10. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII

The staggering success of Final Fantasy VII led to a slew of spin-offs, including the prequel, Crisis Core. Initially released on the PSP, this instalment focuses on SOLDIER member, Zack Fair, while he was allied with the treacherous Sephiroth.

Even though Crisis Core could've been pure fan-service (and it is), it has a lot to offer. It has an accessible battle system, magnificent graphics, and expands on the lore and backstories of key characters. On top of that, Crisis Core is surprisingly emotional. Despite the fact Zack is doomed from the start, nobody was ready to watch such a heart-wrenching death.

But Crisis Core has its problems.

Although the bosses are well-designed and have inventive tactics, they're too easy. If Zack regularly performs the sub-missions, he'll level up very quickly, allowing him to wipe the floor with the most powerful monsters. By the time Zack has maxed out his most devastating spells, the spiky-haired commando can win the last few scraps in a minute flat.

Though these extra missions aren't mandatory, they're worthwhile since it's the only way to access the most coveted spells. Zack will grow strong enough to dominate almost any battle, even if he only completes half the side-quests.
