Hoe deze ranglijst is opgebouwd
- Games worden gerangschikt op de samengestelde criticiscore op 100 die van IGDB en Metacritic komt, nooit op de eigen scores van Tier.
- Een game komt pas in de ranglijst vanaf 80 externe beoordelingen, zodat één enthousiaste recensie nooit een bewezen klassieker voorbijstreeft.
- De community-scores van F tot S staan naast elke game en worden pas als feit gesteld boven 5 Tier-beoordelingen.
- Gedekte releaseperiode: 2008.
- 11 games staan op deze pagina, samen goed voor 2,849 beoordelingen.
- De ranglijsten worden elk uur herberekend; deze is op 29 september 2026 opnieuw opgebouwd.

World of Goo
World of Goo is a multiple award winning physics based puzzle / construction game made entirely by two guys. Drag and drop living, squirming, talking, globs of goo to build structures, bridges, cannonballs, zeppelins, and giant tongues. The millions of Goo Balls that live in the beautiful World of Goo are curious to explore - but they don't know that they are in a game, or that they are extremely delicious. Congratulations, and good luck!

Braid
Braid is a puzzle-platformer, drawn in a painterly style, where you can manipulate the flow of time in strange and unusual ways. From a house in the city, journey to a series of worlds and solve puzzles to rescue an abducted princess. In each world, you have a different power to affect the way time behaves, and it is time's strangeness that creates the puzzles. The time behaviors include: the ability to rewind, objects that are immune to being rewound, time that is tied to space, parallel realities, time dilation, and perhaps more. Braid treats your time and attention as precious; there is no filler in this game. Every puzzle shows you something new and interesting about the game world.

AudioSurf
Audiosurf is a puzzle/rhythm hybrid game created by Invisible Handlebar, a personal company created by Dylan Fitterer. It's track-like stages visually mimic the music the player chooses, while the player races across several lanes collecting colored blocks that appear in sync with the music. The music used in the game is chosen from the user's own library, from almost any DRM-free format, as well as standard redbook CDs; in addition, Audiosurf includes the entire soundtrack to The Orange Box as part of the download.
