10 Star Games

A ranking and list of games I have given the max 5/5 rating. I'm so used to 10/10 ranking systems I mentally use them (and the half stars means they scale the same), so I'm calling it 10 star.

Summon Night: Swordcraft Story

The most flawed game on here, but it just appeals to me too hard. The crafting, steamwork + fantasy aesthetic is ON POINT, funny and cute with the characters, political intrigue if a bit basic, a simple crafting system that nonetheless is very fun, the action RPG battle system has a great basis but is a bit too easy to exploit. I just love this game.

Up there with Majora's Mask for most atmospheric game. The best Persona story and over time I've grown more confident saying the best cast. Tying Persona evolutions to the story allows for arcs tied in much more to the story, with big moments. The last month is extremely engrossing and sucks you in to its dark atmosphere. Aigis best girl.

Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword

Perhaps the best mix of being easy to play while having tons of depth in the 4X genre, I've put literally over 4,000 hours into this. The balance is great in single player and pretty good in multiplayer, the decision trees in these game are deep and no two games are the exact same. AI Survivor by Sullla is a hilarious romp btw.

Easy? Yes. But the battle system is deep as the ocean, the story is hilarious with sometimes serious moments and it looks amazing even today. Chapter 3 is GOATed.

Got some real issues with Yosuke and some of the mystery, but when 95% of it is so good it's hard to be too upset. Overall very fun characters, a pretty solid story, still keeping it thematic and also it has better gameplay than FES. But FES just has much richer, deeper characters and stories. Best song in the OST is Heaven, don't @ me.

This game has SO MUCH content, between five Cups, Gym Leader Castle, Minigames and then double all of that for R2. It throws teams that actually use Pokemon's deep combat at you and the rental Pokemon are highly balanced. It is Pokemon in its purest sense and a game I spent a lot of time on.

Quite possibly the most atmospheric game I've ever played. The fact I think about random NPCs from it to this day is a testament to the memorability. And endlessly fun to analyze from head to toe.
