Truly a game that transformed an era. Constantly on sale on Steam, there's no excuse for it not to be in our library. The game is the perfect length for what it is, considering there isn't much narrative to be explored in this first entry. There are some brain scratchers in here, but you'll get used to "thinking with portals".

Enjoyable Poker game if you don't have a weekly Poker game set up with your friends. Entertaining interactions between the different characters, but it gets pretty stale once you've heard all the lines. Good way to learn Poker, too.

Full of character, mystery, witty writing, and comedy, the Ace Attorney trilogy offers a complete package. Each case offers a different kind of mystery (though they ARE all murder based...), new characters, and a great twist. With the exception of one case in Justice for All (the second game in the series), I would highly recommend the entire series to those interested in murder mysteries and visual novels.

Sadly this is the only way I've experienced Persona 3. While a good experience to bring along with you on the go, I have a hard time falling in love with the movement options compared to what I've seen in the PS2 versions of the game. That said, this is still quite a meaty game with tons of content. Often overlooked compared to Persona 3 and Persona 5, this entry in the Persona series still offers a great story and gameplay. The addition of the FemMC is also a great addition.

Simplistic rhythm game that holds a special place in my childhood. It's not very complex, but it's not meant to be. Good beginner if you're interested in the history of rhythm games.

Visually one of the most stunning Pac-Man games, but it's simply a collection of different modes of Pac-Man.

2007

This was the first rhythm game I truly invested time in, and it truly whips you into shape. With a large community and user generated beatmaps, you can spend a lot of time on this. Best played with a graphics tablet and mechanical keyboard.

This is a hidden gem in the Dreamcast library and a brilliant party game. The premise and wackiness mesh together quite well. The single player offerings are a good way to get to learn all the different aspects of the game, but the real meat of the game is within the free for all multiplayer. Definitely keep an eye out for this game if you're looking to expand your collection.

Another great NES title that I believe belongs in anyone's collection. Challenging, but not incredibly difficult as it's known for. Worth picking up if you're into platformers from the NES era.

I mean... it's Minecraft. What more do I need to say? Creativity is your limit for enjoyment.

This is more than meets the eye, but even then it's not much. You can find some enjoyment messing around with this "live wallpaper" looking game, but it's hard to know what to do unless you mess around enough or look it up. Once you find out all the secrets, there's not much else to do.

This was the only Mega Man X game I truly played through, because the genius of its design captivated me so much. This is easily the definitive Mega Man I'd recommend to anyone who hasn't played any. There's plenty of replay value to be found in upgrades. The tutorial level alone, from an analysis standpoint, is a thing of beauty.

Considered a classic now, this point and click adventure game offers a charming little adventure. The puzzles aren't necessarily difficult, but it's far from unenjoyable. Wonderful visuals and story.

2010

One of the definitive early highlights of narrative driven puzzle games that the 2010's spawned plenty of, LIMBO may seem like it's just another one of the bunch nowadays. Personally, I believe this is still a great game, however it may not have aged very well due to the kind of market it helped create. Some points in the game have you hanging in a lull, but its high points are definitely great.
