MediEvil (1998)
Sir Daniel Fortesque may not be the most enduring PlayStation mascot from the first system’s era, but the MediEvil series has had some surprising staying power ever since the first game launched in 1998. A Tim Burton-esque marriage of horror and whimsy, MediEvil is bursting with grody imagery, and though it’s all cartoonish and goofy, that didn’t stop me from fixating on the scary shit when I played it in Kindergarten. MediEvil is clunky to play by modern standards, but its charm and humor are pretty timeless. Maybe that’s why Sony keeps remaking it. The PS4 version is a solid way to play it. — Kenneth Shepard
