These are the 100 best games of all time

97. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (2003)

What it’s about: When the evil Darth Malak threatens to unleash a Sith armada on the Galactic Republic, you must take control of a Jedi Kight and save the day. How you do so is entirely up to you, though, so will you walk in the light or fall to the Dark Side?

Why we like it: The years might not have been kind to KOTOR in terms of graphics and gameplay, but when it comes to a story, few RPGs can compete. Honestly, KOTOR remains one of the best-written games of all time, and people still talk about its shocking twist. Arguably, though, the game’s legacy is the introduction of Darth Revan, a Sith Lord so cool he’s still spoken about with Revan-ence (sorry, not sorry) 20 years later. Why do you think Disney kept him canon?
