Best Experience Checker non-steam games

Last update March 18th 2025

Best Experience Checker is a steam curator who aims to let you know when games need patches or mods to work properly, if there's a better version available, softlocks/crashes to avoid, or if you're good to go by just by installing the game and running it.
Since it's a steam curator, it is directly tied to games released on said platform, meaning I was unable to tell others about games exclusive to consoles or not on steam until now. If you're interested, be sure to check us out.

Do Ctrl + F to find games/franchises. Ordered alphabetically and within franchises, by release order*, always international/USA release unless stated otherwise**
*If a remake/remaster/re-release is better than the original, it would take its place instead.
**USA roms tend to work faster and weigh less in filesize, but feel free to go with the european or jp version, as long as it matches the NA release, unless stated otherwise.
