Phew...

And so concludes the first tier we'll be talking about on this list.

As expected, most of it is licensed garbage, which I don't think anybody will be against in terms of placement, while also giving a taste of my own opinions and mindset towards video games.

There will be more licensed games later in the ranking, with some actually getting quite high up.

It shows that any game can be good when the passion of those behind it is high enough to create a great bit of entertainment for fans.

I think easily the most controversial pick would be Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly. While I've heard some people think it is just fine, its design and technical failures make it a rather painful experience and a rather unenjoyable game for me along with others. Other than maybe some parts regarding graphics and perhaps some pieces of music, everything regarding the game is fundamentally flawed, and, given the game's horrifying development, it isn't hard to see why.

No underrated picks yet, although we will start seeing some in the later tiers, although not for a while unfortunately.

However, I don't think the entries here are really too out of the ordinary.

Sometimes seeing the worst can make us appreciate the better ones more.

So, let me know what you think of the tier list so far! Is one of your childhood favorites lower than you thought? Or is it expected? Say what you think down in the comments!

And get strapped in, for there is a much larger set of games on the next tier and more burning hot takes incoming...
