Cómo se construye este ranking
- Los juegos se clasifican por la nota agregada de la crítica sobre 100 importada de IGDB y Metacritic, nunca por las notas propias de Tier.
- Un juego solo entra en el ranking a partir de 80 valoraciones externas, para que una única crítica entusiasta nunca supere a un clásico consolidado.
- Cada juego se clasifica en un único género, el que mejor lo define, de modo que un mismo título nunca encabeza dos rankings de géneros distintos.
- Las notas de la comunidad, de F a S, aparecen junto a cada juego y solo se afirman como un hecho por encima de 5 valoraciones en Tier.
- Periodo de lanzamiento cubierto: de 1970 a 2026.
- 20 juegos aparecen en esta página, con 8,574 valoraciones en total.
- Los rankings se recalculan cada hora; este se reconstruyó el 29 septiembre 2026.
Top 20
01
Super Mario World
A 2D platformer and first entry on the SNES in the Super Mario franchise, Super Mario World follows Mario as he attempts to defeat Bowser's underlings and rescue Princess Peach from his clutches.

Ghosts 'n Goblins
Ghosts 'n Goblins is a platform game where the player controls a knight, named Sir Arthur, who must defeat zombies, ogres, demons, cyclops, dragons and other monsters in order to rescue Princess Prin Prin, who has been kidnapped by Satan, king of Demon World. Along the way the player can pick up new weapons, bonuses and extra suits of armor that can help in this task. The game is often considered very difficult by arcade standards and is commonly regarded as one of the most difficult games ever released. The game is considered by Gametrailers.com to be the world's second most difficult game ever made. The player can only be hit twice before losing a life (the first hit takes away Arthur's armor, and the player must continue on in his underwear until completing the level, or finding replacement armor). If the player loses a life, he is returned to the start of the level, or the halfway point if he has managed to get that far. Furthermore, each life can only last a certain length of time (generally around three minutes), the clock being reset at the start of a level. If the clock does run out, the player instantly loses that life. After defeating the final boss, but only with the cross weapon (if the player does not have the cross weapon, they will be prompted that it is needed to defeat the boss and restart at the beginning of level 5 and must repeat round 5 and 6 again regardless if the weapon is obtained immediately or not) for the first time the player is informed that the battle was "a trap devised by Satan". The player must then replay the entire game on a higher difficulty level to reach the genuine final battle.
