Some games I've played before aren't on here (ie Danganronpa, Dandelion) because I want to replay them before re-rating them.
TOP 5: Utawarerumono Mask of Truth, Remember11, The House In Fata Morgana, Umineko When They Cry, AI The Somnium Files

PLAY THIS! ✔️ Another Code R is a cozy time and I prefer this to its remake.
MAYBE PLAY THIS ⚠️ Contains men fuckin other men. You have been warned. Sweet Pool feels gross and disgusting and I really, really love that about it. Just read the game description and determine if you wanna play something like that.

PLAY THIS! ✔️ 428 rules! If you 100% it like me you will go utterly insane, but it's worth it.
PLAY THIS! ✔️Layton call me. (You should at minimum play the first two games before this one.)
PLAY THIS! ✔️ The artstyle upgrade is so funny. This one has a much better expanded story than the first.
PLAY THIS! ✔️An early DS game with a lot of soul. It doesn't have a groundbreaking plot or anything but is generally a fun time. Emi Evans is credited as playing the cello in this iirc. Also tons of old Funimation voices doing the dub, take me back man.
12Riven is a very strange game, that's all I can say.
MAYBE PLAY THIS ⚠️AT THE TIME OF WRITING, THERE IS NO WAY TO EXPERIENCE THE FULL GAME IN ENGLISH. An English patch is in the works, join the Discord for updates here: https://discord.gg/xBe7Kmq2FX

PLAY THIS! ✔️ Layton call me.
MAYBE PLAY THIS ⚠️ It's a fine game, but in retrospect having AA5 and AA6 be both 1) bad and 2) rewrite apollo's character again and again, it almost makes this game feel really fucking pointless.

MAYBE PLAY THIS ⚠️An interesting idea for a game that I feel like falls apart the more you play it/get to the ending reveals. Genuinely I fail to see what everyone liked about it, it might be the nostalgia talking.
Play the sequel Last Window, it is 5000% better than this.

DON'T RECOMMEND❌I think the version on the DS is better....
PLAY THIS! ✔️ Bro it's the ace attorney trilogy it's good.

MAYBE PLAY THIS ⚠️ If you like really, REALLY out there and nearly impossible to follow plots, you may like I/O. You'll probably never play anything else like this.
I think about going back to this game for a replay once every few months before stopping myself. Someday I will actually replay it and I may become super enlightened.

PLAY THIS! ✔️ They did surgery on a grape
PLAY THIS! ✔️ It's not groundbreaking but it's 4 hours long, so like. Y'know.
PLAY THIS! ✔️ The greatest Infinity game. Anyone who disagrees just didn't get it. Do not let anything stop you from playing this game and letting it consume your every thought like it did for me.
Play Remember11 Gestalt Edition if you're trying this out!

MAYBE PLAY THIS ⚠️ I think if you're interested in galge this is the game for you, but I personally found this to be a very grating experience.
DON'T RECOMMEND❌If you're someone who's played Uchikoshi's modern works (999 and after), you may be tempted to try this game out. It is honestly very boring for 80% of its runtime and I don't recommend it unless you want to see how Uchikoshi grew as a writer rather than be enthralled by a great story.
Play Ever17 Himmel Edition if you're trying this!

PLAY THIS! ✔️Utawarerumono'ers rise up. A good visual novel and a good SRPG (the gameplay won't wow you with its simpleness, but I like it nonetheless). Check out the entire Utawarerumono series!!
(At this point, just play Prelude to the Fallen, it includes voice acting and is actually accessible to play.)

DON'T RECOMMEND❌There was legitimately too much rape in this game for me to want to continue through it, but also Nasu creating a world with VAMPIRES and still having it be boring as fuck is like an entirely separate crime from the bountiful sexual assault
PLAY THIS! ✔️this game is straight up bad, just downright dogshit, but it's at least VERY entertaining to watch unfold, which I cannot say for Ever17.
Play Never7 Eternal Edition if you're trying this out!
