Perfect Dark is the best FPS ever made, a title never bettered in over two decades. It has more ideas in one game mode than most other titles stretch over an entire trilogy, with a huge array of multiplayer customisation.

I’m amazed one idea that nobody has ever stolen is the scaling difficulty where it’s not just the AI that gets harder but you also have more mission objectives. You actually miss out playing it on easier settings, encouraging you to get better.

The biggest annoyance is the lack of cheats which the devs existed but they forgot to add in! Some of the speedrunning objectives for the cheat many are incredibly tough.
