Drave
Very simple story and fun to play. Probably one of my favorite Metroid-vanias. The scattered upgrades to power-up are great as well. The bosses are very fun in that they make you have to change your power-ups to adapt to their fighting style. There's also a bunch of characters scattered across the castle giving you hints as to what's going on, and it makes you want to keep playing to see what happens.

I think Fortnite is an amazing game, because it did its very own thing in the multiplayer pvp genre. The only battle royales that were popular at the time were PUBG and H1Z1, so it was very original. The building mechanic was the perfect feature the game needed and it is very fun to learn how to build in the game. Because of its loving development team I never get bored since there's new skins, guns, and maps constantly rotating. I think people hate on this game because they don't want to learn new mechanics.

I've been playing Valorant since Beta, and used to be a huge fan of CSGO. Valorant gave CSGO fans a second wind to keep the 5v5 tactical shooter genre fresh by adding new characters, different kinds of guns, and completely new maps. My only pet peeve the the fanbase/community is toxic/annoying, but other than that, if you have friends to play it with, it is a lot of fun and I would try it out.

Playing the game feels like a chore since you move slow at the beginning and have to slog your way to doing tedious chores in order to progress. Playing Terraria has you doing the same tedious task over and over again. Terraria is just watered down Minecraft and its only fun for nerds who've beaten the game a thousand times.

Ultrakill is an amazing game that took Doom and flipped it on its head. This game constantly throws new mechanics at you to learn, which keeps the game fresh at all times. If you're a fan of Doom and FPS games, give it a try.
2012
I'm a huge fan of FPS RPGs and Borderlands 2 is everything I ask in one. Collecting guns and items is very fun. The story is simplistic, but entertaining. I love how Handsome Jack instigates you, making you want to play more. Even though the sequels could not keep up with how good this game is, its still an amazing game in its own ground.
1998
Metal Gear Solid pushed the PS1 to its limits and feels modern to this day. I love Metal Gear Solid for its simple but compelling story and love its characters. Also, its stealth mechanics which were very original at the time. Great game, short but sweet.

I think 4 is the best Persona game in the sense that the characters feel like real people. In Persona 3 and 5 they feel like cardboard cutouts. The dungeons are fun, the overworld is entertaining, and the mystery to find the murderer keeps you curious and wanting to play more.
1986
I love The Legend of Zelda even though people overlook it a lot. The puzzles are impossible because of the translation, but if you can use google and overlook that fact, then it is an amazing game.
1987
I think people compare this game to the other 5 Mega Man NES games and immediately think its a bad game. But if you compare it to the entire NES library, I think it is an amazing game. I believe it aged very well and had some cool ideas like stage selection and changing weapons.
2023
This game is a lot of fun with friends, but it got kind of old quick. Other than its short life span, it was a lot of fun especially for 10 dollars.
2006
Mother 3 is one of my favorite games of all time and for good reason. It is everything I want in a sequel. It has amazing music, graphics, and themes. It took what Earthbound had and made it better with an amazing story which can make anyone shed a tear.
1994
Earthbound is one of my favorite games of all time, partly because I grew up with it. It does not have the most compelling story ever, but throughout the 20 hours of the game it stays fresh with its unique graphic style and set pieces.
2022
Elden Ring is a prime example of a series of games taking a risk, and it paying off because of it. I honestly think that the open world is better than the boring straight line from the other Dark Souls games, and I am excited for the DLC.
2024
I liked Persona 3 Reload a lot. There were a lot of problems in the original releases of the game, and the remake fixed them and updated the graphics, and stayed true to the originals story. That's all I can ask in a remake.
