For me the MGS games are all so great its hard for me to pick favourites. Again, the jump to PS2 and the use of the tech here blew my mind. I love the bait and switch the Raiden and honestly find so many things about him, both gameplay and storywise very fun. I am not equipped to talk about these games. God bless Kojima lol. I hope he scans me one day.

Another game that blew my tiny little head. Started my love with Kojima. Gateway to trying out other high production value, narrative Konami games like Silent Hill and diving into the gameplay of Castlevanias. This game did so many new things, and I know people just talk about some of the narrative and story choices but the gameplay, sound design.. so much of it is great. Love this. One of those games you can just put in and play from start to finish. Doesnt really have any dead or dragging sections.

I played the original Nier because when it released I was happy to buy any weird looking game with the Square logo printed on it. I ended up loving it, mainly for the deeply weird and tragic characters. But also for the strange mix of bullet hell and Zelda dungeon style gameplay. It was certainly unique.

First open world game that I loved. First maybe I even liked. The format has never appealed to me. Never felt like there was anything worthwhile to do. Somehow the entire world here feels designed for fun and opportunity but still doesnt feel linear. I dont know, no idea how they did it. But they did.

Hero shooters (or really any modern FPS games) just are not for me. I tried to like this as to play with friends but just nah. I do hope though that this slow move towards fast paced, health based shooters makes everyone realise what we yearn for... we yearn for Unreal. New Unreal Tournament. Please
