10. Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time

While every game in the original Prince of Persia trilogy stood alone as excellent titles in their own right, the original release of Sands of Time is the one that fans most fondly remember.

Because although every entry in the series retained the signature time-bending gameplay that cemented this action-platformer as a Ubisoft staple, the unique atmosphere of this first title perfectly captured both the whimsical fantasy and emotional heft that the narrative demanded, rather than opting for the more grim-dark approach of the later sequels.

But while an upgrade to the graphics and art style could easily embellish the already inspired elements of the original, it's the gameplay itself that could be made perfect with a full remake.

Improving and refining the combat of the first game would go a long way in making the title's rougher sequences more in-line with the rest of the experience, while tweaking the controls to be more precise would make those ill-timed leaps to certain death feel less cheap.
