Ranking of Franchises - Personal Favorites
If you are like me, chances are a good portion of games you like belong to the same franchises. After all if you like one, it stands to reason you'd like more in the same vein. This is a rough ordering of my tastes from best to worst. I must have meaningfully played at least 2 games in the series for inclusion
- God Tier-My Absolute Favorite Franchises I'll buy anything it releases at launch pretty much
- Tier 1 - favorite franchises that I'm a bit more rational about, always have a great time with these
- Tier 2 - Franchises I love, but I don't need to get these right at launch
- Tier 3 - Franchises I enjoy a lot or ones that that I haven't played enough of to determine whether they belong to tier 2+
- Tier 4 - Solid franchises, I enjoy these and will squeeze them when I have the time
- Tier 5 - Franchises I have to be in the right mood to play
- Tier 6 - These franchises are ok, not necessarily my thing
- Tier 7- I don't know why I continue to buy these
- Deponia Tier - I hate these games
Change Log:
- July 4th 2017- After completing Breath of the Wild, I think Zelda deserves to be No.1 again. Been a very long time since a game made me feel that way. Metroid also shoots up to number 9, jumping two tiers now that I have played Super Metroid. I really should have played the series more before now.
- November 30th 2020 - Added Yakuza (Tier 2) and Valkyria Chronicles (Tier 3) as I have now played at least 2 games in each. Promoted Castlevania to Tier 4
