20 Most Replayable Video Games Of The Decade (So Far)

18. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

Developer Platinum Games are one of the most gifted and cherished in the medium today. If you're unaware of their past efforts, just know that they brought you Bayonetta, helped revive the Transformers name in game form following Michael Bay's atrocious movies, and are gearing up to do the same with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Such love for their source material helped them deliver one of the most ridiculous Metal Gear games of all time, too, which is really saying something when the series includes water-walking vampires and sentient A.I.s born from the potency of American patriotism. For Rising it's straight-up Devil May Cry-territory, featuring lightning-fast combos that see the MGS 4 cyborg version of Raiden turn all his victims into sashimi. There's an ultra-cool 'Blade Mode' that slows time to a crawl and lets you slice in any direction you like, the resulting mess seeing enemies reduced to a pile of meat-cubes strewn across the floor as you pose for a stat screen championing your efforts. Oh, and you replenish Raiden's health by reaching into your enemies and ripping their spines out with your bare hands. Done.
