My Top 10 Favorite Games of All-Time (As of 2022) 

Love how you didn't spoil the picks with the timestamps. Love seeing the passion behind someone else's favs

Kingdom Hearts and Jak and Dexter...just got hit with a huge wave of awesome childhood nostalgia. Thank you and awesome list!

Some of my personal favourites: Ocarina of Time, The Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Final Fantasy IX, EarthBound, Half-Life 2, Inside, Undertale, The Last of Us 2, Okami, Banjo-Kazooie, Metroid Prime, Outer Wilds, Resident Evil 4 and Elden Ring.

My top 10 starting from 1 1. Dark souls 2. Borderlands 2 3. Final Fantasy 7 4. Bioshock 5. Halo 6. Doom 7: DMC 5 8: Crash Tag Team Racing 9: Street Fighter 2 10: Resident evil The top two I can honestly play forever without getting bored, bought them multiple times and been playing them for years. Others I put the first game since I love the series as a whole. If I’m cheating then Dark souls 3 would be up there with the first Dark souls.

Love top 10 lists! Looking forward to more

A Link Between Worlds got me back into gaming as well right after 4 yrs of college w/o gaming! Loving your content so far!!

1. Shadow Man (remastered is now definitive version, but previously Dreamcast) 2. Metal Gear Solid 2 3. TimeSplitters Future Perfect 4. Sonic 3&K 5. Crazy Taxi 6. Resident Evil 4 7. Super Mario Bros 3 8. Immortal Redneck 9. Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 10. Whatever I’m feeling that day. Lol

I’m glad Hades made the list. The game blew me away the first time I played it, couldn’t put it down even after the platinum. Great video!

Nice list Emily! Some of my personal favorites are Stardew Valley, Rune Factory 4, Fantasy Life, Dragon Quest Builders, Yo-Kai Watch (the entire series), Ys VIII, Ni no Kuni, and Atelier Ryza! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your top ten lists! :)

Excellent video! I love top 10 lists like this because no two are alike. Love seeing A Link Between Worlds on here! You rarely hear about it anymore but it’s one of the best Zelda games!!!

Even if I didn't play those games, Its always nice to see people talking about their favs videogames with a smile in the face. Thank you very very much for sharing your top!

Really enjoyed your list!

Great top 10 I can't wait to hear about your other lists 😀

Recently came across your channel and I have been enjoying it quite a bit! Love the Top 10s.

Awesome list. I too haven't beaten breath of the wild yet because I just like to explore and experience everything. I think sometimes taking your time of the game really helps you enjoy the most out of it. It's like not wanting to finish a really good book.

I've really been enjoying your videos recently, Emily, and found your channel after Femtrooper shared a recent video! Loved seeing your Top 10 of all time, and was especially happy to see Jak & Daxter represented. I feel like it's a series often overshadowed by Ratchet & Clank, but J&D was one of my first PS2 games. Exploring Sentinel Beach, the goofy writing, and all of the different collectibles made for an excellent 3D platformer. Great list overall and I'm looking forward to tuning in to your other videos. Keep up the great work!

Great video! Love seeing all the favorite games of youtubers, i think a couple of my favorite are ocarina of time and ace combat 4

A wonderful top 10! 😃💖👍Quite different from mine...and yet I can totally agree to these amazing games! Solid picks!👌 And a wonderful video (Love the spoiler-resistant timestamps, very thoughtful)

Very Respectable choices, looking forward to your following videos

Those were some awesome picks!😊 I knew we would have a lot of beloved games in common!😄 I love seeing people talk about their all-time favorite games - it really reveals a lot about a person😉🔍

It's crazy how similar our gaming journeys are, as I didn't play much of anything during college or grad school either, but was a very avid gamer before and try to stay active now after. As far as nostalgia, I would say jump back in! I can't think of any of my favorite childhood games that don't hold up. There are so many great memories! Popping it in for the music alone will send you back in time. It will be a wonderful. In addition, you can talk about the same 5 games over and over it won't bother me, but will nudge me more to play them! I have really enjoyed the handful of your videos I have watched. Honest and thorough analysis with a solid tone, cadence and editing. I will stay tuned in. Thank you for your productions!

Excellent list! Quite a few would be in my top 10 as well. God, the backlog of games I have would probably take several long life-times to get through. It's a shame because you pretty much have no choice but to pick some and pass on others ;_; That's compounded even more when you enjoy mmorpgs too. Speaking of which, I'm not sure you ever mentioned it (as I'm new to the channel) but do you ever play any online games? There are some pretty good story-driven mmos out there (like FFXI or XIV, Dragon Quest X, Mabinogi, etc). Definitely beats the typical grindfest WoW clones.

Your content is awesome, good luck and keep it up!!

I'm new to the channel and love your taste in games. Also love your taste in music, Band Maid are my favourite band right now!

I currently replay "Breath of the Wild" after a few years when I played it first. Also the SNES Zelda game is one of the best of all times, which I played when it was released on SNES in the 90s. There are other great games for me, in my mind comes: The Last of Us, Metal Gear Solid 5, Death Stranding, Axiom Verge, Demon's Souls Remake and Elden Ring. Very nice channel by the way.

Nice list And surprisingly I’ve never played any of these games

Nice top 10! You got a lot of variety into this. Not only in genres but also in time, some nostalgic ones, and some new ones. I knew a link to the past was going to be if not #1, it would be #2. Also I knew Xenoblade Chronicles would rank very high. The BotW kinda surprised me, but the other day you told me you hope I Could play it , so it made sense later on. I didn't know, you liked that much legends of heroes, I think you've only mentioned it a couple of times. On the ps4 video you showed passion about it. My top 5 was full of nostalgia, I may need to build a new one 😅. It also broke my hard I didn't see Pokémon mentioned 🥺 I asked for a top of you fav games of all time, in your Q&A, hopefully I was the only one 😅 thank you for doing it! I might try some of these

Have you tried Pokemon Conquest? It's a strategy rpg type game! I hear it's actually pretty good, but the physical game is getting pretty pricey! Love the video as per usual!

The Witcher 3 is one of my favourite games. I plated it on PS4 and thought it was only ok. I played it on switch and loved it way more and did pretty much everything, all side quests and DLC. Love it so much.

Fun Top 10! Warms my heart to see Jak & Daxter make an appearance. Loved that franchise!

I love that Zelda games took the top spots. I'm currently trying to complete a playthrough of the entire series in timeline order and just made it to A Link Between Worlds. Haven't played it since it came out so I'm really looking forward to diving in again. As far as my favorite games of all time... that would be really tough to decide, and might differ depending on what day you asked me. Zelda is one of my favorite series, and Wind Waker and Majora's Mask are probably my favorite Zelda games, so I guess they'd have to be on an "of all time" list. Final Fantasy X is also a really big one for me. Portal 2 is basically a perfect video game, imo, so I'd probably put that on there. Some others off the top of my head that I could potentially choose are Shadow of the Colossus (PS4 remake), Super Metroid, the Kingdom Hearts series as a whole, Super Mario 64, Resident Evil (Gamecube remake), Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver, Skyrim, the Mass Effect Series... honestly I could just keep going and going lol. Anyway, great list! Looking forward to more list videos :)

We have similar taste lol makes sense since I have been watching a lot of your channel lately!

Awesome!! Love your content

Another fab video Emily!

Great list!

That´s a nice Band maid shirt. I like their music too!

Very great top ten list. I am about to play xenoblade definitive edition soon for the first time. Also love the Zelda picks.

You really know how to articulate your opinion and im enjoying your channel. Only advice i can give is that for videos like this having an ost sounding in the background really does helps. Even if its barely heard it really sdds much more weight to one's speaking. You will have fun when editing choosing a videogame's song to accompany your thoughts

What a fantastic list! Witcher 3 feels like Medieval Batman doing Supernatural episodes as quests, I love that game so much. Psychonauts definitely made me laugh out loud going back to it recently, although maybe it's a bit more outrageous than I remember it being as a kid. The Trails games are a mark of excellent taste. ALTTP and BOTW are the best Zelda games, the exploration is so good.

Hi, i discovered your channel i few days ago. Its been fun watching you talking about games and your collections! You talked about Psychonauts, maybe you would like Rayman 2! Its one of my favorites on PS1, but i heard the PS2 version has more content

I've gotta give this some thought. I could probably give my top three without much trouble, but narrowing the rest of my favorites down to ten is gonna be a challenge... 😅 Great list, especially the Trails games (that might just be my overall favorite series). ✨✨✨

Great choices, thanks for sharing your list, if I tried to make a top 10 I think I would go mad LOL

great list! the zelda games are cool, it would be great if nintendo can bring a link to the past to the switch! here are m,y top 10, the games and order gets muddled anytime I think about this lol 10) Final Fantasy 7 (PS1) - my dad and I played through this many times together. I loved the music (esp the battle music) and this did the summons the best out of the series for me. The feeling of power at the late game is unparrallelled!, then there is the chocobo racing and breeding. I could go on and on, this probably should be higher on the list tbh but who cares lol 9) Diablo 2 (mac lc2) - this was the first game I ever got addicted to. The setting, the sound. the thud of beating on dozens of monsters, the loots. The resurrected release re-affirmed why I love this more than any other arpg out there. just brilliant! 8) Doom reboot (xbox series x) - where do I start here? Fast pased, rocking soundtrack, great level design, great visuals. This is that game where I stick my lips out when firing big guns. Best shotgun in all of gaming! Period! Exclamation point! 7) Ratcher and Clank Up Your Arsenal (PS2) - I love this series, I love these characters, I love these mechanics, I love these visuals, I love the weapons, I love the humour. But my feeling for this game ggoes beyond the sum of its parts. There is a soul to this series that I feel is best captured in this instalment. Damn I want to play this again! 6) Forza Horizon 2 (Xbox One) - While this is not the best game from a technical standpoint, and didnt nourish my soul when the series came to my country in the third instalment, I feel like this is my faviourite game in the series. It was such a step up from the original, this game satisfied my inner most fantasies of driving exotic cars in an open world. I did everything I could do in this game, and I loved every minute, and this I cannot say for the other entries which is why it is on my all time list. The location being based on the border of Italy and Spain was absolutely magical. 5) Resident Evil 2 Remake (Xbox series x) - I was a little late to the party for as it came out a generation prior, but I got it for a very cheap price. This game is worth the full recommended retail price, maybe even more tbh. Best Resi game in the series for me, I really enjoyed the innovation of the story being played in 2 perspectives. I havent seen this done in a game before and it is genius! So, I plat as Leon, play my way through the main game, then play as Claire who is in a different area of the game that parrallels the sequences of Leons actions where at junctions they even meet. Then you get to play the main story as Claire then play as Leon iin a similar way. Even just explaining this is making my head hurt! I love it! 4) NBA 2K16 (PS4) - For the love of the game I hold dear. Basketball. NBA basketball. The fantasy of being about to play the game with your favcouriote players, you can create custom rosters, you can create a player. The graphics, gameplay and animations have aged well. This game is my #1 sports game EVER. 3) Uncharted series (PS4) - I love all 5 games equally. Yes, the latter games, UC4 and UC the lost legacy are technically the best in the series, every one of these games scratches the itch I have for adventure andf action. I love the characters oh so much! Nolan North is the first voice actor I know by name (outside of Mark Hamil ofc), I play this series annually in sedquential order as a manathon run. Speaking of, time to mark my 2023 playthrough! 2) Grand Theft Auto V (XBOX 360/PS4) - yup, I'm that guy! The guy who will kneel to one knee and place my hand on my heart and declare this toi be my second favourite game of all time. I really want to talk about the characters, the setting, the story, the scale, the detail, the gameplay and Trevor. But lets just talk about Trevor. Trevor is a broken human being who has lost all sense of right and wrong. A character I despise and adore. Like an onion, you will peel away his horrible actions and generally digusting appearance and you will see a man who is actually a nice person who can no longer be that way anymore. His life experiences and moulded him in the pshychotic ruthless person he is. Oh I love driving and flying in this game too 1) The Last of US series (PS4/PS5) - ...and here it is. The crowning jewel that sita aopt of the head of the others. The genuine feelings I experience over and over after multiple playthroughs never wither. Its a topsy turvy experience that grips me from beghinning to end. I will recognise that people do not like the seconf instalment, but I think it was a masterclass of story telling, It is fascinating how perspective can change how you feel about an event, or a character, and this game plays on that heavily in UC2. These games kept me thinking about it well after I played it. So many games I left off makes my heart hurt so I will list a few honourable mentions; Ghosty of Tsushima Mario Odysset Rise of the Tomb Raider Witcher 3 Titanfall 2 Injustice 2 Ori series Dragon Age Origins Mass Effect trilogy Red Dead Redemption series Portal 2 Halo 3 Half Life 2 Bioshock series Ninja Gaiden Sigma 1&2 Horizon Zero Dawn The next game I want to play is Persona 4 Golden on PSV so I can finally play Persona 5 on Switch.

Don't feel too bad for having to "cheat" a little. A favorite games of all-time list is like picking which of your kids you love the most :D I look forward to more top 10 vids, great work!

Love your top ten. After hearing about the trails games I'd be interested in them. The only problem is how the games stories are connected. I'd have to buy them all lol. I don't know if it is a good idea, but maybe a top 10 for favorite characters. I couldn't do it myself. Most of them would be Persona characters not gonna lie.

I had no idea that the PS Vita versions of the Trails games had the English text. I guess I have to go shopping now. Great video!

so glad to see the love for fire emblem echoes! it is my favorite fire emblem as well and I love that game! really nice list

Nice picks.

Very interesting list, I honestly don't know if I would be able to make a top 10 myself! It would definitely include FE Path of Radiance and Etrian Odyssey 3 though. By the way, I've always been curious about the Trails series, but there are so many entries that I am a bit reluctant to get into it, any suggestions on where to start? Also, I got FE Echoes a while ago, but still haven't gotten around to play it, I need to get through my backlog...

Thanks for reminding playing order in Sky Trails series. So often you see Trails of the Cold Steel in the eShops that you almost forgot that there was Sky series before...

I've recently gotten into the Trails series and have plowed through 5 games now (The 3 Trails in the Sky games and the first 2 Cold Steel games, before going back to the Crossbell games). It's quickly became probably my favorite video game series ever. I dread the fast approaching day when I'm all caught up and there's no more Trails games left to play. I'd also pick Sky SC as my favorite so far. The ending of Sky 1 and the emotional core of Sky 2 made me a fan of this series for life.

You have great taste in games. You had me Zelda, Xenoblade and Fire Emblem

Doesn’t have anything to do with the video but I see you rocking that BAND-MAID shirt! 🤘🏼🤘🏼😃

I've never heard of these trials games. 100% going to check them out as the gameplay looks 🔥 - great list! Great to see a decent mix between western and eastern for sure. Also fire emblem games are siiick. I was really into advance wars when I was young and a friend directed me to FE when I was looking for more strategic combat style games. I really enjoyed the vibe and have loved them ever since

Love what you said about not being able to finish a game because then, it would be over. Breath Of The Wild is probably my favorite game of all time, but Nier:Automata is up there too because there are like 20 different endings, so that helps with not wanting to finish a game that you love, if that makes any sense ;)

I too have to cheat on my top 6, 12, or whatever lists (I like to go by multiples of three because 3 is compatible with the universe and also that way I get away with adding more to my list 😆). I combine Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask into one game (MM is pretty just a big expansion of Ocarina anyways, I mean if they both came out on the PC then they’d just be one game). I like that Jak and Daxter series is in your top 10 list because I too have fond memories of it. Xenosaga Episode I is my favorite game ever and I highly recommend it, especially since you like Xenoblade Chronicles so much. Xenogears is the first Xeno game and is also very good (deserves a remake). Other PS2 gems are Dark Cloud 1 and 2 if you haven’t played em.

Fire Emblem Echoes is amazing, it's my favorite FE as well ! I was pleasantly surprised to see Zelda ALBW so high on the list, it's underrated and one of the best Zelda games imo ! I should replay it sometime. Hades is such a sick game, it's impossible to get bored with it. Just masterful. Xenoblade is also one of my favs all time, currently binge playing the third one lol

Killer list great picks we have a lot of the same taste in games ! Tho I never played hades but I’m gonna pick it up because of this video

Great video and a great top ten list! Personally, I have no problem with two games from the same series being included as long as the gameplay is significantly different. So while both Link to the Past and Breath of the Wild are both from the same series, the way that the story and game are laid out creates two very unique games. I’ll have to think about my own top ten…

I have jak 3 in my top 10 but it's really representative of the trilogy as a whole, loved the story progression in those games

All great picks! My top 10 would be in no order Beacon Pines(Switch)Animal Crossing New Horizon(Switch),Endless Ocean(Wii), Legos Rock Band(PS3), Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 +2(Switch), The Legend of Zelda(NES), Zelda Breath of the Wild(Switch), Skyrim(Xbox Series S), Murdered Soul Suspect (PS3), Ducktales Remastered(PS3) as of today.

Fire Emblem Echoes. Good choice. I love the game so much, especially for the story and the dungeons. I absolutely felt the same way a few years ago. Though, it actually was the hardest Fire Emblem game for me to finish. Not because it was too hard, but because the overworld battles and all of the spread out maps that really just amounted to big squares with maybe some terrain effects just slowed the game down to a crawl for me since I liked exploring every corner of the map and dungeons. A phenomenal game with sadly some of the worst map design with far too many that are huge and have terrain that slow down your movement to just 1 or 2 spaces. Still my favorite Fire Emblem story and character interactions though. So I totally stand by the choice. I just wish they had taken a little more time to rebalance the maps, cause horseback and flying units moving over twice as far as some other units and such big maps really just made it hard for me to see the game through to the end after I got into the later stages and all of my non-riding units felt too slow to get into the action when I needed them. I switched to casual to finish so I could just lazily grind through the bad maps without worrying about losing units to them to get to the main battles of each chapter

Nice list. I really wanna start the xeno blade games but, I've just got so many games to play and don't like to put games down without beating them if they're good.

great list, I myself given the time, was Seiken Densetsu 3, it was rom only, and with the greatest appreciation, rom was translated, most people in North America never got to see it's light of day, as there was no version in the market, unless Japanese. Secret of Mana Remake is fun and great, but the original for it's time, with the music, best sprite work ever imo, truly was an experience

Love the jak series, but something about the 2nd one is just magic to me

My overall favorites in no particular order are: - Super Mario Galaxy 1&2 - Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Metroid Prime - Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door - Batman: Arkham City - Shin Megami Tensei IV - Etrian Odyssey IV - Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate - Celeste - Pokemon HeartGold / SoulSilver (Gold was actually my first RPG so this one means a lot). It's cool to see Trails in the Sky SC in your top 10 as I started Trails in the Sky FC last week. I figured now is a good time to jump into the series with the Crossbell games coming to Steam soon.

Love this list!!! I share a lot of similarities although I never got around to breath of the wild… I know please don’t roast me. I finally recently bought it and plan to actually beat it

Great top 10! Mine is (tentatively): 1. Xenosaga Episode I 2. Zelda Ocarina of Time/Majora’s Mask 3. Final Fantasy IX 4. Final Fantasy Tactics 5. Final Fantasy VII 6. Dark Cloud 7. Dark Cloud 2 8. Final Fantasy X 9. Final Fantasy XI Online 10. Final Fantasy XIV Online Honorable Mentions: -Smash Bros Melee -Smash Bros 64 -Smash Bros Ultimate -Final Fantasy XII -Vagrant Story -Final Fantasy VII Remake -Final Fantasy VIII -Kingdom Hearts -Kingdom Hearts II -Zelda Twilight Princess -Zelda Wind Waker -Xenosaga Episode II -Xenosaga Episode III -Chrono Trigger -Chrono Cross -Legend of Dragoon -Xenogears

Everyone has their own preference and the genres they like. It is great that Orbalology has a variety of tastes and sounds open minded towards other games (example Hades), as when we are close minded we miss out on a lot. We also miss out on a lot of stuff due to backlog and lack of time. Disclaimer: This is my personal list at time of posting and as with a lot of people changes after playing games and trying new things and finds enjoyment in other series and genres. 1) Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn 2) Fire Emblem Path of Radiance 3) Donkey Kong Country 2 4) Persona 4 5) Valkyria Chronicles 1/4 (preference to 4 after completing) Despite starting with number 1 first 6) Steamworld Dig a Fistful of Dirt 7) Tales of Xilla 8) Prince of Persia Warrior Within 9) Luigi's Mansion 10) Immortals Fenyx Rising Honourable Mentions: The Last Story The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess Xenoblade Chronicles Wii/Nintendo Switch Version Pokemon Gold Raging Loop (Visual Novel) Mario Kart 7/64

I can totally relate to putting off beating my favorite games. I did the same with with Zelda BOTW, Dark Souls, Demon Souls, and Elden Ring.

My number 1 just has to be mario 64. I play that game over and over all the time and it never stops being fun.

I love your Content. 😊

I own every one of those games! great picks! I've always liked ocarina of time more than breath of the wild but im almost positive its because of nostalgia. I legitimately thought nothing would beat ocarina as my number 1 until I played final fantasy 14 which is basically a single player game with parts that make you play with others. I avoided it like the plague bc I dont like mmos but it really didn't feel like an mmo.

Great video! You should play Dante's Inferno, it's kinda like Hades. For me it was original Tomb Raider & Lara Croft that got me hooked on gaming! Favorites are survival/horror, adventure, rpg's, & shooters!

Trails in the Sky SC! Best in series for me slightly edging out Trails of Azure.

Highly recommend final fantasy vii series. With remake out and crisis core reunion i think there are a lot of opportunities to dive into the game!

I list this out all the time, and "top 10" games is always closer to 25 or 30. For the longest time I'd have said Super Mario Bros 3 is the best game of all time, but it keeps slipping further down the top of my list. I struggled with adding pretty new games to my list for a long time, but without a doubt Breath of the Wild is the best game I have ever played. I know I'm not alone in this, but it was a pretty wonderful experience that made me feel like a kid playing a game again. I initially played it on the Wii U, but even revisiting it on the Switch a year or so later it was pretty clear there is something truly magical about that game. I think it I had to cut it down to a purely top 10 it'd be BotW, Okami, Resident Evil 4, We

You’re in for a treat with Psychonauts 2. The first game is very janky like you had commented on for Jak and Daxter, but Psychonauts 2 brings the game into the modern era and feels like a great continuation of the first.

Top 10 games of all time can be hard to determine. I mean, nostalgia can blind us towards old games and some games are so perfect the first time you play them, but can never give that same effect the second time or even once their twist is spoiled, like Doki Doki Literature Club, so that makes those types of games hard to rank. If I had to throw out a few: Xenoblade X Atelier Rorona DX Metroid Fusion Azure Striker Gunvolt Ocarina of Time 3D Twilight Princess (Gamecube) Tokyo Mirage Sessions Devil Survivor Overclocked Diddy Kong Racing Megaman Battle Network 5 (like both versions equally) Pokemon Platinum NFL Street 2 (one of these things is not like the others, lol. This gets bonus credit for introducing me to Sum 41 and an overall killer soundtrack and also wall running fun). Not sure if this is a definitive list, but it's what came to mind first when thinking of favorite games of all time. With more thought, I'd probably add some PS2 classics like Naruto Ultimate Ninja 2/3, DBZ Budokai 3, Star Wars Battlefront 2, etc. I need time to compare all my old favorites to give a fair list

My personal favorites of all time are Red Dead Redemption 2, Metroid Prime, Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove, and Super Monkey Ball 2.

Solid list with good variety. Have you tried pokemon legends arceus? It gave me Botw vibes with a pokemon twist.

I agree a balance of retro & modern is key. My top 10 are; 1) Super Metroid, SNES 2)Zelda Breath of the Wild, NSW 3) Resident Evil 4, NGC 4)Super Mario Odyssey, NSW 5) Bloodborne, PS4 /Elden Ring,PS5 (I couldn't decide, so I went with both) 6)Chorno Trigger, DS (Yes the DS version) 7)Fire Emblem Awakening, 3DS 8)Xenoblade Chronicles, Wii/NSW 9)Hollow Knight, NSW 10) Spider-man, PS4 Honorable mentions; 1)Witcher 3 2) Portal 2/Half-Life 2 3)Megaman X, SNES Lastly, I honestly could easily list 50 more games I love. Too many excellent games.

Damn, that's trails in the sky sc really make jealous 😍

I was thinking on my top 10 games of all time and I think for the moment this is it! 10. Elden Ring 9. Halo 3 8. Metal Gear Solid V / (If you haven't played any MGS, MGS Snake eater for the 3ds is a good one!) 7. Witcher 3, During college I really didn't played any games but this brought me back. 6. Pokemon Gold 5. Mario 64 4. Metroid Fusion 3. Zelda Twilight Princess 2. Super Smash Bros Melee 1. Megaman X 1, This game blew my mind when I was a kid, seeing X getting all the armor upgrades and everything has an special place on my heart.

For me it's probably not the best list but the games that had the most impact when I played them. These are games I played and finished, in nor particular order: Xenoblade Chronicles - Oh boy this game, I've always heard it was one of the best JRGS out there and when I saw that the DE was coming to the switch I got in on release day. When the opening screen came up with the Monado in the middle of those grass plains and the first accords of the music started I just stopped and my jaw dropped. There are a few games that I've played in my life where something happens and I gasp This was once of them. Chrono Trigger - A classic that I played waaaaaa later than it's release, again the music the design, the game is just so engaging a true gem among gems. This one also has one of those OMG moments where I just stopped to try and process what just happened. Portal - I've heard that Portal 2 is even better but I haven't played that one. This game is fantastic with an amazing physic engine and an ending that truly had me laughing. The dark humour in this game is par to none Fifa 98 France World cup - This was the first game I saw where the graphics blew me away. The intro scene with Blur Song 2 playing in the background, I've rewached that intro hundreds of times. I begged my dad to get a computer powerful enough to play it, I got it for my birthday with the game included, one of my most cherished childhood memories. (I miss you dad) Super Mario World - Christmas morning at grandpa's, me and my brother run down the stairs to see what we been asking for for months a SNES OMG! I must have played this games dozens of times with all possible alternative routes 007 Golden Eye - I think I never actually finished the game but I played the PvsP mode to death (proximity mines anyone?) FF VII - Another game where in intro scene just blew me away, I loved that it was different to other RPGS that I played at the time it felt so Cyberpunk and ofc probably one of the most spoiled scenes in any game. At that time I was lucky enough not to be spoiled and when it happens I was truly left in shocked and actually mourned it took me a long time to finally accept she was gone. Starcraft Broodwar - I was obsessed with this game to the point I actually still watch the Korean Proleague. But besides the competitive side of it the story is amazing with a dark ending that left me super satisfied, I truly didn't know what would happen after that and was left with an impending doom feeling for humanity. Street Fighter 2 Turbo - When I was a kid I used to go to my local arcades to try to beat the other kids (spoiler I didn't) so when this game made it to the SNES I was super excited to have it at home. Played it like crazy with my older brother and the day I finally was able to beat him was one of the proudest moments of my young life. Links Awakening - I had this game on the GB and the cutscenes were something I've never seen on the GB I loved this game so much that I got the remake on the switch Well that's it sorry for the wall of text but just putting a list of games would'nt made them justice. Thanks for the nice video and I'll have to check out some of the title you mentioned!

I do like to revisit nostalgia games. I’ve been disappointed a few times but most of the time it’s brings back great memories.

Awakening was my first FE too. Still my fav

Good top games ,Today i finish the witcher 3 😜

Did you make a video of Tears of the Kingdom? I'm seeing one.

For me - FFIV (my all time favourite), FFVI, FFtactics, Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, Alundra, 1 Wild Arms 1, Suikoden 1, Hollow Knight and Celeste.

It's weird with me and nostalgic games. Games like Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask are my favorites video games of all time, but after playing them after so many years I realize how much they've aged. And of course it'll never be like the first time I played them. Though they'll always be amazing to me.

Maybe I just had good taste in games, but none of my favorite childhood games aged badly. I actually made a top 50 video (series) 6 or so years ago and both Xenoblades at the time were on it. The first one despite being the worst (which isn't knocking it in any sense) it has a special place for me because during high school I had quit playing games except occasionally on handheld and Xenoblade rekindled that passion and interest for games. If I made the video again, I think I'd include all 4 (soon to be 5) despite my rule that games from the same series had to really set themselves apart. They all hit different highs in different ways, it's not like how Mario World is just an expanded Mario Bros, Xenoblades stand on their own.

Trails in the Sky SC is so great. I hope they make an English physical version eventually. No one does world building like Falcom does.

This list is so similar to mine lol. Only difference is I'd pick FE Path of Radiance :)

What’s your favorite system to play games on

Funny you mention Breath of the wild I played it when it released on Wii u and kinda played it for a few weeks spent about 20hrs grinding shrines and whatnot and lost interest with other games at the moment. Picked it back up in 2019 and it totally sucked me in. I put another 40 hrs in it within the first week and spend unknown amounts of time farming lynels. Also got into a buying spree with the amiibos bc I had to have all the different outfits for link. Such an amazing game, not my favorite Zelda title but it is def top 3 for me as far as Zelda goes.

It definitely seems like Xenoblade gets recommended a lot more then fire emblem. I still have old actually playable games in my backlog. And I’m currently playing through an old one. Breath of the wild I’m taking my time. It’s the one game I only watch gameplay of when I truly get stuck. Also my top ten list usually comes down to story more than anything else.

I think with your list mainly consisting of RPG and open world titles you would really enjoy games like Terraria and Stardew Valley. (Not sure if you've played them.) Terraria is personally my favourite game of all time followed closely by Breath of the Wild and Stardew Valley.

Zelda Breath of The Wild is such a masterpiece. The new one looks amazing too
