How this ranking is built
  • Games are ranked on the aggregated critic score out of 100 imported from IGDB and Metacritic, never on Tier's own grades.
  • A game only enters the ranking with at least 30 external ratings, so a single enthusiastic review never outranks a proven classic.
  • Community grades from F to S are shown next to every game, and only stated as a fact above 5 Tier ratings.
  • Release window covered: 1970 to 2026.
  • 5 games are listed on this page, carrying 632 ratings between them.
  • Rankings are recomputed hourly; this one was last rebuilt on 12 October 2026.

03 Commandos 3: Destination Berlin Commandos 3: Destination Berlin 2003 · 86 ratings Third part of the legendary tactical strategic saga from Pyro Studios 70 /100
04 Commandos: Strike Force Commandos: Strike Force 2006 · 35 ratings Commandos: Strike Force is a first-person shooter video game and the fifth installment of the critically acclaimed Commandos series. It is developed by Pyro Studios and published by Eidos Interactive. Released during the first months of 2006, the game makes a departure from the first four games. Although the missions are set up in a similar fashion (several different objectives, some to be achieved through stealth, others through use of force) and in most occasions the player is allowed to change between different characters, this is the first game in the series to apply a first-person perspective, like many other World War II-inspired games, in contrast to the overhead view of the earlier games. Hence, the game is far more similar to the Medal of Honor or Call of Duty games than to earlier entries of the series. 69 /100
05 Commandos: Beyond the Call of Duty Commandos: Beyond the Call of Duty 1999 · 105 ratings You have been selected for active service in the Commandos Corps, and must now mobilise in a series of 8 new dangerous missions.

Plus new vehicles, buildings, weapons and 2 levels of difficulty will satisfy both Commandos veterans and new recruits. 66 /100
