The Most Unique Art Style Concepts in Video Games
20. Rocket League & Back to the Future
This iconic car comes with a lot of unique features and makes it an absolute must-buy for RL players. The fire under the wheels, the unique sound of the engine, and the beautiful design. They've captured the DeLorean well. | © Psyonix LLC
19. Destiny 2 & Halo
The old Bungie meets the new. Two of the biggest shooters united for this, and it wasn't just about nice skins for our Guardians, we also got famous weapons from Halo, like the Energy Sword. | © Bungie
18. Call of Duty & Snoop Dogg
Everybody knows loves Snoop Dogg as a rapper. Some of you may also know how much he loves gaming from his streams. But did you know that he's long been collabing with CoD, starting with a voice pack from way back in Ghosts? | © Activision
17. Poker Knight Series & Borderlands / Team Fortress
If you're not interested in looking at the (p-p-p)poker faces of your friends, you could try looking at Claptrap from Borderlands or Heavy from Team Fortress. The idea of these characters playing poker is fun, but unfortunately, you can't buy this collab anymore due to licensing issues. | © Telltale Games
16. Lego Dimensions
Who would have thought that we would get a game where Homer Simpson meets Ethan Hunt from Mission Impossible and the silent protagonist from Portal 2? The gameplay isn't incredible, and we have to buy every character separately, but the idea is still very fun. | © TT Games
15. Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright & Ace Attorney
Both puzzle games are great for brain training and both have unique characters, but together they were even better. There was one problem with this game; it had too much dialog and fewer puzzles than we'd expected, but it was still an incredible collab. | © Capcom
14. PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale
The wannabe Smash title from Sony might not be the best clone ever made, but it does have some great characters in the roster. Besides Sony's own heroes like Kratos and Ratchet, there were also fighters like Dante, Big Daddy and Heihachi Mishima. | © Sony Interactive Entertainment
13. Dead Cells & Return to Castlevania
It's been a while since we've had a 2D Castlevania game, but Dead Cells has filled that gap nicely. And DLC "Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania" brought us back to the place we love, the enemies we hate, and the bosses that haunt our dreams. What a great homage! | © Motion Twin
12. Soulcalibur VI & The Witcher
Let's be honest, fighting in the Witcher games was never the main draw. Thankfully, we got Geralt of Riva in Soulcalibur to make up for it. And it's great to pull off some cool combos with your sword while throwing a few Ignis at the enemy. | © Bandai Namco
11. Dead by Daylight & Silent Hill
Dead by Daylight have given Silent Hill fans a little something to enjoy until the Silent Hill 2 Remake comes along. Kudos to 505 Games for this one. | © 505 Games
10. Mario & Rabbids
Nintendo's beloved hero side-by-side with Ubisoft's most hated creatures, what could go wrong? The Rabbids may not be for everybody, but the game is great fun. Maybe it's because we can shoot Rabbids down? | © Ubisoft
9. Sea Of Thieves & The Legend of Monkey Island
A straightforward yet brilliant crossover. The most iconic pirate in video game history is now in the world of Sea of Thieves. We've finally been able to explore Monkey Island in 3D and reunite with old friends. It's a simple yet beautiful addition. | © Rare
8. Tekken 7 & Akuma
Yes, there was a Tekken vs. Street Fighter game, but it was terrible. Fortunately, both companies still wanted to work together, which led to the introduction of the demon from Street Fighter in Tekken 7. | © Bandai Namco
7. Mortal Kombat X & Various Horror Films
A match made in heaven (or in this case, hell). Alien, Predator, Jason, and Leatherface not only looked great on paper, but they played well together too! | © Netherrealm
6. Monster Hunter World & Final Fantasy
This event was a real treat for all of us Hunters out there! It brought a whole new monster to the game, the famous Behemoth. With a questline and an armor set, we got to enjoy a crossover experience that was just perfect. It was such a great match, but wow, it was a tough fight! | © Capcom
5. Kingdom Hearts: Disney & Final Fantasy
The idea sounds like a fever dream, and, to be honest, that's what the games look like. The saga of Final Fantasy and Disney characters traveling around locations, from the bedroom in Toy Story to the Ancient Greek world of Hercules, is just amazing. But with time, the story got so complicated that only the hardcore fans knew what was going on. | © Square Enix
4. Mario & Sonic
The Mario & Sonic series features characters from the Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Mario Bros. taking part in the Olympics, it's an absurd but great collab. | © Nintendo
3. Super Smash Bros. Series
Technically not since 2000, this began in 1999. Still.
At first, the series only included Nintendo's own characters, but the Super Smash series evolved into a fighting game collab between dozens of franchises. And it has been incredible to witness. | © Nintendo
2. Marvel vs. Capcom Series
It all started with X-Men, and it's so great to see how far they've come! I think we can all agree this is still one of the best fighting games out there.
I know the series is going through a bit of a rough patch at the moment, but I really hope that the re-release of Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes will return the series to former glory. | © Capcom
1. Fortnite & Everything
Fortnite is THE game when it comes to collaborations. There's so much to love, from the missions and weapons to the bosses and skins. It's truly unique; I can't think of another game where you get to see so many different heroes and characters playing against each other. It's like a dream come true! | © Epic Games
