The best video game story ever told. Everything is so well done here, almost nothing feels too bloated or stretched out. The closest thing to perfection games have ever achieved.
Bugsnax
Mad Rat Dead
Paper Mario: The Origami King
Hollow Knight
It would take something truly incredible to move this from the top 3, I think.
Rayman Legends
Rhythm Heaven Fever
Solatorobo: Red the Hunter
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective
Punch-Out!!
Professor Layton and the Unwound Future
Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix
We Love Katamari
Resident Evil 4
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
I think this game understands Metroid better than most of the 2D games if I'm gonna be honest.
