Namco began operations in 1955, whereas Bandai did so in 1950. First coming together as Namco Bandai Games in 2006, the two businesses. Then, in 2014, they moved to Bandai Namco Games. They now go by the name Bandai Namco Entertainment. Oh, well, choose a name, right? Regardless of names, any games published under one of their combined umbrellas will be taken into account.
Here are some best Bandai Namco games ever made.
Enslaved: Odyssey To The West
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, created by Ninja Theory and released by Namco Bandai, is an epic journey deserving of its grand name. The game makes up for its lackluster fighting with a compelling narrative and memorable characters. The events of Enslaved: Odyssey to the West take place in a post-apocalyptic world that has been devastated by conflict, and Monkey and Trip play a crucial role in the plot.
Little Nightmares
Tarsier Studios created Little Nightmares, which Bandai Namco then released for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One. This game is essentially a scary horror platformer. Little Nightmares’ visual style is comparable to that of LittleBigPlanet, yet the tone is considerably different. Other elements in the game can raise suspense, such as bright eyes that one cannot see and long, dangling arms attempting to seize our yellow-coated hero. Yes, Bandai Namco is aware of the worth of a good independent game.
Dragon Ball FighterZ
The plethora of Dragon Ball video games that have been released throughout the years makes it simple to get lost and feel as though you are in a bottomless hole. However, it only takes one powerful buoy to have you wade back to the surface. And in this instance, it’s Dragon Ball FighterZ, the top-tier fighting game from Bandai Namco. Of all, the game would never have been the ground-breaking success it is today if Arc System Works hadn’t been there to grease the wheels. Together, the developer and publisher produced a massive story filled with gripping combat and distinctive cel-shaded cinematics. Some would even claim that, overall, it performed better than the majority of Bandai’s long-running fighting games. But that discussion belongs somewhere else, of course.
Divinity: Original Sin 2 – Definitive Edition
Even when placed next to games like Souls and other Bandai Namco kingmakers, Divinity: Original Sin 2 – Definitive Edition has every right to be pinned up on this list. Its superior multiplayer capabilities, which won the developers a BAFTA for Best Multiplayer Game in 2018 over PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and Fortnite, are, of course, the primary reason for its existence. You can play Divinity: Original Sin 2 alone or with up to three players, much like the first game. The Void, which is located in Rivellon, keeps calling forth supernatural beings whose only goal is to upset the balance of power. You must make an effort to restore the kingdom, either by yourself or as a group, as a Sorcerer with untapped potential. Epic battles, boundless energy, and a tonne of strategic narrative come naturally along with that.
Project Cars 2
Slightly Mad Studios created Project Cars 2 and Bandai Namco released it for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Even if the name isn’t particularly creative, this studio knows how to build excellent racing games. It veers between a simulation and a full-on vehicle war, finding a happy medium that will please both fan camps. Beautiful visual elements abound.
Ni No Kuni: Wrath Of The White Witch
For the PS3, Level-5 created Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, which Namco Bandai released outside of Japan. This project was authorized by the incredible Studio Ghibli. It looks like one of the studio’s movies thanks to the plot, characters, and overall artwork. Ni no Kuni has a monster-taming mechanic that is reminiscent of Pokemon, despite the real-time battle being very different from Nintendo’s brand. Overall, this is a timeless role-playing game for the present.
Dark Souls III
If Elden Ring hadn’t been released earlier this year, Dark Souls III would have been ranked higher. The two (obviously) share a similar niche as-is, and FromSoftware’s most recent flagship is just a better game. Having said that, we’re still discussing one of the best role-playing games ever created. Every Dark Souls game could be listed as such, as it turns out. However, the third option is the most approachable. Additionally, it’s quick and enjoyable, and those who want to develop builds may do so easily.
