  • Donkey Kong Country 2
  • Pokémon Gold & Silver
  • Banjo-Kazooie
  • Resident Evil 4

I'll be real, this is going to be hard for me. I have a lot of games I've really enjoyed (and tons I've really disliked) — but ranking them has never been a strong suit.

However, here's how I feel today:

1. Hollow Knight
2. Hyper Light Drifter
3. Undertale
4. Death's Door
5. Celeste
6. Animal Well
7. Pikmin 4
8. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker*
9. Disco Elysium
10. OlliOlli World

*This keeps flitting back and forth between BotW and Wind Waker. BotW for gameplay... Wind Waker for story and vibe.
 
Not in order:
  • A Space for the Unbound
  • Kirby and the Forgotten Land
  • Celeste
  • Sayonara Wild Hearts
  • Planet Coaster
  • Titanfall 2
  • Cyberpunk 2077
  • Super Mario 3D World + Bowsers Fury
  • Metroid Dread
  • Tetris 99
Multiple other games I'm playing through could wind up in that top ten though, like Baldurs Gate 3, Witcher 3, Forza Horizon 4, and Persona 5 Royal.
 
  • Majora's Mask
  • Smash Melee
  • Pokemon Silver
  • Mario Odyssey
  • Team Fortress 2
  • Banjo Kazooe
  • Splatoon
  • Animal Crossing Wild World
  • The World Ends with You
  • Hades
 
1. Paper Mario
2. Dark Souls
3. Resident Evil 4 (toss-up between og and remake)
4. Super Mario World
5. Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii: Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2
6. Doom Eternal
7. Left 4 Dead 2
8. Fallout: New Vegas
9. Hitman: World of Assassination
10. SIFU

  • Dragon Quest VIII
  • Ape Escape 3
  • Super Mario Sunshine
  • NiGHTS into Dreams
  • Umineko When They Cry
  • Sonic Adventure
  • Illbleed
  • moon
But honestly, it fluctuates depending on my mood. Shout outs to Luigi's Mansion, Deadly Premonition, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion as well.
 
After the first two, probably no particular order.

1. The Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past
2. Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition
3. Stardew Valley
4. Skies of Arcadia
5. Chrono Trigger
6. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (with expansion)
7. Steamworld Dig 2
8. Riven: The Sequel to Myst
9. Cave Story
10. Bayonetta
 
I'm going with no order for now, but:

  • The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
  • Super Mario Galaxy
  • The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
  • The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
  • Halo 3
  • Inside (Playdead)
  • The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
  • Metroid Dread
  • Mass Effect 2
  • Paper Mario

Honorable Mentions:

Resident Evil 4
Resident Evil 2 Remake
REmake
Red Dead Redemption
Fallout 3
Super Mario 64
Metroid Prime Remastered
Halo 2
Banjo-Kazooie
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

This was, as always, tough to put together. Like others I didn't bother trying to order them.

  • Splatoon 3
  • Tetris 99
  • Sonic Mania
  • Rusty's Real Deal Baseball
  • Pikmin 3
  • Animal Crossing New Leaf

Tomodachi Life, Spyro the Dragon, Pikmin 4, the original Animal Crossing, the original Splatoon, The Sims 3, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Super Mario 64, Wave Race 64, and Chibi-Robo! Photo Finder occupy the second tier.
 
I barely think about this outside of my top 3-5, so this is very hard.

Only top 3 are in order:
  • Majora's Mask
  • Ocarina of Time
  • Dragon Quest V
  • Fire Emblem Path of Radiance
  • Chrono Trigger
  • Final Fantasy VI
  • Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

  • Super Mario Galaxy 2
  • Pokémon HeartGold
Maybe also in top 10? Sometimes?
  • Dragon Quest Builders 2
  • Dragon Quest IV
  • Mega Man Zero
  • Xenoblade
  • Ace Attorney 3
  • Rayman 2
  • Soul Calibur II
  • Super Street Fighter II
  • Xenoblade 2
  • Pikmin 3
 
Top 5 (Very Fixed)
1) Hollow Knight
2) Splatoon 3
3) Fire Emblem Engage
4) Splatoon 2
5) Mario Galaxy 2

Top 10 (Kinda Loose)
6) Breath of the Wild
7) Pokemon Platinum
8) Cuphead
9) Don't Starve Together
10) Rimworld
 
Just doing one per franchise and roughly in order-

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Monster Hunter 4
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
Etrian Odyssey III
Megaman X
Octopath Traveller II

I've never really thought about it to this extent. I know that Pathologic 2 is my absolute favorite, because there's nothing like it, but the rest change with my mood.
La-Mulana is up there, Yakuza 7, MOTHER 3, Mario 3, Fear and Hunger 2, but the rest always switch around.
