead of Jedi Fallen Order.

[hoofhearted]

Gameranx has honestly replaced every other video game channel for me. Before You Buys are almost always informative enough for my needs. I love these Tops 10 lists. always something unique, and sometimes theyre really useful lists like this that bring attention to games I might not otherwise care about. Keep up with the great work guys.

[Raikage_Raisil]

There definitely must be a part 2 because I know they’re some genres missing. Like sports or open world. I didn’t even realize “souls-like” became a genre. Sub genre, sure, I guess so.

[corpseyes]

For online games, I really recommend the elder scrolls online. It was my first mmorpg and I had a real blast with it! You can play the whole game completely solo, you only really need an Internet connection. If you loved the world of Skyrim it's a must-play imo. While very different, the world is still the same (although in a completely different time period).

[VongolaXZax]

Nothing's better than variety in gaming.

Whether old school, side scroller beat em up or a 3rd person game single player game.

[DarkE]

For 3rd-person action, I would vote the Uncharted series as a better beginner-friendly option. Good story, solid combat mechanics, fun platforming

[MoonFaceNick]

If you’re intimidated by soulslikes you HAVE to try Asterigos: Curse of the Stars. It’s definitely a soulslike but it’s relatively very forgiving and it’s a hell of a lot of fun, even for soulslike veterans.

[carlosdemianpaluditenor]

loved how you picked games for starting players so they can have fun and learn before raising up the difficulty. GOOD JOB MAN!.
