The Best Contemporary Video Game Series

We love excellent games, but we love excellent series even more. Here is our editorial selection of the best (active) video game series.

10. Persona

Developer: Atlus
First game release year: 1996
Number of main installments: 6

Persona is a real phenomenon in the gaming world, with adaptations in the form of a series of books, radio plays, television series, novels, plays or concerts. The Japanese RPG series, which gets increasingly high ratings from installment to installment, usually tells the story of a group of students from a modern high school. But this is an urban fantasy world where there is no shortage of paranormal phenomena, other dimensions and various disturbing quirks.

Interestingly, despite its somewhat infantile setting, the series tackles quite serious topics such as analytical psychology and religion. The creators delve into the human psyche and the typical problems of teenagers. Fighting strange creatures are interspersed with school tests and love affairs. It's a strange mix, but what's even more strange – it works and snorts!
