What makes the game our top pick is not just the 3D effect but the cancellation of the ‘slowdown’ issue. The fans who have been following video games for a long know about it, and well, the developers did a great job ruling it out. 

Sonic The Hedgehog 2 – An all-time favorite 

SEGA released this classic even in the cartridge form as it stormed the markets during release. It was one of the best games from the developers, as fans could not find room for error. So, if you want the total Sonic experience, this might be the best option. 

Dementium Remastered – The ‘long-lost’ Nintendo horror game that might give you nightmares 

For the last one, we have Renegade Kid’s Dementium Remastered. As we all know, the DS or 3DS didn’t really have a library for the horror genre, as companies tried and failed miserably. But this title stood strong, exceeding all expectations.

Compared to its original, the Remastered has much-enhanced graphics, controls, and an extra spice of fear. So, if horror is something that you dig, pick this one out.
