My favorite video games

“Man you’re weird” you can blame these games not me

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy
I don’t have a bunch of collections on here but this was how I experienced these and it’s just such a tight experience in all three games I have trouble separating them and it’s as a whole my favorite game. Gun to my head I’d say AA3 is my overall favorite though.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
A story and cast I still look back on fondly and gameplay I think far outshines the first game and the following game.
Final Fantasy XIV Online
Final Fantasy XIV Online
A genre I never thought I’d play has successfully taken over my life and I think about my character so much I’m sure this is normal
Chrono Trigger
Chrono Trigger
The best turn based combat of its time, fantastic music, and a wonderful story with a simple but flawlessly executed premise that ties into progression very naturally. Will never shut up about this one.
Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix
Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix
The most fun video game. You have so many toys at your disposal throughout the game and it’s fun just doing anything. Fantastic music, graphics, and the story is nice.
Project +

This mod fucking rocks. My go to smash bros experience.
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective
Buy Ghost Trick
Halo: Reach
Halo: Reach
PEAK CAMPAIGN. PEAK MULTIPLAYER. PEAK HALO.
Portal 2
Portal 2
#1 game that makes me feel like a genius and an idiot
Sonic Generations
Sonic Generations
It will forever baffle me how Sega perfected the boost formula with this game and then completely abandoned it and it was also the last 3D Sonic game I liked. Curious!
Super Paper Mario
Super Paper Mario
There will never be another game like Super Paper Mario even if you don’t like it I think it would be nuts not to appreciate it on some level.
Pokémon Platinum Version
Pokémon Platinum Version
I’ve gone back and forth on my favorite Pokemon game for the better part of a decade but I realize that I just have more nostalgia for Gen 4. I replayed it recently and it was still a great time which I weirdly can’t do with some other Pokémon games even ones that I would consider better than Platnium on most levels.
Luigi's Mansion
Luigi's Mansion
The tightest designed video game replaying this is like riding a bike. It’s one of the most fun games to replay for me.
Persona 5 Royal
Persona 5 Royal
I do not like this era of revisionist history of saying this game was bad this game is fun and the added Royal content is great.
Kid Icarus: Uprising
Kid Icarus: Uprising
This game never hurt my hands I’m sure people aren’t lying or anything I’m just slightly concerned for myself also it has great writing and I really enjoy the mission and difficulty structure.
Pikmin 2
Pikmin 2
This game is so funny and just a fantastic sequel. Expands on the first game perfectly while having more than its own identity with caves and no day limit.
Batman: Arkham Origins
Batman: Arkham Origins
Nobody loves this game as much as I do being Arkham Origins biggest fan is my curse to bear.
Mega Man X4
Mega Man X4
X1 or even X8 is probably better depending on the day for me but I’m shallow enough to admit I really enjoy how the ps1 style looks and the easy difficulty makes going through both X and Zero’s story satisfying to do.
Fire Emblem: Awakening
Fire Emblem: Awakening
I think this game is what I needed to truly get me hooked on the series. Fun story and characters, easy to get into, and while it does truly snowball in your favor pretty quick it’s still fun to me.
Final Fantasy VI Advance
Final Fantasy VI Advance
This game is so fucking cool there’s a billion characters the story and music are phenomenal it’s so impressive they got everything on a SNES cartridge to this day. An actual miracle game to play.
Marvel's Spider-Man
Marvel's Spider-Man
I’m an Arkham series refugee here to say thank you Insomniac for making like the most fun ps4 game
Titanfall 2
Titanfall 2
Potentially the most creative FPS campaign of the last decade I can’t speak much for multiplayer but it’s worth it for that fantastic single player alone I promise.
Rivals of Aether
Rivals of Aether
Seeing this game develop has been rad as hell I love it so much it’s so smooth so fun and has had great updates and additions over the years. Underrated soundtrack too honestly.
Mario Party 6
Mario Party 6
A while ago I was wondering if I had rose tinted glasses for this game but then I played the other GameCube and n64 Mario Parties and nah I’m right.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
I know this games level design better than I do my own city.
Kingdom Hearts Final Mix
Kingdom Hearts Final Mix
This game rules in ways completely different from its successors and that’s awesome to me. Cool world designs, neat bosses, and a fun plot. Fantastic music but like no shit.
Kirby: Planet Robobot
Kirby: Planet Robobot
Peak 2D Kirby, I love the Robobot armor it’s a perfect expansion of Kirby’s abilities and the level design accommodates it all perfectly. Really fun to 100% too.
Animal Crossing: New Leaf
Animal Crossing: New Leaf
I played this so much I think I would be genuinely embarrassed if I looked at my 3ds activity log. But it got me through a long while and there’s so much to do the amount of content is nuts.
Punch-Out!!
Punch-Out!!
I feel really lucky I got this game as a kid because it made every accomplishment 10x cooler. Even now it’s a fantastic formula that I hope we see again.
Terraria

I did nothing else but play this for a month holy shit what a game
