Banjo-Tooie

Banjo-Tooie is a platform video game developed by Rare and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64. It was first released on 20 November 2000 in North America and on 12 April 2001 in Europe, and later re-released as an Xbox Live Arcade game for the Xbox 360 on 29 April 2009. It is the second instalment in the Banjo-Kazooie series and serves as a sequel to the original Banjo-Kazooie. The story of the game follows series protagonists Banjo and Kazooie as they attempt to stop the plans of antagonist Gruntilda and her two sisters from vapourising the inhabitants of the game's world.
Development of the game started in June 1998, directly after the release of its predecessor. Several new features were cut from the game due to time constraints and limitations of the Nintendo 64 hardware. Banjo-Tooie features levels that are significantly larger than those of its predecessor and requires the player to complete various challenges such as solving puzzles, collecting items, and defeating bosses. It also includes a multiplayer mode where up to four players can compete in several minigames.

Supernatural & Paranormal

Tales of the supernatural can be&nbsp;a fantastic addition to a game&#39;s main storyline. Hauntings are very personal, so there&#39;s bound to be an interesting narrative to uncover, and everybody loves a good, blood-chilling ghost story regardless of whether players&nbsp;came to a game looking for cowboy antics or the chance to collect a bevy of battle-ready pocket monsters.&nbsp;

While&nbsp;plenty of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-survival-horror-games-of-all-time" target="_blank">great horror games</a>&nbsp;bring non-stop jump scares and genuinely <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/scariest-moments-in-video-games/jordan-breeding" target="_blank">terrifying moments</a>, the smaller, self-contained ghost stories tend to stick with players longer, as they often stand out against commonplace settings and narratives. While&nbsp;much of&nbsp;Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim&nbsp;is about slaying dragons, exploring dungeons, and hoping you don&#39;t run into a game-breaking glitch, the mission where you&#39;re asked to investigate a haunted house in a bustling city stands out for its off-kilter pacing and departure from the typical high fantasy mood.&nbsp;

The best video game ghost stories give players a more nuanced look at the characters they&#39;re interacting with and manage to reach a satisfying resolution within a couple play sessions. While many such tales are just well-designed sidequests, a few have ties to real-life occult incidents, making them all the more unsettling.&nbsp;
