Comment ce classement est construit
- Les jeux sont classés sur le score presse agrégé sur 100 importé d'IGDB et Metacritic, jamais sur les grades propres à Tier.
- Un jeu n'entre au classement qu'à partir de 80 notes externes : une seule critique enthousiaste ne dépassera jamais un classique confirmé.
- Chaque jeu n'est classé que dans un seul genre, celui qui le définit le mieux : un même titre ne peut donc jamais dominer deux classements de genres différents.
- Les grades de la communauté, de F à S, s'affichent à côté de chaque jeu et ne sont énoncés comme un fait qu'au-delà de 5 notes Tier.
- Fenêtre de sortie couverte : de 1970 à 2026.
- 10 jeux figurent sur cette page, pour 1,812 notes au total.
- Les classements sont recalculés toutes les heures ; celui-ci a été reconstruit le 29 septembre 2026.
Top 10
01
Professor Layton and the Unwound Future
As with previous Professor Layton games, Unwound Future is an adventure game where the player solves puzzles offered by local citizens to progress the story forward, through dialogue and around 32 minutes of full motion video. The player moves about the game through still images of locations. The player can use the DS touchscreen to tap on non-player characters to start a dialog or to obtain a puzzle, and also can search anywhere on the background for hint coins, with some areas needing to be tapped several times to reveal a secret hint coin or puzzle. Puzzles are brainteasers of many varieties, including visual, math, and logic. There is no time limit to solve puzzles, and the player can get up to 3 hints at a cost of one hint coin each; a new feature in Unwound Future is a "super hint", costing 2 coins, that can only be bought after the other 3 hints have been revealed, but that nearly reveals the puzzle's solution. If the player is correct in solving the puzzle, they gain a number of "Picarats", a form of currency within the game. Guessing the incorrect answer will reduce the number of picarats the player can get on subsequent attempts. Players can visit certain areas in order to play undiscovered or unsolved puzzles that are left behind as the story progresses.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney − Trials and Tribulations (known as Gyakuten Saiban 3 in Japan) is the third game in the Ace Attorney series. Players take on the role of Phoenix Wright, a defense attorney known for taking on seemingly impossible cases. While the game focuses on a few specific cases, the overarching story of the Phoenix Wright franchise spans the length of the series, involving obscure characters from large families and intricate webs of lies, plots, and murder. The nature of the series remains generally lighthearted, something that's reinforced by its playful, anime-inspired visual style, but the nature of the crimes committed can be cold and downright disturbing. While the game's legal acumen is highly dubious, its aim seems to be more about producing comedic or stereotypically dramatic courtroom moments. Ace Attorney 3 makes light use of the DS touch screen, allowing the player to examine crime scenes and inspect evidence and character profiles. The top screen is used more for storytelling purposes, displaying various dialogue and conversations between characters. During these sequences the lower screen becomes a selection menu, displaying a series of questions to ask witnesses and further your investigation in search of evidence to use in defense of your client in each chapter.
