compelling story with fun beat-em-up gameplay. perfect entry point for the series.

game has the most bizarre backwards learning curve when you start it. once you're over it all combat is a cakewalk. the characters are all interesting and each individual chapter area is incredibly unique with its own secrets to find based on the choices you make. flotsam will always be close to my heart. probably one of the most beautiful areas in the series.

the best harvest moon game there is and it isn't even a harvest moon game. every character has a good backstory and all of the farming elements are well thought out to the point where you can have the whole farm be practically automated.

very relaxing builder/adventuring game. fun nordic setting with a serene soundtrack to carry you through your viking adventures.

you get to be a monster hunter who travels across a war torn country. the main story takes you to interesting locales with very memorable quests. use witcher senses to track different monsters and use all the tools in a witchers' arsenal to dispatch these creatures.

fun arpg with different styles of play. the pace of combat moves very quickly so you'll often be on your toes for each new encounter.

great shooting, great characters, great story. i also love a good cowboy setting so this is all one perfect package.

i like everything about this game except for the army war campaign. doesn't feel great to play unless you happen to pick one of the only good generals. other than that the characters are all interesting and the multitude of classes offer so many play styles. you can really create any character you can think of here. the music is really well done and the combat feels strong with the option to do real time or turn based.

best 3rd person shooter ever made. tight controls. fun story with a varied cast of enemies.

great re-imagining of the original title. tows the line of being a horror-thriller that captures the heart that the beginning of the series had.

the most solemn first person shooter i think i've played. great cast, memorable story. levels and equipment all made up a great sandbox. my personal favorite halo.

surprisingly strong story. lightsaber combat is no jedi academy but definitely gets the closest in terms of fun.

this game is easily the second best top-down 2D zelda behind ALttP. lots of charming characters and colors crammed into a GBA cartridge.

really solid title that doesn't really do anything too different in the series other than be the only game to have as dark of a tone as majora's mask.

they took a great formula with BotW and added to it with the crafting mechanics. adding an underground section and new caves to explore was wise in adding to an already explored overworld.
