The feeling I got when I played this game for the first time was absolutely amazing.
I never felt as free in a game, and the call to adventure was irresistible.
My journey in this Hyrule was so relaxing, facinating and rewarding that this game got a special pleace in my heart.
Even though the OST, combat system and story were a bit weak, this game give you SO MUCH that it make you ignore its weakness entirely, and very naturally.

Best fighting game I have ever played when it came out.
I also spend two decades playing this serie in high level competition across Europe and Asia, which allowed me to make close friends that I still keep until this day in my life.

FF XV "day one edition" was good but something was missing.
Few years later, I re-do it in the ROYAL VERSION and watch/read all side media related to the game to understand better the story. It put my experience in the next level. What a exceptional game:
- One of the Best OST I've heard in a game (Easily in my Top3)
- The friendship between Noctis and the 3 bro felt so real/special that I actually miss them just thinking about it. Same with Noctis and his father.
- Best antagonist background in a FF
- Gorgeous game in all aspect possible
- Very touching story (if you read/watch everything + Do royal edition with all DLC in chonological order)
- Excellent DLCs expecially Ardryn and Ignis.
- Engaging combat system (Hidden command list, armiger, character switch, magic etc)

Legendary game, precursor and Mentor of all modern Open World RPG or Action RPG.
Since 25y ago when it came out on Dreamcast, I've never been as blown away as I was the first time when I played it.
When it came out EVERYTHING about it was completely insane.
No game as ever succed to immersed me in its story and world like Shenmue did. All hail the king !

Simply put, this is the best RGG with Zero to me.
I still remember so clearly the laughs but also the excitement and tears I got playing it.
- Perfect and emotional conclusion for Kiryu character Arc
- Such a great follow-up narrative and story
- Amazing combat system fully refined from previous RGG and new graphic engine
- Hilarious and very touching at the same time

Absolute BANGER, the best RGG with Yakuza 6 to me.
This title being a origin story on top of being set during the bubble era of Japan was very refreshing compare to others entries of the serie.
Most importantly this is clearly the perfect RGG title in all aspect of their fomula: story, combat, side activities/quest, humor, epicness. The full package and a must-play for any fan of the genre or anyone who wish to try this saga!

The best Zelda with BOTW and TOTK for me.
When it came out this game was simply REVOLUTIONARY in all aspect. The semi open world was amazing for the time, the graphics were top tier, the combat system in 3D was mind blowing, the story was nice to follow and the atmosphere general of the game was so unique.

One of the first "small" game that slap me on the face that hard. This game was a miracle for the industry, showing how to approach gaming in a rare way, and was frankly a perfect example of why we call game the Xth Art.
The OST is splendid, and a game never wore its name as well as this one as it is a simply unforgettable, gorgeous Journey.

Before TW3 it was the best Western RPG I ever did.
The first game where I actually felt my choice REALLY did matter and impacted my experieince on a emotional level.
The world building, character and lore are excellent, the music iconic and the end chapter of the game was surely one of the best one I "lived" in my gamer's life. RPG elements and combat system were solid as well.
I will simply never forget my journey with Shepard.

A must-play for any Zelda fan.
Very attractive story based on Japan folklore, excellent gameplay loop, visually gorgeous cell shading when it came out and very solid fight system by Ex-Clover Studio (Platinium Games Founders)

Legendary game, the best A-RPG of the 16bits era.
Amazing gameplay loop and precursor of a lot of modern game. A must play for any retro enthusiast or anyone, really.

Back in the day I finished this game more than 25 times, really addictive.
The fight gameplay for a A-RPG was excellent, the story to be honest a bit basic but yet fun to follow.
The game is short, but exploring the land while advancing in all the chapters was really such a blast that I was never bored.
I know nostalgia talked a lot here, but I could re-do a run with pleasure even to this day. Excellent A-RPG of the 16bit era.

My first ever game from the studio, and It was a huge surprise for me. Absolutely loved it, and I was mesmerized by the unique atmosphere of the game. And yeah, I think "unique" is the best term to describe it.
Looking in the world for all the collossus was so full of mystery and a real treat of contemplation. The fights were all amazing to live and the feeling of facing a giant looked so real. And the fantastic OST was the perfect final point to such a great and unique experience.
