Corradon Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 These games are probably the ones that defined my youth the most, outside of spending years in World of Warcraft in later teens.

MysticMoonlight Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 My current list is: Sonic Colours (DS) - The best version of Sonic Colours. Ultrakill (PC) - Extremely fast, heart beating adrenaline shooter game where blood is fuel. Garou: Mark of the Wolves (Neo Geo) - One of the best fighting games that I always go back to. Mario Strikers Charged Football (Wii) - One of the best Wii games in my opinion. Very fun to pick up and play. Metal Gear Solid (PS1) - Hideo Kojima absolutely cooked a 5 star course with this.

Phanamatic Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 My all-time top 5: - Red Dead Redemption 2 - Black Myth: Wukong (Have to add it even though I haven't played because the gameplay I've seen is magnificent!) - Super Mario Sunshine (Holds a special place in my heart) - Batman Arkham Knight - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Patrick Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 (edited) My Top 5 The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Metroid Prime (technically the switch remaster is better but I'm nostalgic for the gamecube cover) Super Mario World Portal 2 Chrono Trigger For Mario Zelda and Metroid there are several entries that could work. My close pics for these series are: Zelda: Ocarina of Time, A link to the Past, Twilight Princess, Wind Waker, Breath of the Wild Mario: 3, World, 64, Galaxy, Odyssey Metroid: Super Metroid, Prime, Zero Mission Others that aren’t my personal favorite of all time but have a decent chance in a list like this that I’d be happy to see… Half Life 2 (better than 1 imo) or Portal 1 Skyrim/Fallout 4/New Vegas not sure which Forza Horizon 5 Final Fantasy 7 or 9 or some other FF An indie game like Hollowknight or Celeste or Dead Cells or something. Street fighter 2 or Tekken 3 or MVC 2 idk, Burnout 3 Something from Rockstar. I'd probably say RDR2 Tony Hawk 2 or 3 or SSX3 maybe idk. Doom 1 /2 / 2016 / Eternal IDK Metal Gear Solid 1 or 3 are super high up for me Dragon Quest 11 Ok last edit, I wasn't thinking of arcade games...Galaga, and Ms PacMan are my 2 I always think of. Resident Evil 4 You have to strike that balance of Nintendo which has to be there in some capacity. Valve to me should have 1 game of the 5. I think at least one game needs to be an RPG no question. I lean more JRPG but Bethesda/BioWare etc are also up there. If you only have one Nintendo game it needs to be Mario World imo.

ChuckP Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 (edited) Super Contra (Arcade) - I watched a guy beat this on ONE quarter and one man at Aladdin's castle I was assistant manager at. I was determined to do the same. I eventually did. Thats why this is my top choice. Super Mario World (Super Nintendo) - I bought this for my kids and fell in love with it also. Galaga (Arcade) - The very first cheat I learned about was on this game at Putt Putt Golf. Asteroids (Arcade) - I got very good at this game and could play for hours. Pepper II (Colecovision) - The first console I ever bought with my own money and this was one of the carts that came with it.

bradr999 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 (edited) My top 5 of all time (not necessarily in this order... I wobble back forth between which of these I like best): 1) Alone In The Dark (1992) 2) Sid Meier's Civilization 5 3) The Long Dark (This is the game I consistently return to when I'm 'between' games) 4) Mass Effect 3 5) Frost Punk All PC platform.

zyute Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Definitely a hard task to accomplish but I would have to say Grand Theft Auto San Andreas (Playstation 2) This is the Gold Standard for Sandbox games on the Playstation 2 Kingdom Hearts (Playstation 2) Spend countless hours growing up playing this and has a special place for me. Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga (Playstation 2) Dark and thought provoking as most Shin Megami Tensei games do. Red Alert 2 (PC) This has fond memories for me as my dad and I Would spend hours together taking on others together. Rogue Galaxy (Playstation 2) A beautiful game with characters i cared about in a open world that was very vibrant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drewmot Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 It's difficult to narrow almost 40 years of games down to a top 5, but here goes in no particular order! 1. Super Breakout - Atari 5200 - one of the first games that really grabbed my attention growing up, and still hasn't quite let go! 2. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - Super Nintendo - Wonderful adventure through the exciting world of Hyrule! Colorful and a very memorable soundtrack! 3. Super Metroid / Castlevania Symphony of the Night - Super Nintendo - (It's a tie, but they go so well together) Great (re)playability, story, and the relentless hunt to find everything! The reason for Metroidvanias! 4. Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver - Playstation One - Very engaging, cinematic story through Nosgoth! This game had great voice acting, animation, mood, atmosphere, music . . . 5. Halo: Reach - Xbox 360/Xbox One - Loved the original Halo games, but this one I played for days and days and days. First game I actually worked on speed running and became fairly proficient in multiplayer! Honorable mentions to Final Fantasy 7 - X, Tekken 3, Street Fighter 2 (all of them), Marvel Super Heroes, and Soul Calibur! Hundreds of THOUSANDS of fights!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
