When E3 2020 was canceled last year due to the pandemic,&nbsp;developers had to delay all of their upcoming projects to E3 2021. While it was unfortunate that so many games got delayed, E3 2021 made up for last year&#39;s cancellation as there were so many big reveals&nbsp;at this year&#39;s E3. Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, and many more held detailed press conferences and presented all of their upcoming games being released this year and in the future.

This list of the best E3 2021 games announced, which includes&nbsp;Battlefield 2042, Back 4 Blood, and Elden Ring,&nbsp;brought in vibrant and detailed presentations of gameplay that got gamers excited with its creativity&nbsp;and high definition graphics.

While the PC used to be the de facto&nbsp;way to hit the virtual green, there have been a surprising number of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-popular-sports-video-games-today/ranker-games" target="_blank">great console releases</a> in recent years. From the standard classics like PGA Tour&nbsp;to epic RPG-style games like&nbsp;What the Golf?, there&#39;s really no shortage of ace games. Whether you&#39;re looking for a few good golf video games to up your putting game or just want to sit back and slap a few balls around with your friends (or complete strangers), this list ranks some of the best golf games on the PS4, Xbox, PC, Switch <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-popular-mobile-games-today/ranker-games" target="_blank">and even&nbsp;mobile</a>.

PGA Tour 2K21&#39;s graphics are so sublime that&nbsp;you&#39;ll feel like you&#39;re really out there on the green with the wind blowing in your face (even if it&#39;s just the fan), while&nbsp;multiplayer party games&nbsp;like Infinite Minigolf&nbsp;are obviously designed to be a bit more lighthearted. These types of games play with physics and various other mechanics, and if you&#39;re not paying attention, you could end up making a huge mess on the green. But that&#39;s all right&mdash;sometimes that&#39;s just part of the game.

Known for introducing an entirely new generation to <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-punk-bands-of-all-time" target="_blank">punk rock giants</a> like the Dead Kennedys and The Suicide Machines, the first two&nbsp;Tony Hawk&#39;s Pro Skater games are&nbsp;back with new characters, new levels, and dozens&nbsp;of new songs.&nbsp;By combining&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-very-best-classic-video-game-songs/brian-gilmore" target="_blank">a sublime soundtrack</a>&nbsp;with solid&nbsp;gameplay mechanics, the first two games helped <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/tony-hawk-games/video-game-info" target="_blank">solidify the series</a>&nbsp;as one of the best sports franchises&nbsp;of all time. And while there have been plenty of subsequent games over&nbsp;the intervening decades, few have come close to capturing the way we all felt when we first started busting&nbsp;out 900s in step with&nbsp;Jello Biafra and&nbsp;Les Claypool.

Easily one of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-popular-video-games-today/ranker-games" target="_blank">most popular games</a> of the year,&nbsp;Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is a rumpus&nbsp;battle royal platformer where 60 players compete in various mini-games (25 to be exact) as they fight it out to become the last player standing.

Throughout the various rounds, players are constantly barraged with various obstacles as they make their way to the finish line.

These days, the market of video game consoles is dominated by the big three: Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft. Back when games were first coming about, however, there were plenty of other gaming companies that were trying to get their hands on a piece of the pie. While some of these smaller companies were successful,&nbsp;many others crashed and burned (with some harder than others). Plenty of console developers came about only to shut down a few years later, and even big names like Sega and Nintendo weren&#39;t immune to producing a few duds. Just look at&nbsp;the&nbsp;Virtual Boy.

While gaming is an industry that is <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-popular-video-games-today/ranker-games" target="_blank">constantly looking forward</a>, we&#39;re taking a step back by&nbsp;looking&nbsp;at some of the most&nbsp;obscure gaming consoles you&#39;ve probably never heard of, most of which failed catastrophically. Sure, there are plenty&nbsp;of old video game consoles&nbsp;that were exclusive to Japan, but for&nbsp;this list, we&#39;re focusing solely on consoles that were released in the States.

When most people think of the manliest things in the world, a nice scented candle&nbsp;usually isn&#39;t on the top of the list. Still, men have a sense of smell, just like everyone else, and there&#39;s no reason a guy can&#39;t put on some relaxing music, fire up <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/weird-candle-scents/robert-desalvo" target="_blank">a badass candle</a>, and get his relax on. To this end, there are tons of manly scented candles that aren&#39;t only marketed for men, they&#39;re designed and engineered specifically for their interests.

From the classic smell of bacon in the morning to those quintessential man cave scents and more, these 15 candles are some of the manliest on the market. If you see a manly candle (or MANdle, as they&#39;re often called) that looks like it&#39;ll make a great addition to your basement, or bathroom, or bedroom, or whichever room you want to smell like a man of good taste,&nbsp;go ahead and vote that baby up so readers can&nbsp;see which of these supremely manly scents&nbsp;are&nbsp;the manliest of all.

History&nbsp;buffs and strategy fans tend to have one thing in common: a passion for <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-best-xbox-one-war-games/ranker-games" target="_blank">great war games</a>. And while war simulations centering on World War <a href="https://www.thegamer.com/best-world-war-games-ranked/" target="_blank">I&nbsp;and II</a>&nbsp;have become more popular in recent years, take a step back and you&rsquo;ll see there are plenty of great Civil War video games&nbsp;too. Whether you&rsquo;re looking to play online or are eager to take a deep dive into one of the most tumultuous times in US history, these 15 PC games include some of the best and most comprehensive in the genre.

While most of these games let you assume the role of either the Union or the Confederacy as you attempt to lead your army to victory, some games are more historically accurate than others. In War of Rights, for example, players take part in <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-strategy-games/ranker-games" target="_blank">massive strategic battles</a> that are often brutally detailed, while Ultimate General: Gettysburg is known for including some of the most historically accurate gameplay maps in gaming history.&nbsp;Darkest of Days, on the other hand, takes a different approach as players travel back in time in hopes of saving some of history&#39;s biggest figureheads. Do you have a favorite Civil War game that you&#39;ve plugged hours and hours into?

Easily one of the biggest and most acclaimed <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-strategy-game-series/kyle-townsend" target="_blank">strategy series</a> of all time, it&#39;s hard to find games that are on the same level as Total War. With 14 releases under its belt, the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-total-war-games/kyle-townsend" target="_blank">Total War franchise </a>continues to dominate the RTS genre, and with the latest installment, Total War Saga: Troy, the series has probably covered more historical events than your local history professor. While good strategy games are hard to come by (especially good historical ones), this list features 15 amazing games like Total War that are worth playing.

With stellar series like Rome,&nbsp;Shogun,&nbsp;and&nbsp;Medieval, the competition&nbsp;really needs to be considered &quot;high strategy&quot; to come anywhere close to the level of detail and complexity&nbsp;Total War&nbsp;features in each of its offerings, so not every strategy game compares. Fortunately, there are some amazing examples of real-time, turn-based, and tactical battle simulation games that explore all aspects of historical combat.

While most of these games are PC-only, there are plenty of great games like&nbsp;Total War <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-popular-ps4-games-today/ranker-games" target="_blank">on the PS4</a> and Xbox One as well. Conquer&#39;s Blade and&nbsp;Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIV (which is definitely recommended for fans of Total War: Attila)&nbsp;are two great examples that&nbsp;hold up just as well on other consoles. Check out the list below and vote up all the games you&#39;ve played (and liked). Who knows, you just might find a new favorite RTS epic.&nbsp;

While the MMA video game genre&nbsp;may not be as prolific as, say, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-nba-2k-games/ranker-games" target="_blank">2K Sports</a>,&nbsp;the best UFC games are a weight class above other generic mixed martial arts games.

At first glance, the idea of a&nbsp;system like the<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/most-popular-xbox-one-games-today/ranker-games" target="_blank"> Xbox One</a> being an ideal console for fishing simulators sounds, well, kind of fishy. But that&rsquo;s really not the case. Video games and fishing go back decades, and while the graphics and controls&nbsp;have evolved, so too have the mechanics. In fact, there are plenty of great Xbox One fishing games that are so realistic they&#39;re as close as you can get to the real thing&nbsp;short of&nbsp;heading outside with a rod,&nbsp;reel, and some tackle.&nbsp;

While there aren&#39;t that many&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-ps4-fishing-games/kyle-townsend" target="_blank">great fishing games </a>out there, we&#39;ve compiled some of the biggest and most popular below. Not surprising, the bulk of these&nbsp;fishing games on&nbsp;Xbox One come from Dovetail Games, a developer known for pumping out ultra-realistic simulation games.

Sure, games like <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/video-games-about-pirates/kyle-townsend" target="_blank">Sea of Thieves</a> feature some seriously detailed fishing side quests, but this list is focusing specifically on fishing simulation games.

Play Sports with Your Thumbs

We all love to play sports with our thumbs, and while Nintendo&#39;s known for introducing new ways to game, the Switch is still somewhat lacking in the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-popular-sports-video-games-today/ranker-games" target="_blank">sports department</a>. That&#39;s not to say there aren&#39;t plenty of great sports games on the Switch; rather, there aren&#39;t as many as, say, the PS4 or Xbox One. Where the Switch shines, however, is in its console exclusives. In fact, the best Nintendo switch sports games are often the ones that focus on Mario, Toad, Luigi, and all your favorite Nintendo superstars.&nbsp;

Whether you&#39;re looking for <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/madden-nfl-games/ranker-games" target="_blank">football games</a>, soccer games, or even hybrid golf simulators, the&nbsp;Switch&#39;s <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-free-switch-games/ranker-games" target="_blank">growing library</a> has plenty of options (unless you&#39;re looking for wrestling games, in which case you&#39;re basically out of luck). You can play as your favorite athletes in FIFA or&nbsp;NBA 2K21,&nbsp;or put the peddle to the metal in Rocket League. In&nbsp;Mutant Football League, you can smash the living daylights out of your opponents as you coast into the end zone, and in&nbsp;Golf Story you can work on your putting skills while leveling up your character.

Pokemon

It wouldn&#39;t be a <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-pokemon-video-games/ranker-games" target="_blank">good Pok&eacute;mon game</a> without a memorable villain (or 15). Everyone remembers their favorite starters or favorite legendary Pok&eacute;mon from each title, but the games&#39; antagonists don&#39;t always get the same amount of attention. Even those of us who despise the villains have to admit, playing Pok&eacute;mon just wouldn&#39;t be the same without them. From the plucky young thieves to the evil corporate overlords, we&#39;ve seen it all through the years, and yet each iteration feels unique.

Throughout all the&nbsp;villainous teams, some trainers have been worse than others. Giovanni, for instance, is a ruthless crime lord who seeks power above anything else, while&nbsp;Ghetsis&nbsp;proclaims he&#39;s working to liberate&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/ugly-pokemon/tamar-altebarmakian" target="_blank">all the&nbsp;Pok&eacute;mon</a> once and for all.&nbsp;

Not every villain in the franchise is created equal, but there are plenty who stand out among the rest.

The Victorian clothing, the brass designs, and the awesome airships are common staples when it comes to steampunk. As a subgenre of science fiction, steampunk games first began to appear around the late &#39;80s and early &#39;90s, when PC games like&nbsp;Myst&nbsp;as well as&nbsp;the early Final Fantasy games were first taking shape. Known for fusing futuristic technology with 19th-century&nbsp;designs, steampunk isn&#39;t confined to the realm of talented cosplayers and science-fiction novels. Depending on the franchise, <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/all-steampunk-games-list/reference?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">steampunk video games</a> can cover a number of different related themes, from space-age pirates to fictional Victorian cities&nbsp;and more.

Determining which steampunk games are the best requires a deep dive back through the years to find the ones that may have been released years or even decades ago, but still hold up in 2020. Massively popular games like BioShock: Infinite and Dishonored are standing pillars in the steampunk canon, but lesser-known games like Alice: Madness Returns and even RPG epics like Skies of Arcadia are definitely worth mentioning.

While there are a broad number of factors that help determine what makes a great steampunk game great, this list features&nbsp;some of the most acclaimed in the series. Best of all, most of these games are either available on modern consoles, Steam, or both.&nbsp;

One of the most prolific genres in video games is <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/all-fighting-games-list/reference" target="_blank">the fighting genre</a>, which has been around in one form or another since the development of a second joystick. That made it possible to beat up your best friend or younger sibling without getting in trouble with your parents. More than that, it introduced a means of competition to video games that remains incredibly popular today.

Fighting games that do well in terms of sales also do well in professional esports competitions, and many games released special editions intended for that purpose. Because they sell like hotcakes whenever they&#39;re released, fighting games rarely stop with only one title, and many have evolved into massive franchises and series, which can sometimes include dozens of&nbsp;games over decades of development.

Over the years, there have been quite a few fighting game series that have developed into full-blown franchises, and these 14&nbsp;are arguably the best. Whether they&#39;re still going strong or are still strong in our minds, check out the all-time best fighting game franchises ever made, and vote up all your favorites.

Ever wondered what are the hardest games on the PS4?&nbsp;Creating a video game is no easy task, as developers constantly need to toe the line between making a game challenging but also keeping it fun.

Nintendo

When the&nbsp;Super Nintendo Entertainment System launched in 1991, it took gaming to a whole new level. The increased memory and graphics capability of the system made it possible for games to feature far more detail, with improvements made to layering, sound, and animations. The SNES was a massive hit, and over the course of its life, <a href="/list/all-super-nintendo-games-list-of-snes-console-games/video-games-by-console" target="_blank">more than 700 titles </a>were released. While some were fairly simple, this list&nbsp;ranks all the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/90s-games-that-are-too-difficult-for-modern-kids/nathan-gibson?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">hardest SNES games</a> that are still regarded as some of the most challenging and unforgiving&nbsp;titles ever made.&nbsp;

Upgrading the console from the original Nintendo Entertainment System to the SNES didn&#39;t just improve everything exponentially, it also made a lot of games even more difficult than the ones that were released on the NES. The term &quot;Nintendo Hard&quot; may have been dubbed for the NES, but the developers must have kept it in the back of their minds while programming for the new system because there are some SNES games that are almost impossible to beat. How many of these games do you remember playing? More importantly, how many did you actually manage to beat?
