This is a dumb ranking of video games I made over the course of days, weeks, months who knows how long. They are entirely based on my feelings and I am often just making a call between how much I like a game and what I think is reasonable. I also don’t really want to limit all franchises to one game but like I don’t see a point in having Ratchet and Clank 1-6 in a row so sometimes I’ll just pick my favourite, and maybe even just add games when the list is so big it wouldn’t look that way anyway. So enjoy reading this and judging me for my bad taste in games. Lastly, obviously I am not considering games I have not played. And the key word is played, not finished. I will be adding to it whenever I feel like it.

This is my favourite game of all time. There is a ton of writing out there about what people love about this game, I could go on for paragraphs but I've seen what I love about it reflected so often and these are brief summaries just explaining their place. Maybe some other time.
This was my favourite game of all time until a few years ago. It is my first Final Fantasy and hit me at an age where it influenced my tastes and even thoughts about some subjects going forward for the rest of my life. Mechanically sound, a good story and characters I am very familiar with in a very well realized world. FFX good.
I love Pokemon. This is my favourite one. A mixture of nostalgia and maybe the peak of its design as a traditional Pokemon game. I feel like this is the last time it felt like it was okay for them to just keep doing what they always did well. Not that I dislike Pokemon games that come out after this, but to me this is the best of them.
This game has very personal reasons for being this high up for me. I don't really want to go into them but this is -my- Sonic. I have not been a Sonic fan in over a decade but this game had such a strong impression on me when I was a kid and a lot like FFX has probably influenced the kinds of stories I am invested in. Knowing what I know now it is of course just doing the thing anime is doing in general but that doesn't stop this from being a game I find as comfortable as climbing into bed for a good sleep.
The HD Version makes this game better than Chrono Trigger, according to me.
This games great and I do love me some Akira Toriyama designs. Combat is good, music is some of the best. Good Chrono Trigger.
Windwaker is better but it fucking should be, that's progress.
You all know why this game is good I don't have to say it. Its position could change depending on the day of the week but it's gonna be pretty high up.
This game is really special. It took me awhile to come around to finally investing the time to play it, marathoning these games is a commitment. It's taken me almost 3 years to get to Yakuza 3, just in time for it to come to PC. Still, this remains the best one I've played by a mile. It is just a very well told drama that nails walking the line between being totally batshit absurd and very emotionally heavy crime drama. Being set in 80s Japan it just really shines in its tone.
This is the first Kirby game and its the best one. Kirby's real simple. Good fun platformer I enjoy very much. A solid game you can finish in a couple hours. And the 3D classics verison honestly adds a lot to its simple graphics.
