Top 10 Most Original EA Games

Although EA might not be as respected as it once was in the industry, it remains a powerful publisher. It still competes with the likes of Activision and Ubisoft despite all its troubles. One of the main problems is that gamers have accused the company of not being innovative. With games like FIFA and Madden regularly selling millions of copies annually, EA has little incentive to be original.

Yet, that hasn’t always been the case. Throughout its history, EA has actually released some very unique games. Some of them are even more recent than you might think. Here are the top 10 most original EA games.

Unravel

If there is one genre that EA is not known for, it is platformers. Although the company has dominated the market with shooters, sports games, and simulators, platforming has never been a strength. That changed somewhat with the 2016 release of Unravel, a cute but challenging 2D sidescroller. Full of original puzzles that utilize the unique physics system, you take control of a character made from yarn. Additionally, Unravel comes with a deep and emotional story that drives the action forward.

Black & White

The anticipation for Black & White was huge, steadily rising until its release in 2001 for PC. The work of Lionhead Studios and Peter Molyneux, it tasks players with assuming the role of a god. The ultimate goal is to defeat an evil being known as Nemesis while building up life on various islands. Featuring lots of depth in terms of gameplay and mechanics, critics and fans alike loved the creativity it inspired.
