But we’re completely confident that our final selections are deserving candidates and a wonderfully diverse representation of the genre’s best to date. Sometimes we even contradicted the site's own reviews. You can debate each choice, each placement, and we hope you will!

The game also offers a built-in reference guide that you can view at any time to learn more about Scottish culture. Clandestiny seamlessly weaves traditional Scottish myth and lore into a modern story line. Whether it's the cowardly Andrew, the diabolic Murthly, the handyman Fergus, or any of the myriads of characters you meet, you won't soon forget any of them. The quirks and well thought out (and acted) characters also deserve a special mention. The Disney-quality cutscenes are beautifully animated.
