Best Video Games for collectibles

#1

Weapons, skills, throwables, and lore pickups give runs a strong collecting hook, and at least one player found the chase highly addictive.

#2

Points of interest and collectibles give players a reason to leave the driver's seat and make Felicia Bay feel more like a place worth exploring.

#3

Diary pages and letters add useful family history and are enjoyable to seek out for players interested in the lore. They give the otherwise sparse exploration more narrative texture.

#4

MyTEAM’s card XP and improved Exchange give more cards a reason to stay useful instead of becoming instant throwaways.

#5

Hidden finds and unlockable ship activities add light optional exploration, though they are not presented as a major source of depth.

#6

Codex entries and relics give explorers extra goals, with relics feeding modifiers and challenges. The lack of a clear per-level tracker makes completion hunting less convenient.

#7

Collectibles often reward exploration with mythology, story details, cosmetics, or progression, and the Lion Dogs and Oni Portals are particular favorites. Some completion-oriented tasks still feel repetitive or low-value.

#8

Collecting notes, fruit, and secrets can be highly satisfying for completionists, but required collection sometimes crosses into frustration when progression forces repeat runs.

#9

Cats are the standout collectible and can be genuinely fun to hunt, but some completion tasks feel more like checklist work than meaningful discovery.

#10

Gears, logos, stickers, and hidden items give exploration a steady stream of targets, and many players enjoy hunting them down. Completionist cleanup can become tedious or feel like filler.

#11

Optional collectibles add lore and reasons to search, but the rewards are not always strong enough to make exploration feel essential.

#12

HUT collectibles are criticized for demanding too much time and effort to earn, making progression feel daunting.
