Every Source Engine Game Ranked From Worst to Best - Part 4 (20 to 1)

The Source Engine is legendary — but let’s be real: not every game built on it is a masterpiece. Some are timeless classics. Some are fascinating experiments. And some… well, should’ve stayed buried on a forgotten hard drive next to someone’s Half-Life 3 fanfic.
In this video, I’m finishing my mission to rank EVERY SINGLE SOURCE ENGINE GAME, from genre-defining legends to hidden gems you’ve probably never heard of.
That’s right. All 79 games.
This is Part 4 — covering positions 20 through 1.
We’ve climbed out of the jank swamp and made it to the top of the mountain. Expect iconic franchises, modern marvels, and games that changed the industry forever — plus a few hot takes that might spark some comment-section wars.
This is part of my ongoing series where I dive deep into classic game engines and rank every single game made with them. If you're into nostalgic chaos, obscure titles, or you just want to see whether that random Source mod you played in 2007 still holds up — you’re in the right place.
How did I rank them?
Each game was judged based on:
Fun Factor
Quality & Polish
Graphics (for its time)
Legacy & Cultural Impact
Innovation (or the glorious lack thereof)
Most of these rankings come from my own experience playing or researching every game — but I also factored in critic reviews, player feedback, and a frankly worrying level of digital suffering.
