Ranking my Top Favorite Games
From Stoulram
My PERSONAL Top 10 Favorite Games of All Time
I tend to favor open-world sandbox games, 2D surreal RPGs, and puzzle-platformer games.
- Pokémon Black/White
- Probably the most underrated of the 2D Pokémon games (people seriously seem to hate it because of the Pokémon designs)
- But it's seriously my favorite Pokémon game of them all
- Great animations and an actually decent story instead of just "I want to be the best trainer in the world"
- Yume Nikki
- Extremely surreal because nothing is really explained
- Theorized to touch mature themes like trauma, bullying, sexual assault, and suicide
- The events are pretty terrifying (Faces, Uboa, Aztec Rave Monkey) and sometimes funny (Witch's Flight, Mars)
- SLARPG
- Stardew Valley
- Amazing intro and story with more adult-focused themes
- Great easy-to-pick-up game and casual game I can play anytime
- IMO the most impressive game made by a single person (like actually ONE person)
- Undertale
- Crazy how much this game breaks the fourth wall and how different the game is depending on your choices
- Like there's games that do the same, like Chrono Trigger, but this genuinely feels like every choice you make makes a huge difference
- Unique battle system and the game is fun no matter if you do genocide/pacifist/neutral
- GTA V
- Amazing to go around Los Santos and the graphics are so beautiful
- So much to do with driving, flying, heists
- GTA IV's story is better no doubt, but I honestly like playing between the 3 characters in GTA V and the gameplay is more important to me
- OneShot
- Most "breaking the 4th wall" type of game I've ever played
- Like seriously, the game adds stuff to your PC that you need for puzzles, it changes the wallpaper, overlays windows, and the ending is the most mind-blowing thing I've ever seen in a game and makes you feel like Niko is a real character
- Beautiful story with insane lore and post-apocalyptic themes
- Great puzzles and a unique twist with a bigger emphasis on exploring the overworld to find stuff and combine them
- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
- One of the hardest decisions I had to make in this list since ALTTP was always one of my most favorite games of all time
- But it takes everything from previous Zelda titles and makes it a whole true open-world concept like in Zelda 1
- There's so many secrets in the game that I'm still discovering to this day unlike ALTTP (which is probably the only game I 100% completed)
- My favorite parts are rolling the snowball to unlock the shrine
- And the Lost Woods where the fog envelopes you was such a cool effect
- I would still rank ALTTP #2 (best 2D Zelda game IMO) but I still need to play Link Between Worlds
- And then OOT 3DS #3 (N64 version controls/graphics/FPS sucked and Navi was annoying in both games + too much text/tutorials)
- Celeste
- Amazing platformer
- Nice fluid mechanics
- Excellent music and story
- DLC kicked my ass (def best DLC ever) but it was worth it for the Moon Berry
- Some of the best mods with Strawberry Jam
- Minecraft: Java Edition
- No game will ever beat Minecraft for me period.
- The simplicity + customizations + do-whatever-you-want-feel is what makes the game special
