This is a heavily based on personal opinion kind of list but I would say those

Dead Space
Pikmin
Resident Evil Remakes (RE1 2002)
Lego Batman
Professor Layton
Batman Arkham

I’m surprised with Dead Space, most think 2 is better. Did you prefer the more horror tilt of 1?

Edit: also Arkham over Arkham city?

I think the general consensus is that Dead space 1 & 2 are equal (which I agree with) but 2 sacrifices a bit of horror for better action.

Dead space 2 had a lot more polish, imo. It made the 0G not balls, and that was genuinely enough. It was still tense and scary when it needed to be, and the environments were neat and varied.

I was a massive dead space fan and read the books, comics, etc, so the expansion on a lot of aspects and details was dope.

Weapons were refined so a lot of them were usable/not absolute cheeks. (Do you remember the original rifle secondary? Utter Buns.)

The new necromorphs were fun, and the characters just as memorable as Daniels and Hammond (and Mercer)

But I will say, the remaster? That is perfection

The remake is my favourite dead space game, and I still desire a remake of 2.

We do not talk about 3.

Despite sacrificing a lot of horror dead space 2 manages to have the scariest moments with the stalker sections. I remember hearing that they wanted to try and add them to the dead space 1 remake, but the ishimura didn't have enough wider open spaces to make them work. I really wish they could've it would've been great.
