you should play NOW
Retro stuff I swear by
25 Games
My personal favorite PlayStation game.
Rawket lawnchairrrrr
Metroid 1 if it was good
You can skip Metroid 2. Metroid 3 shows its age, but remains a core title in the metroidvania genre.
Metroid 4. More linear but still a Metroid game at its core.
The best 3D Zelda.
Or, optionally the GBA version. Extra dungeon and some minor QoL changes.
IMO the best 2D Zelda.
IMO the best 2D Zelda.
It's hard to go wrong with this one.
I personally recommend playing this with the MaternalBound Redux ROM hack. I really love this game after having played it.
Chrono Trigger's loosely related sequel. It would be good to play Chrono Trigger first, but it's not necessary. A very unique battle system and a neat story.
Before Pizza Tower, we had this.
Content rich and classic.
Metroid, but also Kirby.
I wouldn't shame you for playing with rewind.
If you don't like planes, you might not be into it. But if you do, every Ace Combat on the PS2 is a treat to play. I can't choose between Zero and 04.
My least favorite.
Optionally the HD version on the WiiU.
