That being said, at least Star Fox Adventures tried something new. The franchise produces more duds than hits, and features the worst characters in Nintendo’s catalogue. So, without further ado, here’s mine for this list: I think Star Fox is Nintendo’s worst franchise.

No “Top 5” list is complete without an inflammatory statement that makes everyone in the comments upset. Despite spawning one sequel in 2012, due to THQ’s closing, the future of Darksiders is still unclear for fans of this tried-and-true game. With over 1 million units sold and an 83/100 aggregated review score from Metacritic, Darksiders is a game that gave fans a familiar, but fun experience. The financially unstable publisher THQ (now defunct) took a big risk with Vigil Games’ new Zelda-inspired IP, but it actually seemed to pay off in the moment. There’s no denying that this game lifts heavily from the likes of Ocarina of Time and other 3D Zelda games.

You even get an omnipresent sidekick that chimes in with clues on what to do next or where to go. Whether you have to hookshot to new heights, push blocks onto buttons, find a dungeon map, or ride your horse across the open map, it all feels more than familiar. Players start in a connected overworld, travel to an area, go to its dungeon, obtain its item, defeat its boss, then return to the overworld to go to the next new area. Darksiders took the fluid, combo-heavy combat of a God of War title and fused it with the dungeon/puzzle/boss-filled Zelda adventure formula.

Sometimes, a creative work that took years of writing, coding, design, and development can simply boil down to three elements. Zelda + God of War + Apocalypse = Darksiders.
