(Favorite Game for Every Year I've Been Alive)

Except that I didn't play anything from 1995 and 2021.

Tried to give more weight to games that were important to me in my youth instead of my current favorites.

Tales From Off-Peak City Vol. 1
Tales From Off-Peak City Vol. 1
(2020)

Kinda of a weak selection to pick from, to be honest.
Disco Elysium
Disco Elysium
(2019)

All time favorite.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
(2018)

All time favorite party game. Made me go to a tournament to get slapped around. Won one match tho.
Honorable mentions to Ringo Ishikawa and Heaven Will Be Mine.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Just a good game in a not so good year.

Solid pick in a weak year.

Got me a questionable internet friend.

Obsessed over it, catered to my adolescent wishes perfectly.
Assassin's Creed II
Assassin's Creed II
(2009)

This slapped back then.

(2008)

I mean, it's not good in retrospect, but this game was my life back then.
Halo 3

Spent a lot of time in the editor making stages to play against my friends when they visited.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
(2006)

Don't really like it now, but it blew my mind back then.
GunBound

(2005)

Honorable mention to We Love Katamari and Killer7, which are better games but didn't impact me as much as this korean Worms clone did.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
(2004)
Star Wars: Jedi Knight - Jedi Academy
Star Wars: Jedi Knight - Jedi Academy
(2003)

I had a pirated copy that reset at every 45h of game time, so I basically beat it once every week.

Childhood defining.

Honorable mention to Planescape Torment.
Future Cop: LAPD
Future Cop: LAPD
(1998)

Not a strong pick.
Tibia
Tibia
(1997)

Honestly one of the most influential games of my life: fostered friendships, taught me that man is inherently evil, allowed my first outings with expressing creativity through game design and code via OT servers.

Growing up Brazilian and Tibiano builds special character.
Super Mario 64
Super Mario 64
(1996)

The OG.
