The Best Games
Note that this is a hypothetical world where Glover didn't exist, as that will always be #1.

Really the Robot is only on one wheel, so this is false advertising.
The second best game about scaling a castle and jumping into magical paintings.
The best game about scaling a castle and jumping into magical paintings.
The Mario game that has a noose hanging in the starting town.
Parrying is epic.
An indie game with a message that is also a good game.
Going from this to Infinite is one of the biggest drops in quality I've seen in any series.
Could portray its story a little better, but this is still a classic Indie game.
Still wild that Donkey Kong is only playable in one of the original DKC games.
Why do the people scream when being rolled up if they like it? 1/10
I still love spending an hour building a war machine and then having it immediately wiped out in combat.

Classical tragedy where society shuns the Sigma and won't let him live happily.
Crazy how 'psyche up' instantly makes the gameplay so much more engaging.
A straightforward sequel done well.
This is like if someone made a coffee maker held together by duct tape, but somehow the coffee is shot out at sonic speed and burns holes through concrete.
I miss when people made games that are fun and cool.
Lives up to the title. Feels more like a true world than any other Mario game.

I'd say it's sad that this is the peak of the series decades later, but even if the series was still good and relevant this would still probably be the peak.
Quite possibly the first console game with actually great characters.
The game still just has a great sense of adventure. I imagine this was the greatest game ever when it first released.
A game that's completely dedicated to being simply cool, and it succeeds in pretty much every way. (The castle is kinda boring tho)

The greatest falling block game.
Probably need to replay this one, but I loved it when I first played it.

Valve games are usually tech demos, but they're the best tech demos I've played.

Awesome in pretty much every way, but falls into the somewhat prevalent pitfall of 2D Platformers basically becoming rhythm games without that genre's perks.
Imagine if Solo: A Star Wars Story was a masterpiece, and realize that's basically what this game is.
No extraneous systems, everything works to make an incredible experience. Game could've been shorter though.
Don't even have a joke about this, it's just an excellent game.
A little more conventional than some of the earlier games in the series, but it has some of the greatest mechanics and level design of any game ever.

Duke Nukem has nothing on Caleb.
"This is not your fault, but Ours for believing in you."
While many indie games ride the coattails of masterpieces, this game fully realizes the potential of a mechanic from a semi-obscure NES game while also carving out its own identity.
The quintessential action platformer. Backflips are cool.
Looking back, what really sticks out about this game to me is that despite how silly and goofy it is, it treats its characters with a level of care that few stories would ever do. It's also just an incredible detective game.
A true miracle game. Delivers a dense world that fits thematically with its core mechanic, which is in itself a brilliant way to ensure mastery of puzzles and combat.
I like the cool robot game.

@AlphaOne2 Yeah, I really need to review some of the Dragon Quest games because I think there's a lot to be said on some of the games. Maybe once I play Dragon Quest V I'll do a review.
