* After the years and years of mockery and criticism of [[Doctor Who|the Daleks]], mainly regarding their impractical design and their weapons, the episode "[[Doctor Who~~/NS~~/Recap/S1 E6 Dalek|Dalek]]" addresses these criticisms to return the Daleks back into their previous threat level, by taking these criticisms and turning them on their head.

* ''[[Sonic Colors]]'' is SEGA's attempt at reconstructing the light-hearted feel of the classic ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' era, having decided the series has gotten ''way'' too serious as of lately. General consensus is that they succeeded. [[Surprisingly Improved Sequel|Spectacularly so]].

* [[Fire Emblem Jugdral]] is a [[Deconstruction]] ''and'' a reconstruction at the same time. The first part of the game ends up with {{spoiler|Sigurd and several of his fighters killed, the others are either prisioners or on the run, and they're all labeled as traitors}}, in the second, however, {{spoiler|Celice picks up the pieces, ultimately is succesful in his quest, is crowned as Emperor of Grandbell, and both he and his army meet a much happier ending.}}

* ''[[Planescape: Torment]]'' reconstructs many old RPG cliches, from [[An Adventurer Is You]] to [[You All Meet in An Inn]] to [[Warrior Therapist]] to [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] to [[Magnetic Hero]] to [[City of Adventure]] to [[Death Is a Slap on The Wrist]]. It even reconstructs many of the concepts of ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' which ''[[Planescape]]'' specifically deconstructed, reconstructed, or parodied ([[Offscreen Afterlife]], [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]], [[~~Always Chaotic~~ Evil]], [[What Measure Is a Non-Cute?]], [[Planet of Hats]], etc.) Players who pick up this game today are often surprised to see this take on all the old [[Role Playing Game]] tropes in a game released in 1999.

* [[Skies of Arcadia]] rebuilt the heroric, swashbuckling fantasty RPG hero and world after [[Final Fantasy VII]]'s deconstruction and fleet of imitators.

* When viewed from the perspective that it's essentially a sequel to [[Deconstructor Fleet|Knights of the Old Republic 2]], ''[[Star Wars: The Old Republic|Star Wars the Old Republic]]'' is an attempt bring Star Wars back to its space fantasy roots.
